The vast majority of care that we provide at Portneuf’s new Sports Medicine
Institute will never necessitate surgery.
However, when surgery is required we want you to know you are in good hands.
In fact a highly respected consumer advocacy group recently published overall
surgery ratings for hospitals across the country. In the report Portneuf was given
the highest possible ranking.
This kind of recognition really helps validate all the care and attention to detail
that our surgical teams and their support sta�s provide. We are committed to
continue on this path of excellence and to do all those things necessary to
maintain your trust and con�dence.

Between school, ice skating, debate and spending time with friends, it may seem
impossible for 2013 Miss War Bonnet Roundup Princess Hailey Kelso to find time to brush up on her queening skills.
Lucky for Kelso, despite being sick recently she has had enough energy to do it all, and she even said doing things like ice skating and debate help her with skills that are essential parts of queening.
“I have always been a pretty busy child,” said Kelso. “It is a lifestyle being able to juggle multiple things at the same time. Sometimes it is nice to have a break, but there are so many places I need to be and things I need to do. I think for me, not having that [busy schedule] would be a drag.”
Kelso said her ice skating compe-tition on Saturday, Jan. 18 went really well. It was located at the Joe Marmo/Wayne Lehto Ice Arena in Tautphaus Park. Kelso participated in testing and did a routine for a showcase. She said she wore her favorite costume to the event — a
black dress with gold patterns that look like flames. Her routine was to an instrumental song called “The Rise.”
Because of her skill level, Kelso will be able to coach and give pri-vate lessons with younger skaters and teach them what she knows about being on the ice.
Kelso has been skating for about five years and she said even though she is sad that she won’t be able to do it as much next year because of queening, it has helped her develop the grace and skills she needs to be a rodeo queen. She also said it is a great way to keep in shape for the rodeo season.
“[Ice skating] helps me carry my body correctly and interact with others,” said Kelso. “The ice skaters are really part of a family group. We are always a family and we all love each other.”
Even though skating is a passion, Kelso said she could never give up her time on her horse and her enthusiasm for queening.
“I definitely enjoy being on my horse [more] than on my skates,” said Kelso. “It is something I will re-ally miss when I can’t do it as much.”
Debate is another activity that helps Kelso with her queening career. She said though debate has a different spin than speeches do, it teaches her some very valuable lessons and techniques.
“You definitely have to control yourself when you are in there because of your opponents saying things; you have to make sure you don’t get too heated,” said Kelso. “Speech events remind me of act-ing or theatre; it is definitely a way to open up and be comfortable in the skin you are in.”
Kelso said debate has made a big difference in her life and opened up doors for her.
“It has helped me speak more fluently and helped me widen my vocabulary,” she added. “In queen-ing speeches you have to make sure the point you are trying to make in your speech is made. You want people to not only hear what you say but to feel it too.”
Between all the activities that keep her busy, Kelso has still found time to spend on her horse. She said during her Christmas break she was able to ride him almost every day, and she still rides him once or twice a week to keep up with her skills. She is currently working with her young horse on reigning.
Kelso has also been hitting the books and studying rodeo terms, parts of the horse and other things she needs to know for the up-coming rodeo queen season. She said she is looking forward to the season, which begins after the first queen contest in March.
