COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 2019 | 11A Silk Creek Community Cemetery to host annual meeting May 9 Cottage Grove Physical Therapy welcomes new therapist, manager Kevin Holmes, DPT, OCS, has chosen to join the team of health professionals at the Cottage Grove Phys- ical Therapy Clinic located in the Safeway shopping center on East Main Street. Holmes received his Doc- tor of Physical Therapy De- gree from the University of Montana in 2011 and is certified as an Orthope- dic Specialist through the American Physical Therapy Association. Before undertaking a career in physical therapy, Holmes earned a bache- lor’s degree in commercial recreational administration from California State Uni- versity at Chico, Calif. Holmes has also worked as a wildland firefighter, river guide and outdoor outfitter. Cottage Grove Physical Therapy has been providing physical therapy services to the Cottage Grove commu- nity for 19 years. As a physical therapist and clinic manager, Holmes will be specializing in the development of individu- alized plan of care directed toward achieving specific outcomes desired by pa- tients and physicians. Holmes said his decision to come to Cottage Grove was based upon his “com- mitment to meet the phys- ical therapy needs of the community and to become the leader of an established team of highly respected therapy professionals.” Holmes enjoys spending time with his wife, Heather, and their two sons, Bridger and Bryce. In his free time, Holmes skis, rafts, moun- tain bikes, fishes and back- packs. Brittany Perkins , Hair Stylist History from A1 Brittany is off ering a Mother’s Day Special several special events throughout the year. Cottage Grove resident Alice Christensen joined the SCED board last year. When she learned the program had outgrown its present site, she suggested the Dr. Snapp House as a potential new lo- cation and arranged a meet- ing to explore the idea. The historic house, built in 1886, was built by an early local doctor. Today it is owned and maintained by the Prospec- tors and Gold Diggers Club. Club President Tom Mun- roe said the group has an agreement with the City of Cottage Grove and Lane County to use the house for educational programs. He said the mission of the Prospectors and Gold Dig- gers Club is “to prospect bet- ter things for Cottage Grove” so having SCEC offering its programs using the house is a good fit with the mission of both organizations. “It is important to teach students about our history,” Munroe said. “To be success- ful in the future they need to learn what happened in the past. We want to introduce young people to the tradi- tional values that, sadly, are not as commonplace as they once were.” Rainsong agrees. “When kids attend our programs it’s more than just having fun,” she said. “They learn great values such as perseverance, teamwork, honoring elders and respect- ing each other and the envi- ronment.” She says her committed volunteers and a few paid staff passionately share their love of nature and history with approximately 1,000 children and adults each year in meaningful and in- spiring ways. To introduce the Center to its new community and to promote its upcoming sum- mer camps, the SCEC will create a living history village in the “Bohemia City” Kids Zone in Coiner Park during the Bohemia Mining Days festival, July 18-20. “We will offer hands-on pioneering activities at a multitude of booths featur- ing weaving, games, crafts and petting a horse that paints pictures,” Rainsong said. “Some of the booths will have a small fee for the activity to help our organiza- tion raise money to fund the center’s ongoing expenses.” BMD Kids Zone Coordi- nator Misty Burris is delight- ed with the partnership and says it is a good fit for the festival, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. “Karen and Leslie (Gray- mer) have so many great ideas to provide a fun, in- teractive experience for children and families with lots of hands-on activities,” Burris said. “It’s a great fit with the BMD Board’s com- mitment to increase the cul- tural heritage aspects of the festival.” The summer camps in- clude visits from costumed interpreters like the medi- cine woman, the spinners, the trapper, “grandma” and more. SCEC offers month- ly home school classes for groups from September through May. Some of its favorite activ- ities include butter churn- ing, grain grinding, sewing, making puppets, learning pioneer games and songs, washing clothes, gardening, herbal walks and trading with the trapper. This year’s camps will be: Pioneer Settlers Camp, July 8-12 and repeats Aug. 5-9. A Lewis and Clark Adven- ture Camp is planned for Aug. 19-23. They are held on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for children ages 6-10 years old. Boys and girls are asked to bring their own lunches and a water bottle. The cost is $215 per week with a sibling discount avail- able. SCEC is a small organiza- tion with a $25,000 budget to pay staff and cover basic operating expenses. Rain- song said they are looking for volunteers to serve on the center’s board and com- mittees. They welcome do- nations to help with operat- ing expenses and to provide scholarships so all students can enjoy an opportunity to travel back in time.
