Beautiful farm house on the outskirt of town!

Rossland Secondary School will be one of the first schools in British Columbia to delve into a new realm of learning called blended learning.

The goal is to provide per-sonalized and inquiry based learning in a blended learning environment, which will offer students a variety of courses, even within a smaller school environment.

Karen Lavender, the school’s new principal said that blend-

ed learning the new approach will only affect grades 10-12 at the school, as administra-tion switches to a 21st Century learning model.

The blended learning struc-ture leaves behind set timeta-bles and gives students a struc-ture of open resource areas and structured seminar times.

Lavender explained that what it will really be doing for the grade 10 to 12 is opening up their learning potential .

“Students will still take spe-cific courses and they will still come out with their course credits,” Lavender said. “They

will still be matching all of the learning outcomes required for each of the courses. What looks different is that instead of going to math class at a specific time on a specific day, the kids can pick when they do their math and they can pick when they do their phys-ed and they pick when they do their art.”

Students will have resource areas, a classroom with a teacher and 30 kids in it, she explained.

There will be a math/science resource area that will always have a teacher there.

“It will always be open, the

same thing with the English/Socials area,” she said. “The elective areas won’t be open all the time but it will show when it is open.”

Students will manage their time with the help of a facilitat-ing teacher, which will include when they’re going to take what course and how long it’s going to take them to finish the course. They will be able to take courses by semester, as they are currently do, or they can take them over the whole year span.

For example, if a ski acad-emy kid decided that they want

to have fewer courses through the ski season they can do that. They could focus their course time between September and the middle of November, and the beginning of April and end of June.

She said the students would still have courses through the ski season, but maybe just one or two.

“They can pace the course as they like, with the help of the facilitator who makes sure that their progress is continually moving forward and they’re not going to end up at the end of the year with a huge pile of

work on their plate,” she said.“Teachers will be resourcing the areas

available for one-on-one help. They’ll also be running seminars that kids can sign up for depending on the course. “

For some of the courses, like the physics and chemistry courses, the teacher is cur-rently putting some specific difficult lessons online. That way, the kids can go ahead in September and start watching some of the lessons on videos. Then they can go into the resource area and get the help on the prac-tice.

Instead of having the teacher teach the whole class and having the kids go home and do the practice, and maybe not understand it, they can prepare ahead of time. That way if they don’t understand it, they’re not stuck until the next day. “They can actually be at the school or at home or on the bus looking at the lesson and then get the help at the re-search area,” she said. “Every teacher will be doing it differently depending on the theme or topic or outcome.”

Lavender said some of the main benefits are that students will become far more inde-pendent learners.

With the help of a teacher advisor in the first couple years, she estimated they will be able to understand more of their own learn-ing styles: Where they need help; where they don’t need help; if they are procrastinators or not; and how to time manage better.

“So in terms of time-management and work ethic the students will learn a lot about themselves so that if they do go on to post secondary, they will be better prepared,” she said. “If you put yourself in a math class where you either completely understand or you don’t get any of it, the students who get it don’t need to stick in the classroom and listen to something. They can carry on and keep moving until they get to the point where they’re stuck and need a little more one on one support”

She said that the kids that are really strug-gling are sitting there getting more and more confused and lost in the subjects, as it is now. But with blended learning, they will be able to actually work through that stuff at the pace that they need so they can fully understand before they move on to the next subject.

Teachers at RSS have been meeting through the job action once a week on their own. The Rossland staff have been working on this model for a number of years, and this year there’s really been a push to get things moving, she said.

“One of the things that happen with this type of learning is the students are still re-sponsible for their learning outcome set out by the Ministry, but what changes is that in some courses they can meet the outcomes based on their areas of interest,” she said. “The content isn’t always told to them so

they can learn about something they want.”This model will also allow RSS to have

more variety of classes, and Lavender said they are offering more courses in September than was offered last year, with fewer kids.

Students will use Moodle, an online course management system, to organize their stud-ies. Though they will use online compo-nents, Lavender cautioned that it is not on-line learning, as traditional teachers will still be teaching. The online portion will just be a component of the course work.

Teachers will collaborate on planning, fa-cilitating and assessing student work while also working with students individually.

“This is the direction the ministry is start-ing to head in,” she said. “This is a forward move and I imagine that once we’re doing things people will think wow, this is where education needs to be “

Fortis BC will be at the Rossland Moun-tain Market this week to congratulate Ross-land on making the first Energy Diet a suc-cess.

Carol Suhan, FortisBC’s PowerSense Ser-vices manager will be presenting Mayor Greg Granstrom and Steven Ashe, Rossland Sustainability Commission chair, with a for-mal thank you.

“We’ll be officially breaking the diet by handing out free ice cream after the presen-tation,” said Nicole Bagdanovic, FortisBC representative. “People can also visit the For-

tisBC booth to receive a free laundry line.”They will also be presenting the prelimi-

nary results for the Energy Diet. Bagdanovic noted that Rossland residents

have achieved some impressive “losses” after six months on the energy diet.

The Rossland Energy Diet was started last fall when the Rossland Sustainability Com-mittee approached FortisBC for an “eco-vention.”

This came after the discovery that the average Rossland home consumed 36 per cent more electricity than the average home across the province.

The initiative led to the first ever com-munity-level energy diet, in partnership with the City of Rossland, the Sustainability

Commission Energy Task Force, Nelson and District Credit Union, Columbia Basin Trust and FortisBC.

The program offered participants a free initial energy assessment, as well as help connecting with local qualified contractors to do the retrofit work.

It also offered guidance on capitalizing on the LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive Pro-gram and the former Federal ecoENERGY incentive.

The event starts at 3 p.m. at the Rossland Mountain Market this Thursday, July 12. The market is located on Queen Street and First Avenue.

This is the ninth installment of a weekly update column courtesy of the city’s Columbia Project Communications Task Force.

This is going to be another big week in the downtown construction of Rossland.

Sidewalks will be removed on the north side of Columbia this week, working west from St. Paul to Spokane.

Next week, the south side will be done in the same manner, but moving west to east, once the north side is completed.

The work will be done outside of our stores’ business hours whenever possible.

Graciously, when it comes time to re-move the sidewalk in front of the Prestige, however, the Copcan crew will do so later in the mornings so as not to disturb any guest’s sleep.

Copcan has also decided to maintain business access to the stores with compacted gravel surface walkways as opposed to using millings.

Gravel will be much cleaner for the stores and not get tracked onto shops’ floors.

The Washington/Columbia intersection will be closed for the larger part of the next two or three weeks.

The Spokane St. and Queen St. intersec-tions with Columbia will be open intermit-tently over the next week or two.

The laneway entrances off Washington St, near the Washington/Columbia Ave inter-section, will be closed this week for storm and gas line upgrades.

Parking in the thrift store lot, Rossland Hardware lot and in Sourdough Alley will still be accessible via First Ave.

The change in pedestrian and vehicular flow will be directed by signage.

The first block of Washington Street will also still be accessible via First Avenue for the most part. Shop owners on Washington St will be notified in person and consulted.

The laneway between Subway and Fer-raro’s will be closed for a couple of weeks for a gas line upgrade.

The much maligned flashing overhead crosswalk sign at Washington St and Colum-bia Ave will be coming down this week…and will never be going back up!

This flashing overhead crosswalk sign went up in 2005 as a requirement of the Ministry of Transportation for all

crosswalks. The end product became a very unnatural

looking prop in the city’s otherwise beautifulskyline and the resultant Rosslander outcrywas loud and clear.

Due to the strong disapproval of Ross-landers, MoT did not put up any furtheroverheads and, in fact, ground off the paint-ed markings at the crosswalks of Queen St,Spokane St and St. Paul.

On the City of Rossland website, youcan now find new ‘fly-through’ videos ofwhat our finished downtown will looklike, renderings from six different perspec-tives and a diagram of current parkingavailable.

Please look for them at www.rossland.ca/columbiawashington-construction-updates.

office hours, welcoming drop-in visits tohim at Rossland City Hall from 10:30-11:30every Monday.

Beginning at noon Friday, all open fires will be prohibited within the Southeast Fire District, which includes the area around Rossland.

The Southeast Fire Centre is issuing the ban as summer weather heats up and the possibility of forest fires increases with it.

“The prohibition will remain in place until Sept. 19, or until the public is otherwise no-tified,” Karlie Shaughnessy, fire information officer, said.

“This prohibition covers all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not ap-ply within the boundaries of local gov-ernments that have forest fire preven-tion bylaws and are serviced by a fire department.”

The prohibition includes the burning of any waste, slash or other material, the burn-ing of stubble or grass and the use of fire-works or burning barrels of any size or de-scription.

This prohibition does not include camp-fires, gas or propane cooking stoves or bri-quettes, but does state that Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres in

size. People lighting a campfire must main-tain a fireguard by removing flammabledebris from around the campfire area andmust have a hand tool or at least eight litresof water available nearby to properly extin-guish the fire.

Anyone found in contravention of anopen fire prohibition may be issued a ticketfor $345. Report a wildfire or unattendedcampfire by calling *5555 on your cellphoneor 1 800 663-5555 toll-free.

The Rossland Public Library’s new library director just arrived in town last week and is excited about the prospects of working in Ross-land.

Katie Albright is very enthusi-astic about the future of Rossland’s library, as well as libraries in gen-eral.

She grew up in Halifax, did her undergraduate degree in Guelph, then made her way to Ottawa. From there she completed her masters in Sydney.

Albright saw the listing during her final semester in school and thought it would be nice to have something lined up when she was done.

So she applied for the job and while doing research on Rossland found that it looked like a young town, full of activities and with the ability to walk everywhere you needed to go.

“It’s a small town for me so that’s kind of exciting as well,” she said

Albright said that though she’s worked at academic libraries be-fore, this will mark her first time working at a public library, and also her first time in the director role.

It’s going to be a big adventure for me,” she said.

She just finished her masters in April in the field of library science.

“I think there are a lot of young librarians out there looking to change the per-ception of what a librarian is and what a library can be,” she said, adding that of course there are older li-brarians who believe in the same thing.

She also noted the num-ber of youth in town and young families.

“There are so many young people in this town and so many kids that come into use the library that I think it will be great,” she said.

The library started up summer reading programs, which run all summer and are organizing sev-eral author visits in the fall, includ-ing the One Book One Kootenay winner.

When asked about how libraries will adapt and deal with changing technology, Albright said that li-braries will strive to be at the fore-front.

“We were one of the first places

to offer public access to computers (back in the day) and if you don’t know how to use your devices, we’ll show you how to use them,” she said, saying that they can help with iPads and mobile devices.

“We’re pretty big adopters of technology, so I think our role is to change that perception that we’re

only here to get a smelly paper-back.”

B.C. libraries also has the Over-drive program for audio books, so you can legally download audio books on your iPhone or iPad.

The library also offers free wire-less internet, which she said is a community service.

“I’m a firm believer in the public good. and it’s cheaper that way,” she said. “Plus, if they don’t have the book that you’re looking for, they can do an inter-library loan to get the book from any library in the province.”

Albright explained that libraries in B.C. are guided by the library act.

“The library director reports to the board and implements the policies that the board adopts, so it’s a lot of administration and book ordering and suggesting policy that the board adopts,” she

said. “It’s also being the advo-

cate in the community and with the larger B.C. library and international library networks.”

She said she wants to see how the library can get more involved with city council and other associa-tions.

“That’s going to take a lot of meeting people and

talking to people and seeing what they want the library to be and how we can change our acquisi-tions and programs to suit what people want,” she said.

She also wants to get into the ac-tive spirit of Rossland.

She has so far only cycled in the city, but had her cruiser bike stolen during her last week in Sydney.

That didn’t seem to slow her down though.

“I see that as my getting rid of my urban cycling and getting into my downhill biking spirit,” she said.

The Summer Brochure can be viewed online, at www.

If you’re wondering about the pool schedule, the June schedule is in the brochure on page 4 and the July/August schedule is on page 5. There are lots of great recreation programs running over the summer. If you have a young person in the house who’s looking for something to do, please check out the recreation brochure for inspiration.

With summer on its way, many of us will spend time enjoying ourselves at one of our nearby lakes. Many of us will spend time watching or observing other peo-ple swimming and a few of us will have the unpleasant experience of dealing with a potential drowning. So that you’re familiar with what drowning looks like, the recreation department thought it a good idea to review some basics.Why? Because drowning doesn’t look like drowning! Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing, and yelling that dra-matic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for, is rarely seen in real life.

“The new captain jumped from the cockpit, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former life-guard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the owners who were swimming between their an-chored sportfisher and the beach. “I think he thinks you’re drowning,” the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other and she had screamed but now they were just standing, neck-deep on the sand bar. “We’re fine, what is he doing?” she asked, a little annoyed. “We’re fine!” the husband yelled, waving him off, but his captain kept swimming hard. ”Move!” he barked as he sprinted between the stunned owners. Directly behind them, not ten feet away, their nine-year-old daughter was drowning. Safely above the surface in the arms of the captain, she burst into tears, “Daddy!”

How did this captain know, from fifty feet away, what the father couldn’t recognize from just ten? Drowning is not the violent, splashing, call for help that most people expect. The captain was trained to recognize drowning by experts and years of experience. The father, on the other hand, had learned what drowning looks like by watching television. If you spend time on or near the water, you should make sure that you know what to look for whenever people enter the water. Until she cried a tearful, “Daddy,” she hadn’t made a sound.

To get an idea of just how quiet and un-dramatic from the surface drowning can be, consider this: It is the number two cause of accidental death in children,

age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents) – of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In ten percent of those drowning’s, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening.

Signs to look for that a person is distressed in the wa-ter, include the following; Head low in the water, mouth at water level; head tilted back with mouth open, eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus, hair over forehead or eyes; trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway; not using legs – the body is vertical in the water; eyes closed; hyperventilating or gasping; try-ing to roll over on the back; hands are coming out of the water in a “ladder climb” fashion. (source: CDC)

Aqua Tot at the Rossland Pool is a great time for Par-ents with infants and toddlers to socialize while intro-ducing safe and enjoyable water time to the little ones. Aqua Tot lessons are offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m.- 12 p.m. Lessons will cover buoyancy, movement, floating, gliding and swimming skills while enjoying active water play. Parents can enjoy coming as often or as little as your summer schedule permits. With the park located right next door, prolonging the social time to include lunch in the park, is a great way to enjoy summer with other parents of young children.

If you have a young person in the house who’s inter-ested in film and movie making, the “Lights, Camera, Action” Film Camp is scheduled for Tuesday August 7 to Friday August 10 from 9:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. The camp will teach story development, film-making and editing and result in a completed project to premier for friends and family in an exciting “wrap up” showcase. Students will benefit from the development of new skills, group work, teamwork and leadership skills.

Private swimming lessons at the Rossland Pool are possible, depending on the scheduled activities that are going on. If you’re interested in private lessons, please speak with the recreation department or the pool staff to discuss available times.

The Bronze Cross at the Rossland pool is being of-fered July 30-Aug. 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. This course is designed for lifesavers who want the challenge of more advanced training, including an introduction to safe supervision in aquatic facilities. The Bronze Cross is a prerequisite for all advanced training programs, including the National Lifeguard Standard, (NLS) and Instructor Certifications. The prerequisite for this course is the Bronze Medallion.

Summer is finally here, and with it will sprout up the flowers and plants of the gar-den, as well as those wild ones.

Gone are the soggy lands and molded mushrooms that this long rainy spring has brought us.

It’s a great time to get out and explore the hills and mountains around the area, if you can stand the heat that is.

They will be green and beautiful for a while and there is still not much smoke in the air from the fires that will be coming this season.

The hiking trails are finally starting to dry up and the biking trails are beginning to lose their snow cover.

With temperatures hitting high 30s this week, that may not be the most wise option.

The surrounding lakes and beaches in the area, from the Columbia River to Violin Lake and Christina Lake, are starting to warm up, though at most of those places there is still not much beach available.

Fishing the rivers still doesn’t promise the likelihood of the big catch, but it may soon.

The important thing is to get out and en-joy the sun, but remember to pack things to protect you from it.

It’s been a long rainy season, so we deserve a little sun to dry out those wet boots, get in a hammock and sleep the heat away.

Summer finally heating things up in Rossland

The city released photos of what the finished Rossland street scape will look like.

The computer generated images show the spa-cious angled parking down Columbia Avenue, as well as the short flowers and plants that will crown each corner.

They also show the widened crossings, un-adorned by any crossing lights.

They also give an idea of what Washington Street will look like, with parrallel parking on the West side of the street and stall parking on the east side, almost unchanged from how it was.

The soon to be unveiled statue of Olaus Jeldness can be seen on the corner of Columbia and Wash-ington and across the road Henry Lafavre Square is widened onto the street.

Letter: Thanks to charitable residents of Rossland

When people give of their time, their energy and their heart, they deserve special recognition and a personal thank you.

The residents of Rossland and the Canadian Cancer Society vol-unteers who sold daffodils, daffodil pins and went door to door exem-plify those people.

The Rossland Unit of the Cana-dian Cancer Society raised $13,346 in the April door-to-door cam-

paign and $2,375 during Daffodil Days.

Monies raised provide: caring, practical and personal support to people living with cancer in the Kootenay region; critical cancer prevention initiatives through pub-lic education, health promotion, community action and advocacy for healthy public policy that make healthier choices, easy choices, and the very best cancer research in

CanadaOnce again, our sincerest thanks

with the hope that we will continue to help lessen the impact of cancer on individuals, families and com-munities.

DISTINCTIVE HOME DECOR FOR INDOORS OR OUT

SINCE 1990

The best vacations lift us out of the frenzy of our lives, whisking us off to faraway places that relax and rejuvenate us. Yet a great vacation can also be a great fi nancial strain as well -- and really, how relaxing is that? Especially since once the trip is over, there’s typi-cally little to show for all the expense beyond a few snapshots you can post on Facebook.

So how do you meet the pressing need for a stress-reducing change of scenery without wiping out your savings in the process? The solution may actually be simpler, and closer, than you think: Open your own back door, and begin imagining the leisure possibilities right beyond your doorstep! Instead of throwing a bunch of money at a short-term get-away, consider investing a portion of it into transforming your back yard into a personal relaxation oasis.

Homeowners annually spend billions of dollars improving outdoor living areas. One of the most popular ways to do just that is to add a deck to a home. Decks are benefi cial in many ways. Grillmasters love decks because they make the perfect place to set up a grill and a table and cook for family and friends. Those who simply love being outdoors fi nd decks the perfect place to relax and soak up some sun or idle away the evening hours.

But homeowners who want to build a deck should know a few things before that process begins.

* Permits are necessary. Unless the deck is going to be especially small, you will likely need a permit to build it. Before buying any materials or consulting any contractors, make certain you know which permits you need and how to get them. If the proper permits are not secured before the project begins, you might have to tear down the whole project and start all over again.

* Decks don’t have to go on the back of the house. If the back of your house sits in the blazing sun all day, then it’s probably best to build the deck elsewhere, and that’s perfectly alright. So long as the property and permits allow, decks can be built on the side of a home as well, and putting a deck on the side might be more comfortable.

* Decks don’t have to be made of wood. It’s easy to assume all decks are made of plain wood. However, decks can be made out of a wide variety of materials, natural or synthetic. Pressure treated wood is perhaps the most popular material for decking because it’s not very expensive. But manmade materials that are a mixture of recycled plastic and wood bits or sawdust are also popular because they require no maintenance. But homeowners should know that manmade materials can get hot in the sun, which will require those enjoying the deck to wear shoes.

* Expect to do some digging. If you’re going to build your own deck, expect to do some serious digging. Local building codes will dictate how deep you will need to dig for the pier footings, which support the deck’s weight. Just how deep you’ll dig depends on your climate’s specifi c frost line, but it’s safe to assume you’ll get a workout in when digging.

* The deck can have multiple levels. Though many people associate decks with one level, it’s possible to have a multi-level deck if you simply don’t have enough room to build a deck that will be big enough to meet all of your needs. A multi-level deck can break up those long fl ights of stairs while ensuring you will always have somewhere to go to escape the sun on a hot day.

* You will want to protect the deck. Decks are a costly investment, and you will want to protect that investment. If you’re building a wood deck, keep in mind the sun will beat down on the deck for most of the year. You can protect the deck by painting it. Paint provides sunscreen for the deck, stopping the sun from breaking down the material. Once you’ve fi nished painting, apply sealant, whether it’s oil- or water-based.

* Don’t forget fasteners. Fasteners will hide the screws for aesthetic appeal. But not all woods and fasteners are the right fi t, as certain woods are only compatible with certain fasteners. Find out which fasteners make the right fi t ahead of time. Because fasteners conceal the screws, they also make it possible to go barefoot on the deck.A deck makes a great addition to many homes, but homeowners should learn as much as possible about decks and what goes into building them before making any decking decisions.

Outdoor living spaces have become increasingly popular over the last several years. The home improvement boom has shown many homeowners just how easy it can be to transform a home into a private sanctuary that caters to the personalities of the home’s residents.

Outdoor living areas have become an extension of the home’s interior, with many hom-eowners creating outdoor living rooms and dining areas so they can relax and eat meals outside just as they do indoors. But homeowners thinking of creating outdoor living spaces should consider a few tricks of the trade before beginning their projects.

* Strategically place the space. Property often dictates where the outdoor living space will go, but it helps to keep in mind that the outdoor space is more likely to be used if it’s easily accessible from the inside of the home. For instance, if residents need to walk out the front door to access an outdoor living space in the backyard, then residents might fi nd the area is too inconveniently located and they won’t make the most of the space. Whenever possible, plan the outdoor living space so it’s easily accessible from the home’s interior, preferably from the kitchen so it will be easier to carry meals outdoors when dining outside.

* Emphasize comfort. Many homeowners look at their outdoor living areas as places to kick their feet up and relax, so comfort should take precedence when planning the space. Forgo the plastic patio chairs of yesteryear for furniture that’s more sturdy and roomy so you won’t feel cramped or sweaty on warm summer evenings and afternoons. In addition, don’t forget to shade the area. Some homeowners choose to build pergolas, but oftentimes an umbrella or two can do the trick at a fraction of the cost. If the outdoor living area is near trees, they might provide suffi cient shade from the often blistering summer sun. But keep a few umbrellas in the garage just in case.

* Illuminate the area. Summer nights spent relaxing in the outdoor living area make for great memories. But such nights are nearly impossible if the area doesn’t have some lighting. Tiki torches might do the trick for some, while others who want to avoid giving their outdoor area a luau feel might prefer solar-powered accent lights, which won’t re-

quire any wiring. If your backyard attracts its fair share of insects, look for insect-repelling lights or lamps. Whatever your preference, don’t forget to have some lighting so those summer evenings spent under the sky don’t have to end when the sun goes down.

* Keep the design consistent with your home. In addition to providing an outdoor respite from the daily grind, an outdoor living space can also increase a home’s resale value. However, homeowners who have one eye on R&R and the other on resale value should keep the design of their outdoor living space consistent with their home. One of the goals when designing an outdoor living space should be to create a seamless transition from the home’s interior to its exterior. The best way to do that is to keep the designs of both living spaces consistent.

* Don’t forget the fi re pit. A fi re pit provides a great focal point for an outdoor living area. Instead of sitting at the dinner table, families and friends can gather around the fi re pit and relax with some s’mores and share stories. But even when guests aren’t coming over, a fi re pit makes for a great place to relax and let the time go by.With more and more homeowners transforming their homes into their own private sanc-tuaries, outdoor living spaces continue to grow in popularity. By employing a few simple tricks of the trade, homeowners can create the outdoor areas of their dreams.

When the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin in London, there are a number of Canadian athletes who will remember their first multisport experience at a BC Games.

Twenty-four athletes on the Canadian Olympic team started their journey to London with a trip to the BC Games in-cluding 2008 Olympic gold medalist Carol Huynh (Wrestling), and recent Giro d’Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal (Cycling).

As part of the athlete development path-way, the BC Games are a first multisport experience for young athletes that lead to-wards provincial and national teams and ultimately the Olym-pic or Paralympic Games.

The BC Games are part of a strong provincial sport system that provides an outstanding training environment and support services for high performance athletes.

Forty per cent of the Canadian Olympic team live or train in B.C.

Shot-putter Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops is one of Canada’s great medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic Games.

He is a shining ex-ample of a B.C. athlete who has developed to international success with support through all the stages of the athlete pathway.

Involved at a young age with the Kam-loops Track and Field Club, he represented the Thompson-Okana-gan Zone at the 1995 and 1996 BC Summer Games.

Success as part of

Team BC at the 2001 Canada Games was next beforewinning gold for Canada at the 2007 and 2010 PanAmerican Games.

All eyes are on this BC Games alumnus to bet-ter his fourth place finish from the 2008 OlympicGames.

Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is another med-al contender in London.

H a y d e ncompeted at the1998 BC Sum-mer Gamesand reflected,“The BC Sum-mer Gameswas the pointin my careerwhen I realizedthat I had thepotential to gofurther.

It was soonafter that thatI decided toswitch frombeing a sum-mer swimmerto training allyear round. Itis clear that I

wouldn’t have noticed my own potential without theBC Summer Games.”

The full Paralympic team will be named later thissummer but, former BC Games athletes Bo Hedges ofFort St. John (Wheelchair Basketball) and Adam Ra-hier of Powell River (Swimming) will be part of theteam.

Over 2300 athletes between the ages of 10 and18 will be at the 2012 BC Summer Games whichkick off just one week prior to the start of theOlympics.

It is an inspiring experience that will ignite thedreams of many young athletes to pursue their sportto the highest level.

A veteran of the Canadian Women’s Soccer team,Karina LeBlanc from Maple Ridge remembered, “Itwas an amazing experience because I did dream ofone day being at the Olympic Games and it was theclosest thing for me to it, so it made me want to bethere that much more!”

Watch for the next generation of Olympians andParalympians at the 2012 BC Summer Games, July19-22.

See the complete list of BC Games alumni headingto London at www.bcgames.org

Interior Health is expanding its use of voice recognition technology for physician reports at its hospitals, which will include the one nearest to Rossland, Trail Regional Hospital.

The new software translates spo-ken words into text, and will result in both cost savings and quicker report turnaround times.

“This technology will allow Interi-or Health to meet the ever increasing demand for transcription services, while taking advantage of technol-ogy that will result in improved turn-around time for vital patient care

information,” says Interior Health board chair Norman Embree.

Voice recognition technology, also known as “automatic speech recog-nition”, “ASR”, “computer speech recognition”, “speech to text”, or just “STT”, allows patient information to be available at different points of care more quickly and efficiently.

This is particularly important in cases when time is of the essence and multiple care providers are involved, such as trauma patients or those who are critically ill.

“Our goal is to be both innovative and efficient in the delivery of high quality health care,” says Mal Griffin, Interior Health representative.

“By introducing this technology across the health authority, we will achieve over one million dollars in

savings and better turnaround time for vital physician reports.”

The process for physicians dictat-ing notes remains unchanged — the improvements happen behind the scene.

Traditionally, once a physician fin-ishes dictating their notes an audio file is sent to a transcriptionist, who listens to the recording and types up the report.

The turnaround time for this tra-ditional transcription service varies from about 24 to 72 hours. With voice recognition technology that time is expected to improve by 30 percent.

A transcriptionist still reviews the automatically produced text file, edits it if required, and saves the document to the patient’s electronic

medical record. Quality measures are built in and if

required a transcriptionist will listen to the original audio file, transcribe and save the document.

Through this editing process the “smart technology” learns to better recognize the particular physician’s voice and speech patterns.

“Many of our physicians have been asking for this technology. We expect the benefits will be signifi-cant,” says Dr. Michael Ertel, medical director for Emergency Services and Critical Care Transport advisor for Interior Health.

“For example, if a complicated trauma patient was seen and initially resuscitated at Kootenay Boundary Hospital, and then transferred to one of our tertiary care trauma centres,

voice recognition would enable theoriginal Emergency Departmentphysician’s initial critical care sum-mary to be available to the acceptingtrauma doctor much more quickly.”

Interior Health successfully imple-mented voice recognition technologyto support physicians in DiagnosticImaging in spring 2011.

Ground work to further expandthe technology will commence thismonth and the software will be in-troduced at nine locations, startingin September.

The locations include: WilliamsLake, Kamloops, Trail, Nelson, Kel-owna, Vernon, Salmon Arm, Pentic-ton, and Cranbrook.

Implementation across thesesites to support the health authorityshould be complete by spring 2013.
