The fate of the Rossland Mountain Market is known at last and the news is good. The city’s much loved market will start again later next month, but will be relocated. The con-struction on Columbia Avenue, which will be going on all sum-

mer forced the move.Rachael Roussin, who helps

organize the market said that it was just a matter of working the details out with the city.

During the summer, the market will run every Thurs-day from 3:30 p.m. until 6 p.m.

“We’re hoping to keep the identical format. same vendor prices, music, kid’s activities, we’re even trying to do more of

that,” Roussin said. “The only thing that’s changing is the lo-cation.”

She said that the task of find-ing a location has not been easy.

“There were a million con-sidered,” she said. “It was really hard to relocate the market be-cause, as most locals know, it’s taken awhile to get the market established.”

She attributes much of that success to the downtown loca-tion that the city allows Ross-land Real Foods to run the market on, between the credit union and Rossvegas.

She said the difficulty is try-ing to find a suitable location outside of the downtown that would have the same charm and presence.

Other locations that were

considered were places like Spokane Street between First and Columbia, but that didn’t work because of future traffic rerouting. The Cooke Avenue ball diamond was an option, but that was too far out of town. Another was the Emcon lot or the Shovel parking lot or the area behind the arena, but

they were dis-missed because of

the longer walk from downtown as well as the heat.“One thing we’ve come to realize is that when the surface that

the market sits on is gravel, on a hot summer day with wind, it can get very dusty, which isn’t very sanitary for food or nice for clothing and other artisan wears,” she explained.

Another possible location they almost went with was the area right behind Golden City Day Care, which she said was a great location and very central.

There was also the possibility of including the day care. But the spot turned out to be too dusty and hot and would have cost too much to fix up, as the market doesn’t have the capacity to resurface an area for just the season, she said.

“The location between the fire hall and the church with the

red roof is ideal in that it’s scenic, it’s clean, it’s almost central and traffic is going to be increased on First due to the downtown renovation,” she said. “Basically, Rossland Real Food is going to go full ahead with the market this summer and we hope that it’s extremely successful.”

They welcome new vendors, as always and the cost for ven-dors will remain the same, with the rules that govern the mar-ket: “Make it, bake it, grow it, with a few exceptions.”

Roussin said they are hoping to have secured a grant from the Kootenay Columbia Culture Alliance as well, which would allow them to have five music days. They would pay musicians to come and play music at the market.

“We’re also hoping to partner with the Rossland Library, so that we can do reading times at the farmer’s market,” she said. “We feel that would be a nice summertime activity for kids, and

it’s also a model that other farmer’s markets in the province haveused.”

She said the market is definitely a summer highlight for thecommunity and plead to Rosslanders not to “forget to walk theone block up to First Avenue,” to get fresh carrots, cupcakes and other goods.

The first date will be Thursday June 28, and they hope to gountil Oct. 24, the same schedule as last year. They usually start the last Thursday in June because that’s when farmers start tohave their crops.

A favourite from last year, Mad Dog Farms, will be back atthe market this year. They are organic farmers from the Castle-gar area who usually bring honey and organic produce.

Unfortunately, the other favourite Centre Road Farms won’tbe coming back because they are not farming this year.

Construction will limit parking this week This is the third installment of a weekly update column courtesy of

Coun. Jody Blomme, a member of the city’s Columbia Task Force. Starting today, there will be no parking on either side of Colum-

bia from St Paul to Washington. The sewer main will be run to Washington, then water will be

installed from Washington back to St Paul and, next, storm pipeswill be run back to Washington. This process will take approxi-mately three weeks.

Parking has been established on the private property at the cor-ner of Spokane and Columbia. The new lot behind Rossland Hard-ware will have painted parking stalls by the end of this week. Wehave also come to an agreement with the property owner of theland behind the Post Office and will be digging to see how much can be used for parking. The section of Queen north of Colum-bia, up the hill, is now available for angle parking and lines will bepainted in the coming few days. The result of these additions willbe at least the equivalent to lost parking on Columbia, so pleasecontinue to support your downtown stores and services.

Every effort is being made to allow for parking in front of indi-vidual businesses. It cannot be stressed enough that Columbia Aveis a work site as well as a highway. Safety has to prioritize higherthan parking.

St. Paul intersection should be back to operation by this mid-week and traffic will again be able to flow up St. Paul and East onColumbia.

Please call 250 512 1641 with all your technical questions.Please contact the Communications task force at [email protected] with any concerns, complaints or suggestions.We are working hard to address issues as soon as they come to our attention.

Crews work to replace the piping under Columbia Avenue yesterday afternoon. Parking will again be further affected along Columbia and traffic rerouted this week.

Mayor Greg Granstrom participated in the inaugural B.C. Mayors’ Caucus happening in Penticton from May 16 to 18. Organized by a steering committee comprised of nine may-ors from across B.C., more than 80 mayors from each corner of the province were in attendance, where topics on the agenda including: A News Deal for BC Communi-ties; Building B.C.’s Economy; and Moving Forward.

This June marks an extra special occasion for grads as they are the 60th grad class to come out of Rossland Secondary School.

To mark the school’s 60th birthday, the Parent Advisory Com-mittee for RSS has put together a birthday celebration of sorts.

Diana Wilkes, a member of the committee, said they are cur-rently looking for memorabilia that they could put on display for the event on June 1.

Wilkes has grad picturse, yearbook photos, but welcomes more items. The open house will run from noon to 2:30 p.m. on Friday, June 1 at the school.

Wilkes said they wants to get the word out to the graduating class of 1951-52, as well as others who graded in the 50s.

She said that the idea came about as a result of all the nega-tive things the school has been going through, with possibilies of closure or reconfiguration.

“We came up with the idea of why don’t we do a birthday party for the school?” Wilkes said.

PAC is ordering three cakes for the celebration, with photos on top of the grad classes of 1951-52 and 2011-12.

Wilkes has scanned some of the yearbooks, which have mes-sages that the grads wrote at the time.

Have the messages changed over time?“They’re really not much different than today,” she said, add-

ing that they talk about plans to go to university or work, what their pet peeves were and of course sports.

“Skiing was big back then, as it is now, lots of discussion around being a skiing community.”

The grad class back then was also smaller than this year’s class. She said they’ve had both small and large classes over the years and been all over the map.

The open house is a chance for anyone in the community or in the area to come out and celebrate the highschool being in the community for 60 years.

Neighbourhood of Learning will also be there with an infor-

mation table, to answer any questions people might have about the committee and what they are doing to preserve education inthe community.

The open house is Friday, June 1, from noon to 2:30 p.m. at RSS.

To submit items for the display, contact Audrey Doell at 362-5522.

Stinging Nettles: Urtica urens dioica and gracilisLast weekend found me and my family bik-

ing from upper Rossland down to Redstone for lunch and continuing down the wagon road to Warfield. Along the way we stopped just be-fore a muddy patch to discover a good stash of Stinging Nettles, which are now young, ripe and ready for harvesting.

Just to make sure it was indeed this green ally, I took a close look to view the fine hairs that poke out on the stems and leaves. Out of curiosity my son asked if they are edible. I re-plied yes, Stinging Nettles are, but before I fin-ish explaining he’s already put the leaf onto his tongue.

He quickly discovered why they are called Stinging Nettles. I told him not to worry, the stinging will pass.

My grandparents of Europe remember the elderly running through fields in the forests of Czech Republic purposely barelegged to stimulate circulation and to alleviate medical conditions. I clasped the plant in my hand as the tiny hairs sting my fingers and I envision the medicinal properties moving through and

into my well being. The little hairs or bristles are hollow, and act

as “hypodermic needles” that contain formic acid.

This can be prevented if you harvest wearing leather gloves or by carefully picking the stalks with your thumb and forefingers. Make sure the stinging nettle is properly identified before harvesting and note that some people may re-act to this plant.

I neither claim to be plant expert nor a for-malized herbalist.

The morning and evening times are best be-fore the blazing heat, always collect them dry, the younger the plant the more tender they are.

Stinging Nettles are one of the most valu-able of our neglected herbs, for they contain such health-giving salts. Boiled as spinach they afford excellent green food during the early spring, when other green vegetable are scarce in the garden.

Urtica: uro (Greek) means urine (in Latin) urens is stinging, burning. Gracilis translates to “slender, graceful.’ This plant is a tonic for the adrenals and kidneys. Throughout Europe and North America are many more useful species of Urtica.

There are too many uses to list with this plant in one column but to brief Nettles may

have been cultivated in Mexico as early as 8,000 years ago; the fiber is used in paper pulp and spun and woven into strong thread. Dye in various shades of green are derived as well as in prepared hair lotions, tonics, tinctures, teas, juice, compost activator, insecticides, soups, quiches and beer.

Nettle leaves and stalks can be used as an

everyday nourisher, the fresh young leaves arean excellent source of minerals, vitamins andamino acids, protein building blocks.

Stinging Nettle Fun Fact: The Tibetan Bud-dhist Saint Milarepa, student of the great trans-lator Marpa, lived exclusively on nettles in hisretreat: and it is said that he became both greenand enlightened.

The Rossland Historical Museum opened for the season on May 19, and will be showcasing new exhibits on the Farms and Gardens of Ross-land.

Did you know there were 13 dair-ies supplying products to the City of Rossland during the gold mining days.

The Chinese Gardens, located in lower Rossland, provided the veg-etables for the town.

Rossland was on the 100 Mile Diet long before that diet became popu-lar.

Photos and maps from the early years highlight how much gardening

and farming was being done in this mountain city.

Museum Day will take place this year on Saturday, June 2nd from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. and will also focus on the farms and gardens of Rossland’s past.

Activities include a fish pond, rock painting, sunflower planting and gold panning!

Guided site tours, a Bear Aware display, Rossland Real Food’s dis-play and plant sale as well as Music in the Museum will make for a fun time. Food – hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and juice will be available and admission is by donation to the Museum.

Visit your Museum – you may just pick up some tips for your own gar-den.

Despite the woes that the construction may be bringing to Rossland, there are still a lot of things which are coming up to do in this town.

For those intersested in learning more about chickens and how to raise them in your backyard, the chicken crawl may be just for you.

If chickens aren’t your thing, you could listen to Rossland composer Karl Meinhardt next week. The interesting tones that come from the various woods that his instrument is made from are definitely worth a listen.

If history is your thing, then Rossland Sec-ondary having its 60th anniversary may be of interest to you, especially if you are one of the original graduating class.

It could also be a good time to begin train-ing for the Christina Lake Triathlon, which would make a great beginners triathlon, but the competition will challenge even the stron-ger competitors.

There’s also the option of local sports like the obvious mountain biking and hiking trails, to tennis, which is great to play as the weather becomes warmer.

The museum will also be having their Fam-ily Fun Day which will highlight their new ex-hibit on the farming heritage of Rossland.

So with the post skiing blues now passed, it’s time to embrace the season and get out to the events of Rossland and area.

season!

100 Years Ago:May 1912

Around the CityDaniel Rowe, who fell down a shaft in the Centre

Star, two weeks since and sustained bodily injuries, is convalescing in a satisfactory way, and will not be an inmate of the hospital, where he was taken at the time of the injury, for any great length of time.

***Lyman Carter, manager of the Blue Bird , reports

that the shares of the Blue Bird are now selling in Spokane for 25 cents.

***Grand Ball (to be held) at the Armory, under the

auspices of the Rossland City Band. Tickets $1.***

Wallace, one of the largest dogs in town, was run over by an ore train and killed. Wallace was 15 years old, and with age came poor sight and deaf-ness, and this accounts for his being run over, as he evidently did not see or hear the train that caused his death.

The Columbia River BridgeThe bridge, which will span the Columbia river,

at Trail, is rapidly approaching completion. Three of the spans are in position, and the fourth will be in place in a week. Then the approaches will be made, and in two weeks the structure should be open for traffic.

In the old days, crossing the river was accom-plished by a ferry (which was) a large scow attached to a cable, and when crossing, the forward end was headed up stream at an angle of about 45 degrees and the current supplied the motive power.

75 Years Ago:May 1937

Rossland Pays Homage to Their Majesties Coronation Ceremony

A Union Jack waved proudly from the roof of the festooned court house as (hundreds of) citi-zens stood in massed formation on the street be-low to pay homage to the King and Queen. ...The ceremony was a deeply impressive demonstration of loyalty and fidelity to the newly crowned mon-archs.

Fireworks Greatest SpectacleIt was a happy thought on the part of the Coro-

nation Celebration Committee when the idea of fireworks was acted upon.

For forty minutes the huge throng of two thou-sand or more persons, which encircled the ball park, watched with audible interest the bursting of the bombs, the brilliant light of the flares, the mag-nificent colouring of the exploded rockets, and the spectacle of the rotating wheels.

Huge Beacon Shines from Mountain TopRossland’s beacon, constructed by boy scouts,

shone like a kingly crown from the side of Co-lumbia Kootenay mountain as a fitting climax to celebrations.

The huge fire, considered by many to be the larg-est ever built by local scouts, could be seen from any part of the local district and observers stated that it was very clear from Trail. All across Canada similar beacons burned on Coronation night.

Reception for Msgr. McIntyre – Silver Jubilee of Rossland Priest’s Ordination

People from all parts of the Kootenays and every strata of life will congregate at the parish hall for a public reception.

It is of special interest for Rossland because “Fa-ther” McIntyre, as he is familiarly known... has served this community for the entire twenty-five years of his priesthood.

Rossland Secondary’s girls se-nior soccer team captured the Koo-tenay High School tournament last week. The team went undefeated at the tournament, which took place at the Rossland school’s field last Wednesday.

The eight team tournament finished with third place going to

Kimberley and second to Nakusp.The win allows the RSS team to

compete in the British Columbia Single A provincials in Kelowna.

Coach Rick McKinnon said that with six Grade 12 girls on the team and the tournament only a week before their grad, it shows their commitment and hard work is first and foremost in their quest for continued success, both in and out of school. Many of the girls on the team were also members of either

or both the West Kootenay cham-pionship field hockey team, andthe West Kootenay championshipbasketball team.

McKinnon added that with anyluck, the team’s hard work and tal-ent may land them a great showingat the provincial soccer champion-ship.

He said getting gold would bethe pinnacle of success for the girls,many of whom are in their last yearof high school.

Above, opposing team members looks on as the ball narrowly missed the mark during last Wednesday’s match. Rossland beat out all the other teams in the tournament to get a place in the Single A provincials.

Local composer Roland Bryce AKA Karl Meinhardt will premier his new composition next Saturday at the Miners’ Hall. Submitted photos

The pleasant sounds of wooden marimbas made from Canadian Cedar will fill the Rossland Miners’ Hall June 2. The marimba will be joined by flute and world instruments when Rossland local Karl Meinhardt presents a compilation of his new work inspired by na-ture.

The man behind Meinhardt is Roland Bryce. Bryce is originally from the UK and uses the name as a composer pen name.

As Meinhardt, he has entertained audiences to critical acclaim in Europe and beyond for the last 30 years, now settling in Ross-land. Next Saturday he will perform two new musical compositions, ‘Whistler Suite’ and ‘Septenary’ that use musical technology to take the audience on a sonic journey.

‘Whistler Suite’ was completed in 2011, inspired by the beauty of the B.C. forests, which uses a Canadian Marimba made from the in-digenous B.C. timbers of Cedar, Pine and Maple.

“Whistler suite started off life as a sort of sound design experiment. Sound design is when you take sounds and you create your own sounds,” Bryce explained at his home studio in Rossland. “I used Ca-nadian wood and basically engineered. I thought, rather than have an African marimba, why not have a Canadian marimba.”

Bryce said that after the concert, the audience will never think of a two by one board the same again.

“I literally just took two by ones and carved them this shape,” he said, adding that you can find the point where the resonance hap-pens and actually feel the vibration happen.

He said it started from the idea of having a massive sort of array of bars or wood tones.

“I made them all when I was in the UK, it took me about three or four months to make them,” he said. “I wanted to make an actual in-strument you could play, but it was just too expensive, like $25,000.” So he started out by sampling them.

He then uses a computer program called Logic to play them back. He demonstrated the different notes that the different types of wood make.

“So the different pieces created this instrument which I can play like a piano,” he said.

The Whistler Suite tied in with the Olympics for him. “I went to Whistler and looked around the area and I was just in-

spired by the trees and the whole of nature around it,” he said. “So I wanted to make something that just had a synergy with Canada.”

One of the pieces in the Whistler Suite called Eagle’s Nest embod-ies the bold eagle flying over the forest.

He worked on the Whistler suite for three years. It is seven move-ments and Eagle’s Nest can be view on Youtube.

“It just goes up and up like you’re on a ski lift,” he said about the song.

“They’re all based on the different synergies that you can hear.”

‘Septenary’ is a brand new piece inspired by the muse of Rosslandand composed in the space of three weeks. Described as a piece thatwill soothe the soul and feed your ears with a selection of flute andworld ensemble music.

“For this one I’ve taken the idea of energy circles in the body being related to resonance,” he said. “The idea is that there will be part ofyou that will be physically in empathy and sympathy and resonatewith the sounds that you hear. For example, you hear a piece of mu-sic and it’s in the key of G, it may be that you hear it and G actuallyresonates more with you than B or E flat or D.”

So he took all seven notes in the harmonic series and wrote theseven tracks, each with a slightly different key.

You can pre-listen online on iTunes and Amazon and find outmore about Meinhardt at www.musictrees.ca. The concert is suitablefor both children and adults.

“Symphonies” is presented by the Rossland Council for Arts andCulture. Tickets are $12 in advance at Out of the Cellar in Rosslandor $15 at the door. $2 off for RCAC members.

The native pollinator workshops that are coming up will show how to properly build nest for and identify the differ-ent types of pollinators..

Submitted photos

Registration is now open for the outdoor sessions of the native pollinator workshops put on by Rossland Real Food.

Hanne Smith, who organizes the work-shops, said the indoor session, back in April, gave a full background on the ecology of the bees and their habitat needs.

At that workshop entomologist Lynn West-cott demoed the building of nest boxes for the pollinators. “The outdoor one is to give people the opportunity to be out there with her looking at bees and identifying them,” Smith said, adding that it puts the questions that were asked at that meeting into perspec-

tive. “She’s going to be showing what makes good habitat for native pollinators. And then she’s going to be taking people around to not only see the bees, but see the possible nesting habitats and plants that are useful for pollen or nectar sources.

As she sees the bees, Westcott will iden-tify them and explain how to identify them: What to look for; different types of bees; what they look like; what does their behav-iour say and things like that. “Then when it gets to the nesting habitat, she’ll be showing sites where bees can nest, like the ground nesting bees,” she said, adding that if prop-erty owners have built tunnel nests for bees on she’ll show them.

Smith said they asked people to preregis-

ter for it because they are trying to includeanyone and everyone who wants to come.

“We’re asking them to contact me specifi-cally, because then we can keep our groups a little bit on the small side,” she said. “Thatway people that are there can actually see what she’s looking at and hear here.”

Smith said that way Westcott won’t have toyell to be loud enough to carry to 30 people outside, as well as if there are 30 people, theywon’t be able to see what she’s talking about.

“We want everyone who comes to have agood time,” she added.

So far they have a lot of spots left for all thedays. The dates are, for the low altitude site,in Fruitvale, June 2 and June 16 and 17 forthe high altitude sites which are in Rossland.

All three sites feature adequate parkingand a wide variety of flowering plants: cul-tivated and wild flowers and shrubs, veggies, fruit trees and berry bushes.

“We’re getting some sign ups, but it’s still early,” she said. “I think people are getting distracted because it’s spring. I’m going to be sending out a reminder and putting some posters up.”

The series is about showing the pollinatorsat a good site for bees so that they can seewhat all the components are to successfullyhouse them in your yard.

“And as usual we have all the resource information, so anyone who comes who doesn’t already have the plant list and the descriptors and how to build a tunnel nestdocuments can get them from me,” she said.

“Anybody can come to these and we’rereally welcoming everyone. and peoplewho contact me I will send them maps of where the sites are. It’s not a mystery, it’s justwe didn’t announce them because we wantpeople to call me so I can keep the groupssmall.”

The days will begin at 10 a.m.The field days are free. To pre-register for

a one-hour time slot at your preferred loca-tion, contact Hanne Smith at 362-7767 [email protected] .
