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.

able at www.singingcreek-

an internship, if someone
has a particular skill to share
or wants to financially con-
