ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Next Friday, the West Kootenay Roller Derby League kicks into high gear with a double header in where else but Rossland.

The night starts at 5 p.m. on Friday the 13th, with Babes of Brutality taking on Lumber Jackies in the first match and Dam City Rollers taking on Rossland’s Gnarlie’s Angels.

The Angels finished last season as league champions as they took back the lead in overtime laps, in what was a stunning finale.

The team will be playing to keep up the unbeaten streak that they managed all of last season.

League president Michelle Sylvestre said there are a number of changes for this year.

For one, the league has expanded the amount of games to 26 this year. They’ve also added two new teams: Trail Bad News Betties and the Slocan Valley Vendettas will join the fray this year officially. Last year they played, but the games were only exhibitions.

Sylvestre, who plays for the Betties, suspects there will be some interesting rivalries this year. “I think we’ll have some competition from the teams that didn’t end up playing all season,� she said. “I think that’ll bring the level up for everyone .�

They will also be hosting the Western Regional Championships this year. “So it’s a pretty big season,� she said.

The teams began training in January, but Sylvestre said a lot of the teams keep up practice over the course of the off-season, from September to January.

The doors open at the Rossland arena at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 13, with first whistle at 6 p.m.

The date Tuesday April 24, 2012 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Salmo beats out Rossland in Earth Hour competition ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News

At participating McDonald’s® restaurants in Canada. ©2012 McDonald’s.

Rossland had a somewhat dismal effort when compared to other Kootenay communities in the Earth Hour challenge that took place last Saturday.

To participate residents had to pledge to turn off power and electronics over the course of an hour on Saturday.

The village of Salmo dominated the competition, surpassing the 100 per cent pledge per capita mark in the process. Kaslo and Crawford Bay were close behind with 96 per cent.

Rossland was near the bottom with a rate of only six per cent, though that was pretty good when compared to other West Kootenay cities, like Trail, with only 1 per cent and Castlegar with almost 3 per cent.

The competition was open to cities and towns in the Okanagan and Kootenays , with a goal of reducing electricity use over the course of one hour on Saturday, March 31, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

FortisBC sponsored the Earth

Hour challenge, calling it one of the largest environmental campaigns for the fourth consecutive year.

They encouraged the residents of the 17 communities to make a pledge to switch off all non-essential lighting, appliances and electronics.

“We credit the success of this year’s Earth Hour Challenge to the tremendous leadership shown by the participating communities and non-profit organizations,” Tom Loski, from FortisBC, said.

“They reached residents in their communities by engaging businesses, schools, libraries, recreation centres and more in the effort to spread the word about Earth Hour. FortisBC congratulates all of the communities for their efforts.”

By collecting the most pledges, per capita, Salmo earns not only bragging rights, but a $5,000 energy upgrade for the Salmo Public Library, their designated 2012 nonprofit recipient.

The Rossland Council of Arts and Culture was hoping Rossland could pull together to win the $5,000 to do an upgrade to the

Miners’ Hall, which is in need of some maintenance.

In total, over 6000 pledges to participate were registered with FortisBC, a record-setting number that is more than triple from last year.

This level of engagement resulted in a 1.7 per cent drop in electricity consumption, or 5.48 megawatts during Earth Hour, that’s equal to switching off approximately 90,000 60W incandescent light bulbs and represents an increase of 1.9 megawatts or 30,000 light bulbs over last year.

Since its inception in 1989, FortisBC’s PowerSense program has helped southern interior electricity customers save more than 425 gigawatt hours , enough electricity to power over 32,000 homes for a year.

As well, through its three-year, $80-million energy efficiency and conservation program, FortisBC will help natural gas customers eliminate more than 775,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, saving a total of 15.5 million gigajoules – enough natural gas for about 155,000 homes annually.

Update your Driving Skills and Knowledge

Bring Back the IRP for Over .08!

I spent more than 25 years policing in British Columbia, dealt with many impaired drivers and cleaned up their aftermath. When the B.C. Government announced the Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) program I was excited. Here was a chance to quickly deal a significant blow to those drivers who showed by their actions that they held other road users in no regard.

It was clear from the news stories that the program made a significant difference in the incidence of impaired driving and the crashes and misery that those drivers caused.

I was disappointed to learn that the design of the IRP with regard to those drivers whose blood alcohol level was over .08 did not measure up in our Supreme Court. The review provisions for those caught did not meet the requirements of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. OK, I thought, this is important and will be amended and back in use quickly.

We’re a few days short of four months later and not a peep from our government, so I sent a Tweet to Solicitor General Shirley Bond asking when the IRP would be back. “It will need legislative change” was the reply. Do you see a time frame in that answer? Neither do I, so I asked again, three times, and finally received exactly the same response.

This is not sufficient. If you feel as strongly as I do about this I urge you to contact your MLA and make your wishes known. We may save some lives.

Workshop aims to help native pollinators RDKB Woodstove Exchange Program ARNE PETRYSHEN

Rossland New Editor

How can you diversify your garden to accommodate and nourish native pollinators like bees?

Entomologist Lynn Westcott will be leading a workshop in Rossland on exactly that the subject and more next week.

Bees and other insects are very important in the pollination process and Westcott will discuss subjects such as effects of pesticides on the bee population and which types of flowering plants best support their nutritional needs.

The workshop will be held in the basement of the Rossland Legion next Thursday, April 12.

It’s for those who want to better accommodate the native pollinators, which help to pollinate many plants like fruit trees and other plants.

Hanne Smith, from Rossland Real Food is helping to facilitate the workshops, as well as taking part.

Smith detailed the subjects of the workshop, which will cover a broad expanse of pollinators and is for anyone interested in making their garden more bee friendly.

Westcott will detail the types of pollinators that live in B.C. and the types that are found around Rossland, as well as the habitat needs and what kind of plants they use for nectar and pollen.

She will also show how to build nests in blocks of wood for the pollinators.

“They’re out there pollinating all of the flowering plants including our food plants,” Smith said. “So they have a huge impact on the human population. We depend on them.”

Westcott will talk about pollinator populations and the problems they face, such as vulnerabilities to pesticides and their descending pollution numbers.

“She will also discuss what we can do to support them,” Smith said, adding that Westcott compiled a list of a lot of plants that are native to the area and could help stabilize the

pollinator populations.

The list details how people can create a mixture of plants in their garden that will sustain a variety of native pollinators, which Smith said is mostly made up of some 400 species of bees that inhabit B.C. “Some look more like flies than bees,” she said.

“Westcott is trying to show that they all have benefits and they don’t all come out at the same time of the season, so if we have plants in the spring, summer and fall, the new plants are providing for those pollinators.”

Westcott will also demonstrate how to build nesting habitats and how to maintain them, which Smith said is very simple.

The indoor portion of the workshop will later be followed by outdoor field days in June, when there are flowers blooming.

Smith has a background in agricultural research, so she said she is very interested in food production and all of the biological factors associated with it.

“I’m very aware that humans are dependent on other living beings for our livelihoods,” she said.

“We’re so intertwined, I think it’s really important to respect that and to be as good of neighbours with the other creatures we can to facilitate their survival.”

The workshop is Thursday April 12 from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Rossland Legion Hall basement and is free.

Not a penny more

At long last, the government has done something to get rid of that old relic from the past: the penny. The archaic coin has become increasingly useless over the years. In this day and age the only uses for the coins, which are often dirty and found in trashy back alleys, is as a means to transport contagion. Is that a good use? To allow microscopic parasites a method of transportation? We are paying 1.6 cents for every penny that’s made. Where does that “.6” cents go, but in a cloud of smoke in the air.

Picture the scenario. You go into a shop to buy something and find that oh, you don’t have a penny, well, everywhere you go there is a jar to take a penny or leave a penny. If you’re short take one, two or three, if you have some extra, throw them in this jar.

The States has it much rougher. There it takes a startling 2.4 cents to press a penny. While I’m sure there are a lot of people that would like get rid of a monetary currency that is worth more in raw material than it is in money, there are a lot of supporters for the penny in the states. For instances Abraham Lincoln is a well respected president and would lose his status of being on two denominations, the other being the five dollar bill.

We have no such issue here in Canada, after all, the Queen of England is on not just the penny, but all of our coins. I’m sure her highness could rest more soundly if she knew for a fact that her likeness was not being thrown around like leftover Halloween candy.

The only case that we see for the penny, is the prospect that charities that rely on penny jar donations will see a loss. But if that happens there is something that will take its place, and that’s the next coin that has no buying power: the nickle..

We want to hear from you.

What a lovely springtime sight to see: giggling children with baskets in hand, hunting for Easter eggs at school, at home, or around the neighbourhood. With the return of milder weather, an Easter egg hunt is a great way to celebrate this spring festival, and it is also a way for families to keep alive a very ancient tradition for future generations of children.

To organize an Easter egg hunt, buy some foilwrapped chocolates to hide high and low, or buy some empty plastic eggs from a dollar store and fill them with chocolates, candies, and other small surprises, such as erasers, Easter-themed stickers, whistles, and coins.

If you’d like to go one step further, you could include little notes in some of the plastic eggs. The children who find these eggs can claim special surprises by following the nstructions in the note. Make the directions as simple or as complicated as you like, depending on the age, of the children and how much time and patience you have to organize it all. You might lead them on a treasure hunt, or require them to mime an animal or sing a song.

Everyone will have fun enjoying these unforgettable moments. Excited children adore rushing to find their share of treats, parents have fun hiding eggs, and of course grandparents love to take photos of all the action. Just remember that it’s always best to organize this hunt for the morning, when everyone has lots of energy — especially Mom and Dad!

The Selkirk Trio will play the Rouge Gallery, on their expansive tour of the region, on Saturday April 14. The concert begins at 7:30 and tickets are $15. Above, from Left to right, Nicola Everton, Sue Gould and Jeff Faragher.

Selkirk Trio will play Rouge Gallery ROUGE MUSIC Submitted

On tour throughout the East and West Kootenays, the Kootenay based Selkirk Trio features a program highlighting the rich repertoire for clarinet, cello and piano.

With pianist Sue Gould living in Golden, cellist Jeff Faragher in Nelson and clarinetist Nicola Everton hailing from Rossland, finding a middle ground for rehearsals was the biggest challenge.

The three professional musicians are used to packing an intense punch with their rehearsals and concert tour which will cover

15 concerts in seven days, including 10 concerts for the Health Arts Society in extended care facilities throughout the region.

All three musicians are active chamber and orchestral musicians in B.C. and Alberta.

Everton was a member of the Vancouver Symphony for over 20 years and now joins principal cellist, Jeff Faragher in the Kootenay Symphony.

Susan Gould originates in Calgary, Alberta and has been performing as a pianist since her debut with the Mount Royal College orchestra at the age of eleven.

Outside of their busy performance schedule, music education is a passion for the trio.

Faragher directs the Obligato string program in Nelson, Gould the Young Voices Children’s Choir in Golden while Everton enjoys teaching privately, both adults and youth.

The varied program takes the listener on a musical journey and includes standard classics by Beethoven and Bruch, complex rhythms of Balkan composer Tajcevic, “Godfather” composer Nino Rota’s trio as well as jazz inspired works by Cuban composer Paquito D’Rivera and Cole Porter.

The Selkirk Trio will play the Rouge Gallery, on their expansive tour of the region, on Saturday April 14.

Avalanche hazard in backcountry is considerable STAFF WRITER Rossland News

The Canadian Avalanche Centre has a current warning of considerable danger on at least the alpine level.

As of Wednesday, the rating was considerable on all elevations, with the tree line and below treelike levels becoming moderate.

A considerable level is defined as “dangerous avalanche conditions.

Careful snow pack evaluation, cautious

route finding and conservative decision making essential.”

There has been a lot of avalanche activity according to the centre, with something like 100 centimeters of snow falling since March 26 and more on the way today and tomorrow.

The efficient family home in Rossland Get ready for allergy season.

ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News Editor

Despite the recent recession which had a negative effect on home buying all over, the developers of Evergreen Ridge in Rossland are optimistic at the outcome for their properties.

Dean Bulfone, who along with his brother are developing the subdivision, said that this was the worst recession since the great depression and it hasn’t been easy, but they are on track.

Bulfone said that what they are aiming to build is efficient, family-oriented housing with the hopes that will attract long-term residents to town, rather than only more seasonal oriented people.

On display in the development, is an EnerGuide 80 house that will be one of Rossland’s most efficient homes.

“We’re building the first Energuide 80 house for a client in the Trail and Rossland area,” Bulfone said.

He hopes that it will lead the way for others and meet the goals that Rossland has set out for in the Energy Diet.

The EnerGuide rating shows how efficient a house is and ranges from 0 to

CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF ROSSLAND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY SWIMMING POOL MANAGER – SUMMER POSITION (May – August)

100. A rating of 80-90 is deemed an “energy effiicient new house” by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Above 90, a house requires little or no purchased energy. The EnerGuide 80 house in Evergreen Ridge includes technology like air-source heat pump, drainwater heat recovery system and solar glazing on windows which can be customized to the climate. Bulfone explained that for Rossland the windows are made to absorb heat so that not as much energy needs to be used on heating.

The houses that meet Energuide ratings in that range can save 30-50 per cent per year on energy costs.

Next Joe Hill Coffeehouse will be an extra special show ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News Editor

The Joe Hill Coffeehouse had been facing its possible demise, with long time organizer Michael Gifford retiring from the voluntary position this spring. However, Gifford is now spreading the good news that there is a group who will be taking over the night of entertainment.

Gifford, who organized the first show in September of 2008, will be doing his last show next month, with show number 35.

“I wanted to make my final May show “something special”, but the timing of the performers involved required that we make it the April 15 show instead,” he said.

The April show will follow the basic format of all the other Joe Hill Coffeehouse shows - a $3 admission, intimate stage, volunteer helpers - but he said there will also be changes.

“I have invited many of my performer friends to contribute to the evening’s lineup,” he said. “Donations and the door proceeds will go to the performers, who are mostly from Nelson.”

The performers will also have CDs for sale.

The April show will have fewer sets, but they will be longer than usual. There will also be a dance area up front, so people will be encouraged to get up and dance.

Dancer Slava Doval will also sharing her skills for several of the tunes and the two opening acts will be shorter than those of the two guest bands.

The lineup for the show will be as follows: 1. “Licorice Corn” - old swing and pop favorites, featuring Nicola Everton - clarinet (licorice stick) and Michael Gifford guitar, ukulele, vocals and corn.

2. “Craig Korth, Julie Kerr & the Occasional Offspring” Craig is a monster banjo/guitarist, Julie (his wife) a great country/bluegrass singer, and their two daughters, Ella & Amy, play banjo & fiddle. A family band!

3. “Heavy Shtetl” with dancer, Slava Doval. HS is Catherine

Heavy Shtetl, along with dancer Slave Doval, middle, will be among the performances for the special Joe Hill Coffeehouse on Sunday, April 15.

Submitted photo McGrath - accordion, mandolin, vocals; Anneke Rosch - trombone, trumpet, vocals; Nicola Everton - clarinet; Michael Gifford - tuba..... Klezmer (Jewish), and tunes sung in Yiddish, Russian, French, German, maybe even English!

4. “Cattle Annie and The Crooked Corral” - western swing, old-timey, bluegrass and classic country. Members are Anneke (Cattle Annie) Rosch - accordion, vocals; Catherine (Cactus Kate) McGrath - mandolin, vocals; Genie (Gin Jeanie) Sittig - fiddle; Craig (Ranger Craig) Korth - banjo, guitar, vocals; Michael (Gut Bucket Giff) Gifford - string bass, washtub bass, vocals.

Gifford said they are all excited to perform in front of the Joe Hill Coffeehouse audience and hopes word spreads about the special night of eclectic music and deep talent.

The news that these won’t be the final two shows is also great for those who attend the monthly shows.

“We now have a team of four leaders who will be taking over the Joe Hill Coffeehouse series as a group,” he said.

They will start in on the June 17 show and carry on into the September show, which begins the season five series.

The show starts at 7 p.m. April 15, at the Rossland Miners’ Hall. Admission is $3.
