Main photo: Rosslanders took to the streets on Saturday to remove fruit that attracts bears from city trees. After all that work, pickers were left with a bundle of fruit. Pears and apples were taken for juicing on Sunday, but the plums couldn’t be juiced because of their pits. Rosslanders had to come up with other solutions of what to do with the fruit, like drying it or making chutney. Inset photo: Eamon Wright helped out picking plums. Photos by Chelsea Novak

Campfire ban lifted, still time for s’mores CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News
As summer comes to a close, residents of the Kootenays have a last chance to enjoy a good old-fashioned campfire. As of noon on Monday, campfires are no longer banned in the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction.
Karlie Shaughnessy, Fire Information Officer for B.C. Wildfire Services, warns, “Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length
of time.” Fires need to be no more than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide, and open fires in an outdoor stove are also permitted. Any other outdoor burning, including fireworks and backyard burning piles, remains prohibited. Tickets for illegal burning are $345,

and individuals can also be required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000. If convicted in court the penalty can be a fine of up to $100,000 or a year in prison. If illegal burning contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible could be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Ten commercial spaces to rent Chelsea Novak Rossland News
Of the 10 commercial spaces for rent in Rossland’s downtown, six are on the 2100 block of Columbia Avenue. Many of the spaces have been left by businesses moving down the block, closer to Washington Street, but those businesses couldn’t have moved if there weren’t empty spaces to begin with. Some of the extra spaces were created when the hardware store closed down and was divided into seven units.
Renovations finished in February, and just one spot remains empty. Chris Bowman, the owner’s representative, said he has had some enquiries regarding the space. Joe Van Der Ham owns 2118 Columbia Ave. and one of the suites in his building has been empty for about four months, since the artist renting it passed away. Van Der Ham has had enquiries about the space, but he’s been holding it for his son, who may open a business there. Van Der Ham attributes so many empty

Superintendent’s Message The Labour Day weekend in September marks the end of summer for students and staff. September is an exciting time as we begin the school year helping students on their learning journey. We encourage all of our community to be actively involved with your schools. Talk to your child’s teacher and principal and find a way to stay involved and connected. Parental involvement really can make a difference in student achievement. All schools will be open at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8th for the registration of students new to the district and for any local Kindergarten and Grade One students not previously registered. Students will report for instruction on Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at times noted below. September 8th will be a shortened day for students. Shortening the day will allow students an opportunity to become acquainted with their school, while at the same time enabling teachers to finalize their preparations for Wednesday, September 9th, the first full day of instruction. Kindergarten students will have gradual entry over the first two weeks so please contact your school for those times or visit the district website at www.sd20.bc.ca. To our existing students and families welcome back! To our new students and families, whether you are just starting kindergarten or moved here over the summer, a special warm welcome to your new school and district.

spaces downtown to the construction on Columbia three years ago. “When the City tore up the street, and redid all the front street, that finished off a lot of marginal businesses,” he said. The former notary republic’s office at 2110 Columbia Ave. belongs to Andy Talbot and has been empty since June 1. Talbot has been a commercial landlord in downtown Rossland and a downtown business owner for about 30 years. Asked if he’d seen a shuffle like this before, he said, “not quite like this one.” Like, Van Der Ham, Talbot attributed the high number of empty spaces on Columbia to the construction. “There were businesses there before they
tore up the main street, and I think we anticipated that there would be some casualties to having that much disruption to business,” he said. But Talbot also observed that not every business needs a storefront. “With home-based business and with computers, people don’t so much need office space and need downtown,” he said. Asked to comment on the effects of construction, Mayor Kathy Moore said, “I’m sure it had a negative effect because the street was closed. The city and the contractor did everything they could to keep business open as much as possible, but you know, there’s no place to park, and you know, it was a hassle. It wasn’t

the nice inviting street that it is today.” Moore stressed that the construction on Columbia Avenue was necessary, and that it was done when it was because the province was going to pave the road. She also pointed to the city’s Tax Revitalization bylaw, which allows a building owner to make improvements on a building, and take a tax holiday on the improvements for an agreed amount of time. “It’s something that we do to try and help business,” she said. “But some of the things... It’s beyond what the city can control... If somebody chooses a business, it’s up to them to do their market research to see if their business is viable for this community.”

Rossland businesses eligible for excellence awards CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News
For the first time in 10 years the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce will hold Business Excellence Awards. The return of the awards comes just after the Rossland Chamber of Commerce merged with Trail’s organization, giving Rossland’s businesses the chance to compete alongside their peers down the mountain. The awards are open to any business in the district, not just members of the chamber. When asked why the awards have now made a comeback, Landy Barta, member services manager, said, “We have a bunch of new employees. I’m fairly new, and I’m one of the organizers of the business awards, and also we have our new board, and a new executive director. We’re just trying to do more events for our members and the community.”
There are six awards categories: • Business of the Year Award • Customer Service Excellence Award • Retail Excellence Award • Not-for-Profit Community Impact Award • Trades Services Excellence Award • Professional Services Excellence Award Nominations are due by Sunday, Sept. 20, and nomination forms are available online. The three finalists in each category will be announced Wednesday, Sept. 30, and the winners will be announced at the Business Excellence Awards brunch at the Riverbell on Saturday, Oct. 24. In the meantime, the chamber is still looking for some help with the awards. “We are still looking for three sponsors for our awards,” said Barta. Each sponsorship is $150 and the name of the sponsor will appear on the trophy and in advertising leading up to the brunch.

Kids are headed back to Rossland Summit School (RSS) on Tuesday and this year they can expect things to be a little different, with a new principal and a new curriculum. Patrick Kinghorn is the new principal at RSS, and he’s excited for the new school year, and the new curriculum for Grades Kindergarden to Grade 9. He’s joining vice-principal Bud Gregory and the rest of the RSS staff to implement the curriculum, which is still optional this year. The new curriculum, which will be implemented province-wide next fall, still emphasizes literacy and numeracy — or reading, writing, and arithmetic — but also introduces the “core competencies” of communication, thinking, and personal and social competency. It also focuses on the idea of flexible learn-
ing environments, leaving room for teachers and students to decide how lessons should be taught. That’s something Kinghorn and Gregory are very excited about. “The focus is more voice and choice,” said Gregory. “Kids will have more voice and choice in their education.” “There are fewer learning outcomes,” said Kinghorne, “which means it also gives teaching professionals the opportunity for more voice and choice in how they deliver curriculum.... It’s less prescriptive, so that’s an exciting thing too.” Because RSS used to be a high school, a lot of its infrastructure is set up for high school programs. “We have an amazing facility here: we have a wood shop, we have an art facility, we have a big foods room, and a music room,” said Gregory. Most elementaryschool-aged students don’t have access to a foods or music room,

OUR VIEW
Don’t write-off the new curriculum just yet
The new B.C. curriculum has received a less than warm reception by some critics who claim it’s just provincial spin, selling the same-old-same-old with a shiny new package and product description. But my interview with this week with Patrick Kinghorn and Bud Gregory, principal and vice-principal of Rossland Summit School, revealed that they at least were excited about it. The reason those working in schools are excited while those looking in from the outside are more sceptical could be because the curriculum is ultimately just a tool, and how successfully that tool is wielded depends entirely on who’s using it. In the hands of some teachers, it’s possible that the new curriculum will change very little, but in the hands of others it could be used to open up opportunities for students. An article by Black Press’ own Tom Fletcher mentioned an example where a teacher in Dawson Creek encouraged students in physics and math by teaching them to reassemble motors. Just an hour away, and longer ago than I care to mention, I was thinking of dropping Physics 12 at the Fort St. John high school, but luckily my teacher was also my curling coach and used interdisciplinary tactics to help me get my physics grade up and keep me in class. The new curriculum will simply make this tactic available to more teachers.

New pilot project helps local farmers and regional food security A new regional co-op has begun operations with a pilot project helping local farmers get their goods to a broader range of markets. The Kootenay and Boundary Food Producers Coop (KBFPC) began it’s market brokerage and distribution pilot in July with their new coordinator, Susan Warren. They are working with farmers in the Salmo and Fruitvale areas to help find markets and distribute their products to those markets over the course of the summer. Warren determines what products are available from which farmers on a weekly basis and coordinates with local retailers and a local shipper to get sustainably grown veggies into more hands. Kootenay Market, Ferraro Foods and Kootenay Bakery Coop are just some of the retailers now ordering from the Producer’s Coop. “The goal of this pilot,” Warren says, “is to allow farmers to remain on their farms growing food and raising animals, while reducing their costs by working cooperatively.” The KBFPC plans to offer other much needed services to its members, just at a time when food prices and uncertainty of supply are becoming national issues.
Co-op member participating in the pilot, John Abernante from Earthly Organics in Fruitvale.
Kim Charlesworth, a founding member, says, “Our research shows long term winter storage, a labour pool, and a value added processing facility are all critically needed in the area.” The pilot program will give them the opportunity to learn what works well and what doesn’t, after which they will expand operations to other areas where members farm or reside, says Charlesworth. “We’d like to thank the Nelson District Credit Union, Columbia Basin Trust and BC Coop Association for helping us get started.” The KBFPC is hosting a Local Pro-

Dirt and bikes were flying at the seventh annual Huck’en Berries Bike Jam at Centennial Park on Saturday. This was the second year in a row that the event was sanctioned by the Freeride Mountain Bike Association (FMBA). “What the FMBA helps us with is getting bigger riders, and gets the riders more points, and helps them progress in their riding,” said Rory
Belter, the event’s organizer. The bike jam was completely volunteer run, with riders helping to repair the jumps between events. A number of local businesses also helped out by sponsoring the jam. “We really appreciate all of the community support,” said Belter. The event usually features riders of all ages, but there was no junior event this year, as many of the junior riders (ages 11 and under) were out on injuries.

Eritrean refugees arrive in Rossland chelsea novak Rossland News
The West Kootenay Friends of Refugees (WKFoR) welcomed their second sponsored family last Wednesday. Twenty-nine year old Ruta Zakarias Yohannes is a refugee from Eritrea, Africa. She arrived from a refugee camp in Cairo with her two sons, Eyobed Gideon Melake, who turned five the day they arrived, and Yonathan Gideon Melake, age four. Ruta fled Eritrea after her husband didn’t come home one day. She hasn’t seen him since. “What was happening was that officials were putting pressure on her to say where her husband was, and the story we have anyway, is that she didn’t know where he was,” said Jan Micklethwaite, a WKFoR volunteer, “but that it’s very common in Eritrea for people to disappear and never be seen again. You know, the jails are filled with political prisoners.” Ruta escaped Eritrea and made it to Cairo where she and her boys lived for a year and a half, and where she applied to immigrate to Canada as a refugee. Two other women from the camp have also immigrated to the Kootenays. Both Helen and Salam live in Nelson, and know Ruta from the camp. “What’s really cool is that they had met ... Ruta when they were all in the refugee camp in Cairo,” said Micklethwaite. “So when we had decided to sponsor her we didn’t know about them and we didn’t know there was this connection.” Helen and Salam surprised Ruta and her children at the airport on Wednesday, along with members of the WKFoR. Ruta speaks some English, but her primary language is Tigrinya and knowing other Eritreans in the area will give her the opportunity to keep speaking it.
I would like to wish all workers and their families a safe and relaxing Labour Day. We honour your commitment to make our community strong and prosperous. Katrine Conroy, MLA Kootenay West 1-888-755-0556 Katrine.conroy.mla@leg.bc.ca www.katrineconroy.ca
The WKFoR will help Ruta learn more English and train for a job. Eyobed will be starting school in September, but Yonathan will need other opportunities to start learning English, like the Strong Start program. The program requires parents to attend with their children, so Ruta would also have the opportunity to learn more English, and would get to meet other parents with children the same age. The Canadian government will give Ruta a small stipend for the first six months she’s in Canada, and the WKFoR will help pay for anything not covered by the stipend and for any expenses during the following six months, at which point they hope she’ll have a job that will allow her to support herself. Ruta is currently living in lower Rossland, but the WKFoR is looking for an apartment for her that is closer to the school, as she doesn’t have a car.

Making music in the square Chelsea Novak Rossland News
Rosslanders on their way to the market on Thursday, August 20 may have noticed a new feature being installed in Harry Lefevre square. An upright piano, painted in bright, bold colors now sits in the square, waiting for passersby to tinkle its keys. The piano was put in Thursday at 2 p.m., and is the newest
addition to the “pop-up piano” phenomenon. It started in Seattle several years ago and the idea caught on across North America. Used pianos are given new life and a paint job, and then moved to a public outdoor spot where they can be enjoyed by everyone. Kelowna has its own pop-up piano program, called Pianos in Parks, and that’s how John Greene got the inspiration to put a piano somewhere in Rossland.
“It was on CBC one morning that they were doing this, and I thought, ‘That’s a hell of an idea. We need to do it here.’ So I put an ad on Bhubble and Irene Krewski donated a piano,” he said. Kids from Rossland’s Youth Action Network painted the piano, and Greene had it tuned before settling it in its new home. Rossland residents and visitors were already enjoying the piano the first day it appeared.

Soundproofing your man cave will ensure that the noise of male bonding, deep voices, loud music and cheering doesn’t disturb the entire household. A simple solution to controlling noise is acoustic insulation. A mineral wool product, such as ROXUL Safe ‘n’
Sound, offers sound absorbing qualities that will let you crank up your subwoofer and cheer and jump around when your favorite team scores. Installing mineral wool insulation on the interior walls of your man cave or media room will control sound, delivering a place you can call your own sanctuary to hang out with the boys.
