The rescuers needed rescuing on Thursmorning when an Yourday Horoscope For the Week ambulance went off with Michael O’Connor inside the the West road Kootenay inAdvertiser Rossland. It is unknown whether the ambu-

lance was responding to an emergency when the vehicle and the three occupants went off the road on Highway 3B between Feeney’s Road and the Rock Cut Pub and Restaurant.

Did you know...

Dan Derby, deputy fire chief for the Kootenay Boundary Fire Department; says the passengers and the driver of the ambulance were injured but stable after the accident.

“It was two paramedics and a nurse,” he said. “All three were stable when they left the scene and were transported to our hospital here (in Trail). They did not have a patient on

board.” According to Derby the road conditions weren’t hazardous at the time of the incident and fire crews were sent out to give a hand. “The (road) condi-

tions were good,” he said. “We responded with our crews from Trail and we also responded with a crew from Rossland. When we arrived on scene, we set up to support them.”

Kids Hour

AT THE ROSSLAND MUSEUM JOSEFIN SVEDBERG Rossland News

This year the Rossland Historical Museum is trying something new. Every Wednesday between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. it’s Kids Hour, a program featuring funny games, interesting science and other great ways for kids to learn and play. The first two occasions were a great success with multiple participants in attendance. On the first day, the kids made two volcanoes, played games and looked at fluorescent rocks. The pink and blue lava of the volcanoes was greatly

appreciated, as it was perfect for the kids to stick their hands in. The main attraction of the second Kids Hour was the homemade ice cream. The kids shook the ingredients for ice cream in bags filled with ice and salt until they were frozen. A bag ripped, blowing ice all over, and turned into a milkshake that was more cherished than a bag that turned into proper ice cream. That day they also took a look into what life was like in Rossland in the past. As the museum guides themselves are young and full of energy, they manage to get the kids ex-

cited during quizzes and games. During one game, the kids were divided into two teams and tasked at identifying old artifacts. Some of the kids were very knowledgeable on the subject and guessed almost every item correctly! The participant fee is $2 for kids between 7 and 10 years. As a bonus, participants receive a recipe card and learn how to execute different experiments. Some of the upcoming themes are railways, ski history, mining and community. The last Kids Hour will be on August 20, so be sure to check it out before then.

History of the Rubberhead Rossland is steeped in the mountain bike racing history of North America. While the small community of 3,500 people hosted the 1993 North American Championships, the history of bike racing in Rossland goes back much further with the original Rubberhead Bike Festival. The Rubberhead started in 1985 on fully rigid bikes: with a cross-country race on the Rubberhead trail in lower Rossland; a Mt. Tam-style downhill race on the wagon road from Rossland to Warfield; a ski-inspired dual slalom; and an innovative “Technogrind” race where cross-country racers were penalized time for dabbing on the highly technical sections. The Rubberhead was hugely popular at a time when mountain biking was exploding on the scene. “I bet you could count the number of mountain bikers on your fingers and toes when we first started,” says pioneer Terry Miller. “It was new and exciting.” Based on the success of the Rubberhead and strong volunteer and racer enthusiasm, Rossland bid and won the right to host the North American Championships for 1993 at the zenith of the early mountain bike revolution. With 400 participants and 200 volunteers, more than 600 people were involved in the Championships, not counting fans, spectators and most of Rossland’s residents (who didn’t have a choice as the course literally went through their backyards). The ’93 NorAms were coupled with the Rubberhead Festival and offered nearly a dozen different events for all riders—from elite competition to a beer-fuelled bike toss. The ‘93 cross-country race used the traditional Rubberhead trail, a fast, non-technical

route. The ’94 National Championships, however, shifted the crosscountry event to another level altogether. The start/finish line that year took over Rossland’s main thoroughfare sent riders weaving through town, up and down the technical single track of Monte Christo mountain, and then back again through town. The elite men had to do five laps of this winding course.

I bet you could count the number of mountain bikers on your ﬁngers and toes when we ﬁrst started

“I remember Alison Sydor telling me the course was ‘a little technical’, and she was the World Cup Champion,” laughs Miller. The downhill ran from the top of Red Mountain down the backside road and some roughed-in singletrack to the bottom of the Tbar. As they used the lift at the resort to get to the top, there was a lot of negotiating with the Ministry of Transportation at the time, as they had never heard of putting bikes on lifts. “The stuff we had to go through to pull it off was really something else,” says Miller. Other unique events included a grueling head-to-head hill climb competition, bike polo and a noncompetitive “Just Be There” ride for spectators and enthusiasts. The event was hands down a massive success and certainly put Rossland on the map. “It was a big deal in those emerging days,” says Miller. One of the spin-offs

of hosting the North American Champs was the town labelling itself the “Mountain Bike Capital of Canada,” a name that endured for decades. With the establishment of the Kootenay Columbia Trail Society in the late ‘90’s, Rossland has continued to develop and maintain an extensive trail network, including the IMBA-designated “Epic” Seven Summits Trail. The North American Championships evolved into the Canadian Nationals and Canada Cup series races for two years following—while Canadian, it continued to be of a similar scope and scale, with equal success. During those years, Cycling Canada officials attended and were a little skeptical a small town like Rossland could pull off such large-scale events. However, they were so impressed they endorsed a bid to host a World Cup event in Rossland in 1996. “By the time they were done they were ready to move here,” says Terry. “But in the end the UCI wouldn’t go for it. Our organization and courses were excellent, but if we were in Vancouver or Whistler we would have had a good chance.” With the unsuccessful World Cup bid and a significant strain on the community after hosting a decade of large mountain bike events, the first glorious chapter in mountain bike racing in Rossland came to a close. A few years later, Rossland played host to the BC Cup mountain bike series on three occasions between 1999 and 2003. “The events were memorable as the festivities centred on the deck at Red Mountain, and the spectator friendly action on challenging purpose built courses,” says organizer Stewart Spooner. “An unrelentingly steep downhill track plunged straight down from the

summit of Red, the XC loop formed the basis for what is now the Redtop trail and an impressive 4X course was constructed on the face.” Five years later, in 2008, the Rubberhead would return with new organizers, a renewed vigour and new disciplines fit for the times. The Dreadhead Super-D, Huck ‘en Berries Jump Jam and Seven Summits Poker Ride (which had been held for several years prior as a fun event) comprised the new “Rubberhead Festival.” It’s been held the past five years with great regional participation. Now entering its 6th year, things once again are stepping up on a much bigger scale. The Rubberhead Enduro (formerly the Dreadhead Super-D) will be a 3-leg enduro race and is part of both the BC and the Kootenay Rockies Enduro Series. Being held August-long weekend, the event will be centred at Red Mountain Resort with two days of entertainment, fun events and much more. The Huck ‘m Berries Jump Jam has been awarded a “BronzeLevel” status as part of the new Freeride World Tour, meaning it will draw some of the best dirt jumping/slopestyle talent from across Western Canada and the U.S.. The Jump Jam will once again coincide with the ever-popular Poker Ride on the September long weekend. It’s safe to say the history of the Rubberhead and mountain bike racing in Rossland helped shape the fledgling sport of mountain biking into what it is today. The organizers of today’s Rubbherhead are standing on the shoulders of giant mountain bikers, which sounds dangerous. Maybe that will be a new event next year.

Crunching Numbers

Each year, local governments are required, by law, to release financial information detailing how much was paid on salaries, including a list of all employees that made more than $75,000 per year. And each year, most media outlets grab those numbers and throw them into their newpapers and onto websites. The difficulty is, they are just numbers. You can gaze at them for hours but they won’t tell you anything, not without context. Does running these numbers serve the public? Does it explain government spending? With those questions in mind, Black Press papers in the West Kootenay decided to join forces to bring a more complete picture to the financial statements. Led by Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, reporters in Castlegar, Trail and Grand Forks began compiling information to create a comprehensive package that examined, not just the salaries paid, but at the population of the communities and the services offered. Instead of just looking at the totals, our reporters explored where that money was being spent. The result is a three-page feature called Crunching Numbers. It looks at local cities, school boards and regional districts in our area and compares their figures. The special news feature will be published in the next West Kootenay Advertiser on July 31. We encourage everyone interested in knowing where their municipal tax dollars are going to read it. More importantly, we want to know what you think. Did we dig deep enough into the story? Does it make the numbers more understandable? Do you want more features like this? Send your editor an email, a letter, post to Facebook or on our website. Make your opinion known.

Liquor price floor shifts for beer jugs, shots

Doubts linger on province’s third try at minimum pricing Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province has adjusted its new minimum prices for alcohol in the wake of criticism over the rollout of new rules allowing “happy hour” discounts. A new category for draft beer creates a minimum charge of $12 for a 60-ounce pitcher—down from $15 previously announced—or $0.20 per ounce for large volumes over 50 ounces instead of $0.25, which still applies to smaller glasses and pints. “Upon reviewing B.C.’s minimum prices, we realized they weren’t on par with consumers’ expecta-

tions and we took action to find a fair compromise that still upholds B.C.’s high standards for health and safety,” said MLA John Yap, who heads the province’s liquor policy reforms. The new regulations let bars and restaurants charge lower prices for selective times or occasions, but forced some lowprice establishments to raise prices to match the new minimums. That will still be the case for pints in some locales—bars that had charged less than $5 must raise their prices to that minimum for 20 ounces. The province has also increased the

minimum price for spirits from $2 to $3 per ounce. Addictions experts had called for higher minimum pricing to reduce health and safety risks to drinkers. Alliance of Beverage Licensees executive director Jeff Guignard supported the spirit price increase in the interest of public safety, noting a patron previously could have bought five singleounce shots for $10. But he said the lower minimum beer pitcher price of $12 against a minimum 20-ounce pint price of $5 may encourage over-drinking and intoxication. “You’re more likely

to start sharing pitchers than you are to buy individual pints,” he said. Provincial regulations limit a single serving of beer to 24 ounces, so pitchers can’t be ordered by a lone patron. But Guignard noted it’s harder for a server to track how much patrons are drinking when they’re ordering beer by pitchers instead of glasses. “You don’t know if a particular person has had one pint or had the entire pitcher.” The new minimums mean little for bars and restaurants that charge higher prices already. Guignard senses a “rural-urban divide”

in which many Interior bars charging lower prices than the new minimum will have to raise prices, while that won’t generally be the case in much of the Lower Mainland, outside of parts of Vancouver. He said the industry now hopes for stability and certainty. “This is now the third time they’ve changed minimum pricing,” Guignard said. “It’s all a bit confusing and annoying.” Lower prices can be selectively offered for “ladies night” specials or “team night” for players in uniform. Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

Rope Rescue training day

Search and rescue teamwork gets the job done josefin Svedberg Rossland News

Rossland Search and Rescue (SAR) met on July 27 to practice Rope Rescue on the steep rock faces of Ymir. SAR teams from South Columbia—which encompasses Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Salmo—and Nelson joined them for the day of training. As regional teams are often called out to the same incidents, effective teamwork is not just important within any individual team, but

while working with other teams as well. Ross Breakwell, Rossland and District SAR Training Officer and Rope Rescue Team Leader, organized the practice as an opportunity for newer volunteers to hone their skills. Many members took a swing at unfamiliar roles in the rescue operation to both improve their skills and gain a better understanding of Rope Rescue to better instruct other members in the future. Adrian Huber from

South Columbia SAR led one of the scenarios. Huber is in training to become a Rope Rescue team leader. A certain amount of practice hours is needed for his certification and those hours will naturally increase his knowledge and ability. As such, the more experienced team leaders appreciated his participation; highly skilled members are important for teams to be effective. The regional teams were split into smaller groups and set at

various stations to run the parts of the rescue system. The teams worked well together and a great deal of knowledge was shared between members. The secondary purpose of the joint practice was for teams to familiarize themselves with the other teams’ gear. During actual incidents, any team’s gear may be employed, so it’s important that everyone knows how to operate all of the gear properly. New tools were also introduced that made the res-

cue easier than in the past. It was a hot day and after hours of hard work the sweaty teams cooled off in the Salmo River. During lunch, the teams practiced some fun bonding exercises to reinforce their partnerships. Rossland SAR and the other regional teams felt they are developing strong relationships with each other, and their rescues are becoming both faster and safer. All around, it was a very successful practice.

Learn about your town by walking with Rossland Historical Museum tour guide Maddie Taylor-Gregg through downtown Rossland every Thursday and Saturday this summer. Starting at the Miner’s Hall you’ll make your way down Columbia Avenue as Maddie relates the

history of the town. Among other locations of note, you’ll pass by the oldest swimming pool in British Columbia and Rossland’s lone courthouse, once one of a quartet; the others were demolished after Rossland’s golden era ended. Did you know the post office once stood taller? Its third story burned down during one of

Rossland’s many large fires. This is just one of the many interesting facts you’ll learn on the tour. Finally, for a touch of fun, a member of the Gold Fever Follies will be joining the tours, fully costumed and in character. He or she is sure to entertain you and any younger participants who might tag along. “We had a couple who have lived in Rossland since the seventies and they still said that they learned something new. It was great to hear,” says Maddie.

“It has been very successful so far. Saturdays tend to be our busiest day.” Maddie TaylorGregg was born in Rossland, and appreciates the opportunity to host the tour. She added that the tour is easygoing, and she would love for more people to attend. Join Maddie for a pleasant and informative hour every Thursday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for the Heritage Walking Tour. Donations are accepted and will be greatly appreciated.

She had lived there until May 24, 2014 but was returned after her elderly owner could not bring her into the retirement home she was moving to. Taya is a 7 year old spayed short haired calico. She is looking for a quiet home with a quiet guardian as she tends to be shyer. She would do great in a small house or apartment. Please come to the Trail Regional BCSPCA and meet Taya!

Robusters in action in Kelowna

Coach Trish Ostlund Drums the Robusters across the finish line in first place.

The Kootenay Robusters Dragon Boat Team was in fine form for the Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival held July 19 and 20 in Waterfront Park. As usual, many of the fifteen women’s teams taking part were made up of young, competitive athletes putting the Robusters, with an average age of 61, at a significant disadvantage. Despite this, the Ro-

busters won their first three races and posted times that resulted in the opportunity to take part in the women’s championship final. In that race, the team placed fourth, putting in a good effort and enjoying the encouragement of their fans on the shore. The main disappointment of the weekend was that the Robusters, who were formed to support

breast cancer survivors in the region, were not able to enter the race for the Breast Cancer Cup. A minimum of 18 survivor paddlers is needed to take part and the Robusters could only come up with 16. The team did, however, take part in the Carnation Ceremony, held to remember those who have lost their fight with breast cancer and to encourage those who are fighting the

disease. The team would like to remind breast cancer survivors (and women who would like to become associate paddlers), they welcome new members. Now would be a great time to join the team since their next festival is not scheduled until early September. Anyone interested can call (250)362-5289 for more information.

These professionals can help maintain your home Home repairs are inevitable. For the homeowner who also happens to be handy with a hammer, the occasional home repair is nothing to fear and something that many even enjoy. But there many homeowners who aren’t so adept at home repairs, and such men and women typically rely on trained professionals when something goes awry around the house. For those homeowners who either don’t have the time or the ability to fix issues that arise around the house, the following is a breakdown of three of the more

commonly called on home service providers. Electrician: An electrician specializes in addressing a building’s or home’s electrical wiring issues, stationary machines and the equipment related to those machines. Electricians can fix existing issues, but many also can design and install new electrical components and systems. The dangers of working with electrical systems are many, so electricians typically must be certified and licensed before they can practice their trade. Such danger is one

reason why even those who are adept at fixing problems around the house might want to hire an electrician should an electrical issue arise. Plumber: A plumber is a professional whose area of expertise is in installing and maintaining systems for drinking water, drainage and sewage. Though not all jurisdictions require a plumber be licensed before he or she can practice, many do, and it can take years of training and experience to master the skill of plumbing. Many people call a plumber when a toilet or sink

property value remains high. A typical landscaper offers his client an array of services, from cutting the grass to raking leaves to more complicated tasks that gravitate toward landscape architecture. A home’s curb appeal has been shown to vastly improve a prospective buyer’s impression of the house, and as a result many homeowners rely on a landscaper to take care of their property. Many landscapers an extensive knowledge of the science involved in tending to a lawn and how to help it weather the seasons without losing its appeal.

backs up, but plumbers must have far more extensive skills as well. Plumbers must be skilled in a number of areas, including having an ability to read and understand a home’s blueprints, detect faults in a plumbing system if the homeowner cannot install and repair fixtures and systems, and be aware of any legal requirements to ensure a home is safe. Landscaper: Homeowners have increasingly looked to professional landscapers to maintain their home’s exterior and subsequently ensure their
