Country music was king in Cranbrook, Sunday, Sept. 27, as Paul Brandt (left) and Dean Brody brought their Road Trip tour to Western Financial Place. Lindi Ortega (right) opened up the show and guested with Brody during his set. Brandt and Brody are alternating the closing spot from show to show during their tour, and Brody — hometown boy from Jaffray — of course got the closing spot in Cranbrook. See later this week in the Daily Townsman for review and special photo feature.
Libertarian candidate quits campaign Schools head into uncharted BARRY COULTER
And then there were four. Christina Yahn, Libertarian candidate in Kootenay-Columbia for the upcoming federal election, announced her resignation from the race early Sunday morning in an email letter to Kootenay Black Press editors. “Due to personal reasons, I regret to announce
my resignation as a candidate for the 2015 election,” Yahn wrote. “I wish the best to fellow candidates and I look forward to future political endeavours when I am able to participate. “I appreciate being included in the Q&A series thus far to offer the perspective of liberty.” Yahn’s resignation leaves
Bill Green of the Green Party, Don Johnston of the Liberals, Wayne Stetski of the NDP and incumbent MP David Wilks of the Conservatives to contest the election, with just over three weeks remaining in the campaign. Our Black Press Q&A continues (Part IV) with those four candidates on Page 5.

waters with new curriculum TRE VOR CR AWLEY
CHRISTINA YAHN
The province and teachers’ union are partnering up for the a support plan to implement a new curriculum in B.C. schools. The new curriculum, unveiled at the beginning of September, maps out what teachers teach and what students are expected to learn.
While it focuses on the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic the new curriculum teaches them in a way that students also learn the collaboration, critical thinking, and communications skills needed to succeed after high school.
