Facebook13Tweet0Pin0submitted by Mason General Hospital & Family of ClinicsThe Washington State Hospital Association presented District Commissioner Scott Hilburn with its inaugural Ben Lindekugel Governance Excellence Award at the association’s annual meeting, October 9, at the Hyatt Regency in Renton. Hilburn has served as an elected commissioner for Public Hospital District No. 1 for 18 years. The District oversees Mason General Hospital & Family of Clinics. Please join us in congratulating Commissioner Hilburn.The Ben Lindekugel Governance Excellence Award was created this year to recognize a hospital board member or commissioner who has displayed exemplary leadership and community service. The award was named after the late Association of Washington Public Hospital Districts Executive Director Ben Lindekugel, who was dedicated to ensuring good governance among hospitals across Washington.“Scott has been a tremendous commissioner who cares deeply about his community,” said Cassie Sauer, WSHA president and CEO. “Scott represents the very best in hospital governance: a passion for his community, commitment of his time and attention, and a dedication to finding solutions to challenging problems. We are excited to honor him with this award.”Growing up, Scott Hilburn didn’t feel a strong sense of community — his father’s career in electronics and the emerging television markets meant the family moved throughout the country most of Hilburn’s childhood. He went on to earn a business degree from the University of Oklahoma and then serve in the U.S. Navy from 1964 to 1966. Ford Motor Company recruited Hilburn to the company’s executive training program, which brought him to Shelton to oversee a struggling auto dealership.Hilburn ended up purchasing a dealership, and he found the community he didn’t know he was looking for. He planted roots in Shelton in 1971, and since then, he hasn’t looked back. He went on to grow his business and raise his two sons with his wife, Karen Hilburn.In the 1980s, Hilburn served on the District’s Board of Commissioners for six years, but the organization was very different then compared to now. Seeking new challenges, Hilburn went on to serve as mayor of Shelton. He also became active in many other organizations in the community, including the Noon Kiwanis Club, the Mason County Intergovernmental Council, the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce, which honored him as a Citizen of the Year, and the Economic Development Council of Mason County.Hilburn co-founded the Karen Hilburn Cancer Fund in 2004, to financially support underinsured and uninsured Mason County women for treatment of breast and cervical cancers. His work with the Fund, a chapter of Mason General Hospital Foundation, brought him in the orbit of the Hospital District once again. He has served on the board for nearly 12 years.“The change in the Hospital stands out,” Hilburn said of what’s changed during his two tenures. “We’ve made big strides in our quality delivery system. We’ve improved in nearly every way at the Hospital, from reduction in patient falls to fewer patients getting infections after surgery. The staff also receives more training and we have new equipment. It truly feels like a new day for Mason General.”Hilburn’s favorite thing about the District is its people.“At Mason General, when we accomplish something really special, it’s because we have a team of leaders all working together to achieve a common goal,” he said. “I am thankful to our CEO Eric Moll, my fellow commissioners, Gayle Weston and Don Wilson, and to Karen, my wife, who supports my mission to make our Hospital the very best it can be.”MGH&FC is certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and is a licensed and accredited acute care hospital with a level four emergency trauma designation. There are more than 100 physicians on staff in 19 specialties. MGH&FC now offers 3D Mammography Services and Virtual Care 24/7.

Powered by Firework Shoaib Akhtar, the former Pakistani pacer, was all praise for the Indian youngsters after their resounding victory over Pakistan in the semi-final of the ongoing U-19 World Cup in South Africa. The Priyam Garg-led Team India brushed aside their arch-rivals with a comprehensive 10-wicket victory at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom on Tuesday, after a fantastic display by the bowlers (Sushant Mishra, Kartik Tyagi and Ravi Bishnoi) saw the Pakistanis collapse for just 172; while openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Divyansh Saxena easily chased down the target with 14.4 overs to spare.Advertisement The Rawalpindi Express lauded the ‘Boys in Blues’, declaring that the future of Indian cricket is in safe hands. He also criticised Pakistan’s fielding efforts and said that his country did not deserve to reach the finals of this prestigious tournament.Advertisement “They (India) won it and won it comprehensively. This Indian team deserves praise and they must be told that there are some players in your team who will surely represent India in the future. I am very happy to see that India’s future is in the right hands,” Akhtar said in his YouTube channel.“Congratulations to the Pakistan U19 team for reaching the semis. It was a good effort but not good enough to take you to the finals. It was a pathetic fielding performance by Pakistan. Despite being U19, can’t you put in dives while fielding? They did not deserve to be in the finals but on the other end congratulations to India for winning the semis” he added.Advertisement But the pacer heaped high praise for Jaiswal, who struggled against all odds to reach the Indian team and is being hailed as one of the most exciting prospects of the country.“India’s boy Jaiswal, he left his village to come to Mumbai and used to sleep in milk dairies. He has scored two centuries in U19 cricket. Jaiswal used to sell pani-puri in the morning. He sold pani-puris to his teammates to have food on his plate.”“Imagine this kind of a guy, who will be street smart and will fight for his place. Rajasthan Royals bought Jaiswal and remember my words that Jaiswal is going to go places. He has the power, passion and interest for the game. He will represent the senior team; this is a guarantee.” “Pakistan players need to learn from Jaiswal’s history. He is running behind excellence and money is running behind him now,” the former Pakistan speedster said.With this victory, India marched into their second consecutive World Cup final and will face either Bangladesh or New Zealand in the final on February 9 at Potchefstroom.

The Rhythm Ropers had a very successful Provincial championships Saturday and Sunday at the L.V. Rogers Hangar in Nelson.The club this year had several new skippers who were competing in their first competition.They started out the weekend by placing second in the 14-and-under large group category, which was great since their average age was only 10 years and it was their first time in large group.The senior skippers then went out and skipped and amazing large group choreographed by Darren Fuss. This continued the RR domination in large group. On the small team day the teams continued to find success.The Candy Cane Ropers of Ashleigh MacLean, Sophie Packham, Lauren Robertson and Lauren Hartridge took a first in the four-man and had several second and third place finishes to end up second overall in the 8 and 9-year-old division. The team was closely followed by the Rockin Ropers of Kaitlyn Fitchett, Willa Morrison, Amy Schellenberg and Elli Southam. Morrison and Fitchett led the group to a third place overall finish by placing first in their duo.The club has two 10-11 year old teams. The young team of the Lollipop Ropers consisting of Ella Pelosa, Abby Jackson, Emily Schellenberg and Sierra Jones placed third overall. Frankie Pierce, Makayla Shaw, Kalina Spurge, Michelle Oudemann and Kayleigh Foxcroft, known as the Funky Monkeys, placed fifth overall and did an excellent job on their Double Dutch Single freestyle placing first.The Ropers of Kyle Poulin, Jordan Mulvihill, Ashley McKen, Danielle Solari, Tessa Exley burned up the four-speed events taking four firsts and set four new records while placing first overall. They had the highest freestyle scores of the tournament in both their double ditches and four-man. The young SPF team of Joscelyn Koehle, Bradley Spurge, Lillea Goian and Emily Musa place second overall . They were led by a strong duo result by Joscelyn and Bradley.The Raging Rapid Ropers comprised of Kate Exley, Christina Musa, Larissa Napora, Courtney Craig and Dana Knapik competed in the 18 + category and took firsts in Double Dutch Pairs Freestyle, Double Dutch Single Free four-man Freestyle and Double Dutch Pairs Speed. They met the challenge from the very experienced Isensation from Abbotsford. At the end of the day they had to be happy with a second overall as Abbotsford beat them by one point.Coach Brenda Reid was “impressed with the clubs results, especially since it is a rebuilding year as they have so many new skippers.”“The new skippers had progressed very well and so they did not skip as Rookies for the usual two years but instead went straight into the National Stream.”The senior skippers had regrouped after last years Worlds as some of our senior skippers had moved away and some were now in the workforce. This was to be a year to adjust to the new combinations and begin to excel for next year which is another World’s year. So the results showed us that our combinations are very strong. On Sunday the Rhythm Ropers participated in the Master Events which are all single or solo type events- 30 sec. speed, 3 minute endurance skip, double and triple unders and a solo freestyle routine to music.In the mainstream, which are the skippers trying to earn a berth to the nationals the following skippers qualified. 7 and under – rookie Jessica Fitchett won ribbons in three events. 8 and 9 year olds – Ella Pelosa, Lauren Hartridge, Abby Jackson, Sophie Packham10 and 11 year olds – Kalina Spurge and Michelle Oudemann as the alternate12-14 year olds – Bradley Spurge 15-17 year olds – Ashley McKen, Tessa Exley, Larissa Napora, Dana Knapik, Christina Musa, Jordan Mulvihill and Kyle Poulin18+ Kate ExleyIn the Rookie Category several skippers did well in particular Joscelyn Koehle, Kaitlyn Fitchett, Willa Morrison, Amy Schellenberg, Elli Southam, Makayla Shaw, Frankie Pierce and Kayleigh Foxcroft.Most of the jumpers skipped their goals and personal bests in the speed and power events Sunday so I was pleased with their results. There are 13 events over the weekend so keeping every one in the zone and mentally prepared when the events come so quickly is a challenge for the coaches. It helps to have a bag of tricks you can call on because different things work with different jumpers. Junior coaches Krista Maida and Baily Smith were great at assisting with the physical and emotional prep of the younger jumpers. At the end of the day on Sunday Kyle Poulin challenged The triple Under record which he had set at Records Day and succeeded in breaking it. The old record had been consecutive triples and he set a new record of triples in two minutes.Some other notable results had Sophie Packham winning the freestyle in the 8-9 category but closely followed by fellow teammates – Abby Jackson taking second, Lauren Hartridge taking third, Ella Peloso in fourth, Lauren Robertson sixth. Michelle Oudemann in her first year of skipping took second out of 27 skippers in 10 -11 freestyle. Tessa Exley took the third place in 15-17 category which was great for her first year in that division. Her sister Kate managed to repeat the placing in 18+ taking third in her first year in that very tough category jumping against veteran skippers like Rheanne Segstro, who once again took first in the category. Kyle Poulin was first in the boys 15-17 and Bradley Spurge was first in 12-14 boys. In the Rookie Category Joscelyn Koehle took first in freestyle in the 12-14 category.In the endurance skip Joscelyn Koehle, Jordan Mulvihill, Bradley Spurge and Kalina Spurge all had first place finishes and Dana Knapik took a second.In 30 second speed Jordan led the way setting a new record and was followed by first place finishes by Ella Pelosa, Joscelyn Koehle and Bradley Spurge.In power Ella Pelosa, Joscelyn Koehle took seconds. And Bradley Spurge, Kyle Poulin and Dana Knapik walked away with firsts.The other teams felt the tournament was well run and that the banquet on Saturday night was delicious. There were numerous comments on how beautiful Nelson is and how lucky we are to live here. Thanks to the great weather and the support of Nelson and the hard work of the Rhythm Roper parents and local volunteers the weekend was a huge success. Now with all the RR qualifying for Nationals on July 19-21st in Calgary it is time to review score sheets and tweak routines to make them even more impressive.
