Efforts underway to recruit new physicianA collaborative approach may

be the way to entice physicians to locate in rural Shuswap communi-ties.

This approach was on display in Penticton over the weekend at the Rural Emergency Continuum of Care conference, where a con-tingent from the Shuswap, repre-sented by the Shuswap Healthy Communities Coalition, was at-tempting to sell the region and its rural communities – Sicamous, Chase, Sorrento and others – to doctors.

“We’re all going to be recruit-ing and helping each other in try-ing to present the Shuswap and our communities in a positive light to attract physicians, just get them to know that we are recruiting and also maybe, by being there, talk to them and � nd out exactly what our next generation of physi-cians, rural physicians, are really looking for and what would con-vince them to bring their families

to these communities or agree to provide service to these commu-nities,” said Pam Beech. “We’re staring to take very proactive and co-operative action towards this effort because we know we all have the same need.”

Beech manages the Sicamous Medical Clinic, where her hus-band, Jack Beech serves as the community’s doctor. Jack turns 65 this year, and Beech says he would like to ease out of the practice. But he’s reluctant to do so with-out a replacement.

“He doesn’t want to do that. That would leave this community without a clinic, because he owns the clinic,” said Beech who, for the past six years has been trying to recruit for the clinic.

One doctor who had planned to take over the practice passed away.

A husband and wife team of doctors who had planned to visit the practice wound up losing in-terest on the way. Beech said they

made it to Vernon where they were told “there’s nothing in Sicamous for your family.” For Beech, this emphasizes the need for a col-laborative approach, between ru-ral practices and their respective communities.

“Because I’ve been through this, I know it’s not just about

what we do, but how we, as a community, work together,” said Beech. “It’s about our whole area recognizing where the needs are, where the doctors are needed, and everybody working together to support the concept that rural communities deserve to have doc-

tors, and how can we best help them to get their doctors.”

Beech notes that what’s hap-pening in Sicamous is happen-ing throughout the Shuswap. The South Shuswap, for example, has a nurse practitioner but no doctor.

“The North Shuswap has two doctors, but they have made it

clear they want out of the practice… so they’re recruiting as well,” said Beech, noting rural com-munities are often isolated in a sense that they do not have adequate (if any) transportation systems that can connect them to the services patients need. For those who have ac-cess to transportation this is not such a big issue, but

for communities like Sicamous, with a large population of seniors and people on limited incomes, this can be a problem. And this, she says, can de� ne a practice and the responsibilities rural doctors have to take on.

Beech notes the B.C. govern-

ment and the Interior Health Au-thority have both recognized the need for doctors in rural commu-nities and are making an effort to � ll it. However, she feels more can be done, such as incentives to help cover the cost of tuition for physi-cians fresh out of university, such has been done to attract doctors to northern communities.

The issue of Jack’s retirement has come up on more than one oc-casion at Sicamous council. Coun. Suzanne Carpenter has become involved in the recruitment effort and, at a recent council meeting, stated the problem is global, and that “it’s a whole new world out there as far as what doctors want from a community.”

“So basically, we’re going to have to go and sell ourselves to bring a doctor here,” said Car-penter. “We’re really lucky in our community that we have a local doctor who lives here, Dr. Beech, and whenever you see him, say ‘thank you,’ because there’s not too many places that have a doc-tor who stays around.”

The arrival of warm, sunny weather will likely hasten the melt of high-eleva-tion snowpack.

Data shows the current snow level re-maining at Park Mt. that feeds Shuswap River and raises the level of Shuswap Lake, is higher than average for this time of year.

“The snowpack is heavier than normal and continuing to grow,” said Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP) co-ordinator Cliff Doherty, pointing out recent heavy rains fell as snow at higher elevations. “It hasn’t stopped growing and a week of warm temperatures is coming at us right now.”

SEP is monitoring snowpack levels and early indications suggest there is potential for high water flows in area streams and rivers if the snow melt occurs quickly.

The Shuswap Lake level has reached 348.22 metres and the BC River Forecast Centre expects the lake will peak in two weeks at between 348.5m and 348.8m, approximately the same as the peak levels experienced in 2011 and 2013.

Residents who live beside creeks, riv-ers or the lake should be taking action to protect their buildings and property, be-

fore a high water event occurs.Residents are responsible for having a

personal plan as well as tools and equip-ment necessary to protect their homes and property. Sandbags are available through the Swansea Point Community Associa-tion at 250-836-2339.

If flooding is imminent, sand can be requested from the Shuswap Emergency Program by calling 250-833-3350.

Anyone going out on the lake should be on the lookout for debris in the water.

While a lot of debris from a May 2 mudflow on Cooke Creek was deposited into Shuswap River, Doherty says most of it has collected on Mara Lake shores.

“SEP did have the debris assessed by regular lake users and all three came back saying it’s not really different than what it has been other years,” he says.

The Green Party is preparing for the 2015 federal election.

Chris George and David Smith have been unveiled as nominees to be the party’s candidate in Okanagan-Shuswap.

Married and rais-

ing a young family in Notch Hill, George has operated independent businesses from Salm-on Arm to Kamloops. He is currently pursu-ing a bachelor’s degree from Thompson Rivers University.

A retired accoun-tant and consultant liv-ing in Vernon, Smith has worked 35 years in the forest industry in

Lumby, Armstrong and Salmon Arm.

Candidate nomina-tions are still being ac-cepted.

Strike keeps students out of class

Teachers of School District #83 took to the streets for their second walkout as the ongoing teachers’ dispute rolls into its second week.

Rotating walkouts across the province be-gan on May 26 and the government responded by issuing a partial lock out and 10 per cent wage rollback to all teachers participating in strike action.

Teachers are rally-ing for smaller class sizes, more support for students, and a salary

increase of 15.9 per cent over the next four years. The government re-sponded with an offer of a 7.3 per cent raise over six years, but the B.C. Teachers Federation de-clined.

Sandy Little, coun-cillor at Shuswap Mid-dle School, says the on-going dispute is a huge battle that needs to be figured out.

“This is about kids and learning,” said Lit-tle. “The system called education is broken and we need to collectively figure out how to fix it.”

Kylee Kok, who is a learning resource teach-

er at Shuswap Middle School, says she loves her job and the situa-tion is frustrating to deal with because everyone should be working to-gether to better educa-tion.

“It feels like we are fighting the wrong peo-ple,” said Kok.

Parents of affected students aren’t neces-sarily pleased with the current situation either, as students are missing days of school and los-ing valuable time with their teachers.

Andrea Pyle, who has two students in the school system, says she

is full support of the teachers.

“I’m disgusted with the way the government is twisting everything” said Pyle, “ I don’t think teachers have adequate funding and they have to be valued, respected and paid as such.”

Zan Alcock, who has a daughter in kin-dergarten, also thinks the teachers have good reason for taking strike action.

“I think it’s well mer-ited,” said Alcock. “I think the government should be putting more money in the pot for kids.”

NEWSNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nas-tier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature.

“You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agricul-ture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dom-inated the final days of the legislature session.

Not to be outdone, cabi-net minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Ben-nett’s most vocal support-ers as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones.

Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said.

The on-the-record de-bate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdon-ald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Lib-eral political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission.

The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland.

That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973.

Second, the regional panels are not new. The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their meth-

od of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely hap-pened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process.

The debate wasn’t en-tirely devoid of honesty and civility. Macdonald inter-rupted his string of baseless accusations to note that un-der the current system, 75 per cent of exclusion appli-cations in the Kootenay re-gion are approved. If that’s the case, what is really bro-ken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the government did not ad-equately answer. And credit also goes to the new agri-culture minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded performance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm.

Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside

his partisan talking points and gave his personal assur-ance that the government’s intention is to support farm-ing in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land.

As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate af-ter losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to acti-vate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow.

Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclu-sions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least par-tially true. If this does not take place, then the govern-ment’s position will be vin-dicated.

We’ll find out the truth.

Anti-spam laws simply a waste of government time

OPINION

We doubt there is anyone who hasn’t been annoyed by spam.

We’re not talking about that delicious canned spiced ham, but the endless stream of emails advertising everything from Viagra to Rolux (sic) or the $30 million a nice man in Nigeria wants to send you.

We’re being a bit silly here, but what is really ludicrous is the federal government’s new anti-spam legislation, which takes effect on July 1.

It is hard to imagine a more trivial non-problem for the government to concern itself with, let alone how the rules, which require businesses get written or oral consent before they send emails or other digital messages to consumers will put an end to spam.

The new regulations address a problem that, by and large, has already been dealt with through technological means; spam filters at the level of both your home computer and your Internet ser-vice provider are sophisticated, effective and con-stantly being updated.

This legislation also doesn’t do much to stop the particular flavour of spam email that is a problem: fraudulent or phishing emails trying to scam you into revealing your personal information. They’re unlikely to ask your permission either.

On the end user side of the question, there will be some that want to file grievances regardless of how effective their spam filter has been, and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunica-tions Commission is already saying they won’t be able to handle the expected flood of complaints.

So what have the feds accomplished with their new anti-spam legislation? An increase in bureau-cracy, to be sure, but not much else. We would prefer they concentrate on legislation that actually means something.

On April 5, 2006 I wrote my first “On The Arts” for the Eagle Valley News. Now 10 years later I am writing my last column about the arts in Sicamous and surroundings.

I have stepped down as president of the Ea-

gle Valley Arts Coun-cil, and I won’t have my finger on the pulse of the arts in Sicamous anymore.

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting your comments over the years. I can honestly say they were positive and very encouraging.

It has been a long run for me with the arts council. The Red Barn Arts Centre was my home away from home for over a decade.

I was lucky to have this wonderful facil-ity to put on plays, Remembrance Day tributes, invited guest artists etc. When I

started counting I real-ized we had done 24 productions in 10 years and I hereby thank all those people who gave their time to appear in those plays and pro-ductions. You made it all possible. And what fun we had, and lots of stories to tell. A thank you to all the directors for their time and effort over the years.

I also want to thank you, the audience who came out to support the productions.

Of course the struc-ture of the barn needed lots of love and atten-tion too. My husband Jerry Silva was the

main man. Together with the help of Gordon Mackie, Alf Bryan and Doug Aspeslet they did repairs, maintenance and improvements. But we are all getting a day or two older and it is time for some younger members of our com-munity to take over.

I would like to take this opportunity to en-courage people in the community to appreci-ate all their volunteers. It can be a thankless job sometimes and the only comments received may be negative ones. It is a shame because it makes a volunteer burn out eventually. Some

praise now and then or constructive criticisms are the only “pay” a volunteer gets.

Talking about en-couragement, here’s another one. Please continue to support the Eagle Valley News. It is a great paper and the community would not be the same without it. These are hard times in the newspaper indus-try everywhere. Please show your appreciation by purchasing the pa-per, ads etc.

I am going to take time off to see more of the grandchildren, trav-el even more, see plays and concerts in other

cities and take some freedoms that I have not had for many years.

I hereby thank the Eagle Valley News for giving me the op-portunity to write my column and especially Lachlan Labere who has been great to work with.

So now I will sign off with a “So long, farewell, auf wieder-sehn, adieu, tot ziens,

goodbye”. It has been such a pleasure.

Editor’s note: We wish to extend our thanks and best wishes to Carla. I speak for many readers when I say it was a pleasure to follow her enjoy-able columns over the years. We appreciate all she has done to help keep the community in-formed.

Moose Mulligan’s has received a TripAd-visor certificate of ex-cellence award.

The accolade, which honours hospitality ex-cellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvi-sor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide.

When selecting cer-tificate of excellence

winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary al-gorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings.

Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Ad-ditional criteria include a popularity ranking on the site.

“Winning the Tri-

pAdvisor certificate of excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at Moose Mulligan’s and we’d like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvi-sor,” said Peter Sch-rama, partner at Moose Mulligan’s.

“There is no greater seal of approval than being recognized by one’s customers.”

Action: PMA Karate student Cynthia Mi-chaud spars with an opponent during the Tae Kwon Do International Goodwill Open Championships in Kamloops on May 24. Michaud won a bronze medal in the kata competition. Students are now training for an open martial arts tournament that is be-ing held in Salmon Arm on Saturday, June 7. That event will include competitors from Salmon arm, Enderby, Sicamous, Kelowna, Kamloops and Calgary.Photos contributed.

Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue Society (SAR) is a volunteer organization that has been serving the community for more than 25 years.

They are asking for the Shuswap’s help in paying for a new rapid initial response vehicle and trailer purchased through provincial gaming grants and community donations.

“This was accomplished through the dedica-tion and perseverance of several of our members,” says Luke Gubbels, SAR member. “However, grants do not cover all of our costs, so we are sell-ing space on the vehicle and trailer to help offset some of those expenses.”

Search and rescue volunteers go out into any kind of weather, day or night, 365 days of the year – without cost to those they rescue or payment to themselves.

“The past year has been a busy one for us in terms of call-outs and training,” says Gubbels. “With an increase in outdoor activities and pur-suits there is an increase in situations where our services are required.”

As summer approaches, SAR offers a few re-minders:

• You do not have to pay to be rescued – Search and Rescue is a volunteer-run, non-profit society.

• You do not have to wait 24 hours to call Search and Rescue for help. Time is of the essence. If you find yourself in a situation where SAR’s help is required or if a family member or friend is unrea-sonably overdue from an outdoor adventure, call 911.

To sponsor a business name or logo on SAR’s new initial response truck, or send a private do-nation, visit www.svsar.org, call 250-833-1473 or donate to P.O. Box 241, Salmon Arm V1E 4N3.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Take precautions as you prepare for an important project, Taurus. If you rush through things, you are bound to make mistakes that could negatively impact your career.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Everything you touch turns to gold this week, Gemini. You could set many things into motion with your clever ideas and infectious charisma. Stay grounded.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22An unexpected encounter stirs up some old feelings, Cancer. Enjoy your trip down Memory Lane and take advantage of this opportunity to reconnect with an old friend.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, embrace unique ideas concerning your future this week. Consider all possibilities no matter how out of the ordinary they may seem.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Practical concerns could temporarily stall plans that are a bit fantastical, Sagittarius. But don’t fret, you will have an opportunity to put some plans in motion soon enough.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20You may experience a conflict with others at work this week, Capricorn. It is best to roll with the punches instead of causing a stir. Allow the situation to unfold.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, a hectic few weeks at work have proven distracting. It might seem overwhelming right now, but things will settle down in a matter of days.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, you may want to be invisible in the crowd this week, but that scenario simply isn’t in the cards. Grin and bear the attention.
