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 fi rst 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.

Th e 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 fi ve hours, the equivalent of one classroom day, will

also be devoted to the new curriculum.

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

Th e training plan was announced with representatives of the B.C. Teachers' Federation, the B.C. School Trustees' Association, s u p e r i n t e n d e n t s , 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 fl exibility for individualized studies. Two areas of emphasis are environmental education and an enhanced aboriginal perspective in every subject.

Curriculum training cuts into teaching time

Th e 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. Th ey 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.

Th e 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.

Th e 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 confl ict 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 non-compliant 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."

Th e other issue is taxation. Van Laerhoven says with industrial and commercial properties taxed diff erently than agricultural land, the space should be used accordingly. By enforcing the zoning, "it levels the playing fi eld for everybody involved."

When asked about the argument that the land was not being actively farmed anyway, Van

Laerhoven said, "Th en 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. Th ere 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. Th ese 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

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. Th eir 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. "Th e idea is to fi nd 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 aft er operatinga business with noissues, in 2013, he wasfaced with a long list ofrequirements that wereexpensive and onerous.Sparkes stated that hemoved his businessto Chilliwack becauseof the fi nancial risk ofstaying in Agassiz.

But according toDistrict staff , Sparkes'application could notbe approved in 2013because his property iszoned for agriculturalrather than commercialuse. According toWallace Mah, DistrictCAO, staff tried towork with Sparkesto fi nd solutions thatwould allow him tolegally operate hisbusiness, including anew type of zoning topermit both residentialand commercial uses.However, Sparkes didnot avail himself to thatopportunity or the morerecent home occupationzoning amendmentopportunity whichincluded sharing thecosts of applicationfees with the fourn e i g h b o u r i n gbusinesses. Instead hechose to move his offi ceportion to Chilliwackand continue operatingthe remainder of hisbusiness illegally andwithout a businesslicense in Agassiz.

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 confi dent that this partnership will provide our students with the necessary skills, abilities, and qualifi cations 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 eff ective 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.

“One of the best things we can do for students is

to blur the lines between the K-12 system and post-secondary system to create opportunities for them to access technical career education as soon as their interests are there. Th is MOU begins to do just that,” he says.

“We are looking forward to working with Fraser-Cascade to make these opportunities real and to watch the vibrant and enthused young minds start university technical programs while in high school.”

New agreement bridges Fraser-Cascade schools and UFV

Seabird looks to cement partnershipsGrowing partnerships.Th at’s been a consistent

message from Chief and Council, and led by various departments within the Seabird Island Band offi ce.

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 Aff airs Director, and Brian Titus, Chief Executive Offi cer of the Sqéwqel Development Corporation.

Th ey attended various study sessions and networking events, and met with as many Provincial Ministers as they could. Th en, 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 fi nd their own way of working together. Th ey’ll fi nd their own dynamics. Each group is challenged in diff erent ways, whether it be geographical or population wise, or physical space between each other,” stated Jay Hope aft er the workshop had been completed. “I think it’s important for people to take advantage of these relationships.

It just doesn’t benefi t one party. It benefi ts both. And to the end, it benefi ts the region and the province as well. Th ose 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 benefi ts and other spin off s 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.

“Th e regular getting-together helps to maintain that relationship. I think we trusted each other before.

I think we trust each other even more now.”

Th e 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. Th e 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.

“Th e 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.”

Th e 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 fi rst-hand account of the success stories.

Floating fi reballs:Council has agreed to ban the

use of fl oating lanterns in the District of Kent.

Th e British Columbia Fire Prevention Offi cers Association (BCFPOA) is looking to ban the use of the lanterns province-wide. According to the report by Agassiz Fire Chief Wayne Dyer, fi re departments across B.C. have responded to calls as a result of fi res caused by fl oating lanterns. Th e lanterns, referred to as wish, sky or wedding lanterns, are set on fi re and sent into the air. Dyer told Council there have been three incidents with the sky lanterns across the province and fi re offi cials would like to see them prohibited in municipalities across the province.

“We look at it as a fl oating fi reball,” said Dyer. “It’s just not safe.”

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

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.

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 non-farm 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.

Th e 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.

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

Th e 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.

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.

Get prepared: 72 hours of emergency readiness

Kent Council: briefly noted


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

Given the past summer of wildfi res, windstorms, fl ash fl oods and more, it’s a wonder this area has avoided catastrophe so far, refl ects 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 fl ooding each Spring which has happened in the past, and other natural events like landslides or wildfi res 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 fi res. He says whether planning for small-scale emergencies like a single house fi re 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.

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

food, water, and medications. Th e 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 large-scale emergencies like an earthquake, Basten and Derek Dubriellak, deputy co-ordinator for the joint emergency program, want to assure the public that local emergency offi cials are ready. Th e joint emergency plan is assessed and updated regularly, offi cials gather to train and play out diff erent scenarios and the Agassiz Fire Hall is built to post-disaster specifi cations which means there should be at least one building standing aft er a major event from which to co-ordinate disaster relief.

Th e emergency team includes BC Ambulance Service, Kent Harrison Search and Rescue, representatives from the agriculture community as well as neighbouring communities, the fi re departments, elected offi cials, administration from both municipalities and RCMP. Th ere 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 Th ursday, Oct. 15, the Great Shakeout takes place. Th is 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. Th e 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. Th e 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 fi nd the site, or go to www2.gov.bc.ca/ and use the search tool on that site for ‘PreparedBC’.

Inner children take over city hall

Sugar tax worth tasting? Th is 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.Th e links between high sugar consumption, obesity and diabetes are well-

known. Th e 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.

Th e 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 off ering your child certain cans of pop, you are eff ectively 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. Th e 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. Th en call up your MP and urge them to do some sweet talking about a sugar tax.

We’re seeing the eff ects of our post-literate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent.

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.” Th at was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-fi rst, inner-child crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly diff erent 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.

Th is year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. Th is 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 defi ne “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.Th ere are many such children,

terrifi ed by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth

and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. Th ey are found in the wealthiest countries in human history, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago.

In the vast, air-conditioned hall

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 fi ddling its diesel fuel emission results.

Th e 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.

Th is 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 environmentI 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. Th ere were 12-15 of them and I challenged them. Th ey were making it a very unsafe

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 wildfi res that kept the families off the streets. It wasn’t until into the month of August that families began coming

out. Th ey 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.

Th ey arrived without much advance warning, theyarrived by the thousands, and the world was notprepared. Th is is a historic exodus of tragic proportion.It does not make sense to ask ourselves "Why?". Onlythe refugees who have arrived will be able to tell theirstory and, over time, a clearer picture will emerge. Fornow it has to be suffi cient to know that nobody willleave everything and endure hardship of all kinds inthe hope of a better life elsewhere without a desperatereason. It happened many times throughout thehistory of mankind, but it is the one we have on handwe must attend to and the world is looking.

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

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

Let's rise up to it and learn as much as we canabout the diff erent parties' ideologies and their beliefsbefore we vote. And vote we must if we want to havea say in our future! I sincerely hope that the youngergenerations, especially, will cast their votes this time -it is their future also that's at stake.

Talking with family and friends about this subjectis not always easy, however. In my family, for instance,you will fi nd two committed Conservatives, one veryalligned New Democrat and a long time Liberal,while the rest is still searching. It makes for toughdiscussions and sometimes sparks fl y.

Luckily, my daughter, Yvonne, always bringsthese moments to an end by declaring: "Let's agreeto disagree!" Personally, I also think that it helps tosee the funny moments during an election campaignand I relate some: Th e Conservatives, trying to givetheir campaign a boost hired a "spin doctor" fromAustralia. He is here now but, in my opinion, hebetter rush back fast since the Australians oustedtheir own Prime Minister since he left . He - the "spindoctor" - has not much confi dence in being able to beof much help here anyhow. It might be too late to turnthe ship around or in his own words: "One cannotfatten-up a sheep on market day". Some changeshave taken place, however, such as the writing on theconservative election signs i.e. "Proven leadership"was changed to "Protect your economy". Isn't this thesame?

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 one-half 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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Art


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

Steves is the new artist-in-residence at the Ranger Station Art Gallery. She arrived just a few days prior to meeting up with Th e 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 diff erent 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 fi gure 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 fi ngers 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.

Th ere’s a uniqueness about fabric not found in other materials, Steves refl ects. It’s tactile. People feel the urge to touch it, to fi nger 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 fi t 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.

Th e Community Recreation & CulturalCentre (CRCC) has been open nearly a yearnow and has more than met expectations forusage since reopening.

Th e 14,000 sq. ft . addition opened inOctober, 2014 and has been well-used sincethen. Monthly usage reports are consistentlyup. For example, the August 2015 statisticsreport registered program revenue is up 56per cent year to year, tickets / passes sales areup 23 per cent and drop in sales are up 17 percent. Overall, the total facility usage is up 33.5per cent comparing 2014 to 2015.

Of course, the expansion came at a price of$2,500,000. As part of fundraising eff orts, atile project was begun for locals to help fi ll thecoff ers of the CRCC pot and leave an imprinton the new building at the same time.

Th e fi rst batch of tiles were installed recentlyat the CRCC. Th e beautiful and varied tileswill be left up permanently, allowing locals achance to leave their mark on this communityin a special way.

When the fi rst tile workshop was off ered lastyear, Sheila Robertson was one of the residentswho decided to take part. Robertson painteda tile to represent the major events that haveshaped her life. Th ere's a barn to illustratebeing born and raised on a dairy farm. Shepainted symbols to represent her long careerin the Royal Canadian Air Force as well as hertime spent abroad in walking groups. Lastly,there is a telephone to represent the 'friendlyphone program'. Th at is a program Robertson

Tile project leaves a legacy

Community

has spearheaded since its inception back in 1997. She and two volunteers spend time each week phoning locals in need of a visit.

Th e tile, she explains, "is sort of my life."

Sylvia and Ted Fecho also painted a tile. Th ey opted for painting one to represent some of the things they enjoy doing in the area like canoeing and biking. Th ey liked the idea of leaving an imprint, and they spend a lot of time at the CRCC. Th ey 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."

Th e Fechos say it was a fun thing to do and urge others to participate - "as long as you don't take it too seriously" to design

and paint the perfect tile, says Ted Fecho.

Th e CRCC is off ering another tile workshop Oct. 3. Th e Community Tile project is an opportunity to paint a ceramic tile to represent your family, your business or your interests. Th e tiles are kiln-fi red and will be installed on the same wall as the fi rst batch of tiles. Recreation supervisor Kimberley Goulet says

they hope to fi ll the wall with tiles. Funds from the Community Tile Project will continue to support the CRCC expansion costs.

Staff from Prism Studio in Chilliwack will be on-hand to guide the project. A 6x6 tile is $50. A 12x12 tile is $90. Th e workshop takes place Saturday, Oct. 3 from 10-2 p.m. Pre-registration is required; for registration information, call 604-796-8891.

Ruby Creek Art Gallery hosts 2nd Annual #NativeArt Gala

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. Th ere 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. Th ere 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. Th is service is nondenominational, and is open to all members of the community.

The community-made tiles were installed recently at the CRCC.

Th e 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 fi ne art, live music, cultural sharing, hors d’oeuvres and wine.

Th e 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 themto smell the cedar as it is being carvedand, through story, to get a glimpseinto the mind of the carver as a pieceof cedar is brought to life. We believethat our Open House event will giveour visitors that holistic experienceand a better understanding of the artpieces that we have on display” statesgallery manager, Mike Bellegarde.

Some of the highlights of theevening that are have planned are:

• Cultural sharing of song anddance by Blake Shaá’koon Lepine(Tlingit)

• Musical Storytelling by ShaneBellegarde (Cree)

• Appetizers and refreshments willbe served

• Performances will begin at6:15PM

LANFRANCHI, LidiaSeptember 9, 1929 – September 23, 2015

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 diffi cult 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.

MINION, Kenneth ArnottFeb. 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 fi ve 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 fl owers, a donation to Ruth and Naomi’s mission would be appreciated.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Zoning Bylaw 1219, Amendment Bylaw No. 1525, 2015

Purpose of the Hearing: The District of Kent is holding a public hearing on the proposed District of Kent Zoning Bylaw 1219, Amendment Bylaw No. 1525, 2015. The main purpose of the amendment bylaw is to formalize the following two authorized commercial uses within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR):

b. at 6690 Key Road, a commercial use for a welding shop established in 1968; since the establishment of the shop was prior to the formation of the ALR, ALC restrictions on the use of agricultural land currently do not apply.

Also, to clarify and list previously approved non-farm-uses in the ALR, the amendment bylaw includes a new Special Conditions of Use section and provides for associated site plans within the Agricultural Zone. The commercial use areas on the above noted properties are identifi ed on site plans within the bylaw amendment.
