Tighty whities challenge takes RosslandEveryone in Rossland is pitching in to help build

a skate park for Rossland. On Saturday, Feb. 7 while it was raining and foggy at the ski hill, a group of kids who are passionate about the skatepark project, skied down from the t-bar in nothing but their tighty whities!

During the month of December when the Rossland Skatepark Association (RSA) hosted their 30K in 30 days fundraiser challenge, locals posted various chal-lenges to the Yodel website which were then funded by a network of their supporters. By asking their local

networks to pledge them online, members expanded their fundraising pool outside of Rossland to across the world.

Mark Impey, a RSA board member, was able to reach his network of friends from across the globe to support the construction of Rossland’s skatepark. “I received donations supporting my challenge from Australia, Scotland, England, Ontario, Alberta and all over B.C. If I had asked these people to donate to help build a skate park in Rossland, they wouldn’t have giv-en it much thought but they wanted to support me in my challenge so they gave (to the cause),” Impey said.

Local Rossland children Finn and Blaise were ful-� lling their Yodel skatepark fundraiser challenge on

Feb. 7 by skiing the T-bar slope in only their under-wear. � ey raised the stakes when they skied through the terrain park side of the t-bar and even jumped some of the features set up in the park.

RSA aims to break the ground in summer of 2016 with construction of the skate park at the old Emcon Lot on the corner of Washington and � ird Ave. � e association is on a roll and has the project shovel ready — all that is missing is a small portion of the funds to construct the park. RSA have the designs dra� ed and approval for the site. � ey hope to raise an additional $100,000 to accomplish the project.

NEW LISTING

The City of Rossland’s Offi-cial Heritage Register contains 29 buildings and 13 sites. These same heritage items are also listed on the Rossland Heritage Commission’s (RHC) website, launching this week at www.HeritageRossland.com. The website brings together all of the information that has been re-searched and gathered on Ross-land’s historic places to date.

The idea for a website on Rossland’s Heritage came about after the six years of research without an official home for all the content that public could have easy access to.

The website has been de-signed by HLF Images of Ross-land and will be made live just in time for Heritage Week. The theme for the 2015 Heritage Week in B.C. is Main Street: At the Heart of the Community. The week kicks off on Monday Feb. 16.

The Website has photos, his-tories, value statements and maps presented in a focused and attractive, easy to navigate format.

“The Rossland Heritage Commission is pleased to pro-vide this website on behalf of the city and to share its information with all interested viewers both local and abroad,” explains Jack-

ie Drysdale chair of the RHC.The Website is administered

by the RHC. Drysdale says ad-ditions are always welcome as this site is a work in progress. The Website is linked to the City of Rossland website and that of the museum and the Chamber of Commerce.

The City of Rossland has many buildings and sites that have a strong connection to the exciting gold mining era of more than a hundred years ago. The Heritage Commission is very pleased with this project and its benefits in telling more about Rossland’s early history as Canada’s premier gold mining center for 30 years.

“The beauty of the Heritage Rossland website is that it is a focused, complete, attractive, easy to reach source of informa-tion about Rossland’s heritage buildings and sites,” said Drys-dale.

Drysdale described the dif-ference between history and heritage and explained the defi-nition of heritage for the com-mission relates to buildings and sites of significance to the com-munity.

Plans to introduce the website include sessions with students of Rossland Summit School. The RHC will also be welcoming the public to explore the website on computers provided at the Ross-land Legion from 12:00 to 2:00

p.m. on the Feb 18 and 19.The RHC was created through

a by-law of the City of Rossland in 2009. The RHC’s mandate is to identify, preserve and con-serve those buildings and sites that are valued by the communi-ty for their historic significance in telling the story of Rossland’s development, particularly of the gold mining era between 1895 and 1929.

The RHC endeavors to pro-mote public awareness and ap-preciation for Rossland’s many heritage places that are an im-portant part of our visual and built environment and that help to define our community’s iden-tity.

Despite three disastrous fires in Rosslands’ downtown (1902, 1927 and 1929) the historic streetscapes still exist to charm the visitor. Encouragement of sympathetic infill and restora-tion of facades which follow the City’s Design Guidelines have created a downtown that Ross-landers are proud of.

“Today many communities are leveraging the heritage of their downtowns as assets to stimulate tourism, attract new residents, provide affordable housing, and encourage invest-ment by creating affordable space for smaller businesses and start-ups, as well as authentic retail experiences,” describes Heritage BC.

RSA began back in 1996. By the time the funds roll in to con-struct the skatepark, it will have been 20 years that the community’s desire for a skatepark

has become formal-ized.

“We’ve been work-ing towards this for a long time,” stated RSA board member Robin Strachen. “With the help of the community and matching funds

we were able to raise over $61,000 in De-cember (2014). With this momentum we are confident about get-ting a skatepark built next year,” he added.

Expect to see more events and fundrais-

ers for the skate park soon including the Rossland Rotary Val-entine’s Dance being held this Saturday at the Miners’ Hall. Tickets are $20 each and are available from Powderhound.

Rossland Museum celebrates

The Rossland Museum and Dis-covery Centre (RMDC) and RED-room Lounge have been bringing Rossland’s past to life at weekly trivia shows based on the history of our mountain kingdom.

Each week, on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. the high tech trivia game show kicks off in the REDroom Lounge giving participants an ex-cuse to get together and have a bit of fun.

Show host Mr. Gabriella says he thought he knew plenty in regard to Rossland’s past until the trivia nights began. “You think you know a lot about Rossland...I thought I knew a lot about Rossland,” he said.

Mr. Gabriella also assures people these nights are not intimidating; even if you don’t know a lot about local history there is still fun to be had. “A group of Brits came along and they were leading after answer-ing the first four questions correct-ly,” he added.

The trivia show is tech savvy; teams are provided with a game button to buzz in on. The first team to buzz in correctly will have their name come up on the screen. Ques-tions are asked with a slide show of pictures included for entertain-

ment.The questions are a mix of

straight up history, trick questions and not so serious questions that people tend to take a guess at. “It is different to what most people ex-pect,” said Mr. Gabriella.

Each week before the show, RMDC post three questions — one to their website, one on facebook and another on twitter. These sam-ple questions give people an idea of what will be asked at the Wednes-day night shows.

Prizes are also given away. Mr Gabriella explained that after host-ing the British visitors, the trivia show adopted the idea of spinning a wheel when the question of the week from social media was asked.

In the skiing themed trivia night, “one of the questions was, ‘how many ski patrollers does it take to change a light bulb?’” revels Mr. Gabriella.

There are five weeks of trivia in total. Heritage week is Feb. 16–22 so reserve a game button for you and three other team members to celebrate and test out your knowl-edge of Rossland.

Arrive to the REDroom Lounge within the Prestige Resort on Co-lumbia Ave. at 6 p.m. and ask for your game button. It is free to play and there is enough space for up to 10 teams, each with four play-ers. For more information, visit the RMDC website at rosslandmu-seum.ca.

Operations Manager: Jennifer CowanEditorialOUR VIEW

It was great to see families out enjoying time together over the past weekend in celebration of the B.C. family day holiday. There were families out skating, playing hockey, snowboarding and skiing. Some would have started the day out with the whole family making pancakes to enjoy with maple syrup and one another.

We pity the poor federal and retail workers who live in Rossland and did not get to relax with the rest of their family because their workplace agreements do not allow them a day off. Since this is not a federally established holiday, federal workers had to work on family day.

Why can’t the whole country simply agree upon a common list of statutory holidays? This is a good indicator of just how overcomplicated our laws are.

Rossland has many attractions for visi-tors and we don’t just depend on shop-ping as the main draw card. We have diverse experiences that do not rely on people to deliver the experience. In clos-ing our retail stores we are not missing out on visitors.

One would think we have enough common sense to get ourselves organized and plan what we may need from retail stores prior to them closing for just one day! Get out of the store and enjoy some time with those who support us through thick and thin.

As consumers family day is a great way to slow down and take some time to ap-preciate our families.

BOOK REVIEW

Jonathan Auxier’s � e Night Garden-er was a � nalist for the 2014 Governor General’s Literary Award for children’s literature, and rightly so.

It’s a ghost story and a Gothic thriller, and in its tone and themes the novel is a throwback to the spookiness and humour of Washington Irving’s tales and the harshness and perseverance in Charles Dickens’s writing. Auxier re-veals his debt to these writers not only when he uses this tone and these themes, but also when he sets his novel on a run-down estate in mid-nineteenth-century rural England.

Fourteen-year-old Molly and her eleven-year-old brother Kip come to England from Ireland to escape the po-tato famine for a better life. On their crossing from Ireland, they are separated from their parents, and hence they also

are looking for a safe place to live and earn their keep. Despite cautions from folks they meet in their search, they pursue a lead to the Windsor estate in the sourwoods. It’s a decrepit big house with a gnarly dark tree growing up one side of it. A� er a delicate � rst meeting, the family—the mother, father, and two children — takes them on, Molly as the housekeeper and Kip as the gardener. � us begins the novel proper, which covers just over a month in Molly and Kip’s time with the Windsors, a time that is made frighteningly memorable by the Night Gardener and the tree he tends.

� e Night Gardener will grab middle graders and older readers alike. � e characters are full and alive, the dialogue is crisp and natural, and the narration is just detailed enough to create stimulat-ing feelings, images, and moods. A few words might send readers to dictionaries — the limpid sky, a hateful rictus — but dictionary searching is a good thing, and such dialogue spellings as an’, ’em, canna, and somethin’ might seem odd on � rst encounter, but each character’s voice becomes quickly familiar. Creepy char-acters and scary scenes could give read-ers nightmares, but the actions of those

characters and scenes come up against undeniable acts of kindness and justice that should temper any fears. Still, par-ents of younger readers are cautioned.

� ose moments of kindness and jus-tice make this also a moral tale, but it’s not a black-and-white novel of good and bad. Characters weigh the di� erences between what’s “smart” (that is, safe, easy, or pro� table) and what’s “right.” Molly and Kip, and all the Windsors — Constance, Bertrand, Alistair, and Pen-ny — are called upon to ask themselves what matters most to them and why, questions that take on greater meaning because their circumstances are a� ected by magic, poverty, and illness.

In some of these moments we glimpse Molly’s gi� for storytelling. She always has one ready to get Kip and her out of a tough situation, to lessen Kip’s worries, and to earn them respect and opportuni-ties. But this gi� and readiness give her — and any good storyteller — ability to be an able liar, too, and, in the midst of his own great storytelling, Auxier makes his characters, and thus asks us to, dis-tinguish between a story and a lie and how they inform actions and relation-ships.

More than $6.9 million has been provided to 277 artists, museums and arts organizations in 97 British Columbia commu-nities as part of the latest round of successful BC Arts Council grant adjudications.

Almost $900,000 of this provincial funding has been awarded to 71 community arts councils including $10,000 for Rossland Council for Arts and Culture (RCAC).

RCAC received news earlier this month of the grant success.

Renate Fleming, of the RCAC board explains how important these funds from the provincial government are to RCAC as the organization is not restricted on how the funds can be spent and has some flexibility in deliver-ing arts and cultural programs to the residents of Rossland.

“Funding is important to us. It is not registered to a particu-lar project and we can use the funds where we need them,” said Fleming.

The BC Arts Council assess-es applications and distributes funds based on three differ-ent criterions. The criteria are based on population size, arts council performance and pro-gramming over the past year, and how much the municipal provides in matched funding to the arts council.

RCAC received $4,000 from the municipal government, which allowed the organiza-tion to receive the equivalent in matched funds from the prov-ince.

“We are excited to get this money. It’s essential for us in doing what we do. It helps sup-port all our programs. This kind of money helps with everything we do for Rossland,” said Flem-ing.

These most recent grant allo-

cations are the result of applica-tions examined by the BC Arts Council’s independent peer-review process between Nov. 1, 2014 and Jan. 31, 2015.

The funding is part of the $24 million provided to the BC Arts Council by the Government of British Columbia to support the province’s arts and culture sec-tor in 2014-2015.

Community, Sport and Cul-tural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said, “Arts and culture are key building blocks for creative and vibrant com-munities and they are essen-tial to our quality of life and competitiveness. The arts and culture sector is a significant contributor to our provincial economy and is vital in the pro-motion of British Columbia as a prime location to visit, work, live and invest.”

Fleming explains the appli-cation process can be quite te-dious. It involves compiling a lot of financial information which is sent to both provincial and federal levels of government.

“It (the application) takes a lot of time and is due in Septem-ber, so it is a big part of what we do for the month of September,” said Fleming.

Creating a walkway or patio out of paving stones can add aesthetic appeal to a property. Pavers are less permanent than concrete and decking. As a result, it is easier to change the design later on if you want to give the space a new look.

Homeowners who install their own pavers can save a considerable amount of money. Because installing paving stones can be labor-intensive, landscape contractors may charge a premium for installation. However, this is a project that can be tackled by the do-it-yourselfer.

1. Measure and plot out the area that will become the path or patio. The area of the space can be � gured out by multiplying length times width. This will help you determine just how much material you will need.

2.Visit the home improvement store or a supplier of stone and other masonry supplies to determine the style and color of the paving stones you will use in the project. Some homeowners prefer to have the materials delivered to their home to save the hassle of extra heavy lifting and moving.

3. Using a shovel or a tiller, dig down and remove the grass to a depth of four to six inches from the area that will become the path or patio.

4. Fill in the area you dug out with a paver base material, using a tamper (either manual or power-driven) to tamp down the paver base until it is level and smooth.

5. Apply about one inch of paving sand to further level out the path or patio. This will be the material on which the paving stones are laid.

6. Begin laying the paving stones. Leave the appropriate distance between stones desired by your pattern. If the paving stones will not have any gap and serve as a continuous patio, leave only the smallest gap between them.

7. Spread more paving sand on top of the paving stones and, using a broom, sweep it over the stones and into the crevices between them to set the stones.

8. Create the rest of the garden design around the patio or pathway using gravel, plants and even edging material to � nish the look. Over time you may need to sweep more paving sand over the stones to keep them secure.

It’s the room where the elected o� cials of Rossland get business done and now it is livelier than ever! � e Rossland City Hall features the artworks of three local artists. On a rotating schedule, the walls of the council chambers will be decorated with local art.

It is all part of a strategy to change the atmosphere of council chambers. Mayor Moore explains she would like to see the place become more inviting to the public so that people feel they can approach council and engage in lively constructive conversa-tions.

“I wanted to make it feel more friendly and welcoming; I wanted to make cham-bers feel more welcoming and council more approachable. Freshen it up, send the message that this is a new council with new ideas and new ways of doing things.” Moore stated.

� e idea germinated from a discussion between Mayor Moore and local Rossland resident Kathy Williams. It was Williams’

idea of getting local artists involved and the mayor put it straight into action just a� er the election.

Members of the local art community, namely Renate Fleming and Louise Dre-scher, compiled a list of local talent. � e mayor and Fleming then went on social visits to canvass the works.

� e intent is to rotate the works every three months. Current works interpret Rossland in their own unique way and with their own de� nitive technique. Artist Rich-ard Soltice is the black and white photogra-pher. “His moody images are from the sur-rounding area and the quality of his work is exceptional,” described Moore.

Claude Stormes is the painter with imag-es of Rossland landscapes in vibrant yellows and oranges. Stormes captures the magical feel of our community. Additionally, paint-er Andy Holmes focuses on more primitive images evocative of a playful dream state. He epitomizes creativity.

“I love the diversity and I was really thrilled with how many artists jumped at the idea of beautifying city hall,” said Moore.

� e public can view the artwork any

time chambers is not in use for a sta� meet-ing. Or, the public is invited to come to a council meeting and view the work while listening to council business being done. All works are for sale by contacting the art-ist directly. � e next installation is due in April.

Artists interested in exhibiting work can get involved by emailing Mayor Moore at [email protected].

“It’s my intent to show as many local art-ists as want to get involved,” she said.

Joseph O. PatenaudeEn 1897, Joseph O Patenaude fait un arrêt à Nelson et décide d’y rester. Ce choix l’amènera à ouvrir un bureau d’optométrie au 366 rue Baker à Nelson en octobre 1897, à l’âge de 26 ans. Quelques années plus tard, un atelier de fabrication de bijoux, d’horlo-gerie et de réparation de montres viendra se greffer à un bureau d’optométrie. Il aura à son emploi pas moins de 13 salariés à temps plein.

Patenaude a plus d’une corde à son arc, en plus des bijoux, des montres et de l’optométrie, il travaille aussi l’argent. Il fabrique des cuillères, dont une en particulier créée en l’honneur de la ville de Nelson, avec plusieurs gravures représentant l’église et la fonderie.

M. Patenaude siège au sein du Conseil de la ville de Nelson en 1920 et est un membre actif de la chambre de Commerce. Au cours de sa longue vie, J.O Patenaude aura été l’un des principaux bienfai-teurs de la Cathédrale Marie l’Immaculée de Nelson ainsi que des écoles primaire et secondaire Saint-Jo-seph. Son décès survient à l’âge de 85 ans à l’hôpital de Nelson.

Le moine, la chandelle et la lampePar Aurelien Dupuís

C’était au 14e siècle. Un moine lisait son bréviaire à la lueur d’une chandelle. Ce moine se plaignait du peu de lumière que projetait cette dernière. Il aurait voulu qu’elle brille avec plus d’éclat. Il la croyait même responsable du fait que sa vue faiblissait d’année en année. Il aspira et expira fortement dans un geste d’impatience. La chandelle s’en offusqua et son auréole lumineuse se mit à dan-ser follement. Elle s’agitait au

point où le philosophe regrettait presque son geste impétueux. Une fois recomposée, la chan-delle lui adressa ces mots : « cherchez donc un substitut, homme d’esprit si mon rende-ment ne vous suf� t. Je parie que vous n’en trouverez point en ce siècle où l’on vit. »

Or, ce moine avait un esprit des plus inventif. Les moines, avouons-le, vivaient dans un état qui favorisait l’in-novation et la découverte. Ce sont eux en bonne partie qui, dans l’antiquité, ont fait avancer la science. Songeons aux pro-grès dans l’art culinaire, dans le domaine de de la viticulture, de l’agriculture, de l’écriture et de la philosophie. Prenons comme exemple Mendel, qui contribua énormément à la science de l’hé-rédité. On pourrait continuer ainsi, à énumérer les contribu-tions scienti� ques des moines à travers les âges.

Retournons cependant à notre moine du début de cette his-toire. Il lui vint à l’idée un jour, de tremper une mèche d’étoupe dans un bain d’huile de baleine. Il étouffa la mèche à sa partie supérieure avec un manchon en cuivre et y mit le feu. Une lumière presque incandescente jaillit aussitôt et jeta ses rayons lumineux dans l’appartement de l’érudit. Le moine venait d’inventer la « lampe ». La chandelle perdit tout à coup de son prestige. Elle devint en � n de compte un ornement sur l’âtre ou l’étagère. Mais, des inventions successives, ont fait naître des lumières à grande inten-sité et la lampe à son tour, fut mise de côté. Malgré tout, elle, de même que la chandelle au-ront toujours une place dans les foyers. Car, voyez-vous, lorsque l’ampoule s’éteint pour quelque raison, qui la remplace ?

Seven Summits Centre for Learning (SSCL) has become successful only from the tire-less work and dedication of its volunteers. Seven Summits now has many people volun-teering their time and energy from the community giving the students many opportunities to learn from their expertise. Thanks to volunteer communi-ty mentor support, Seven Sum-mits has been able to provide an incredible variety of courses and activities.

The first semester had stu-dents learning about Web De-sign, with Aerin and Jimmy Guy. They have both worked for over 10 years as web strate-gists and web developers. They run their own small digital agency in Rossland; their cli-ents include Pearson Educa-tion, Don Tapscott, Nakusp Hot Springs and the Monashee Institute. They currently share their skills with SSCL and manage their web and media presence. Foods

The foods course taught learn-ers about cooking, preparing meals for large groups, as well

as reading from recipes. Sean Stewart and Mel Black were the instructors. Sean has owned a cafe and now works for Interior Health in the dietary depart-ment. He also owns his own catering business.

Mel lives in Rossland and owns a small scale food processing business.
