Lost in the Rocky Mountains

Fifty-four-year-old scientist Bob Rigsby

I was lost for five days in Canada’s Rocky

B) Mountains, and was only rescued after a

PI mobile phone calltohis wife, Shirley, over

gg 8,000 km away in England.

w Bob,aBritish wildlife expert, had been

138 in Vancouver, Canada, giving a talkat

Si a conference on the environment When

it was over, he travelled to the Rocky Mountains and checked into The Maple Leaf hotel He thensetoff on a short walk

tolookatthe local plant and animal life After a couple of hours, he realised he had taken a wrong turning on the mountain path, but was sure he could easily get backto

the hotel Even when night fell, he remained confident.

But, after walking for several hours thenextday, it became clear to Bob that he was in

trouble 1 had my mobile phone with me, but the battery was almost dead.I thought Icould probably make just one call but Ididn’t know the number of my hotel andI didn’twant toworry my family unlessIreally had to.’ Bob carried on walking for three

more days He knew which wild plants he could safelyeatand he had little trouble

finding them When he was thirsty he drank fromstreams

On the fourth day, he reached a forest that he knew he had walked through the

previous day His heart sank He realised it was hopeless and decidedtocall his family

in England ‘He was quite calm when he spoketome on the phone,’ says Shirley.

‘He appearedtobe in control of the situation, in spite of everything He’d been lost

a few times before, but never for so many days - that’s why this time was different.’ She immediately contacted The Maple Leaf hotel, after a quick calltothe Canadian embassy in Londontoget its phone number ‘We’re always anxious if our guests are away for a long time,’ says Greg McCaffrey, the hotel’s owner ‘But that week several

of our English visitors had gonetothe city for a few days to watch the hockey games, and we thought Mr Rigsby had gone too.’ As soon as Shirley phoned, hotel staff

called the rescue service, whosent outa search party for the scientist They found him

in a cave some hours later, very tired, but, apart from some cuts and scratches, quite unhurt.

Open-air Theatre

friZb.-In Britain, the ancient tradition of open-air

performances is still alive and well Cornwall has (

some of Britain’s oldest working theatres, with

one open-air theatre actually built into a cliff, a

project only recently completed.

Two actors, Dave James and Muriel Thomas,

came from London theatres to join a theatre company called Coastline They now

regularly perform in just such a theatre, by the sea ‘One thing about performing

outside is we never know what’ll happen For example, if a bird lands on stage, we can’t act as if it’s not there - the audience are all watching it So we just bring the bird into the play, too Once, about 30 dolphins came past, jumping out of the water

and showing off The audience were all chatting about them instead of watching the play, so the actors just gave up for a while and watched the dolphins, too.’

The weather can also be difficult ‘Sometimes it’s been so bad,’ says Muriel, ‘that we’ve asked the audience if they really want to stay But usually they sit with their coats and umbrellas and say, “Yes, please carry on!” They must feel it isn’t much fun, but no one’s returned their ticket so far!’

Coastline’s director, John Barnack, works hard to introduce people to theatre.

‘Many people think of theatres as clubs where they don’t belong and are not

welcome,’ he explains ‘Sitting in the open air changes that feeling The audience

are far more involved - they aren’t sitting in the dark, at a distance like in normal theatres, and that improves the actors’ performances, too I’m very proud of the work they’ve done so far.’

will go into your classes to practise on your own instruments for the evening concert There will also beachance to experiment with a different instrument from the one you normally play, and see if you enjoy playing something more unusual - we have several instruments

to choose from!

Whattobring Bring a piece of musicthatyou can play well Part of the day will include a ‘masterclass’

in which you might have the opportunity, if there is enough time, to play a piece of your choosing and be given a short lesson by one of the professional players.

tohave money for these If you wish to buy something, you could reserve it and then

arrange to pick it up and pay when your parents arrivetowatch theconcert.This service will be available until 7 pm.
