Rossland councillor Kathy Wallacebrought up concerns about clear cuttingnear Nancy Greene Lake at the Aug. 16 council meeting.

“I find Atco doesn’t seem to use forestrypractices in time with today’s tourism and economy and what we are trying tobuild,” she said of the Fruitvale-based log-ging company which holds forest licensesin the area.

“I would like to ask them, or do we justaccept it?”

Councillor Hanna Smith went one stepfurther.

“I suspect the provincial regulationsshould be looked at and a change with regulations be made.”

Compared to highway practices, “for-estry practices are superb,” said councillorLaurie Charleton.

Mayor Greg Granstrom defended thecompany, suggesting that there may havebeen a pine beetle issue in that area.

“They’ve been pretty good at logging in our area regarding view scape,” he said.

Granstrom promised he would contact Atco to discuss the issue with them.

An audit of Atco’s forest practices was conducted in June this year by KPMG Performance Registrar Inc., one of theworld’s largest professional audit firms. Itgave Atco full marks.

The scope of the audit included: forest management planning; water resources; biological diversity; visual quality and recreation benefits; protection of specialsites; efficient use of forest resources; fibre sourcing conservation of biological di-versity; legal and regulatory compliance;forestry research, science and technology;

The Rossland Community Branch of the Nelson & District Credit Union (NDCU)will be celebrating 70 years of service in Rossland this year.

The Rossland Credit Union amalga-mated with the Nelson & District Credit Union 10 years ago.

To celebrate the anniversary, the Ross-land Branch will be participting in the Golden city Days parade on Sept. 10.

“It’s to celebrate the 70 year of credit union service in Rossland,” said Gordon Player, director of the NDCU and former Rossland Community Branch director.

“We’re going to have a float in the parade with directors who have been with Rossland Credit Union on the float.”

Every year the Rossland Credit Union has an inflatable park for kids.

Player notes that this year at the fair in the arena they are sponsoring a model train.

The train is a model that’s been put to-gether by area builders. It includes a mock

up of old Rossland, the mines and the sur-rounding area.

“People will know,” he said. “The model train is from Rossland.”

The NDCU will also have an exhibit at the fair. There will be memorabilia,

photographs and records from the Ross-land Credit Union.

“We’ve got all sorts of memorabilia; pic-tures and documents and papers,” he said.

“So people can sift through them.”They will also be offering free coffee and

an area for people to sit and talk to each other about old times.

Credit Union celebrating 70 years next month

Gordon Player, a director for the Nelson Credit Union and former Rossland Community Branch director is excited about the upcoming 70th anniversary on Sept. 10.


Council clear cut concernstraining and education; com-

munity involvement, land management responsibilities; communications and public reporting, management review and continual improvement; and more.

Besides all the noted wood-lands operations, the audit also included fibre procurement ac-tivities for the company’s veneer plant in Fruitvale.

It was noted that fibre was not procured from outside Canada or the U.S.

Auditors looked at site plans,

made field trips and checked on the use of qualified logging pro-fessionals and resources.

If a forestry company were found to have major issues, it has to address them immedi-ately. For minor infractions, a company would have 30 days to conduct an audit and three months to implement corrective changes.

A number of good practices were identified. It was noted at that Atco has an excellent silvi-culture program which includes site prep, trail re-contouring, and

diverse tree species planting. It also uses innovative water

control to reduce erosion, and a “very comprehensive and ac-curate visual impact assessment plan and post-harvest evalua-tion program.”

Atco also maintains an effec-tive working relationship with recreational organizations, and participates in the West Koo-tenay resilience and climate change program.

KPMG found no non-con-formance issues; and only two items of “needs improvement”

were noted: a lack of providing enough information to contrac-tor crews, and the lack of con-ducting a planned internal audit in 2011.

Hence, the company’s wood-lands operations “meet the re-quirements of the 2010-2014 version of the SFI standard in all material respects.”

As a result, Atco was granted certification for the next three years.

Many doctors calling Rossland home

The great outdoors may attract a lot of tourists to Rossland, but it is attracting something else – doctors.

Rossland home builder and chamber director Cezary Ksiazek did some research and thinks there are more doctors per capita in Rossland than any other city in Canada.

“I looked at the number of doctors from (Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital) and found 57 of them with the 362 prefix on their home phone numbers,” he said.

He and his wife, internist Danuta Ksiazek emigrated from Poland 10 years ago. She was certified in the U.S.; did her residency and fellowship in Bethlehem, N.J. flew to Vancouver for an interview in Maple Ridge, and wound up in Rossland because of the sunshine.

“We were staying in a hotel and it was always raining,” he said. “Then one beautiful sunny day, I saw all these people sitting outside in the parking lot. I asked why they were outside and they said they were so happy to have a sunny day. I asked how many days in a year it rains and they said 300. So I asked where to go in B.C. for good weather and they said Kootenays.”

Ksiazek couldn’t find a town called Kootenay on a map, but subsequent googling led him to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, where it was noted they were looking for an internist.

“So we came for an interview and met Dr. Wagner, the cardiologist. My wife was interested in cardiology and he was retir-ing.”

Dr. Ralph Behrens invited them to stay in his home. They had dinner at the former Olive Oyl’s restaurant, hiked in the mountains, met tons of nice people and decided Rossland was it. They’ve been here ever since.

Dr. Jane Grey and her husband, or-thopedic surgeon Rob Grey, came from England in 1981, urged on by the late Dr.

Roger Crisfield.“He and Rob trained together in Eng-

land,” she said. “Roger was a big influence and guided Rob into orthopedics. He got fed up with the wages in England and decided to immigrate to Canada.”

They lost contact with each other for some time, other than the occasional Christmas card. Then one day, an invita-tion was presented.

“He called and asked if we’d like to come for a ski holiday. We were going to go to France but a couple of the children got chicken pox.”

Having missed their usual holiday, the Grey’s took Crisfield up on his offer.

“Rob was wowed by the skiing and there were a lot of ex-pat Brits.”

After three “fabulous weeks in Canada,” the family proceeded with immigration plans, took required examinations and settled in Rossland.

“We looked around at other communi-ties but Roger tried to keep all his friends close,” she said. “We were in love with the town, the people, the whole area.”

Dr. Brian O’Flanagan is another doctor who came for the lifestyle and never left. He and his wife immigrated originally from Ireland and came to Rossland from Vancouver in 1972.

“I came for the opportunity to learn how to ski,” he said. “At the time, it was like it is today. Every community was desperate (for doctors).”

What he found in Rossland was a diversity of people and friendships.

Retired for nine years now, O’Flanagan is active in Rossland Rotary and still does locums.

“We’ll stay as long as I can enjoy win-ter,” he said.

KBRH chief of staff Trudi Toews agreed that Rossland likely has more doctors per capita but that only means, “More doctors LIVE here, not work here.”

Toews came to Rossland to ski “for one year.

“I’ve now been here for 37 years.”“I think they come because of the

lifestyle and job opportunities. With Trail

being a regional site, family practices, obstetrics – it gives a good balance.”

She also noted that doctors in this area have more colleague support compared to small towns with only three doctors.

“So if one is away, the others aren’t burning out. There is enough depth to the physician pool.”

She is also optimistic that Trail, being selected as an outreach hospital for the UBC medical program, means more young physicians will be exposed to the area and may choose to come back here.

Anesthesiologist Dr. Iain Reid, who hails from New Zealand, says Rossland wouldn’t have so many doctors in residence and KBRH wouldn’t have the number of specialists and family doctors if it wasn’t for efforts of Dr. Ken LeRose and the former building and maintenance supervisors at the hospital.

“He had the foresight 15 or 20 years ago, seeing the value in having a regional hospital with specialists. If a kidney is damaged, you need a nephrologist; if it’s the bladder, you need a urologist, if it’s the hip, you need an orthopedic surgeon; and an anesthesiologist – so they all become a team. They don’t have that in Nelson.

Ron Parisotto and other building managers made sure the hospital was kept in tip-top shape.

“The (medical) community is phe-nomenal. The other significant factor is the hospital foundation which has kept the hospital so well supplied with equipment.

“The people of Trail made it the centre it is today.”

Reid and his wife, general practitioner Susan Benzer, settled in Rossland in 1995.

“I initially came to Canada to ski and met Susan while here,” he said. “We trav-eled back and forth to the area to visit her family.”

(Benzer is the daughter of Montrose’s former mayor, Art Benzer.)

When the couple decided to move here permanently they picked Rossland over other communities in the area “because of the skiing and recreation. It’s beautiful up here above the clouds.”

No doctor shortages, but where are they?

A lot of doctors may be locating themselves in Rossland, which benefits the entire area, but the rest of Canada hasn’t been so lucky.

According to a study by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the number of physicians rose eight per cent between 2008 and 2009 That translates to 195 doctors per 100,000 population compared to 189 in 2004.

The number of family doctors practising clinical medicine in Canada is currently between 27,000 to 28,000.

The 176-page study, Supply, Migration and Distri-bution of Canadian Physicians, noted that provinces with medical schools showed a spike in the number of degrees awarded. In B.C., that number rose from 114 in 2003 to 197 in 2008.

The extension of the UBC medical school to Prince George and Kamloops helps.

In 2011, another 32 students were slated to enter medical school in those areas.

With many communities reporting difficulty find-ing family physicians and various specialists. where are all these medical graduates going?

Many who may have turned to family medicine in the past are entering a new field called hospitalists.

This relatively new movement was initiated in the late 1990s.

A hospitalist is a doctor who is specialized in caring for patients in hospitals. He or she does not have an office, hence does not run a family practice. They work exclusively at the hospital.

Many hospitalists are family practice doctors, medi-cal-subspecialists or board-certified internists.

Hospitalists organize communication between doc-tors caring for a patient and serve as point of contact for other doctors, nurses and family members.

At Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, there are two hospitalists on full time but the work is split amongst 10 physicians in total, according to emer-gency room chief and emergency physician, Dr. Peter Krampl.

“Some work one week on, often,” he said. “We have quite a good group. Their job is to care for medical and surgical patients from out of town; help with patients

whose conditions are too complicated for the primary physician; those who have no family doctor; and to as-sist with surgical patients.”

The downside is hospitalists may not know a pa-tient’s detailed medical history as a primary doctor would.

Anesthesiology is another field where shortages are making the news of late.

Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital has five an-esthesiologists on staff and one anesthetist.

What is the difference?“In most of the world, the two are synonymous,”

said anesthesiologist Dr. Iain Reid.“In the U.S., an anesthetist is a nurse.”The confusion caused the Canadian medical society

to make the term universal. An anesthesiologist spends five years in this special-

ist study, Reid explained, whereas a general practitio-ner may take an extra year of study in anesthesiology.

The latter do not provide on-call work and are used for minor surgeries and C-sections.

“When I first came here, I did enough complicated (procedures) to be satisfied with the work according to my training – extensive care, neurology, thoracic, aortic aneurysms. . . I wanted a broad practice, com-plicated enough to practice my skills.

“Now, they’ve taken away the thoracic and vascular components and the intensive care has been morphed away into a separate group.”

Add to this the fact that anesthesiologists in rural areas don’t get paid as much as those in big centres makes Reid wonder who will replace him when he retires.

He says a lot of the new graduates don’t want to work as hard as the last generation of doctors.

“They don’t want to be tied down to a family prac-tice. They may want to go on holiday for a month; so they just do lucums, walk-ins and hospitalist (servic-es).”

Reid feels having a great hospital isn’t enough to at-tract new doctors to rural areas.

“Schools, lifestyle and so far, a good variety of medi-cal specialists, will attract new doctors,” he added.

“I worry about what will happen if Rossland schools close. In five years, if you can’t get a family doctor, you’re sitting in emergency for hours and there’s no anesthesiologist, you begin to wonder.”

Noreen Poznikoff presents to Corbin Lew’s mother, Connie, and brother, Christopher, the pro-ceeds from the Rossland Eagles Auxiliary borscht luncheon. The funds will assist the family with expenses related to Corbin’s chemotherapy treatments in Vancouver.

Summer is quickly wrapping up and the air is starting to feel crisp – a sure sign that fall is just around the cor-ner. Although summer was slow to start this year, the pool’s last day is Thursday – August 25. During Public Swim from 1:00-4:00pm, the staff will be hosting games, races and contests for the kids.

The Rossland Pool Staff have done an incredible job of running the Pool this summer! The staff have col-lectively instructed over 400 local children on how to be better swimmers and future lifeguards. Thank you to Lauren Bergen, Claire McKay, Laureta Boychuk, Lauren Ewing, Samme Beatson, Erik Martin and Sharmila Mill-er for the excellent supervision, instruction and staffing at the Pool this summer. The Grade 6 and 7 students at RSS enjoyed a full lesson set in June that ensured their swimming skills were at an acceptable standard before they all set off on their summer adventures. Thank you to Joanna Heikkila, Kim McKinnon and Christine Derosa – the Grade 6 and 7 teachers at RSS, for their support and the extra effort they put into making the lessons happen. The pool offered three advanced level Aquatic courses this summer and put over twenty local youth through their pre-lifeguarding courses. At the last camp, the Minute to Win It Camp, we had half a dozen local teenagers volunteer to help with the 30 children registered for the camp. A big thank you to Dorman Lochlan, Dylan Johnston, Brogan Pastro, Alex Reid and James French. Thank you also to the community who supports the Rossland Pool. The pool has contributed to summer memories for Rossland families and children for 79 years!

The Recreation Department has registered Rossland into a provincial contest – the Healthy Families BC Walking Challenge. This is an online contest, similar to the one Rossland participated in for the Aviva Contest

to support RSS. The Walking Challenge contest has individuals and communities across BC competing for great prizes by sharing favourite walking tips, mapping the best local routes, celebrating community and enter-ing to win great prizes. It’s easy to get started! Log on to www.healthyfamiliesbcwalkingchallenge.ca and then click on the “Find Your Community” button. Click on the letter “R” and then select Rossland. Click on the “Create an Entry” button. Fill in the information about your favourite trail or a walk you’ve recently enjoyed and then check the “I have read and agreed to....” button before clicking the “Submit my Entry” button. Each time you “create an entry”, it counts as an entry in the draw, for both the individual who entered and the com-munity the walk is associated with.

In each week of the contest, over 30 prizes from a random draw of participants who have entered at least one story, video, photograph or walking map onto the contest website will be awarded a prize. Over 200 prizes will be awarded, including bicycles, one-year family memberships to local recreation centres, and trips to exciting vacation destinations across BC. Your chances are better, the more stories you submit!

Here’s the exciting part for Rossland! The five com-munities with the most postings – one from each popu-lation size category - will win $10,000 to upgrade a local walking trail. One of the five winning communities will be selected by a random draw to win an additional $50,000! With the recent success of our online voting for the Aviva Grant – we could be serious contenders!! As an added incentive to participate, the Recreation Department also has prizes to distribute – including pedometers, t-shirts, wallets and water bottles. If you use the same name to register each entry, we’ll award a weekly prize to the individual who has posted the most entries. We’ll keep announce the winner each week!

The Recreation Department is currently working on the Fall and Winter Brochure. The brochure typically spans the months of September to December but in the interest of saving paper, printing costs and administra-tive time, the Recreation Department will be combining the Fall and Winter Brochures into one brochure, span-ning the months of September to March. If you have a hobby or an interest and would like to offer a program that falls into these months, please contact our depart-ment to discuss available options. The deadline is past, so don’t delay to contact our office!

My name is Arne Petryshen. I’m new to Rossland.

I’m excited to be in the area and explore what it has to offer, as well as get to know the people of this city.

I’m also excited to start this new job at the newspaper.

For the past eight months I’ve been working at the newspaper in Grand Forks, and before that I was in Lethbridge, Alta.

I was born and raised in Cranbrook though, so I feel most at home when surrounded by mountains.

So a place like Rossland is a place where I have no problems living, especially with all the excitement that I hope I’ll be able to cover.

I’m going to try to cover a wide array of sub-jects that are of interested to people in Ross-land, and to keep it interesting, I welcome any and all ideas.

Send me an email, give me a call or drop in at the office on Columbia Ave. and I’ll be happy to talk with you and listen to your story ideas.

I know that sometimes what’s covered by the media and what’s going on in the community aren’t quite in perfect harmony, but I want to try as hard as possible to have a newspaper that represents the community for what it is.

I’m an avid skier and biker, but I think I need to step up my game for Rossland.

I also don’t, at the moment, own a pickup truck to use to carry a bike in, but I hope to find one soon.

I think I’ll also need that just to get around in the snow. I’ll let you know how my sports car enjoys the winters. I’m guessing it won’t.

So, if you have a story idea or something that you feel deserves coverage, let me know.

Usually an event that happens once a season, Naughty Knickers Night will be back for an encore.

The Gold Fever Follies will be putting on the encore due to pop-ular demand, said Kate Eldridge, cast member and organizer.

“We had a show a couple weeks ago (Aug. 14) and it was a huge success, so we decided to do an-other one,” Eldridge said.

The two-act show starts with

cabaret acts that Eldridge said showcase the cast members indi-vidual skills. It won’t be the same show as last time either.

“It’s going to be changed up quite a bit from the original one that we had,” she said.

It includes guitar solos, group numbers, dancing and other per-formances.

The second part is an improv of the regular show that the group puts on each day.

“We do a spoof of the piece that we’re doing everyday,” she said. “Last time we drew names

out of a hat to see which charac-ters we’re playing.”

The twelve members use the night to let loose and wear more racy outfits than in the regular show.

“Leave your kids at home,” she warns.

The show is on Aug. 28. It is also the last show that they will be putting on for the musical. Tickets are $10 in advance at Prohardware and the Miners’ Hall and $12 at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Rubberhead schedule changed

Naughty Knickers show on for one more night

The schedule for Rubberhead this year has changed. The biking event will now be held in October, rescheduled from it’s original September date.

Ryan Kuhn, who is organizing the Super D event, said there were a few reasons for the re-schedule.

“We had to move it back we just had a number details, you know a lot of volunteers just pulling together and a few things were just delayed so we decided instead of just rushing it, just to put it off a little bit this year,” Kuhn said. “The Poker Ride is still going on Sept. 4. It’s the Super D and Huck’en Berries events that are moving to Oct. 8 and 9, which is Thanksgiving weekend.”

Kuhn said that the event will be a bit different this year.

“We have a new downhill Super D,” he said. “We’re not doing it on Red this year.”

He said the it’s going to be a Super D format. “It’s a fairly popular form of racing for mountain

biking,” he said. “It’s kind of a slight uphill climb with more downhill involved. So they call it a Super D, it requires fitness and technical downhill skills.”

He said that since the trail is an intermediate one, it’s also going to be more accessible for every-one than Red Mountain.

“I think before we had the super hard climb up red and then the gnarly downhill,” he said.

“So this I think will be a little more accessible for more people to enjoy. If you’re a good rider you can go super fast, otherwise, you can just have fun and it’s still pretty mellow.”

Kuhn added that the more people that come and participate, the better.

Last year, he estimates there were about forty or so participants.

“Just for the Super D - the Dreadhead,” he said. “I expect we’re going to see more than that hope fully this year, just because of the course change. I think it’s just going to be a little less intimidating for a lot of people, so it should be good.”

The Seven Summits Poker Ride is on Sunday, Sept. 4. It is a 36 km, non-competitive poker ride over the Seven Summits Trail. This world class trail takes you over several big climbs and some great, long descents.

You must be in good shape and have a well maintained bike.

Pre-registration is required. Cost is $45. For more information or to register, contact Tyler at Revolution Cycle, at 250-362-5688.

Rossland’s Gnarlie’s Angels preparing for championship

Tickets for the Sept. 11 West Kootenay Roller Derby final will go on sale this weekend.

The final will see Rossland’s own Gnarlie’s Angels facing the Salmo Babes of Brutality.

Shannon Marion, blocker on Gnarlie’s Angels and vice-president of the league, said the team is gearing up for the finals.

“We’re practicing three times a week, with two and a half hour practices,” she said. “We’re working on strategy, fitness and cardio.”

She said that the team watches most games and were there last Friday to see Salmo beat the Castlegar Dam City Rollers by a score of 180 to 106.

“We’re there at pretty much every game, so we’ve been watching them play

all season and likewise, they’ve been doing the same to us,” she said. “So I’m sure our strategies are much the same.”

That strategy, she said, is to conquer; whether it be divide and conquer or stick together and conquer, winning is their plan.

“Conquer any way you can,” she said laughing.

“No, it’s more defend and conquer, we’re trying to defend our points and they’re try-ing to take them away.”

Tickets for the Sept. 11 event are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

There will also be a special opening to the game, with the two newest teams in the league playing each other.

The Slocan Valley Vendettas will be up against the Trail Bloodshed Betties.

“I’m encouraging people to not just come and watch the championship game, but to also come cheer on some newbies and get them excited for playing derby,”

Marion added. “They’ve been working and training

really hard, and not only that they’ve been volunteering and helping out at every single one of our games, since the very be-ginning of the season. They’re an integral part of the league even though they haven’t been playing.”

The event takes place at the Rossland Arena. Doors open at 4 p.m. with first whistle at 5 p.m.

“This is expected to be a sell-out event, so don’t wait until game day to get your tickets,” said Michelle Sylvest, marketing, fundraising and sponsorship director for Kootenay Roller Derby.

Tickets will be for sale online, at koo-tenayrollerderby.com, or at the following local venues:

Mountain High Lighting (Castlegar), Gerick Cycle & Sports (Trail), RossVegas (Rossland), West Kootenay Scuba (Salmo), and Phat Angel (Nelson).

This mouth watering event is back this year. Taste of Rossland is back but with a more flavourful twist- it is now Taste of the Kootenays.

What was an event to showcase lo-cal cuisine is now to showcase regional Kootenay cuisine.

“We wanted to make the event bigger and better, as there are so many exciting options to choose from in the region,” explains Renee Clark, the executive director at the Rossland Chamber of Commerce.

This wildly popular event gives peo-ple the opportunity to experience “small bites” of food from a variety of restau-rants, pubs, cafes and local wine and beer makers who will be offering their finest tastings off the menu. There will also be some live music from regional artists, and door prizes.

“It’s a lot of fun to attend, and so popular in town. People usually do not realize how many types of food and dishes there are. Come early and stay a while!” Clark describes.

This year’s event will now be on Sept. 24, from 5-9 p.m. at the Prestige Moun-tain Resort in Rossland. The entire conference space has been booked to accommodate more vendors and the greater numbers of people.

Those who are interested in being a vendor and participating in the event should contact the Rossland Chamber of Commerce for more information. There are a limited number of spots ex-plains Clark.

For up to date information, please visit www.rossland.com/home, Bhub-ble or watch for further updates in the Rossland News.

For questions and queries contact the Rossland Chamber of Commerce at 250-362-5666.

Get your taste buds ready

An opportunity to pass on your thanks and greavances

Often times you experience a kind gesture from a stranger or even a neighbour that you later realize wasn’t acknowledged as much it should have been.

Or in contrast, the action of another per-son may have upset you or been viewed as unnecessary.

The Rossland News is re-inventing a com-mon newspaper feature which will allow Rossland residents the opportunity to recog-nize the good deeds, or not so good deeds, of

others in our community. The Sunshine Cafe will be sponsoring this

feature and it has fittingy been named “Sun-shine and Storm Clouds.”

This is your opportunity to share your thanks or dimay for the actions of others. This is your chance to give praise where it is due and remind others of the importance of being kind neighbours in our city.

There is no charge to submit a comment.If you would like to send a ray of sunshine

to someone for something kind or a sky full of storm clouds to someone who may have been less than kind, you have the opportuni-

ty to do so by sending your contributions to [email protected] or by drop-ping off at a note at the Rossland News office at 2114 Columbia Ave. in Rossland.

The Rossland News would like to remind everyone that this is not to be a forum to embarrass anyone by naming names, par-ticularly in the instance of a lack of good judgement.

Then we too would be wished numerous thunder clouds.

In fact, part of the fun of reading this new feature may be trying to figure out to whom they are referring!

Columbia Phoenix Players will be holding audi-tions for their fall production ‘Scrooge’s Christmas Carol’ - a freely adapted comedy version of one of the world’s best loved Christmas stories.

The auditions will be held on Thursday, Sept. 8. Doors open at 6.30 p.m. for registration for a 7 p.m. start in the basement hall of St. Andrews Church, Pine, in Trail, and the show will be presented at the Charles Bailey Theatre in Trail December 3 and 4.

Anyone interested in these auditions should know that it is a big commitment as rehearsals will begin week commencing Sept. 12 and every Mon-day and Thursday until show time.

We are looking to fill several male roles, includ-ing that of Scrooge himself and other smaller but important characters, male and female, who appear throughout the play. (No-one under 13 years of age should apply at this time.)

So, all you guys out there, if you are an actor or you used to act and have a hankering to try the boards again, we invite you to come and try out....and that applies to newcomers to theatre. Our piano player cannot join us this season, so if you are reading this and would be interested in playing some seasonal music for our show come along. We are also always looking for help in the costume department.

Columbia Phoenix Players are a non profit the-atre group and are members of Trail & District Arts Council and Theatre B.C. and proudly supported for this upcoming Fall production by Columbia Basin Trust & RDKB

Further enquiries regarding this production can be made to Jean at 250-367-6365 – or leave a mes-sage.

Sports

Working with Yoga

The B.C. Senior Games wrapped up last weekend with the West Kootenay Boundary region coming in second overall.

Rossland took home its fair share of medals in the events.

In swimming, Barb Roberts took a gold and two bronze medals in the womens 75-79 category. Rob-erts took gold in the 50m backstroke, bronze in the 100m backstroke and bronze in the 100m freestyle. She was just out of contention for three other swim events.

Joan Ferguson took gold in the Women 55-59 0-24.3 Handicap golf, while Maureen Elliot took bronze in the Women 75-79 0-24.3 Handicap.

In men’s horseshoes, Leslie Anderson took gold in the Men 55+ Class B category and Violet Anderson took gold in the Women 55+ Class E category.

Richie Mann took four golds in equestrian, all in Men and Women 75+ Driving events.

BettyGoHard and Kerry Yoga have teamed up to offer a new program for women, getting the body working and calming the mind.

The first Sunset Hiking and Yoga outing went off without a hitch Monday. The group trekked up Raven’s Rock trail behind the hospital to the look-out point over Gyro Park before rolling out the yoga mats and engaging in some downtime at the summit.

“It’s really important to create balance. So if you’re hardcore doing exercise, if you don’t stop to go to the gym or go and do some yoga and balance what you’re doing your body gets out of alignment,” said Natasha Lockey, founder of BettyGo-Hard, the local women’s action sport business.

“I think we all do that — we sort of focus on one side of things or the other and I’ve re-ally been trying to create some-thing that balances.”

Participants hike a select-ed trail and then take part in roughly a half hour of yoga, before completing the other half of the hike — with refresh-ments and treats waiting at the bottom.

The idea came out of the blue and Lockey decided to ask her good friend Kerry Turner, of Kerry Yoga, to partner up.

“She (Kerry) really enjoys do-ing yoga in the park and I’ve

been trying to come up with ideas to compliment my activi-ties and do something slightly different and unique just to get different people out doing stuff,” said Lockey, explaining that participants in the Bet-tygohard and yoga programs come out for a while and then slowly dwindle away.

She’s hoping that something like combining the two will keep things fresh and interesting.

Carlina White, from Mon-trose, is an avid hiker but had never tried yoga before. She loved the experience.

Linda Brace seconded that feeling.

“It’s awesome, I’m so glad I came. The hike wasn’t too long because especially with the yoga it just complimented it and I thought it was really good.”

The program will run again Aug. 29, starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Elder Trail trailhead where Short Street meets Palyga Drive in West Trail. After the hike and yoga, participants will make their way to Got Juiced in downtown Trail, where tasty treats will await hikers.

There’s also an Oct. 1 date that will run through Trail Parks and Recreation and is listed in the fall recreation guide.

If there’s enough interest the program will continue beyond those dates, said Lockey.

The cost is $36, with a dis-counted rate for returning hik-ers. To register, contact Lockey at 250-231-4305.

HEART helping rescue neglected northern dogsThere is no shortage of sad dog sto-

ries in the Northwest Territories, but HEART dog rescue is working very hard to give Marley’s the happiest of endings.

Marley and her 8-week-old lit-termates were taken from a neglect-ful property in Hay River, where the owner hadn’t even noticed that her leg had been broken, twice.

By the time she came into caring hands, her breaks had healed and realignment surgery was dismissed

as too painful, complicated and with little guarantee of success.

Marley is going to need an amputa-tion. Enter Helga Brink, a German ex-patriot with a diploma in homeo-pathic animal medicine.

Earlier this year, Brink drove to Rossland from her Shuswap home to meet, and subsequently adopt, Mar-ley’s brother.

A week later, HEART received an email from Brink:

“I can’t stop thinking about little Marley. Is there something I can do to help fundraise for her surgery? I’d be happy to come back out to the Kootenays.”

And on Saturday, Aug. 27, she will do just that. Brink will be hosting a holistic animal care seminar at Barks n Rec in Trail, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It will be a highly informative, hands-on event, where dog lovers can learn how to recognize the symptoms of various ailments, and treat many of them with natural remedies.

Donations of $10 are suggested, with all of the money raised going to pay for Marley’s surgery.

The outpouring of support for Marley has been amazing.

Her foster, Glenda Harris in Nelson, has offered to hold onto the

little girl for as long as necessary, has selflessly ferried her to countless veterinary appointments, and worked to increase her exposure in the com-munity.

A team of local veterinarians, including Dr. Fraser of Arrow Lakes Veterinary in Castlegar, and Dr. Simm of Kettle River Veterinary in Grand Forks, have been collaborating to ensure the best help possible for their tiny patient.

Several individuals have also do-nated generously to Marley’s medical fund.

HEART is hoping for a great turn-out at Saturday’s seminar; it prom-ises to be highly informative, with a take-home information booklet and extensive question & answer period.

The organization is also still wait-ing for a great adoptive home for Marley, once she has recovered from her procedures.

If you would like to make a donation to HEART, help by fos-tering a dog or puppy, or apply to adopt a rescue, you can email [email protected].

Current HEART adoptable dogs, and more information on the lo-cal rescue group, visit their website: www.heartdogrescue.com.
