Photo: Peter Jonker New Trail emergency department opens People who live in the Kootenay Boundary region can now access an updated emergency department (ED) at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) in Trail. “I am pleased to see this portion of renovations at KBRH open to patients. The emergency department and electrical redevelopment project significantly expands the KBRH ED – nearly tripling its size – addressing space challenges at the hospital to allow health-care workers the space they need to help patients,” said Adrian Dix, minister of health. “The Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital plays a central role in the health and well-being of residents living in West Kootenay Boundary, and now they have access the enhanced emergency care they need, when they need it.” The new ED features a technologically advanced trauma room, private patient exam rooms, new procedure rooms and plenty of natural lighting, specialized spaces to treat infectious diseases and to provide support for mental health patients and their families. The project also includes a new separate entrance for patients to access the ED. “The completion of the new emergency department at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital is incredibly important to the people of the region including the communities of Trail, Rossland and Castlegar. This is wonderful news for my constituents as they will be well served with improved care spaces in a larger and modern emergency department,” said Katrine Conroy, MLA for Kootenay West. To fund this project Interior Health committed $10.83 million, the West Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital District provided $7.22 million and the KBRH Health Foundation On Stands Now Your third annual Central Kootenay Farm & Food Directory, A project of the Central Kootenay Food Policy Council with the support of the RDCK, hit the ground this past weekend.

aised $1million for a total of $19.05 million. “Congratulations to the community and everyone involved in this project. Patients will find a comfortable and upgraded emergency department with natural light, bigger spaces and more privacy. Staff and physicians will have the ability to provide care to patients in a modern setting, ensuring they are receiving the best care possible. We are thrilled to see this new space available for patients,” said Doug Cochrane, Interior Health board chair. KBRH is a regional facility, responding to the needs of 80,000 residents in the Kootenay Boundary, offering specialized services, core medical services and advanced medical imaging services. The KBRH ED sees over 16,000 patients each year. “With KBRH being a regional hospital, this project was a top priority for our board. This new emergency department will allow for enhanced care during a time when patients most need it. With a focus on the safety and comfort of patients, their families and staff, the ongoing redevelopment of KBRH is very important to the residents of Trail and the entire area,” said Suzan Hewat, chair of the West Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital District. The KBRH Health Foundation ran a $1-million Emergency Department Campaign to help with the purchase of additional equipment for the KBRH ED and Electrical Project. “Raising $1million over the past two years is a significant accomplishment and we want to thank all of our donors for their extraordinary level of support,” said Lisa Pasin, director of development for the KBRH Health Foundation. “We are excited that the new emergency department is complete. These contributions from the community will ensure the ED is equipped to meet the needs of our patients and medical staff.” Work on the project continues as IH is creating space for mental health services and families by renovating the original ED which is anticipated to be complete in early 2021. The project is part of an ongoing redevelopment of KBRH which also includes a $38.8-million project to build a new ambulatory care wing and pharmacy. Marty Carew died 2 Sep 2019 (age 42) now with grandmother, Kaye Hominiuk died 30 Aug 2007 (age 85). Both held firmly and lovingly in the hearts of family and friends. Time Some days yesterday Never happened I wander blissful For a moment, forgetful Then reality looms, Like grey clouds Dimming the world With sadness And some days, bird song Lifts me up and mends A broken heart. ~ Poet: Norma Moll, Vernon, BC PEARSON, Roderick Murray (Mur) Mur passed away on August 19, 2020 at the age of 63 years while fly fishing at one of his favourite places, Fry Creek near Kootenay Lake. He was born on September 17, 1956 in Flin Flon, Manitoba. He was pre-deceased by his parents Elsie in 2008 and Frank in 2018. He is survived by his two siblings Jim and Nona and their families: Jim (Donna De Fraine) Pearson with son Ryan, and daughters MaryEllen (Andrew) Machuk with Mitchell and twins Heidi and Dominic, Melissa Pearson (Jon Ng) with Violet and Nathan, and Paula (Joe) Watkins with twins Philip and Pearson, and Nona (Doug) Flemming with Carly and Julie. He graduated from Grade 12 at Hapnot Collegiate before moving to Toronto with his parents in 1974 and starting to look for his purpose in life. He spent time in Ottawa, Cominco in Trail, T&H Sawmill and the golf course in Kaslo, University of Victoria and a golf course in Victoria, and Pitt River near Vancouver. He was not a big city person and he finally found his sweet spot outdoors with a 31 year career as the Custodian for the Meadow Creek spawning channel north of Kootenay Lake. Internationally, with his fluent Spanish he spent months of some winters playing baseball and teaching English in Costa Rica and Panama. He also worked construction in the Kaslo area for a number of winters. Mur was devoted to sports as an athlete and coach for most of his life. He played on some Flin Flon league champion hockey teams when he was quite young and he wished he had been named Brooks after his baseball idol, Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles. He was an extreme participant in baseball and hockey in Kaslo and also really enjoyed fly fishing. During the trip to Panama, he knocked on Chico Salmon’s door to talk about Chico’s career as an Oriole during their World Series years. His family knew he had many friends in Kaslo but the expressions of appreciation for his character and his participation in the Kaslo community have been overwhelming. Naming the Murray Pearson Ball Park is an honour to his memory and an honour for his family. He did his part for the environment by not owning a car for probably 40 years and although he had a casual awareness of technology, he never owned a phone or computer. He was always available for his friends and we would especially like to thank Lorna, Maggie, John, Karma and Glen for all their help at this time. Friends and relatives are invited to a Celebration of Life to be held for Murray in Kaslo on Saturday, September 26, 2020. Because of COVID-19 restrictions limiting groups to 50 people, the actual ceremony is planned to be held at the Murray Pearson Ball Park and it will be live-streamed to the internet and to other venues in Kaslo. Arrangements are still being made so please watch for details. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Kaslo & District Arena Association https://kasloarena.ca/ and the Kaslo & District Public Library https:// kaslo.bc.libraries.coop/ .
