Training cuts into teaching time

Photo submitted

B.C. School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff and Education Minister Mike Bernier announce plan to introduce new curriculum to the province’s schools over the next three years. by Tom Fletcher 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 cur-

riculum 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 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 Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), Black Press, Decoda Literacy Solutions and Kootenay Savings Credit Union are partnering to raise funds for literacy programs in the 5th Annual Reach a Reader Campaign.

Cities debate marijuana dispensaries by Tom Fletcher

With medical marijuana dispensaries continuing to open in defiance of federal law, more B.C. communities have joined the call for local

authority to regulate what are often little more than retail pot stores. Lower Mainland communities found majority support at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities

convention to bypass legal wrangling over medical marijuana access, as a court challenge continues against the Conservative government’s strict controls on growing and sell-

Slugs: To the owner of the off-leash Rottweiler coming out of the cemetery in Marysville on Tuesday who didn’t even care or bother to try and call her dog back after it took off after a deer with two fawns, biting at their hind legs as they tried to escape. If you have no control over your dog, at least put it on a leash so it won’t needlessly harass the wildlife! Hopefully your dog won’t chase a deer right into someone’s vehicle someday. Hugs: To a clerk at

Shoppers Drug Mart. I was on my way in to the Post Office to mail letters (only) & she kindly took them for me saving me the long walk. Thank you so very much, (from a Senior). Slugs: To all of those of you who don’t seem to have the energy to walk your dogs but rather, drive them to the quad park, let them run off leash and do their business and then load them back into the car! The “dogs on leash by-laws” within our city apply to everyone and the quad park is not an “off leash park”. I do not enjoy walking my dogs and having to contend with deer, dogs off leash and feces everywhere. Have some consideration for others and respect our bylaws and be a responsible pet owner! Slugs: To people that use media to promote their socialist political views. I would advise people to read 1 John: 22-23 and 4:1-3. Hugs: To the City employees who have taken such great care of the planters and hang-

ing it legally. Maple Ridge Coun. Corisa Bell said other cities are facing the same issues as Vancouver, where about 100 dispensaries have opened in a free-for all with street-level marketing to young people. Vancouver ignored protests from federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose to used authorized sources of medical marijuana, and adopted a licensing system last spring to keep pot shops away from schools, community centres and each other. Vancouver set a licence fee of $30,000 for dispensaries and $1,000 for non-profit “compassion clubs,” with Victoria preparing to follow suit. But other communities don’t have the same revolutionary zeal. Esquimalt Coun. Susan Lowe, whose community banned the pipe-headed mascot “Bongy” from hawking wares of a marijuana paraphernalia store in 2013, said she isn’t qualified to regulate medical pot. The Lower Mainland proposal also doesn’t prevent a patchwork of different rules in adjoining communities, Lowe said.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the latest resolution seems intended to stick to municipal authority over location and zoning, but it doesn’t say so explicitly, and the UBCM loses credibility when it wanders outside its mandate. Port Alberni Coun. Jack McLeman said he supports the twoyear-old UBCM endorsement of legalizing pot, although his drug of choice for pain is Scotch whisky. He said his council has been approached about medical dispensaries, and invited applications, but no one followed through. “Just legalize the junk,” McLeman said. “Don’t tell me it’s your aspirin.” Maple Ridge Coun. Craig Speirs drew laughter from delegates when he said there was “some consternation” when his city’s first dispensary opened, “but it’s proved to have a calming effect on the neighbourhood.” The motion to support municipal control over pot stores passed in a show of hands, with about one third of those attending opposed.

Libertarian candidate drops out of race

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Christina Yahn. Libertarian candidate Christina Yahn has withdrawn from the race for member of Parliament for the Kootenay-Columbia federal riding. “Due to personal reasons, I regret to

announce my resignation as a candidate for the 2015 election,” she said in an email this morning. “I wish the best to fellow candidates and I look forward to future political endeavours when I am

www.kootenayadvertiser.com 5 able to participate.” Yahn was one of more than 80 Libertarian Party candidates across the country. “The mission of the Libertarian Party of Canada is to reduce the responsibilities and expense of government,” says www.libertarian.ca. “This, so that we may each manage our lives to mutually fulfill our needs by the free and voluntary exchange of our efforts and property for the value that best realizes our happiness.” The Nelson resident had participated in the Kootenay-Columbia Black Press Q&A to explain her party’s viewpoints on regional issues (Parts 1, 2 and 3). “I appreciate being included in the Q&A series thus far to offer the perspective of liberty,” she said.

Dynamiters supporting Starlite The Kimberley Dynamiters Hockey Club is gearing up to once again support the East Kootenay Foundation for Health and its annual Starlite Campaign. During the month of October the team is hosting a fundraiser at each home game by auctioning off players’ one of kind jerseys in support of breast cancer. The funds raised from the popular event will also help to light a star atop the East Kootenay Regional Hospital when the Starlite Campaign launches at the end of November. “Several years ago we had a very successful jersey fundraiser with EKFH and the digital mammography campaign. That donation

made a big difference to people with a breast cancer diagnosis so we wanted to help again this year,” shares Dynamiters President Chad Koran. Funds raised from the month long events will go to EKFH and be dedicated toward helping with the purchase of a sentinel node biopsy probe. The concept of the sentinel lymph node is important because of the advent of the sentinel lymph node biopsy technique, also known as a sentinel node procedure. This technique is used in the staging of certain types of cancer to see if they have spread to any lymph nodes, since lymph node metastasis is one of the most important prognostic

signs. It can also guide the surgeon to the appropriate therapy. The team worn jerseys will be up for auction and bidding will take place at all of the home games in October. The bidding will close at the 10:00 minute mark of the third period at the October 25th game when the Dynamiters take on the Chase Heat at 2:00 pm. Make sure that you get your bids in for your chance

to win your favorite jersey and support a great cause! For more information on the Kimberley Dynamiters visit www. kimberleydynamiters. net.

The Weekend View

Letter: An open letter to David Wilks Mr. Wilks, you are running for re-election as MP for KootenayColumbia. I would like your constituents to know that you are not a fit person for the job. Over the past four years, you have shown that you are more concerned with following orders from the Prime Minister’s Office than acting on behalf of your constituents. One example of your

failure to do the right thing concerns Flying Officer David Dakin DFC, a decorated veteran of World War II who flew 35 missions over Germany and occupied Europe while serving with Bomber Command in England. Dave Dakin was one of 40,000 young Canadians who flew in Bomber Command operations – 9,919 of whom died in action.

Meet the teachers at MBSS open house Mount Baker Secondary School and

With skill, bravery and good luck, Flying Officer Dakin survived. Bomber Command came under heavy criticism post-war because of the many German civilian casualties caused by the bombing. It is true that civilian lives were lost, but it is also true that the effectiveness of the bombing attacks on German industry shortened the war, thus saving many lives. Nonetheless, the controversy left many Bomber Command veterans feeling ostracized and abandoned.

They were bitter that their role in the successful outcome of the war was ignored, indeed censured. Then in June 2012, the British government decided to give a long-overdue special award to British survivors of Bomber Command. The Harper government decided to follow suit in Canada. To my great distress, however, your government made no particular effort to get this new military award to the surviving veterans – most of them aged 85 to 95 – before they

died. Which brings me back to my friend Dave Dakin and you, Mr. Wilks. In July 2012 I wrote to you about Dave, then aged 90, a constituent of yours living in Kimberley. I asked you to act quickly to get the new Bomber Command award to him. Over the next 15 months I made 13 contacts with you and various Conservative cabinet ministers to no avail. I finally made a special plea to you to do something personally to ensure that

Dave received official notice of his award before he died. Soon after this, Dave was in Cranbrook hospital diagnosed with lung cancer. You could have done something, despite the lack of action by the Ministers of National Defence and Veterans Affairs. You could have visited Dave in hospital, or phoned him, or sent him a card. You chose to do nothing. Dave died in hospital in 2013, two days before his 92nd birthday, still unrecognized for his valour as a

Canadian veteran of Bomber Command. Some time after Dave’s death, the government put his award in an envelope and mailed it to his family. The callous attitude of you and your government toward our veterans does not bode well for the people of this riding, Mr. Wilks. You are not a fit person to be our Member of Parliament. ~Peter Moody, MB Kimberley

A proper smoke alarm system could save your family In the case of a night-time fire, where you put your smoke alarm is the main factor that determines whether you’ll be able to get out of the house in time. This year’s Fire Prevention Week takes place October 4-10,

and the slogan is Hear the Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm. The sponsor, the National Fire Prevention Association, wants everybody to remember that getting out fast is what saves lives. In many home fires, it’s the smoke and fumes that kill first. The NFPA says a house fire can turn deadly in three minutes; that doesn’t give you much time to notice smoke, get up and get out. Don’t forget to make sure every resident of the house knows how to open the window in their bedroom so they can escape the smoke and flames. Here are some other smoke alarm messages from the NFPA: • Install smoke alarms on every level of the house, including the basement and garage.

• If possible, link all the smoke alarms with a wiring system so that when one goes off to alert you, they all do. • Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. • Replace even problem-free smoke alarms at least every ten years. • Review with each resident of the house what to do when they hear the smoke alarm. • Make sure they all know the fastest route outside and where to meet in case of an evacuation. • Don’t linger in the house to call the fire department; dial 911 from outside the home. Fire Extinguisher: In case your smoke alarm rings, of course you should evacuate your home as soon as possible. However, there are many cases when a porrtable fire extinguisher can come in handy.

The Kimberley Nordic Club (KNC) is gearing up for another great ski season! Let the snow fall! “Well not quite yet,” says President, Derm Kennedy “ not until early November if we are lucky and we usually are. The fact is, not much snow is needed to start skiing given our grooming equipment and compact, sawdust covered trails.” The KNC Executive is optimistic it will be another great ski year. Last year was proof enough given the limited snow but yet great Nordic ski conditions enjoyed by most for both classic and skating techniques. Trails are being prepped, fire-wood supply is in, parking has been improved, new signage is in the works, staff are being hired.... Changes this year prove the club is ‘keeping up with the times’ as memberships can now be purchased (at last year’s prices!!!!) through a variety of ways. People can purchase online by clicking the Zone 4 link on the KNC website (kimberleynordic. org) As well, they will be accepting cash, cheques and (new this year) Credit/Debit cards at the kiosk. Any memberships purchased before Oct. 19 will be eligible to win some great draw prizes including a free membership! Organizers of the Jackrabbit program for kids and Masters Program for adults are busy planning. New this year will be lessons for beginner adults - yes, if you have never been on skis before but want to try it, this is the year! Again this year there will be ‘demo’ days where by local businesses give people a chance to try out brand new modern ski gear at NO COST. Mark your calendars now for the annual New Year’s Eve Candle-light Ski Event, Kootenay Cup Races Jan. 2 & 3 and the very popular Gourmet Ski Event Feb. 13, 2016 Everyone is invited to the upcoming KNC Annual General Meeting being held Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. at the Nordic Center.

Dignitaries, students and residents gathered for the 5th Celebration for Peace.

Another great Peace Celebration The 5th Annual Celebration for Peace went off without a hitch, albeit was a very windy afternoon which kept some of the International Students from the College busy ‘catching’ and ‘re-attaching’ the ‘flags of the world’ as the breeze whipped them from the decorating streamers. The Color Guard may have been smaller this year but all the words for peace were so meaningful. It was especially refreashing to hear Katie Grady’s comments and to know that she went to the effort to interview some of her peers. Well done !!! All of the prayers

were excellent; we thank Sargent Linda Green for the Opening Prayer, Pastor Gordon Henry for the Closing

Prayer, and Ifti Sumra for the Prayer for Mankind. We were especially honored to have Ifti participate

December is on the horizon and so the time has come to start planning your holiday festivities. This year, make a pledge that you won’t leave things until the last minute. Who needs the headache of harried scrambling to busy grocery stores or battling the crowds at the bigbox stores? Preparing early will help you organize a truly unforgettable event, whether it’s for work colleagues, friends, or family members. Start by considering whether you want to host a party at home or dine out. Fix the date and reserve a restaurant or caterer as early as possible. After all, you don’t want to be one of those disorganized people who have to settle for a less-than-ideal place just because it’s one of the few still available. Then, if you have a large enough budget, find a DJ to provide the music for your event. Your guests will have lots of fun on the dance floor to the sound of today’s hits as well as their very own special requests. Karaoke is always a popular entertainment

option as well. Once you’ve settled all those details, let your imagination run riot and think up ways to add some magic to your party. Plan an evening that will appeal to the majority of your guests, one that will require some amusing involvement on their part. Even the most dignified of people can let their hair down with some well-planned party games. If you really want to impress your guests, bring in a specialist to decorate your home or reception room in a tasteful holiday style. Don’t forget that their first impression as they enter the room is often what people remember most. If all this organization seems a little overwhelming and time-consuming to you, you could always hire a professional party planner, an increasingly popular service for busy people. Be sure to phone around early if you want to get the best!

Ernest Billey May 23rd, 1933 - September 28th, 2015 It is with profound sadness that the family of Ernest “Ernie” Billey announce his passing in the early morning hours of September 28th, 2015. Ernie was surrounded by family who loved him deeply and were there to assist him in his peaceful transition to be with the Lord. Ernie was born in Desjarlais, Alberta and joined his large family on the farm which gave him ample opportunity to develop his incredible mechanical abilities early. He was a man who loved deeply, was loyal and always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed a handyman. Ernie truly enjoyed the challenge of fixing anything that had moving parts. It was common to hear the comment “if Ernie can’t fix it – no one can.” Ernie was a devoted family man. He loved his family and enjoyed any and all family gatherings. One of his enjoyments was showing off his BBQ skills by serving up perfectly seasoned and cooked steaks or prime rib. He was a simple man not needing a lot, but he never stopped giving. Ernie leaves to mourn his loss his wife Sharron of 56 years, 3 daughters, Brenda Goodspeed, Amber (Charlie) Scarborough & Crystal Billey, 1 son, Farren (Meskerem) Billey, 3 granddaughters, Ashley (Mike) Buczkowski, Saladayne Billey & Breann Billey, 3 grandsons, Jared Peterson, Matthew Scarborough & Tristan (Jenn) Peterson, 1 great grandson, Theron Peterson, 1 great granddaughter, Quinn Buczkowski, 3 sisters, Teresa Edinger, Marlys (Clifford) Sluggett, Stella (Howard) Ness, several brothersin-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces, nephews and their families. Ernie was predeceased by his first wife (Ruth), his parents, George & Mary, his stepfather, Mike Kilarowski, his grandparents, 5 brothers, Bill, Steave, Andy, Ed & John, 2 sisters, Lucy and an infant (un-named) sister. A memorial service for Ernie will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook on Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 at 2:00 pm. He will be interred in Westlawn Cemetery. Please join the family back at McPherson’s after the interment for a lunch and fellowship. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ernie’s honour to the charity of your choice.

Duncan Roderick Robertson (December 9, 1931 – September 27, 2015) It is with great sadness that the family of Duncan Roderick Robertson announces his passing, in the early morning hours of Sunday, September 27th, 2015. Duncan fought bravely against the ravages of bladder cancer and inspired us all with his unfailing optimism and courage. Duncan was born in 1931, the youngest of five, in ‘The Gulch’ in Trail BC. He spent his childhood roaming the West Kootenay hills in search of fish and huckleberries. At the age of 16, he took advantage of an opportunity to work at Cominco, becoming a skilled machinist and earning the nickname ‘Doc’. His 42 year tenure at Cominco started in Trail, led him to Riondel, and ended in Kimberley. A seemingly confirmed bachelor, Duncan had his share of Kootenay adventures, from helping to build the golf course in Riondel to racing cars in Spokane. Bachelorhood ended when Duncan met Anne Scott. They married in 1968 and together raised two boys, Ross and David. Duncan was a dedicated father, enduring AC/DC on hunting trips and travelling to every hockey rink in Western Canada. After Duncan’s retirement in 1993, he and Anne delighted in taking trips and becoming grandparents, cherishing their time with Megan and Jamie every Friday. After Anne’s passing in 2005, Duncan continued to enjoy golf and curling, including a memorable eight-ender and several runs at the BC Seniors’ curling championships. Duncan relished his role as head baby whisperer, when Skye and Kirk arrived on the scene. In the last couple of years, Duncan found love again with his fiancée, Goldie Pedersen. Duncan and Goldie enjoyed many trips to the West Kootenay as well as seniors’ bowling, where Duncan parlayed his curling skills into the ‘rookie of the year’ bowling award, at the tender age of 82. Duncan was predeceased by his wife, Anne, his siblings, Connie, Isobel, and Doug, and his infant grandson, Ewan. He is survived by his sister, Dorothy (Chuck), his sons, Ross (Lynnette) and David (Laura), his grandchildren, Megan, Jamie, Skye, and Kirk, and his fiancée, Goldie Pedersen. The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Clay and the homecare staff for helping Duncan to stay at home as long as possible and to the staff at The Pines for ensuring that his final days were as comfortable as possible. In keeping with Duncan’s wishes, there will not be a funeral. Instead, there will be a celebration of life come and go tea, on Saturday October 3, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, at the Kimberley Curling Club. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society Financial Support Program at www.cancer.ca or #19-9th Ave. S., Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2L9.

In Memoriam

Fennessy - Magdalene (Meg) May 5, 1930-October 3, 2005 Ten years have passed since that sad day when the one we loved was called away. God took her home, it was His will, Loving wife & mother. Long days, long nights she bore her pain to await a cure but all in vain. God knew what was best, He took her home and gave her rest. It broke our hearts to see her go, but she did not go alone, for part of us went with her the day God called her home. Still missed & loved.

The family, Robert (Pat), Brenda, Kalvaleen, Karen, Kevin & 6 grand children and 4 great grandchildren

choirs, groups—certainly a lively and entertaining afternoon was enjoyed by all. We had a very special treat this year. Chief Jim Whithead joined Doug Mitchell for a couple of songs. A huge thank you to Chief Jim Whitehead for being part of the celebration. How does one find words to convey the beauty of Jacqueline Henry’s interpretive dance to Song For Canada? The dance is so spiritual, almost angelic, that you find yourself holding your breath. Some of the comments received about the Celebration for Peace were: “we need to have more celebrations like this”; it would be wonderful to have at least two celebrations for peace every year”; this celebration is so uplifting, you leave feeling so good inside”. I’m sure all of us attending felt very much like the preceeding comments. Our Organizing Committee wishes to sincerely thank

10 neat things...daffodils sap in daffodils can also be harmful to other flowers. When you cut daffodils to use in the house, it is best to keep them on their own. When arranging them in a vase, do not mix them with other flowers unless the daffodils have been soaking in water for 24 hours. Do not recut the stems as it will re-release the toxin. 5. A Gift of Happiness. It is no wonder that with their cheerful yellow, white or even pink blooms, a gift of daffodils is said to ensure happiness. Remember, however, to always present them in a bunch. The same legend states that while these cheerful flowers will bring good fortune, when given as a single bloom, a daffodil can foretell misfortune instead. 6. Happiness Can’t Wait! In the Chinese tradition, daffodils are connected with good fortune as well. Ancient Chinese legends tell of daffodils bearing cups of gold for the poor but kind. Another legend has it that if a daffodil bulb is forced to bloom during the New Year, it will bring good luck to your home. 7. Hail the National Flower. Daffodils are a part of the national emblem of Wales and it is a custom to wear a daffodil on St. David’s Day in March. The Welsh name for daffodil is cennin Pedr, literally translated as “Peter’s Leeks”. And in fact, the leek is the

1. What’s in a Name? We commonly refer to flowers of the narcissus variety as daffodils, but are all narcissus daffodils? The American daffodil society claims that all narcissus are daffodils and vice versa. They prefer the term daffodil for all but scientific uses. Other names for daffodils include paperwhites, jonquils and ‘Poet’s Hower’. 2. Greek Origins. The name narcissus is linked to a figure in Greek mythology with the same name. He was said to have been so entranced with his reflection in a pool of water that eventually he fell in and drowned. The first daffodil sprang up from the spot. A more scientific root of the word narcissus is also linked to Greek. It’s stem is the word narke which means ‘to grow numb’ and refers to the effect a narcotic compound in the plant will have when ingested. 3. A Bitter Taste. Not only humans do not appreciate, lycorine, the toxic content of daffodils. Ingested in large quantities it can be fatal. This is the reason squirrels and other rodents will leave the bulbs alone in the ground and deer turn their noses once the friendly flowers start to sprout and bloom in the spring. 4. Keep to Yourself! The toxic

other official plant of Wales. 8. Message of Hope. In Canada, the daffodil has served as a symbol of cancer awareness since the 1950 and it is the logo of the Canadian Cancer Society. At fundraising teas at the time, volunteers would decorate tables with daffodils, hoping it would create the feeling of hope that cancer can be beaten. Today, April is Daffodil month and the Society is the world’s largest purchaser of daffodils for its fundraising campaign. 9. It’s What’s Under the Ground. After you plant daffodil bulbs in your garden, there is a good chance they will increase their numbers from year to year. This is mostly due to bulb division, but daffodils can set seed as well. This is less common as daffodils don’t always get pollinated and when you do get seed, they will take a good five years to produce a blooming plant. 10. Not Just a One Colour Wonder. Yellow is the first colour that will come to mind when talking daffodils, but there are now a host of other colours and more being added every year. There are also many shapes, from single to double-blooming and split cup (butterfly) daffodils. A gorgeous novelty variety is ‘Vanilla Peach’. This butterfly narcissus has soft yellow petals with a coral coloured split cup in the middle.

Joseph Creek Village and Golden Life Annual Silver Fox Run Joseph Creek Village and Golden Life held the annual Silver Fox Run on September 18 to raise funds for the Terry Fox Foundation. At least one resident has participated in the either the Terry Fox Run or the Silver Fox Run for the past 30 years. Residents took either a 2.5 kilometre walk or a 0.5 kilometre walk and were treated to the sounds of local band Out On A Limb and a barbecue. A silent auction rounded out the day’s activities.

Thank you to Pharmasave for the barbecue.
