Emergency room services limited Only the most critical patients will be seen at Princeton Hospital near the end of March due to lack of doctors in town Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Princeton Hospital’s emergency department is once again set to have limited services available for patients. Only the most critical patients - those whose life is in danger or who may lose a limb - will be seen by a doctor on call all day from March 26 to 29. During this time, a nurse will make an assessment, and less-critical patients will be sent to Penticton or be forced to wait until later for care. The emergency department will also not have a doctor at the hospital from midnight to 8 a.m. from March 2 to 5, 9 to 11, 15 and 20 to 22. “The situation - rather than getting better since last May - has been steadily getting worse and worse,” said Mayor

Fred Thomas. “A doctor will only be there in the most serious situations, like to resuscitate a stroke victim or sew-up a severed hand - things that have to be done immediately.” Last Monday, the emergency department was closed completely because there were no doctors available in Princeton. Patients with serious emergencies would have been helicoptered in to Penticton or Kelowna, while an ambulance would have driven people with non-life threatening emergencies to Penticton, Thomas said. This is the first time the emergency department was completely closed due to doctor unavailability, he said. “One of the doctors in town came back from Washington State in order to shorten that time as much as possible.” On Christmas Eve, the emergency room was closed due to a nursing shortage. There are three doctors in Princeton, but two are over the age of 70 and one can’t work a full night shift, Thomas said.

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 11 at 2:00 a.m. Turn your clocks ahead by 1 hour (or before you go to sleep on Saturday.)

Reminder: Time change is the perfect time to check and change the batteries in your smoke detectors as well!

SPCA investigates owner of ﬁve starving horses near Princeton Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

The SPCA is investigating a man living near Princeton who owned five severely underweight horses before surrendering them to a rescue organization. The man could be facing charges, depending on whether the SPCA can prove he neglected the horses, said Kathy Woodward, BC SPCA senior animal protection officer. The SPCA visited the property in November to

Weather Watch

photograph the horses. “All of them were in adequate body condition at that time,” Woodward said. All the horses had been rescued by the time she got the next complaint, she said. Woodward said it is important for the SPCA to do a thorough investigation because horses can sometimes drop weight suddenly for reasons other than neglect, such as if they get into something that makes them sick.

Shortage - The situation is getting worse: Mayor Thomas said he has watched the situation get steadily worse during the last year when he drew the previous mayor’s attention to the problem. Locums were available in the past to cover for the doctors, but there aren’t any available right now. “It has got worse and worse, as I predicted,”

Thomas said. “I’m working as closely as I can with the IHA [Interior Health Authority] to reverse that trend.” Thomas is taking part in a meeting on March 15 to discuss possible solutions to the emergency room’s limited service.

Recovery - horses getting strength back Charging someone with animal neglect can often take years to go through the legal system, she said. The five horses are recovering at the BC Interior Horse Rescue Society in Kelowna, a process the organization’s president Joey Tompkins said will take months. Four horses were rescued in mid-February, with another surrendered a week later. Peaches - the most underweight horse - only weighs 500 pounds, less than half the weight she should. The other horses were also underweight, but not as bad. “Babe, Jesse and Torrie are showing more weight gain. Peaches and Cricket still have a long way to go,” said Tompkins on the BC Interior Horse Rescue Facebook page. The horses are eating well, and should start to put on weight soon. “Peaches is starting to get the sparkle of life back. She is loving all this attention she is receiving as well as her extra yummy food.” Torrie - the horse who is most untrusting of people - is beginning to come around. “From what I have learnt, she is quite stand-offish and will not let anyone get close to her. With that being said we had a volunteer Laura come over yesterday and Torrie walked right up to her and BC Interior Horse Rescue Laura was able to groom her,” Peaches’ daughter Cricket is the most recent underweight horse Tompkins said.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

PRINCETON ON S AT U R D AY M A R C H 1 7 to outﬁt you

Chapman is coming to

with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling Michaela Garstin/Spotlight

SpotlightOPINION

Adults can be bullied too, I would know Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

I was never really bullied as a kid, so wearing a pink shirt for Anti-bullying Day didn’t mean as much to me in previous years. But now I realize how tough it is to be bullied, and I’m happy I went through it as an adult not a child or teen. Calling other adults “bullies” sounds almost silly to me, but that’s exactly what it is. Journalists have to be pretty tough. It’s definitely not a profession to get into if you want an easy-going job. Reporters and editors receive complaints, criticism and objections to their writing daily – it’s just part of the job. In fact, the best journalists often get a lot of criticism. This isn’t bullying. Other people’s opinions are what make journalism a great job. I’ve received complaints and criticism – sometimes from the people who make this town a wonderful place to live. I don’t mind this. This isn’t bullying at all. But I have been bullied here in Princeton - and the bullying had nothing to do with my writing. Again, I feel silly saying I was bullied. But that’s exactly what happened. It was for something I have no control over, which made it even more frustrating. Based on the way I felt, kids who are bullied must feel pretty bad. I won’t give any specifics about the bullying because I don’t want to hurt or embarrass anyone. That’s not the point of why I’m writing this. I just want adults to remember that they can be bullies too. So next February when we put on pink shirts again for Anti-bullying Day, let’s remember to set a good example for the children in our lives. And bravo to those of you who already are.

Industrial park cost should be made public Dear Editor, This letter is for Coun. Frank Armitage, Town of Princeton, B.C. Dear Sir: With reference to Mr. Muckle’s letter to the Similkameen Spotlight, Feb 22, 2012 “How about it?” I was interested in his comments regarding audited financial statements, especially for the industrial park. Realizing town council’s policy to not respond to a letter to the editor, and the more difficult process of addressing members of council, as a concerned taxpayer I am respectfully requesting an answer to Mr. Muckle’s concerns. •How much did the industrial park cost? Land

acquisition/sewer/water/roads/fire protection/etc. •What incentives and programs are being offered to fill the spaces? •How is availability of commercial property in Princeton being advertised? •How many sites are there and are they all serviced? •What business criteria has been established for those who will be allowed to buy lots in the Park? •IOUs? Who from? Was it money slated to be used to fund major capital projects? Looking forward to your reply. Sincerely yours Corry Oerlemans Princeton

Harper bills could lead to Big Brother Dear Editor Yesterday on The Current on CBC I heard an interview with Eric Sterling, the man who drafted the U.S. legislation for mandatory minimum sentences. He now feels that it lead to a great deal of injustice. He and two dozen criminal justice professionals are imploring the Harper government not to make the same mistakes. Robert Sampson was also interviewed. He was the corrections minister of Ontario under Mike Harris. He drafted a review for Stockwell Day and many of his recommendations are included in Bill C-10. His defense of the Bill was disturbing to say the

least. He made the incredible statement that prisoners weren’t getting a long enough sentence to become rehabilitated. The Harper government squawks about not getting legislation through as fast as they’d like it to and then they put nine or more Bills together making one huge Bill, and expect it to pass with hardly enough time to read it let alone discuss it and its ramifications. I looked it up and scanned over it. It covers everything: incest, bestiality, criminal records, national defense, youth criminal justice, prisons and reformations, international transfers of offenders, human rights, immigration and refugee protection, terrorism Tto quote the Bill – “hundreds of Canadians have been murdered or injured in terrorist attacks” and “the purpose of the Act is to deter terrorism by allowing the victims to sue the perpetrators” (yep, that’ll do it)., and drugs). Again to quote, “The amount of the substance means the entire amount... or the whole of any plant that contains a detectable amount of the substance.” The sentence? Imprisonment for a term of six months if the number of plants produced is more than five. This Bill will be law in a short time.

Date set for 2012 Princeton Lions Auction Contributed editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Not wanting to conflict with Mother’s Day or the May long weekend the Lions have elected to hold their annual auction on May 26 this year. The auction this year looks to be very interesting and a lot of fun. If there is a Stanley Cup play-off that night, they will set up a

Woman found frozen to death at Apex Resort Penticton Western News

An employee at Apex Mountain Resort was found dead on Monday morning on a path behind a residence on the hill. Penticton RCMP said they were advised the frozen body of a woman had been located behind a residence across from the Stray Horse Inn on Apex Mountain Road at 7:45 a.m. on a well-travelled path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investigation indicates that no foul play is suspected at this time,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Rick Dellebuur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is my understanding there was a gathering of some workers earlier in the evening. An autopsy

report should be conducted by (Wednesday).â&#x20AC;? The 31-year-old woman has been identified as Benoite Camille Marye, who was originally from France. Dellebuur said the woman was dressed for the weather, but her jacket was found near her body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not unusual for people who get hypothermia to take off their clothes because they think they are hot,â&#x20AC;? said Dellebuur. Apex Mountain Resort general manager James Shalman confirmed the woman was an employee working at the resort for the last year, but did not want to release other details about the woman. RCMP said the incident is still under investigation by the coroner.

Energy efďŹ cient lighting rebates available Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Rebates are available for FortisBC customers who buy qualifying Energy Star LED or CFL lighting before April 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Switching to CFLs and LEDs is an easy and convenient way to save money and electricity,â&#x20AC;? said Fortis spokesman Tom Loski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These bulbs use 75 to 85 per cent less electricity to provide the same amount of light.â&#x20AC;? FortisBC will cover 50 per cent of the cost of Energy Star-rated LED bulbs, up to $15 for bulbs less than 10 Watts and up to $30 for bulbs 10 Watts and higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These rebates make LEDs more affordable especially when used to replace heavily used lights in busy areas of the home such as a kitchen,â&#x20AC;? Loski said.

Fortis will also pay 50 per cent of the cost up to $2.50 for each qualified Energy Star-rated specialty CFL. CFLs now come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and even dimmable options, and use up to 75 per cent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, Loski said. LEDs have long been thought of as an energyefficient option for decorative outdoor lighting, but are now available for both home and office and, according to Natural Resources Canada, use up to 80 per cent less electricity than incandescent bulbs. The lighting rebates are automatically applied to qualified Energy Star lighting purchased from Canadian Tire, Costco, Overwaitea Food Group, Save On Foods, London Drugs, Home Depot, Coopers and other participating lighting retailers and receive an instant rebate at the time of purchase.

Pink Shirt Day sweeps through Princeton Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Pink Shirt Anti-Bullying Day swept through Princeton on Feb. 29 as students, teachers, council members and many others dressed in pink. Schools held special discussions on bullying, how to handle it and ways to

prevent it. Dressed in pink, Princeton RCMP Const. John Leach and Spotlight staff handed out neon bracelets to high school and elementary school students in a show of support against bullying. Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when two Nova Scotia students bought 50

pink shirts to support a student who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. The two Grade 12 students went to a discount store to buy the shirts to hand out to classmates, who wore the shirts to school the next day in support.

A snapshot of Princeton in the ’50s Contributed editor@similkameenspotlight.com

The fourth blues, country, and rock’n roll concert will take place at Riverside Theatre on Saturday afternoon March 10. Organizer and artistic director Mel Berg is trying out a new idea. “It’s a snapshot of Princeton in the ’50s”, claims Berg. The concert will start out by having the audience visualize a Saturday night dance at the Orange Hall on Bridge street in the 1950s, attended by the loggers, miners, and ranchers who contributed so much to Princeton reaching the lofty status of village. In the background you’ll hear the sounds of The Cactus Cats, a harmonica and keyboard duo of Dave McMou and Hugh Money, who have long been mainstays of the Princeton and Merritt dance scene. After a brief introduction with slide show of some of the people you may run into at this dance, and some of the songs they expected to hear, the concert begins! Allenby Road, Mel’s own band, which also includes Larry Saidman, Rick Law, and Dwayne Sininger, opens the show. They’ll play some popular and not-sopopular, ’50s songs like Alabam—anyone remember Cowboy Copas? and a few later songs that reflect the realities of rodeos, ranching, and the neighbourhood conflicts that were all part of rural living. Then you’ll notice Mel’s brother, Jim Berg, sneaking onto the stage and harmonizing with Mel, as only a brother can, on the Eddy Arnold hit of “Make the World Go Away”. Jim has a few song surprises up his sleeve as well! Rounding out the old tyme rural flavour is Sofia singing The Gal Who Invented Kissing and Nora Whelpton, with her great fiddle, guitar, and home-spun vocals (and maybe even a bit of yodeling). The ever evolving, always improving Blues and Soul band, Back Door Blues, led by the amazing blues guitarist and singer, Rick Freeman, will close the show. This seven-piece band includes 3 horn players, as well as guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard. Pay attention to tenor saxman, Don MacIntosh, and his version of Swingin’ Shepherd Blues., and Larry Saidman’s heart- rendering rendition of Mickey Newbury’s “SweetMemories”, and Rick Freeman going wild with three drummers (count em-three) on Black Magic Woman. Rick Law was such a hit at the last show, that you’ll certainly hear more of him! What do you make of a title like She caught the Katy and Left Me A Mule to Ride? The last concert brought in about 100 people… and this one could be bigger. So advance tickets may be a good idea! Only $10. You can buy them from any of the band members, Mel’s Barbershop or the Sunflower Gallery.

Bollywood meets high school Penticton Western News

Penticton School of Dance and the House of Kiran are combining forces to offer a one-woman tour-

de-force,Fish Eyes, by Canadian actor, playwright and choreographer, Anita Majumdar. Fish Eyes is the story of Meena,

an average Canadian teenager who, like any other 17-year-old, obsesses. Her obsession? Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai, her major high school crush, Buddy, and her upcoming prom. To top it all off, her dance teacher is driving her nuts preparing for the all-important dance competition. “We are so pleased to bring Anita and Fish Eyes to Penticton,” says Penticton School of Dance Artistic Director Krystal Kiran Garib. “Anita is an extraordinary artist whose amazing talent allows her to tell a heartwarming and engaging story in the most honest, genuine and humorous way, while using the medium of dance. Not only does Fish Eyes touch on several hot-button issues for all teenagers, issues of identity and belonging, but the show also focuses specifically on how these issues affect so called ‘third-culture’ kids who at times feel torn between two cultures.” Created in Montreal at the National Theatre School of Canada, Fish Eyes made its world premiere at the SummerWorks Festival in Toronto in 2004. It went on to play to packed houses at Toronto’s Theatre Passe Muraille in 2005, at

Va n c o u v e r ’s The Cultch Theatre in 2006 and toured to select cities throughout India later that year.

Atamanenko invites NDP agriculture critic to riding Contributed

Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko has invited federal NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen to spend some time in the riding of B.C Southern Interior.

Atamanenko and Allen will attend the BC Fruit Growers Association symposium in Kelowna on Thursday, March 1. In addition they will be meeting with pro. ducers in Cawston, Rock Creek and Grand Forks on March 2.

“I am extremely pleased that Malcolm is able to join me in our Riding for a few days. This will give him a chance to hear firsthand about some of the issues our local producers are concerned about,” said Atamanenko. On March 3, the NDP MPs will meet with

representatives of the local food movement in Nelson and Kaslo. “As federal Ag critic it is important for me to see what our producers are saying right across the country. I would like to thank Alex for giving me this opportunity,” Allen. said.

Time for federal leadership in health care: MP Atamanenko Contributed - MP Alex Atamanenko

Across our country, no other public social service is cherished as much as our healthcare system and its underlying principles set in the Canada Health Act. Canadians appreciate knowing that whatever health problem they have, help is available to them, regardless of their ability to pay. But our system is not perfect. There are still improvements

needed to ensure Canadians get proper value for money and at the rate at which costs are increasing, the current status quo is not sustainable. We need to start building the next generation of health care in our country. We need to look at how we can control costs and move forward on many of the reforms included in the Romanow Report and the 20032004 Health Accords to improve our system.

While many of the tools for improving service delivery are under provincial and territorial jurisdiction, the federal government also has a key role to play in providing proper leadership. Unfortunately, this is not the direction this government is taking. After failing miserably at implementing the commitments in the 2003-2004 Health Accords, Stephen Harper recently put forward a plan to unilaterally reduce the federal contribution to healthcare. At a time when the differences between provincial health care systems in Canada are growing, federal leadership is required now more than ever. During the recent Premiers’ conference on health care sustainability held in Victoria, the NDP held its own event to hear from key health care advocates and researchers. We received the same message from the Premiers and citizens alike: don’t privatize healthcare; continue to expand it in innovative ways. While some say that more privatization is needed to control costs in healthcare, evi-

dence points to the contrary. While total spending on health care has grown from about seven per cent of GDP to around 12 per cent today, that number hides that the components covered by Medicare have remained between four and five per cent of GDP since the mid ’70s, while the other components not covered by Medicare has grown from three per cent to seven per cent of GDP. Public delivery has been an important cost container. Therefore, a sustainable health care system delivering quality healthcare services should rely on more, not less, public coverage. There are three key areas outlined in the Health Accords that we should immediately start with: better drug coverage, home care, and primary care reform. Over the past 10 years, prescription costs have increased at a rate of 10 per cent per year. The 2004 Health Accord included a pharmaceutical strategy aimed at reducing the cost of medications. Such a plan would not only save our health care system billions of dollars each year, it would also help Canadians have better access to more effective drugs.

We also need to adjust to the 21st Century reality of offering more services in the community. For example, new healthcare delivery models such as home care and palliative care have proven to be less expensive than hospital beds. Establishing a comprehensive care strategy will save costs in the long-run and improve the health of millions. Finally, primary health care reform is the key to efficient and cost-effective use of health care resources. It would lower costs while supporting timely access to health care services, particularly for the delivery to remote and rural Canadians and Aboriginal people. What our healthcare system needs today is leadership to put in place the much needed reforms that have been talked about for over a decade. The provinces want a federal partner that’s committed to improving Medicare, who seeks accountability by linking spending to clear health care improvements. The hands-off approach of the Conservative government simply does not work.

SpotlightLIFESTYLES

A recipe to warm you and a promise kept This week’s column is about recipes that people have requested over these few damp months—a story, and one last recipe for Port Renfrew. I put a recipe in for clam chowder in a previous column, but it was a bit complicated and some of the ingredients were a bit hard to find. So here is easy clam chowder. Ingredients; 1/2 cup water 1 cup chopped, and cooked potatoes 1/4 cup sliced onion, sautéed 1/4 cup minced garlic bulb 1 cup clams, chopped, and juice added 1 tin mushroom soup 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp. Knorr chicken soup base 1/2 cup milk or 10% cream Salt (sea salt), and white pepper to taste

Dash of Worcestershire sauce Dash of Tabasco sauce 1/2 cup well cooked bacon, crumbled Method; Put all the ingredients in a sauce pan and cook for fifteen minutes. Then add seasoning to taste and heat thoroughly. Crumble six crackers in each of six bowls and fill with chowder. Sprinkle on the bacon. Fast, easy and tasty. In the last few columns I talked about Port Renfrew on the West coast of Vancouver But before I move along I would tell you one more story from that

the coast and then share one more recipe. The story started when me and a friend got stuck tied to a log boom with the tide on it’s way out. Of course we had no way to know the boom was destined for Port Alberni a few good miles to the South. And to make NELSON LEWIS it more exciting it began to rain, a real west coast rain. Under the sheet of canvas it sounded like shotgun pellets pounding our little hideout. By the time a grey dawn cut through our very own Island. bank of pea soup fog, we were ready to like to try reaching solid ground, never mind the part of consequences.

Season to Taste

We got lucky and with a little help of a light on a rocky point, we made our way back to the mouth of the straight. The best thing about that little adventure: the hot bath as soon as I got home later that day. Now, as I promised to a friend, here is the recipe for black butter sauce: Ingredients; 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup capers 2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice Method; Sauté the butter till black. Add the capers and simmer a few minutes. Add the lemon juice and serve hot. Delicious, and easy to make. See Ya Next Week!

HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column, or 3x3 box.

ARIES: Red spells passion, and it will be all around you this week, Aries. Make the most of it by getting things done and showing that special someone how much they mean to you. TAURUS: You’ve got the blues, but they won’t last long with the arrival of a long-lost friend. Take time out to catch up and reminisce, Taurus. It will be just the boost you need. GEMINI: Knock-knock. Who’s there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad your finances are starting to look up, Gemini? Keep saving, keep investing and financial freedom will be yours. CANCER: Green never looked so good, Cancer. Find more ways to implement the three R’s—reduce, reuse, recycle—and keep more green in your pocket. LEO: It is not black and white, as you were led to believe, Leo. Get the facts before you make your decision. A friend requires some counseling. VIRGO: You’ve never been one to brown nose, but the superior you’re about to encounter will require it. Submit, Virgo, or prepare to receive more grief than you deserve. LIBRA: Lucky Libra. You get back in the black and you learn how to stay there. Mealtimes around the table foster connections and provide insight into a recurring dilemma. SCORPIO: Shades of purple indicate a period of extravagance is about to beset your home. Don’t worry, Scorpio. It won’t last long enough to alter anything permanently. SAGITTARIUS: White beckons to you from every turn and can only mean one thing, Sagittarius. You need to learn to relax, starting now. Arrange for some TV time or a long bubble bath.
