The museum building, which has housed firefighters, police, ambulance, civil defence, library and City of Rossland offices over the years, has been preserved through hard work over the past six years. Heier noted it is pre- served with some differences from when it opened — Probably most notable is the fact the doors swing inwards. Heier explained that these were c! from out- ward-swinging shortly after the building was built because of the snow in Rossland.

In returning the building to as original form as possible, the hose tower which housed Stella, the station's fire bell, was resur- rected to the top of the building Friday. A large crowd gathered to watch the tower (which will not house the actual bell because of the cost of making it structurally sound) being lifted into place by a crane and a large group of museum supporters. “The museum, like the first fire brigade in Rossland, started with a lot of volunteer help and not much money,” Heier said.

The finals in both the recreation- al and the competitive league went to two games in the double knockout tourney. In the competitive league, Woodland Park Shell needed to beat the still then undefeated T- Birds twice, and they did just that. The scores were 16-10 and 21-9. Gerry Schuepfer said the final two games were a fitting end to the friendly rivalry with the T- Birds all season “We were neck and neck with the T-Birds all year,” said Schuepfer.

In the 1991-92 fiscal year 327 women and children were housed in the four-bedroom home for a total of 2,152 bednights. It is always crowded, Cacchioni said, and sometimes a mother will sleep with two or three of her children in a double bed.

The furnace is inefficient for the size of the house and “we had three gas leaks in it last year.” The electric hot water tank does not meet the huge demands on it. Women who have left the house to live on their own, still come back to do laundry at a minimal cost. The dishwasher, needed to keep down the number of colds and flu that abound with sO many women and children, is mn constant use. The carpets are dingy and gray, impossible to keep clean. The linoleum is lifting off the kitchen floor and has to be tacked down with nails. The house needs paint inside and out. There are no Pprop- er fire extinguishers.

Cacchioni is really hoping business will donate some services, such as West Kootenay Power offering a cut on power as a community service, as well as Providing them information on their Power Smart program. “We also need labour and materials donated to us.” @ Seniors Continued from 7A released data on the increasing aging of our population.

Seniors want to Stay in their own communities, Close to family, friends and famil- lar surrounding.s When seniors have to enter a facility, the trau- ma of removal from their homes surely is sufficient, without mov- ing them from their community as well. This also places undue hardships on family members who wish to remain in close con- tact with parents and grandpar ents. Seniors, like others, do not want to be concentrated. It was Charlotte Whitton, a social work er, a feminist and, later, mayor of Ottawa, who first used the phrase “concentration camps” to tem porarily dispose of unwanted unemployed men during The Great Depression. It took Hitler to make the phrase infamous. At a time when we have an increas- ing population of older seniors, Mr. Conroy has stirred up a hor- nets’ nest if he thinks that fami- lies will take their seniors quietly, outside their communities, to where they are instructed by gov- emments because of a numbers game played in Victoria. Other- wise, when the time comes, Mr. Conroy may well be found a bed in Knuckleknee, NWT, where he will have no friends or relatives close by Elma H.

Keep your eye on the batter - William's third bagger Shelly Stoushnow (1) and Avenue EHS runner Anna Depretto both wait for the batters next move. Avenues won to send the finals to a second game. “The team motto is ‘Let's get out there and just have fun’,” he said. But don’t let that fool you. “Games can get intense, | but that can be fun.” Though no one ever enjoys loosing, T-Birds coach Ivan Salekin said the grudge match with Woodland Park was the best tourney his team has ever had. “We were just beaten by a better team - they are worthy winners for sure,” said Salekin. “We figured if we went up against them it would tell who's the better team.” He added that he was really Proud of the T-Birds, and the outstanding play by all of them. “I can’t say that any one per- son stood out - we won and lost as a team.” On the recreational side of slo-pitch, William's Moving and Avenue EHS battled it out. William's could have put the tourney away in the first game, but they just couldn’t overcome the EHS’ six run lead. The score was 14-12 In the second game, Avenues gave up a second inning 11 run lead. “You can’t come any closer [to elimination] than that,” said Bob Pakula, pitcher and spokesman for William’s. He said it was hard work and the family teams refusal to give up that led them to victory. Well that, and the fact that their bats came alive. “We finally started hitting and it kicked in,” he added. The coach of Avenues said the loss wasn’t all that bad for her team. “If we had to lose to any team, I’m glad it was William's,” said Maureen Sklap- sky. “They're a good team and they're fair.” She said that all the runs scored on base hits was the story of how good the teams were “We really don't feel like we lost,” said Sklapsky. “It took them two games to beat us and it came right down to the end.” All the work by the many vol- unteers made the victories, and the wind-up weekend possible. Some of those volunteers were: Tom Campbell, Kerry Szkica, Michelle Szkica, Dave MacKin- non, John Phillips and Bob Horst. eZ Picking up the hardware - a jubilant William's Moving team crowds aroung the awards table.
