Dr. Anthon Meyer will be hon-oured with the My Family Doctor Award at the end of May; the patient nominated award celebrates the doc-tor-patient relationship. A relation-ship Meyer knows is an integral part of good health care, improved health outcomes and better patient satisfac-tion.

Back in 2012 the district of Fort St. James was in desperate need - Dr. Paul Stent was the sole physician in the town caring for close to 5,000 people in the district - Northern Health, the Municipal District and First Nation groups were working to recruit and retain doctors for the community.

That’s where Dr. Anthon Meyer

comes into the picture. Dr. Meyer - operating as a commu-

nity health recruiter of under-serviced areas in Northern Ontario and Mani-toba at the time - was approached to help with recruiting for the Fort St. James area.

“The recruits from Northern Health were aware of my company,” he said. “They had conversations at times with me … could I begin to help them with recruitment in (the Fort St. James) area.”

Meyer’s daughter and son-in-law were both looking to practise in Brit-ish Columbia and as International Medical Graduates they would be required to start their practise some-where in northern B.C.; it was the perfect combination for bringing a new care model to healthcare in the

Fort St. James region, he said.“When Northern Health expressed

a need, they were accepting that we could start a new care model,” he said. “For me that’s the challenge in medicine is the chance to change out-comes.”

Historically, Meyers said over time remote communities are neglect-ed with fragmented approaches to chronic disease patients, rather than comprehensive care. With doctors not staying in the community there was a discontinuity in care for acute pa-tients.

“For me, to make a difference is to focus on population health, well-ness and well-being,” he said. “To identify chronic disease that has been neglected over time, put programs in place that can address that adequately

and then put management systems in place that it becomes a uniform sys-tem approach and not an individual practitioner.”

With the aid of a health record management system called the Medical Offi ce Information System (MOIS), Meyer said setting up a pro-gram where all physicians can have access to set standards, and could be in tune to elevate the standard of care and how the team sees patients, was able to be put in place. This method sees a group of physicians working together as a care team that are part-ners in a patient’s care management plan.

“We change the access to patients in the community,” Meyers said.

to funTreasure hunters get

prepared; geocaching is coming to Fort St. James. On June 27, the UNBC Project Manage-ment Class will be host-ing a Geocache Event with FSJ Geocaching.

Geocaching - the marriage of treasure hunting and GPS - is a fun activity enjoyed by people around the world. Caches are hid-den in various locations and co-ordinates are given as clues to where the treasures are hidden. Inside the cache are various objects left by people who have pre-viously found the site. The idea is to take an object and leave an ob-ject for the next treasure seeker. These caches often contain unique or quirky items from people around Canada, North America and the World.

Leon Erickson, orga-nizer of the event, said the event will be for groups and will have a twist to the type of geo-caching where there are word puzzles and clues to fi nd the location of ten sites around town.

“The coordinates give you a general (area) and the clue gives you a little bit more de-tail as to where the geo-cache is,” Erickson said.

He added the event is open to all ages, but FSJ Geocaching are requesting that groups with participants under 19 have an adult regis-

The Nak’azdli Recy-cling Depot hits a mile-stone this past week. The facility will cel-ebrate one year of op-eration under the Multi-Material BC (MMBC) program.

MMBC, a non-profi t organization, shifted the fi nancial responsi-bility of recycling to businesses that manu-facture or supply items such as residential and printed paper packaged products to consum-ers. The organization, which provides fi nan-cial incentives to First Nation’s to offset the

cost of operating depots and collecting residen-tial recycled materials, rolled out its curbside program in May 2014 to meet the BC Recycling Regulation which came into effect on May 19, 2014.

Kat Slorstad, Nak’azdli recycling depot manager, also runs her own recycling business for rural cus-tomers in tandem with the Nak’azdli recycling program. She said al-though she lost some business with the new program coming in to Fort St. James and area she’s excited the band got the contract and that recycling has increased

for the district. “They took more

stuff and it was free,” she said. “It was kind of crazy how quickly ev-erything happened.”

Slorstad said her commercial and rural pick-up accommodates the depot schedule, add-ing the curbside pickup for in town happens alongside waste man-agement days for gar-bage pickup for various sections of town and the Nak’azdli reserve.

MMBC held its fi rst conference in April this year which Slorstad at-tended, she said there are now 162 collectors and 198 depots now operating across British

Columbia. The confer-ence focused on capture rates, contamination of recyclables and sharing best-practices between depots, she added.

“Having more com-munication between all the depots … which was actually a really cool part of (the con-ference) ... and hear-ing how everyone else has done it,” she said. “There were so many unknowns starting this program.”

She said the recy-cling program will be looking to increase awareness of the depot and what can be re-turned at the depot or through its free curb-

side program, adding there are some areas where the program would like to increase use of the program. The program has diverted 10,669 kilograms with its curbside program, and 14,259.6 kilograms at the depot. That totals over 24,000 kilograms from the Fort St. James landfi ll since the start of the program last May.

“Right now we pick up between 60 and 80 on the North side, and between 30 and 50 on the South side,” she said. “As you can see we get more depot ma-terial than curbside. It’s obviously something we want to up.”

‘Revolutionary system’ for recruitment“When we started

there was everyday between 40 and 60 pa-tients that could not see a physician. We were able to bring that down to 25 to 30 patients per day.

“We are playing a leading role in terms of the regional medical fraternity new initiative in terms of health pro-grams that the Ministry wants to put in place in terms of recruitment,” he said of the revolu-tionary system. “We’ve increased the physician staffi ng position from four to fi ve and now to six physicians. Through factual base … there are just facts that speak.”

Meyer said with the Acute Care Clinic, short-term access can be provided to patients to help identify acute problems and identify long-term problems in patients who before were not able to book appointments ahead of time can get guided

management for their care.

“Each patient now has a most-responsible physician,” he said. “We have opened the hospital on a 24-7-365 day basis. We were able to start a low-risk obsta-cle program in the com-munity … we were able to integrate with other care providers.”

The model Meyer in-troduced into the com-munity, brings nurse-practitioners into the model where all care providers can share the same population base, patient profi les and share the same style of care and expectations of disease management. He said this approach allows assisting with care plans and provid-ing the best standard of care across all types of care providers and is looking to fi ll a second nurse-practitioner posi-tion in the community.

“This is a team ap-proach.”

Meyer’s said besides increasing staff and

bringing nurse practitio-ners to the community, outreach has been initi-ated between his team and other surround-ing First Nation com-munities, something which is a passion for himself and Dr. Stent. A prescription drug abuse cam-paign has been put in place to try and change the pattern and profi le t h r o u g h better care and advice over time for patients.

“Tha t ’s a neglected population over time that histori-cally, has been tremen-dously neglected,” he said. “That focus is so, so important.”

Meyer said his fi rst-hand experience with First Nation groups has provided an in-depth understanding of how they are a neglected de-mographic with much lower healthcare ser-

vices than the rest of the population.

“They have a very harsh deal in terms of the social determinants of health,” he said. “Clean water, housing, and the employment op-portunities; the things that really value and

make a dif-ference.

“I think there’s a lost gen-e r a t i o n ,” he said. “I think that know-ing that … why would that person comply to

waste nice medicine?“Because the sys-

tem did not take care of them.

“I come from a world where discrimi-nation is in my bones – that I hated with a pas-sion - that it just doesn’t make sense,” Meyer said. “For me to observe that kind of ‘lesser than the others’ in this fi rst world country … and

I see in the community of Pikangikum where I lived for many, many years and worked, there was still no running wa-ter.

Meyer added he comes from that back-ground, “I’ve slept more nights on a bed on-reserve than I’ve slept in my own bed for the past 14 years in this country. I think we can do better as a people, but also in (healthcare) we can do better.”

He said his goal in working with First Na-tion’s is to build an re-lationship of trust; to achieve an intimacy and to be able to get a pa-tient as a partner in the healing journey; that holistic care is not a cul-tural approach of West-ern versus First Nation

culture; that there can be a uniformity and a respect for that natural way of life.

“You see how you change people’s at-titudes and behaviour

patterns and you see how you change com-pliance,” he said. “Then you begin to recognize it is not them that is changing, it is us that is changing.”

B.C.’s forest fi re season arrives earlyAs a wildfire near Prince

George continues to grow and three fire departments success-fully extinguish a stubborn brush fire near Lumby on Monday, it’s not difficult to proclaim that the forest fire season has come early this year.

That’s why it makes sense for the Kamloops Fire Centre to de-clare an open fire prohibition be-ginning Friday, the unofficial start to the summer season and the Vic-toria Day long weekend.

Hot, dry weather has dominat-ed most of B.C. for weeks and the forecast is for more of the same so it only makes sense to exercise extreme caution in the woods this weekend, even though it’s only mid-May on the calendar.

The prohibition covers all B.C. Parks and Crown lands but does not ban campfires of a reasonable size, so please use common sense and practise fire safety procedures at all times.

It is a weekend to be enjoyed

and celebrated but it must be done responsibly and within the rules that keep all of us, and our forests and wildlife, safe.

And the province takes its bans seriously as anyone found in con-travention of an open fire prohibi-tion can be issued a $345 ticket or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail.

If the contravention further-more contributes to a wildfire, the person can face a further $10,000 penalty and a bill for all firefight-ing and associated costs.

However, all it takes to avoid catastrophe in the forests is a little common sense, a respect for the great outdoors and following the rules of the land, which now in-cludes an open fire prohibition.

By all means, enjoy the long weekend wherever you are, but do it responsibly.

VICTORIA – Mem-bers of the B.C. Nurses’ Union brought a sea of pink umbrellas to the B.C. legislature Thurs-day to call on the B.C. government to honour a provision that requires health authorities to re-place absent nurses.

BCNU president Gayle Duteil said 2012 contract provision re-placing absent nurses can’t be implemented without more registered nurses hired to provide the relief.

“It’s a sad fact that we don’t have enough nurses to deliver safe care for meeting the staffi ng mandated by our collective agree-ment,” Duteil said. “We don’t have enough nurs-es to backfi ll vacancies, to backfi ll absences, and we don’t have enough nurses to meet the daily spikes in acuity.”

The recent settle-ment of 1,600 union grievances for staffi ng includes $5 million for specialty nurse training, $1 million to support in-creased RN staffi ng and $2 million in “grievance

settlement funds” paid to nurses affected by staffi ng shortages. The staffi ng fund is avail-able to licensed practi-cal nurses who want to upgrade their training.

Health Minister Ter-ry Lake said the interim agreement is a step towards renewing the latest BCNU contract, which expired in March 2014.

“We worked through a mediator in the last month or so and came

to an agreement, so I think we’re in a good place to work towards our new contract,” Lake said.

“We recognize there are some areas like spe-cialist nursing where we do have challenges, and we have committed some of our funding to recruit and train more specialist nurses, and more community nurses as well.”

Nurses cheered as Duteil reminded them

that their “grieva-lanche” had an effect. She said the union doc-umented 10,000 shifts that were not fi lled dur-ing a six-week period at health facilities around the province, and repre-sent only the “tip of the iceberg.”

NDP leader John Horgan addressed the rally, promising that his 2017 election platform will put nurses “front and centre in the health care model.”

Country food alert – fi ddleheadsHealth Canada has issued a food safety alert concerning the proper clean-

ing, preparation, cooking and storage of fi ddleheads, a popular vegetable which grows along river and stream banks.

Fiddleheads are often available at the grocer and fruit and vegetable stands. Health Canada advises that eating raw or undercooked fi ddleheads can cause the following symptoms normally associated with food poisoning; diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and headaches. Symptoms usually occur within 30 minutes to 12 hours after eating undercooked or raw fi ddleheads.

If you experience these symptoms after eating fi ddleheads, contact your health care professional.

The following steps will greatly reduce contamination and possible food poisoning:

CLEANING: • Wash your hands with hot soapy water • Remove as much of the brown husk as possible.• Wash fi ddleheads using several changes of clean, cold water.COOKING: • Cook fi ddleheads by boiling for 15 minutes or steaming for 10 to

12 minutes, until they are tender. Discard the water that was used for cooking.

FREEZING: • Clean fi ddleheads thoroughly, as described above.• Boil for two minutes and discard the water.• Rinse fi ddleheads in cold water and drain.• Store in the freezer for up to one year.Source: http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2015/53319a-

Canada North Resources Expo & Resources Expo

Society Team Up to Do GoodThe Resources Expo Society may not be

well known outside of certain circles, but the quiet work they do to give back to the Prince George community and create educational opportunities in the resources sectors won’t stay a secret for long.

This not-for-profi t organization’s man-date is to facilitate training and educational opportunities in the resources sectors – like forestry, oil, gas and mining – in central and northern British Columbia. The current group came together when its predeces-sor, the Forestry Expo Society, recognized that, although the forestry sector is a crucial component of the central and northern BC economy, there were other equally impor-tant resources. This led to an expansion of the society’s mandate to ensure it was more inclusive.

As part of this mandate, the society draws from the business community in recruit-ing volunteers to sit as directors, helping to fulfi ll its mission and make decisions about the projects it will support. Throughout its history, a key initiative for the Resources Expo Society (along with the previous For-est Expo Society) has been a tradeshow – to bring industry members together, share in-formation on what’s new, and raise funds to create scholarships and give back to local not-for-profi t organizations.

In 2013, the Resources Expo Society entered into a partnership with trade and consumer event management company Master Promotions Ltd. to take over the role of producing the extremely successful and growing Canada North Resources Expo (CNRE). This biennial trade event focuses on equipment and services for forestry, heavy construction and project infrastruc-ture for Northern Canada’s resource proj-ects. CNRE takes place in Prince George on May 29th and 30th, 2015.

At the completion of each CNRE, Mas-ter Promotions makes a contribution to the

Resources Expo Society to help achieve its objectives of providing education, training and promotion of resources sectors, includ-ing:

The establishment of a legacy scholar-ship and bursary program at the College of New Caledonia

The establishment of a legacy fund with the Prince George Community Foundation

Contributions in support of training pro-grams related to heavy equipment operation

The Resources Expo Society maintains its ties to CNRE through membership on the show’s steering committee. This partici-pation ensures that CNRE continues to be a strong showcase for the northern resources sectors and consists not only of providing input into the expo itself, but also helping to organize fun events during the tradeshow such as a poker night and pancake breakfast, with proceeds going to local not-for-profi t organizations.

Over the years, the Resources Expo Society has been able to provide support to many local not-for-profi t organizations, including the Hospice Society, the Railway and Forestry Museum, the Youth Soccer As-sociation, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and local sports teams like the Northern Eagles.

With a strong relationship between the Resources Expo Society and Master Pro-motions Ltd. and the ongoing success of CNRE, this community support will con-tinue for years to come! Both organizations are looking forward to this year’s edition of CNRE, which will feature a pancake break-fast in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Prince George – in addition to tons of exciting show elements, like a Live Equip-ment Demo Zone where visitors can get in the driver’s seat and try out equipment for themselves! Visit www.CNRE.ca for all the details, and make plans to be at the CN Cen-tre in Prince George, May 29th and 30th for the show!

An eagle that was found injured last June out at Stones Bay and sent to the O.W.L. Orphaned Wildlife Reha-bilitation Society in Chilliwack, was returned to Fort St. James for release, May 12.

The eagle, a female, which was originally brought in by Kenny God-dard to Monika Grill during a spay and neuter clinic in Fort St. James, was eventually assessed at O.W.L., with a broken humerus - a bone that make up part of the wing - Catherine Albertson, bird care staff at O.W.L., said of the raptor’s injuries. Albertson added the

bird spent a year at the rehabilitation centre recovering from surgery to re-pair the broken bone.

“She stayed for a year because of moulting,” Albertson said. “She had lost all her fl ight feathers and it took a bit longer for her to rehabilitate.”

She said the eagle spent time in in-tensive care which allowed the bone to heal after surgery. Albertson said the raptor also went through extensive physiotherapy which involved stretch-ing the wing to build muscle tone and fl exibility and then was slowly intro-duced into increasingly larger enclo-sures as the eagle’s healing progressed.

The eagle’s fi nal kennel was a 300-foot outdoor run with alternating doors

which assisted in fl ight and manoeuver-ing Albertson said of the fi nal rehabili-tation process, “That’s where she spent a long time, building up endurance.”

The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilita-tion Society, a non-profi t organization founded in 1978, takes in over four hundred birds of prey such as eagles, owls, hawks and falcons each year.

The society intakes birds of prey from B.C., other Canadian provinces and the United States of America.

Albertson said transportation of birds back to their originating locations is taken care of through donations from companies such as Pacifi c Coastal Air-lines and Bandstra Transportation Sys-tems Ltd.

Vanderhoof — Log-ging trucks, excavators, and bobcats are just a few pieces of equip-ment kids got to work on during this year’s Project Heavy Duty.

Selected Gr 10-12 kids from Vanderhoof, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake and Fort St. James took part in the 29 an-nual event in Vander-hoof on May 14-15 for a hands-on taste of working with various heavy equipment ma-chines. Each year the equipment and person-nel to run them are do-nated by local industry and we couldn’t do it without them, Darren Carpenter, career coor-dinator for SD91 said.

“If we had to pay it would probably cost upwards of $40-$50 thousand to rent all the machines for two days. There are some pretty expensive ones here,” he said pointing to a large excavator on site.

Historically the proj-ect is a four day event where students fi rstly take a tour of LNM saw mill in Vanderhoof. On May 13 the group did just that and were able to listen to operators talk about their trade for an insider sneek-peek of various jobs includ-ing millwright, boiler operator and mechanic to name a few.

Last year the second day was a tour of Enda-ko which was cancelled this year because of the

mines closure. The students did

however spend two days outside rotating through ten stations in groups of two working on 17 different machines.“We try to replicate the work site by having the load-er fi ll the truck or exca-vator fi ll the rock truck and then come back and dump it so the grader can fl atten it into a road. We try to make it as real and relevant as we can so it’s actually what they would be doing on

the job,” Carpenter said. Each station has

an operator that gives a short orientation on safety and what to do and not do with the ma-chine.

Nick Thompson,15, from Lakes District Secondary School ,was seen using the clam grapple which is used to sort or load logs.

“The hardest thing is remembering what joy stick does what, all the while keeping it smooth,” he said.

There were 67 appli-cants this year but only 24 students were chosen based on interest and academics.

“We would like to take them all so that’s why the opportunity to come back a second year is not realistic,” Carpenter said, adding this year had the most amount of industry partners with the big-gest scope and scale of previous years.

A Vanderhoof fi re truck was also pres-ent at the pretend work site with two second year fi re fi ghters teach-ing students about the trucks gadgets.

“The halogen tool can break windows, break into doors, pry things open, basically anything you wan tot get into you can,” Kevin Leslie, second year fi re fi ghter said.

Rob Anthony, a heavy duty machine operator with M-4 En-terprises, has been in-structing students at Project Heavy Duty for

the last six years. “The kids are always

enthusiastic to run the machines. It’s good too for me to see their potential as future con-tractors. Ten kids could come into the shop but the one here I see, they

got a heads up because I’ve seen their potential and attitude,” Anthony said.

Anyone who didn’t get to go to this year’s project can sign up next year at their schools ca-reers offi ce.

Onion rings are a popular side dish. Though many people reserve their consumption of onion rings for nights out at the diner, onion ring af cionados need not wait until their next night out on the town to enjoy their favorite side dish, as onion rings can easily be made right at home.Those who want to add a little extra kick to their onion rings can do just that

thanks to the following recipe for “Rings of Fire” courtesy of Bob Blumer’s “Sur-real Gourmet Bites” (Chronicle Books).

Rings of Fire - Yields 122 Vidalia onions or other sweet onion11/2 cups our2 serrano chiles, minced (plus a couple in reserve)2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper1 cup beer1 tablespoon Tabasco3 cups peanut oil for fryingSlice onions in 1/4-inch slices and separate into rings. Select the 12 largest, most aesthetically pleasing rings.In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of the our, the serranos, 2 teaspoons salt,

the cayenne, and the pepper. Slowly whisk in beer and add the hot sauce. The batter should be the consistency of thin pancake batter.In a medium, tall pot, heat oil to 350 F.In a medium bowl, add remaining 1/2 cup our. Toss onion rings in our to coat. Shake off excess our.Dip one onion ring in batter until thor-oughly coated, then fry for approximate-

ly 2 minutes, or until golden. Turn once during frying. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool, then season with salt and taste. Count to 30, then assess the heat level. Add more of everything hot according to your pain threshold (and that of your guests). Continue frying rings in small batches and serve immediately.

The 36 running of the Fort to Vanderhoof Relay took place May 10.

Keith Gordon, orga-nizer for the run, said both teams were closely matched running from Vanderhoof to the Fort.

He said, “Up until stage 4 the teams were

almost step for step with each other but then the effects of the heat set in and Team Conifex ended up falling a bit back and fi nishing 19 minutes later in a time of 5:29.

David Nutbrown of Not Conifex who ran stage 8 in 29:39. The fastest female runner was Lisa Spingle of Conifex who did stage three in 40:13 who was only 6 seconds faster than Dawn Gauthier in stage 7.
