B.C. teachers switching to the education ministry's new curriculum this year will use 10 hours of classroom time to train on it.

Education Minister Mike Bernier announced the training plan Monday at the B.C. legislature, with teacher, trustee and parent representatives alongside. Bernier said training the first 2,000 teachers to deliver the new curriculum this year will cost $1 million and take the equivalent of two teaching days.

It's up to local school districts to decide how

that time is organized, but it may mean extra non-instructional days or parts of days when students would be sent home early.

The new curriculum is being piloted this year for kindergarten through Grade 9 and will become mandatory across the province starting next fall. Curriculum updates for the higher grades are still in development.

For the next two years, teachers across B.C. will use one of their current professional development days for curriculum training and an additional five hours, the equivalent of one classroom day, will

Need a job?

also be devoted to the new curriculum.

Bernier confirmed that the program is being implemented within existing budgets. The additional $1 million this year is to fund teacher training seminars and travel costs for rural teachers where the training isn't offered in their home districts.

The training plan was announced with representatives of the B.C. Teachers' Federation, the B.C. School Trustees' Association, superintendents, principals and vice principals, parent advisory councils,

independent schools, and the First Nations Steering Committee.

BCSTA president Teresa Rezansoff said school boards will decide how to structure the training to "best meet the needs of teachers while minimizing any impact on student learning time."

Bernier says the new curriculum emphasizes "hands on" learning and more flexibility for individualized studies.

Two areas of emphasis are environmental education and an enhanced aboriginal perspective in every subject.

The man who died following an incident with police at an Agassiz care home last week has been identified.

The man was 88-year-old Rene Armand Vaugeois, said the BC Coroners Service on Tuesday.

Vaugeois was a resident of Cheam Village, an independent-living seniors' residence in Agassiz.

Shortly after 7 a.m. on Sept.

23, Vaugeois became involved in an encounter with Agassiz RCMP officers at the residence.

He went into medical distress and died at the scene.

Because of the police involvement, the Independent Investigation Office of British Columbia was called in to investigate.

Initial reports said the man was holding a sharp object near his stomach, “believed to be a knife,” when police arrived.

Vaugeois sustained an injury in the period immediately preceding his death, the coroners service said. Although some reports stated that it was the cause of his demise, the injury was found to be minor in nature and its role in his death is still under investigation.

An RCMP member was also stabbed in the leg during the altercation. He was treated and released from hospital.

Both the he BC Coroners Service and the Independent Investigations Office continue to investigate.

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the IIO toll-free witness line at 1-855-446-8477 (TIPS).

The District of Kent is taking aim at businesses on agricultural land.

For the last two years, the District has been taking a hard look at businesses that are in the wrong-zoned land and coming up with solutions to bring them into compliance.

They are slowly whittling down the list of noncompliant businesses. At a Sept.

14 public hearing, four more businesses on the list got one step closer to compliance.

The text amendment to the District of Kent zoning bylaw brought forward for the public hearing will expand permitted use of the land to bring four businesses into compliance.

The applicants include Benno and Susan Spaeti on Else Road, Auke Feenstra on Fir Road, Mark and Monica Baboth on Pioneer Ave. and

Gordon and Charlotte Weiss on Dogwood Road . Coun. Spaeti excused herself from the Council Chambers at the start of the public hearing due to the conflict of interest.

According to a staff report to Council at an Aug. 17 regular Council meeting from Darcey Kohuch, director of development services, the properties owned by the applicants are among a group of "historic noncompliant businesses within the District that Council authorized staff to address as part of the Compliance Program."

Since enacting the compliance program in 2013, property owners have been contacted by staff and provided options for bringing their businesses into compliance, according to Kohuch's report.

Each of the four property owners agreed to participate in a joint application to save on costs.

In a phone interview prior to the public hearing, Mayor John Van Laerhoven explained that bringing businesses into compliance is a priority for Council because they want to make it fair for all business and protect the agricultural sector in the District.

"We're not encouraging new non-ag. businesses on farmland," said Van Laerhoven. "If we're going to continue to allow businesses to spring up all over the area, that's going to compromise agriculture."

The other issue is taxation. Van Laerhoven says with industrial and commercial properties taxed differently than agricultural land, the space should be used accordingly. By enforcing the zoning, "it levels the playing field for everybody involved."

When asked about the argument that the land was not being actively farmed anyway, Van OKANAGAN OKANAGAN OKANAGAN FRESH PICKED SPARTAN FRESHDELICIOUS CROP GOLDEN APPLES

Kent council is looking for a balance that would be fair to business, while protecting farmland.

Laerhoven said, "Then the community allows people to basically create zones wherever they want to."

Van Laerhoven says Council and staff have worked hard to provide opportunities for businesses to legally operate without having to go through the route of enforcement.

There were dozens of businesses operating illegally on agricultural land. Now, since the compliance program was brought in, it's down to a handful.

During the public hearing, several residents spoke up. One stream of questions centered around the change remaining with the property regardless of the owner.

These operations are longstanding businesses, said Van Laerhoven, and it's "not going to change the character of the town" by disallowing future business if or when the current owners leave.

But a neighbour to one of the businesses argued that he lives in a rural area and wants the property bordering his to convert back to a rural use if or when the current business moves on.

"I would prefer there wasn't a commercial OKANAGAN LOCAL NO SPRAYS OKANAGAN

business behind me," said Cameron Clark.

"I don't want to know that in perpetuity now there can be businesses running on agricultural rural land forever."

Dave Hastie, a long-time business owner who operated on agricultural land, said the culture for business has changed dramatically in Agassiz.

He said when he ran his business, he was welcomed with open arms by Council of the day. Now, he commented, "All of a sudden, these businesses no longer have a choice.

Their backs are against a wall."

But Kohuch says they have worked carefully and cautiously to address business owner's concerns while at the same time working to make them legal.

"We didn't come in and say we're going to shut everybody down," said Kohuch in a phone interview. "The idea is to find solutions within the legal framework that we work with."

Business on agricultural land is a longstanding issue, and one that has endless opinions. In a letter to the editor published Aug. 20 by Martin Sparkes, he wrote

that after operating a business with no issues, in 2013, he was faced with a long list of requirements that were expensive and onerous.

Sparkes stated that he moved his business to Chilliwack because of the financial risk of staying in Agassiz.

But according to District staff, Sparkes' application could not be approved in 2013 because his property is zoned for agricultural rather than commercial use.

According to Wallace Mah, District CAO, staff tried to work with Sparkes to find solutions that would allow him to legally operate his business, including a new type of zoning to permit both residential and commercial uses.

However, Sparkes did not avail himself to that opportunity or the more recent home occupation zoning amendment opportunity which included sharing the costs of application fees with the four neighbouring businesses. Instead he chose to move his office portion to Chilliwack and continue operating the remainder of his business illegally and without a business license in Agassiz.

Seabird looks to cement partnerships

Growing partnerships.

That’s been a consistent message from Chief and Council, and led by various departments within the Seabird Island Band office.

When the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) held its annual convention in Vancouver the week of Sept. 21st to Sept.

25th, the Seabird Island Band was represented by Jay Hope, Corporate Affairs Director, and Brian Titus, Chief Executive Officer of the Sqéwqel Development Corporation.

They attended various study sessions and networking events, and met with as many Provincial Ministers as they could. Then, on Sept. 24, Hope and Titus had the opportunity to present to delegates at one of the workshops.

Mutual Prosperity of First Nations and Municipalities was the focus of this particular workshop. Hope and Titus teamed up with District of Kent Mayor John Van Laerhoven and CAO Wallace Mah to describe the Community Economic Development Initiative partnership which exists between Seabird and Kent.

“One of the keys that came out of this was speaking to the UBCM delegates as a whole. I

think it’s important to realize that local First Nations and local municipalities will find their own way of working together. They’ll find their own dynamics. Each group is challenged in different ways, whether it be geographical or population wise, or physical space between each other,” stated Jay Hope after the workshop had been completed.

“I think it’s important for people to take advantage of these relationships.

It just doesn’t benefit one party. It benefits both. And to the end, it benefits the region and the province as well. Those opportunities for collaboration will certainly help things.”

Why partner?

Well, it’s certainly good business to engage your neighbours in anything you do.

And, most importantly, there are no borders in economic development. Partnering is about the economic benefits and other spin offs you can gain from a good working relationship.

It became very obvious during the presentation that Seabird Island Band and the District of Kent have a strong working relationship.

“We now have a much clearer understanding of the direction

of where Seabird is going, and what they see as their future vision, and what they see as helping their people grow and prosper.

I think Seabird sees the same as us,” stated Van Laerhoven.

“The regular gettingtogether helps to maintain that relationship. I think we trusted each other before.

I think we trust each other even more now.”

The key to this partnership is allowing both sides to get staff involved, and exchange ideas.

“I think that proves we have a commitment. We all know as councillors our lives are busy dealing with the political end of things. The actual works gets done on the ground by staff people. Staff people getting to meet each other, staff people supporting each other helps move initiatives forward,” added Van Laerhoven. “We’re committed to it - so we’re moving forward with it. I’m looking forward to the Agassiz/ Harrison Area First Nations Business Forum Oct. 20-21 in Harrison. I think it’s going to be a wonderful event. All the communities in the area get to move forward when a positive initiative happens in one of them.”

Seabird Island Band and

the District of Kent have collaborated on joint funding applications, joint petitioning of Federal and Provincial bodies, and currently share Fire and Protective Services.

“I think the integration of council sand staff is really important. It sets a tone for a working relationship,” summarized Hope. “I see this going in a very exciting direction. For one thing, we understand what the District of Kent is looking forward to in the future.

“The challenges we both have now is how can we work through those challenges collaborately, and how can we ensure that when we’re doing something at Seabird, that it’s going to complement things in the District of Kent, and it’s going to allow them to take advantage of whatever we’re doing as well.”

The most telling indication of the successful partnership achieved by Seabird Island and Kent came when one of the delegates stood up, and remarked that he hears about so many great things coming out of Seabird Island, initiatives that First Nations Bands and other municipalities look to copy by getting a first-hand account of the success stories.

New agreement bridges Fraser-Cascade schools and UFV

Fraser Cascade secondary students can enjoy an early start to trades careers thanks to a new agreement between School District #78 and the University of the Fraser Valley.

In a memorandum of understanding signed Sept.

24 (photo available here), SD #78 and UFV agreed to provide preferred access for students into designated UFV Trades and Technology programs on a reserved seat basis; deliver dual credit programming by UFV to students; and explore opportunities to deliver UFV programs within SD #78 high schools.

Both partners look forward to helping the next generation of skilled workers reach their career goals faster than ever before.

“We are confident that this partnership will provide our students with the necessary skills, abilities, and qualifications that will enable them to enter the workplace and look forward to bright and promising futures,” says SD #78 Superintendent Dr. Karen Nelson, pointing out her district has enjoyed a very effective relationship with UFV over the years in providing dual credit university courses.

John English, UFV’s Dean of Applied and Technical Studies, expects the new agreement will help students shift gears between educational experiences.

Get prepared: 72 hours of emergency readiness Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER

Local emergency officials want to make sure you and your family are prepared for emergency.

Given the past summer of wildfires, windstorms, flash floods and more, it’s a wonder this area has avoided catastrophe so far, reflects Gerald Basten, emergency program co-ordinator for the District of Kent and Harrison Hot Springs.

But that doesn’t mean the good luck will last forever.

Scientists predict B.C. is likely to have a big earthquake some day. Of course, there’s always a chance of flooding each Spring which has happened in the past, and other natural events like landslides or wildfires could put this area in an emergency situation quickly.

“Our geography makes us susceptible to be isolated,” says Pierre Groenenboom, co-ordinator for Emergency Social Services (ESS). “It’s really crucial that people be prepared for 72 hours at least.”

Groenenboom leads the small team of volunteers that helps people in emergency situations such as house fires.

He says whether planning for small-scale emergencies like a single house fire or large scale ones like earthquakes, it’s best to plan ahead so you have enough clothing, food and water for each member of your family - pets included.

An emergency kit should include food, water, blankets, clothing, medicine - everything needed for at least 72 hours without outside assistance.

The kits should be updated annually, adds Basten, to freshen up things such as the

food, water, and medications.

The kit also needs to change as the family changes....increase or decrease, kids get older, general family and pet make up changes.

In the case of largescale emergencies like an earthquake, Basten and Derek Dubriellak, deputy co-ordinator for the joint emergency program, want to assure the public that local emergency officials are ready.

The joint emergency plan is assessed and updated regularly, officials gather to train and play out different scenarios and the Agassiz Fire Hall is built to post-disaster specifications which means there should be at least one building standing after a major event from which to co-ordinate disaster relief.

The emergency team includes BC Ambulance Service, Kent Harrison Search and Rescue, representatives from the agriculture community as well as neighbouring communities, the fire departments, elected officials, administration from both municipalities and RCMP. There is also an amateur radio team, with eight to nine licensed operators who could assist with communication.

“We have a very competent team that operates at the local emergency level,” asserts Basten.

Agassiz and Harrison residents can do their part to be prepared by taking part in practice scenarios.

On Thursday, Oct. 15, the Great Shakeout takes place. This internationally recognized event encourages individuals, families, schools and businesses to practice earthquake readiness. As of mid-September, the 2015 drill already had more than 22.5 million people registered.

According to the BC Shakeout website, BC is considered a “high risk” province compared to the rest of Canada. The Great British Columbia ShakeOut is an opportunity to practice how to be safer during big earthquakes, states the site.

At 10:!5 a.m. on that day, wherever you are at the moment, be earthquake ready by stopping to drop, cover and hold on for at least 60 seconds.

You can register for the great BC Shakeout at www. shakeoutbc.ca If you are interested in taking an active role in emergency

assistance, Emergency Social Services is always interested in volunteers. Roles can range from as small as taking care of a displaced pet for a few days to being on-scene during an emergency to help a family through the event. The team could also use volunteers to work on education initiatives or register people for services at a reception centre.

For more information, go to the District of Kent website, www.district.kent.bc.ca, and click on ‘Emergency Services’ under the District Hall tab.

For more information on being prepared, B.C. has a brand new website full of useful information. Search ‘PreparedBC’ to easily find the site, or go to www2.gov.bc.ca/ and use the search tool on that site for ‘PreparedBC’.

Kent Council: briefly noted

Floating fireballs: Council has agreed to ban the use of floating lanterns in the District of Kent.

The British Columbia Fire Prevention Officers Association (BCFPOA) is looking to ban the use of the lanterns provincewide. According to the report by Agassiz Fire Chief Wayne Dyer, fire departments across B.C. have responded to calls as a result of fires caused by floating lanterns.

The lanterns, referred to as wish, sky or wedding lanterns, are set on fire and sent into the air. Dyer told Council there have been three incidents with the sky lanterns across the province and fire officials would like to see them prohibited in municipalities across the province.

“We look at it as a floating fireball,” said Dyer. “It’s just not safe.”

Coun. Duane Post said he finds that most people are responsible adults, adding, “These things are interesting – like a helium balloon, but more fun.”

The KENT HARRISON ARTS COUNCIL presents

Post voted against, the remaining councillors voted for the ban.

Mayor John Van Laerhoven said the problem with the balloons is even if you are a responsible individual, once the balloons are out of reach, you can’t do anything about them.

Both lots therefore remained agricultural, meaning the commercial uses were not legally recognized.

The zoning amendment allows a commercial use for a helicopter landing site at 1685 Tranmer Road and allows a commercial use for a welding shop at 6690 Key Road.

Zoning errors: Council passed two readings for a zoning amendment bylaw for two properties that have been improperly zoned for decades.

According to a staff report to Council, the Agricultural Land Commission approved a nonfarm use for a helicopter business on Tranmer Road in 1975. In 1968, four years prior to the Agricultural Land Reserve’s formation, a welding shop was established and continues to operate on Key Road.

The staff report by Darcey Kohuch, director of development services, states for “unknown reasons, the District did not process the appropriate Zoning Bylaw amendments” at the time.

Morrow and Pioneer Road Upgrades: Council awarded a bid for upgrades to Morrow Road and Pioneer Road to Timbro Contracting Ltd. for $681,078.40.

Upgrades on Morrow include sidewalk, curb & gutters along the north side between Tower and Industrial Road and sanitary sewer main replacement from Vimy Road to Garden Place. On Pioneer Ave, projects include sidewalk, fencing and curb & gutter on the south side from Ferny Coombe Pool’s driveway to the entrance of the CRCC driveway, and reconstruction of the road from Agassiz Ave. to the CRCC driveway entrance.

Opinion

Sugar tax worth tasting?

Published by Black Press Limited. 7167 Pioneer Ave., Agassiz BC V0M 1A0

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

This week’s call from the Canadian Diabetes Association for a sugar tax is a interesting idea and one our politicians should consider.

Sugary drinks may be the single most under-appreciated health threat facing us today.

The links between high sugar consumption, obesity and diabetes are wellknown. The societal costs to families are incalculable, but the out-of-pocket burden on our health care system is easily tallied. According to the CDA, it will amount to $14 billion this year alone.

It’s simply common sense for some of the cost to be shouldered at the root of the problem.

True, we haven’t banned tobacco or alcohol despite their known link to illness and death. But we haven’t ignored them either.

Each has been the focus of widespread attempts to educate or even shame those who overuse and abuse. Each has been subjected to surcharges and levies aimed at recouping some of the cost it adds to our health care bills.

The same needs to be done for sugary drinks.

Pointed advertising campaigns need to target those who make a case of soft drinks a part of their weekly routine. Moms and dads need to be warned right at the store about the amount of empty calories that slushy drinks or jumbo-size sodas pump into their child’s system.

Meanwhile, adding a sugar tax will create a new funding source for the treatment of diabetes and ailments related to obesity. It may also encourage people to shop for cheaper — and preferably healthier — alternatives to quench their thirst.

By offering your child certain cans of pop, you are effectively spoonfeeding her 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar with no other nutritional value.

If you saw your neighbours feeding their kids sugar by the spoonful, you’d probably be on the phone to social services. But for some reason not everyone is getting the message. We aren’t trying to demonize pop. We’re not saying never indulge yourself or your kids. The issue is that it should be a treat, not a regular dietary staple. If your kid is thirsty, give him or her a drink of water. Then call up your MP and urge them to do some sweet talking about a sugar tax.

Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country.

Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention

in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches.

This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.”

Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment.

Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passionate backers.

She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old

recruited by the Blue Dot team.

There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth

of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision.

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results.

The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance.

Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars.

This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice.

O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

A safe environment

I had almost a quiet summer.

Had two minor encounters with drug dealers and their customers.

Back in early June, I had a major encounter with a drug dealer and some of his customers.

There were 12-15 of them and I challenged them.

They were making it a very unsafe

Mailbag

environment. For a moment, they thought they had a run of the area, I proved them otherwise. Enough is enough. Perhaps it was the record hot weather and the smoke from the wildfires that kept the families off the streets.

It wasn’t until into the month of August that families began coming

out. They were playing in the Kent schoolgrounds and on the streets again.

On Monday night of Sept. 14, around 8:30 p.m., there were two mothers with their kids playing in the Friendship House parking lot.

It takes courage to confront evil.

They arrived without much advance warning, they arrived by the thousands, and the world was not prepared. This is a historic exodus of tragic proportion.

It does not make sense to ask ourselves "Why?". Only the refugees who have arrived will be able to tell their story and, over time, a clearer picture will emerge. For now it has to be sufficient to know that nobody will leave everything and endure hardship of all kinds in the hope of a better life elsewhere without a desperate reason. It happened many times throughout the history of mankind, but it is the one we have on hand we must attend to and the world is looking.

During times like this we need leadership to show us the way. What we find, however, is a desperate search for excuses that can enable us to push things over to the "other guy". With all the different resources in place around the world, the response should have been swift but, if we first have to find out "who should RUTH ALTENDORF do what" when tragedies happen, Happenings hardship and insecurity will be the result.

When the current crisis reached our own country, we found ourselves deeply involved in an election campaign and there is little doubt that what we witnessed will greatly impact the outcome and will force rethinking and realignment. We will have to decide where we stand and how we see our future in an increasingly smaller world. Will we stand up to the task? Much will be up to the new leaders we will choose on October 19th. And, to choose wisely puts a lot of responsibility on all of us.

Let's rise up to it and learn as much as we can about the different parties' ideologies and their beliefs before we vote. And vote we must if we want to have a say in our future! I sincerely hope that the younger generations, especially, will cast their votes this time it is their future also that's at stake.

Talking with family and friends about this subject is not always easy, however. In my family, for instance, you will find two committed Conservatives, one very alligned New Democrat and a long time Liberal, while the rest is still searching. It makes for tough discussions and sometimes sparks fly.

Luckily, my daughter, Yvonne, always brings these moments to an end by declaring: "Let's agree to disagree!" Personally, I also think that it helps to see the funny moments during an election campaign and I relate some: The Conservatives, trying to give their campaign a boost hired a "spin doctor" from Australia. He is here now but, in my opinion, he better rush back fast since the Australians ousted their own Prime Minister since he left. He - the "spin doctor" - has not much confidence in being able to be of much help here anyhow. It might be too late to turn the ship around or in his own words: "One cannot fatten-up a sheep on market day". Some changes have taken place, however, such as the writing on the conservative election signs i.e. "Proven leadership" was changed to "Protect your economy". Isn't this the same?

Community services looks forward following AGM The Annual General Meeting of Agassiz-Harrison Community Services took place on September 16th at Cheam Village with approximately 40 people attending.

Returning directors of the board include Tom Baldwin, Con Van Laerhoven, Barb Janzen, Ann Marie Leijen and Sheila Robertson. Three new directors were elected by acclamation including John Zuidhof, Nikoletta Read and Ray Hooper.

At a regular meeting following the AGM officers were elected. Tom Baldwin will continue in the role of chair with Nikoletta Read serving as ViceChair. Appointments included Sheila Robertson as Secretary and Barb Janzen as Treasurer.

Across North America, from October 4-10, fire departments will be out en masse reinforcing the basics of home fire safety. Fire Prevention Week garners huge support in Canada, so much so that classroom educational programs for teachers, primary school visits by firefighters and a myriad other special community events extend the week into a month-long safety campaign.

“We know that smoke alarms at least double your family’s chance of a safe escape. But to provide that critical early warning, they need to be installed in all the right locations and they need to be working,” says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist with smoke and carbon monoxide alarm manufacturer, Kidde Canada.

Heller also notes that latest-generation alarm technology can help provide peace of mind.

“Talking alarms that call out a warning in addition to beeping can help wake sleeping family members, “ says Heller. Specifically designed for installation in or right outside the bedroom, the Kidde Worry Free Bedroom Smoke Alarm features a voice alarm that says the words ‘Fire, Fire’ in both English and French, which accompanies an 85 decibel alarm tone.

Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!

Having a 10-year lithium battery sealed inside the alarm, a feature of all Worry-Free models, makes the alarms virtually tamper-proof and eliminates the risk associated with disabling the alarm.

Special options also exist for the hearing impaired. The Kidde Strobe Light is designed to be used in conjunction with smoke, CO or heat alarms in interconnected systems. The strobe light provides a bright visual signal, over and above the 85 db beep. The strobe flashes once per second.

Sept 25, 2015, Vaughan, ON – Homeowners must focus on both the location and age of their smoke alarms to ensure family members will wake up during an overnight fire, says a safety expert.

Statistics from the United States show that at least onehalf of all home fire deaths occur between 11 pm and 7 am, the time when most people are asleep. Canadian officials are certain the same trend exists here.

To emphasize the importance of being awakened during an overnight fire emergency, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has coined its theme for its 2015 Fire Prevention Week – “Hear The Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs A Working Smoke Alarm.”

Thank you to the District of Kent and Harrison Hot Springs Fire Departments, for helping to keep us safe.

“Working smoke alarms

save lives – test yours every month”

Find more Fire Prevention Week tips and smoke alarm installation advice at safeathome.ca.

Although most cities, towns, provinces and territories have adopted their own version of Canada’s Building Code at a minimum, one smoke or combination smoke/ CO alarm should be installed outside every sleeping area of a home.

“Fire Prevention Week is a great time to remind people that if you’ve taken down a smoke alarm after burning the toast and forgotten to put it back up, or removed batteries and left an alarm unpowered, you are placing your family at severe risk,” Heller adds. “This is not a trivial issue. In almost two-thirds of fatal house fires, investigators find that smoke alarms were either not present, or, were missing batteries.”

Heller’s other cautionary advice centres on aging smoke alarms. She is quick to point out that even if an alarm sounds when you push its Test button, that only means circuits are working and power is getting to the unit. It does not mean the alarm’s sensors are operating at full sensitivity.

After being exposed to years of dust, cooking grime, pet fur and other airborne contaminants Heller warns

that sensors could lose responsiveness. That’s why the NFPA recommends that if your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old or you can’t remembers its age, whether it is hardwired or battery powered, replace it immediately.

For CO alarms, any models purchased prior to 2009 should also be replaced.

National Fire Prevention Week 2015 What you need to know about smoke and CO detectors • Check the expiry date on each detector before buying to ensure you are not buying old stock. (life span is typically 10 years).

• Install a smoke detector or combination smoke / gas detector outside each bedroom on every floor.

• Hardwire with battery backup is recommended however battery operated detectors work well.

Batteries should be replaced every six months.

The textile art of Anne J. Steves

Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER

Boxes line the walls and the shelves sit empty as Anne J. Steves sits down to talk.

Steves is the new artist-inresidence at the Ranger Station Art Gallery. She arrived just a few days prior to meeting up with The Observer, and paused from her unpacking to share a bit about who she is and what inspires her.

“I use textiles, but wouldn’t call myself a textile artist,” Steves tries to explain.

Steves started her artistic creations using more traditional artistry forms of painting and drawing. But while working on her masters’ degree at the University of Victoria, primarily painting, she found she wasn’t happy with her work.

“I tore it up,” Steves explains, to see what interesting things she could create with the broken pieces.

Steves’ sister had bought her a sewing machine - “she was tired of making all my curtains” - so Steves decided to try sewing the pieces together. It worked, and she hasn’t looked back since.

She now blends different materials, uses drawing, painting, sewing - whatever methods inspire her and work to create the pieces. When she says she’s not a textile artist, it’s

because she has found most self-labeled textile artists come from a disciplined background.

For Steves, it was the simple memory of crocheting when she was 7, or sewing when she was 13, and kind of winging it to figure out what worked for her artistic needs.

Steves is inspired by “people, place, architecture and storytelling,” and hopes

to incorporate local stories, memories and fabrics into her works. During her time in Harrison, Steves plans to keep her ears open and her fingers searching for fabrics to tell stories. Whether they be interesting textures or designs found in pieces at the thrift store, or from donated fabrics.

If you have some interesting fabric to donate, Steves would

love to either listen to your stories surrounding that material and work to create something from it, or to imbue her own storytelling on the materials.

There’s a uniqueness about fabric not found in other materials, Steves reflects. It’s tactile. People feel the urge to touch it, to finger it and be connected to it in ways not found with other mediums.

To that end, Steves plans to incorporate tactile experience to allow for interaction between audience and art in her solo show scheduled for next June.

Steves is from Wales, moving to Canada with her family when she was 17 years old. She has lived mostly in the Vancouver area, but has also spent time in Victoria and even in Hope.

She says she has kept her eye on the artist space in Harrison, knowing it would be a perfect fit for her artistry and interest in small communities.

“It’s an interesting place to do what I’m doing,” says Steves.

Steves plans to take some of her pieces to work on around town. So if you see her sitting on a park bench, she invites you to sit down with her and have a chat and share about yourself as Steves learns about the people and places that make this such a special corner of the world.

Tile project leaves a legacy Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER

The Community Recreation & Cultural Centre (CRCC) has been open nearly a year now and has more than met expectations for usage since reopening.

The 14,000 sq. ft. addition opened in October, 2014 and has been well-used since then. Monthly usage reports are consistently up. For example, the August 2015 statistics report registered program revenue is up 56 per cent year to year, tickets / passes sales are up 23 per cent and drop in sales are up 17 per cent. Overall, the total facility usage is up 33.5 per cent comparing 2014 to 2015.

Of course, the expansion came at a price of $2,500,000. As part of fundraising efforts, a tile project was begun for locals to help fill the coffers of the CRCC pot and leave an imprint on the new building at the same time.

The first batch of tiles were installed recently at the CRCC. The beautiful and varied tiles will be left up permanently, allowing locals a chance to leave their mark on this community in a special way.

When the first tile workshop was offered last year, Sheila Robertson was one of the residents who decided to take part. Robertson painted a tile to represent the major events that have shaped her life. There's a barn to illustrate being born and raised on a dairy farm. She painted symbols to represent her long career in the Royal Canadian Air Force as well as her time spent abroad in walking groups. Lastly, there is a telephone to represent the 'friendly phone program'. That is a program Robertson Continued: p11

The tile, she explains, "is sort of my life."

Sylvia and Ted Fecho also painted a tile. They opted for painting one to represent some of the things they enjoy doing in the area like canoeing and biking.

They liked the idea of leaving an imprint, and they spend a lot of time at the CRCC. They love the CRCC and praise the staff for their knowledge and friendliness.

"It certainly helps support the rec complex," says Ted Fecho.

"But at the same time, it leaves a bit of a legacy as well."

The CRCC is offering another tile workshop Oct. 3. The Community Tile project is an opportunity to paint a ceramic tile to represent your family, your business or your interests.

The tiles are kiln-fired and will be installed on the same wall as the first batch of tiles. Recreation supervisor Kimberley Goulet says

they hope to fill the wall with tiles.

Sisters in Spirit Vigil Oct. 4

For years, communities have pinpointed the high number of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada. As of March 31, 2010 the Native Women’s Association of Canada has gathered information about 582 cases from across the country.

In British Columbia alone NWAC has gathered information about 160 cases, which accounts for almost a third of all cases in the database, and is substantially higher than any other province or territory in Canada. British Columbia also has among the highest rate of unsolved cases in Canada, with 49% of the cases unsolved. Most of the cases involve young women and girls under 31 years old, especially women aged 19-30, and of these, the vast majority were mothers. There is a responsibility to ensure that the children of these missing and murdered Aboriginal women remain connected to their communities and receive the necessary supports for healing. There is also a dire need to support family and community members who assume care for the children left behind.

Perhaps even more importantly, supports and resources for mothers must be understood as integral to any violence prevention strategy.

Please join us in a candlelight vigil to honor the missing and murdered Aboriginal women, to be held on October 4th at the Agassiz United Church. This service is nondenominational, and is open to all members of the community.

The Ruby Creek Art Gallery, owned and operated by the Sq’ewá:lxw First Nation, is pleased to announce that the second annual gallery open house event and #NativeArt Gala will be held on Friday, October 16, 2015 from 6PM until 9PM. We wish to invite all of our neighbours to join us for an evening of fine art, live music, cultural sharing, hors d’oeuvres and wine.

The Ruby Creek Art Gallery does a phenomenal job of displaying beautiful Native art pieces such as cedar and soapstone carvings, silver and gold jewelry, framed prints, original paintings, and drums.

However, “We believe that art appreciation should go beyond the visual aspect of just ‘seeing’ the art pieces. We want our visitors to also feel the beat of the drums and to hear

the voices of the artists, we want them to smell the cedar as it is being carved and, through story, to get a glimpse into the mind of the carver as a piece of cedar is brought to life. We believe that our Open House event will give our visitors that holistic experience and a better understanding of the art pieces that we have on display” states gallery manager, Mike Bellegarde.

Some of the highlights of the evening that are have planned are: • Cultural sharing of song and dance by Blake Shaá’koon Lepine (Tlingit) • Musical Storytelling by Shane Bellegarde (Cree) • Appetizers and refreshments will be served • Performances will begin at 6:15PM

OBITUARIES

MINION, Kenneth Arnott Feb. 18, 1923 – Sept. 24, 2015

Kenneth Arnott Minion, 92, died peacefully at his home September 24th. He was born in Weyburn, SK, February 18, 1923.

He met and later married the love of his life, Fernande Marie Rachel ( née Blouin) in Melfort SK, and they had 66 wonderful years together. He moved his family to Chilliwack in 1961, and worked as a realtor until retiring in 1980. He loved to golf, where “down the Minion” meant in the middle of the fairway to his buddies. He also loved bridge, squash and badminton; he started skiing at 55, and continued them all into his 80’s. He loved to play the piano and violin, both self taught, and to sing along.

He is survived by his wife Fern, daughter Janice Bergen, son Randy (Cindy) Minion, and five grandchildren: Kelly, Sarah, and Hannah Minion, and Ryan and Sean Bergen.

He was predeceased by his parents Emma and Albert Minion, his brothers Nelson and George (Bud) and sisters Orlene and Nita.

He will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor, honesty, work ethic and loving nature. A celebration of his life will be held Thursday October 1st at his home from 2-4 pm. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Ruth and Naomi’s mission would be appreciated.

LANFRANCHI - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on September 23, 2015 of our mother, grandmother and much beloved friend Lidia Fernanda Viola Lanfranchi at Agassiz BC at the age of 86 years.

Lidia was born on September 9, 1929 to Remigio and Gina Viola in Bressana Bottarone, Province of Pavia, Italy. She grew up in a close-knit community with a large family and many friends. This experience shaped Lidia into the warm, friendly, radiant person that we knew and loved.

After the war she met the man who would be the love of her life, Gino Lanfranchi. Although difficult for her to leave Italy and all her loved ones behind, she followed Gino to Canada in 1955. For the next 60 years, she lived in Harrison Hot Springs where she raised her children and was an active member of the community. Her house was the focal point for the family and she was always proud and excited to host the ever growing family to celebrate milestones in the lives of her children and grandchildren. She was involved in her church and many social groups and took great pride in her participation in these activities. She was caring, compassionate, a friend to all and someone whose warm, welcoming smile will always be remembered.

She is survived by her three children, son Carlo, his wife Janice and sons Paul and Neil, her daughter Elena (Mattson), husband Ross and son Robert and her son Franco, his wife Laura and children Michela and Marco.

She was predeceased by her cherished husband Gino on July 14,1984, brothers Samuele and Anglet, mother Gina and father Remigio.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in memory of Lidia on Friday, October 2 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, Agassiz BC followed by internment at Valley View Cemetery.
