Barbara began her fascination with Art as a child-encouraged by her parents and grandmother-all artists. In her youth she studied painting under Jack Shadbolt and increased her involvement with various mediums, stone, bronze glass, as they were presented.

Upon entering SFU-as it had no Fine Arts Department at the time, she began the study of Archaeology and Anthropology. Within this cultural immersion, she focused on the Cultural signatures of Ancient peoples and the markers of a successful civilization. These markers were most evident in the Cave Paintings and Pictographs, Pottery and Sculpture associated with a cultural site.

Barbara’s fascination with cultural design and style led her to study pottery and a passion emerged. She studied ceramic and sculptural technology and design at Capilano College-now Cap U. As a young mother this allowed her to apprentice and work at home and soon she began teaching.

Thirty years later, she has taught and inspired hundreds of students across Canada and many international students. She taught in Toronto, North and West Vancouver, Vancouver and Whistler. She began programs in Raku and established Art Cen- tres in Vancouver and Whistler. Barbara’s skill at Pottery Technology encompasses all skill levels and all firing methods. Barbara is now returning to her passion of creating Art and teaching Pottery and Sculpture.

Inspiring Health & Wellness Story

When Stevie Nicol decided to join the military, her biggest challenge was meeting the physical demands of basic training. “I’ve always been physically active but I wanted to take it to the next level and figured I would need help to push myself to the limits and beyond.” She was also seeking inspiration and a little boost to her self-confidence. To achieve her goals, Stevie hired Kirsten Roden as her personal trainer. “Kirsten was great. I did two sets of twelve sessions with her and I enjoyed every single one.” And Kirsten says, “I had so much fun working with [Stevie]; she has such high energy!”

For Stevie the most difficult exercise she faced at military boot camp was pushups. She would have to do at least nine, military style, with good form in order to pass. At the beginning this seemed an unobtainable goal, but with Kirsten’s guidance and support Stevie achieved her objective in just two short months! “Kirsten pushed me to my limits and past. I never thought I would be able to do some of the exercises, but I knew she wouldn’t have me do something I could not so I tried, and succeeded. I went from being able to do no proper ‘guy’ pushups to being able to do ten fairly easily and I could probably do a few more if I were to push myself.” From Kirsten’s perspective, “[Stevie] was willing to try anything I threw at her, often chanting ‘I don’t think I can do it!’ and every time she nailed it!”

Personal training also provided some unexpected benefits. As Stevie says, “I lost about ten pounds although I gained a lot of muscle so the weight loss itself is hard to judge. I lost…a total of six inches: two from my bust, two from my waist, and two from my hips. I was quite surprised… I hadn’t really been weighing or measuring myself too much…but was mostly going on how I was feeling, which was great. However, the psychological results are almost more astonishing to me than the physical ones. My confidence has grown with each passing week, not just because of my body changing but also because of all I was able to accomplish that I never thought possible. Just yesterday I went for a 20km bike ride. I would never have been able to accomplish that two months ago.”

Stevie’s long-term goal is to establish a lifestyle of fitness. “I started personal training because I wanted a good kick in the butt plus helpful advice for setting up different programs, different exercises and a way of maintaining it. I hired Kirsten because I knew I would need more motivation than…I could provide myself. It was totally worth every penny.”

“Overall I feel much better, look much better and enjoy exercising a lot more. It’s no longer a chore but something I enjoy.”

Kirsten has the last word: “Stevie has gotten so much stronger it’s quite amazing. I have no doubt she will continue to be successful!”

Pool closure Clean pools are fun pools!

Keep these things in mind the next time you visit the pool at Panorama: • Showers are required before entering the pools to wash off any dirt and body oils (BC Health Act). • Please use the washroom before entering the pool. • If you have children, ask throughout the swim if they need to use the washroom. • Parents are strongly encouraged to use swim diapers for their young children. Reusable and disposable child-sized diapers can be purchased at reception. • Caregivers are encouraged, where appropriate, to use swim diapers or adult pool pants for their children or clients.

Pool Closures are an inconvenience for everyone. If a pool is closed due to an accident, it will be closed for a period of 2- 4 hours.

It takes a little bit of effort from everyone to keep our pools clean and open! Thank you for your cooperation!

The arena staff will be wearing helmets. We hope you will be too!

Why wear a skating helmet? Skaters are at high risk for potential head injury due to the combination of being on a hard surface while balancing on a thin skate blade. The slippery surface of the ice also makes it very difficult to break a fall with one’s hands; therefore a skater’s head is more likely to hit the ice surface during a fall.

• Brain injuries are a serious concern because they are permanent injuries with lifelong consequences such as: fatigue, poor memory, chronic headaches and speech impairment.

• Helmets are known to be 85% effective in preventing and reducing the severity of brain injury.

• Even a “mild” brain injury more than doubles someone’s long-term risk for developing epilepsy.

• Injury is the leading killer of Canadian children and youth. 50% of all deaths from injury are from brain injuries.

• 30% of all traumatic brain injuries are sustained by children and youth, many of them while participating in sports and recreational activities.

Remember, most head injuries which occur while skating are not accidents, but predictable, preventable events. Be a role model: as parents, coaches and educators it is important to model safe, responsible behaviours like wearing a properly fitted helmet during skating and other sporting activities.

For more information, please visit www.thinkfirst.ca

We strongly recommend that everyone wear a helmet! If you forget your helmet, feel free to borrow one of ours. www.panoramarecreation.ca FALL 2010 73 Skating & Arena Activities
