Award acknowledges dedication

NR From page 1 “Winning this RCBC award demonstrates the commitment and dedication that the Columbia Brewery employees have to sustainability,” Ducharme said. “We’re proud to be acknowledged for improving our business and reducing its impact on the beautiful Kootenay mountain region in which we live and work.” A tradition of “continuous improvement, sustainability and environmental stewardship” that goes back more than 40 years has contributed to

the brewery’s success, she said. Since launching Labatt’s Better World initiative in 2007, Columbia Brewery has slashed water consumption by 20 per cent, cut fuel usage by 16.9 per cent and reduced electricity use by 7.1 per cent, while recycling 99.4 per cent of waste and byproducts.

SD8 cutting staff Local doctor part of new BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Nineteen teaching positions are being cut in School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) but it isn’t yet known how many jobs in Creston Valley schools will be lost, board chair Mel Joy said last week. “We are hoping the cuts will largely come through attrition,” she said. Joy said the decision to cut positions, which are disproportionate to the estimated decline in enrolment of 90 students, is in response to an anticipated end to funding protection for districts with declining student populations. “We have used that funding protection from the Ministry of Education each year to maintain our staffing levels above what our enrolment would dictate,” Joy said. “But we have been told that funding protection will end in 2014 and if we don’t start now we will be in trouble in two years. … “The other impact in Creston is our decision to close the resource centre in Adam Robertson Elementary School, as well as the one in Nelson. We are now in discussions about how best to keep those services.” In Creston, the closure affects one CUPE position. A total of four support positions in the district will be eliminated, but the board has yet to determine which positions will be affected. “We are trying to make staffing decisions before September so employees aren’t kept waiting to the last minute to see if they have jobs and where, but it’s tough,” she said. “And this year all decisions are twice as hard because teachers and boards are really stressed by the lack of a working contract.” Joy said a positive that is emerging from the budget process is that “student learning is at the forefront of all of our decision-making” and that budgeting decisions are made with specific goals in mind. “For instance, we know that money put into early learning has many positive implications for the future, so the budget reflects the goals we have set.” Similarly, “making sure that

our kids are fed” is a priority because hungry students don’t learn well, she said. “I always try to stay positive,” Joy said. “I believe there have been some good things achieved in this budget.” Creston Valley Teachers Association (CVTA) president Becky Blair said on Friday that not all cuts will come from attrition. “It is our opinion that the district has balanced their budget by reducing staff disproportionately — and far more than the budget plan contemplated,” she told her members in a letter. “The board has allotted funding to many projects — including staff development, leadership training and an increase of two vice-principal positions.” “At the last meeting three board members asked to delay the staffing reductions but were outvoted,” Blair said by telephone from Vancouver. “The reductions have a severe impact in the classroom on students. “We were reassured that the cuts would be made through leaves and retirements — that didn’t happen. As a result, seven teachers are being transferred to different schools.” Twelve teaching positions in the CVTA, comprising about 8.5 full-time equivalent positions from Yahk to Jewett (north of Kaslo), will be lost, she said, and 41 members will be impacted, Blair said. “The board is balancing the budget by reducing teachers, while adding two vice-principal positions,” she said. “The result is ratio of 10 teachers to one manager in the district. “We believe that services to students will be impacted. The process is shameful. It’s all about poor planning.” She was derisive about superintendent of schools Jeff Jones’ focus on what he calls “a family of schools.” “We are a dysfunctional family of schools,” the CVTA president said. “I don’t mean to imply that these (school board and senior staff) are wicked people — they just don’t have the money needed to run our district. We now have an entire generation of students who have gone to school with a lack of provincial funding and support.”

mental health approach

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

A new program sponsored by the BC Medical Association and the Ministry of Health is designed to help family physicians be better able to treat patients with depression or other mental health issues. Creston’s Dr. Tara Guthrie has attended learning sessions on what the General Practice Services Committee calls the “mental health module of practice support”. And she has taken the tools and skills she learned and shared them with other family physicians in Creston, Cranbrook, Invermere and Fernie. “This mental health module — Making it Real — makes sense to me as a physician, so it has been interesting to become a trainer so that I can pass on the information to my colleagues,” she said. Guthrie went to Vancouver three times for “train the trainer” sessions. “Stats in 2008 showed that of the 700,000 mental health services provided in B.C., 600,000 were delivered by general practitioners (GPs),” she said. “So we are doing the work, but the Medical Services Health Plan (MSHP) wasn’t structured to handle it. Under this system, GPs feel more comfortable.” In addition to being supported by the MHSP fee structure, physicians like Guthrie are giving their colleagues a refresher course and the latest information about screening and treatment tools. “Under this program, GPs are doing a lot more mental health screening,” she said. “Fewer referrals are made to Mental Health and patients are dealt with in our offices. Our comfort level in these cases has increased dramatically. “I have always believed in the connection between mental illness and physical illness. Now I am better equipped.” Chronic pain, she said, is often the cause of depression. “We concentrate so much on the physical,” she said. “But if

we recognize and treat depression, patients are much better able to cope with physical pain. ‘Holistic’ is a word you hear bandied around, but that really is what this approach is all about.” Part of the Making it Real program involves a change in the medical billing system that allows GPs to bill MHSP for providing mental health services. “Mental health treatment is getting much better — change is definitely in the wind,” Guthrie said. “Now we need to make mental illness not have the stigma that has been associated with it. Then people will be more likely to seek help. “That’s one of the reasons I was so excited to become involved in this program.” Making it Real enables general practitioners like Guthrie to screen their patients more thoroughly for mental illness and diagnose conditions that were previously more difficult to detect. The program also includes tools for organizing patient issues, a cognitive-behavioural skills program, and a patient self-management workbook One of Guthrie’s patients, Gwen Benty, says that she has benefited from the Making it Real approach. “Tara has been our family doctor since we came to Creston,” Benty said. “A while ago I developed clinical anxiety and depression. I just started feeling overwhelmed and I wasn’t dealing with what I needed to deal with. I needed help.” As a nurse, Benty said she was familiar with the symptoms she was experiencing, but getting help can be an embarrassing step for a health care professional. That’s where Guthrie came in. “You need to have a level of trust when you have mental health issues,” Benty said. “I have that with Tara, but it was enhanced because she didn’t just automatically refer me to a specialist. “When Tara prescribed medication I had to let go, resisting

2012 ESCAPE XLT I4 FWD AUTO $ $ @ , .

the urge to look up the side effects. That’s a big step, because people with mental health problems can be ultra-paranoid, overthinking everything.” Going for an appointment with Guthrie and learning that mental health diagnosis and treatment is now a part of her everyday practice was a big help, she said. Benty’s mental health was affected by a physical condition. “Any acute illness puts stress on one’s mental health,” she said. “Unfortunately, in this age of specialization, there have become fewer and fewer medical professionals who have a whole view of their patients. And the waiting lists for specialists are huge. “I went to Tara with what I thought was just a physical illness, but she understood that I had a huge component of anxiety that needed to be treated. My physical problem turned out to be gallstones, but they were an incidental finding, and were not at all needing to be treated. The real problem was my anxiety/depression, which was causing stomach problems — digestion problems and constipation. Once the anxiety/ depression was treated, the stomach problems went away and I still have my two gallstones.” Benty said she advises anyone in a similar situation to make an appointment with a general practitioner. “You are already probably so caught up in your situation that it is much easier to talk to someone that you already have a relationship with. You need to understand that there is help available and that you need to engage with a level of trust before you can move on. “Don’t be afraid to ask for help — you have to give yourself permission to trust.” Having a physician who can diagnose and treat mental health issues can save time and reduce the added stress of being referred elsewhere. “This is a good step for GPs,” Guthrie said. “I know it feels right for my own practice. I’m sure of that.”

I was sitting at home in my favourite spot, on a leather couch in our solarium, laptop computer at hand and radio playing in the background. Suddenly, I thought I felt a draft. I got up and checked the many windows in the room, then the doors in the house. Nothing. Another draft pushed me to get up and see if there was a slit in the couchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leather through which air passed when I shifted in my seat. Nope. Then it hit me. CBC Radio was playing on the stereo and I had been focusing only about half my attention on the interview of federal Human Resources Minister Diane Finley. She was explaining changes to Employment Insurance (EI) that are targeting frequent users, who often happen to be people who harvest food, which tends not to be a year-round activity. These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changes, she insisted. They are clarifications. This was a response to a broad consultation across the country, she said. Business told the government that frequent EI recipients should be available to work, even if they have to move and work for lower wages than they earn where they were living. Oh, and she added, as though someone had hit her with a cattle prod, we consulted with workers, too. Yeah, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure, I thought. Then Finley launched into an explanation about how the â&#x20AC;&#x153;clarificationâ&#x20AC;? of EI eligibility would allow the government to enforce the requirements on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;regional basisâ&#x20AC;?, and utterly failed to explain how exactly that might work.

I had discovered the source of the breeze that had been puzzling me. Diane Finley was blowing smoke up my butt. My anxiety started to ease, knowing that she is

He issued a â&#x20AC;&#x153;clarificationâ&#x20AC;? the following day, this one in writing and very likely not by his own hand, to say that he supportLorne Eckersley ed the omnibus bill and would be pleased to vote in just a cabinet clone, selected not so favour.

Traffic made street unsafe for children

To the Editor: This year, I went to the Creston Lions Club’s children’s parade on May 21, and as much as I appreciate all the hard work that goes into putting on this event, I have to take issue with a strong safety concern. All previous years, the road between CIBC and 10th Avenue was blocked off to traffic for the parade. This year, the road was not blocked off and traffic was still allowed to drive on Canyon Street during the parade. During the start of the parade, eastbound traffic was stopped on the road with many cars parked on the side and many stopped in the lane of traffic until the children had come out of the parking lot behind the bank onto Canyon Street. It was then allowed to continue while the children were going west down one lane on Canyon Street. As far as I am concerned, this is not safe. You have miniature horses pulling a cart, dogs, young children riding bikes, scooters, some walking by themselves and some with parents — with moving traffic on one side. I would like to know why this happened and to make sure that it does not happen again. The children’s parade is something that is always fun for the

kids to do, and for parents, grandparents and those who enjoy seeing children have a good time, and I hate to see it made unsafe. I really do appreciate all the hard work that the Lions club does to promote and have this event every year, and I would like to see it continue, but in a safer manner, with the road blocked off to traffic for the parade as before. Carol Huscroft Creston

MP should bring civility to Parliament To the Editor: (Open letter to Kootenay-Columbia member of Parliament David Wilks) Thank you for your letter appealing to me to show my patriotism by displaying our beautiful Canadian flag. Please be advised that I have always and especially on Canada Day displayed our flag. I have done this symbolic gesture not because some politician told me to but out of love for my Canada. It is well known that Canadians are not known to be flagwaving phony citizens but people who make up this wonderful mosaic of people from every part of the globe to share the best country in the world with the native Canadians, the origi-

nal owners, and they all love their country. I suggest to you that instead of appealing to how we should behave, I would rather like to receive a report from you informing us, your constituents, about how you present our interests in Ottawa. After all, we are paying you well and also looking after your expenses. I would like you to help bring more civility to Parliament, and help to stop our prime minister from attacking democracy and attacking nature. Please make it clear to him that we only have one Earth and that it is sinful to destroy it for the sake of making corporations richer. I firmly believe that we have many more ways to build better communities, a better Canada and, above all, a cleaner, sustainable Earth besides waving the flag. The many people of the Creston Valley and all over Canada are doing just that and are often filling in where governments fail us. Yes, Mr. Wilks, I will celebrate Canada Day in my own way and also will display our great flag as I have always done. I will thank Canada for accepting me in 1952 and allowing me CLOSED to become a member of this diverse, SATURDAY, rich Canadian family made up of First Nations andMAY people 19of all races from all parts of the world, living together in harmony. I willEnjoy continue to try and be a Blossom Festival! good Canadian. Long live Canada, and God save our Queen! Best wishes for a thoughtful and happy Canada Day! Henry Dahle Creston

Residents should object to Jumbo I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me; and to me High mountains are a feeling…

So wrote the poet Lord Byron decades ago. It is a feeling that persists today in the hearts and minds of many of us, one that must have been sharpened among those who attended Wildsight’s slide presentation by Patrick Morrow and his wife Baiba Auders here on May 1. For we who live in this part of British Columbia — indeed, in almost any southern part of the province — it may be a feeling that we take for granted most of the time. High mountains are a part of who we are. They are always there. They surround us. They are not unlike the walls of our houses. They hold these particular parts of our globe together, while at the same time dividing them into separate liveable areas. Yet, as Byron says, high mountains have more than just practical value. For some First Nations people, parts of them, at least, are of spiritual — that is, religious — importance. For many of the rest of us, they are of spiritual value in another sense: they uplift us, conferring at once a sense of security and an opportunity to enjoy their particular,

many faceted, kind of beauty. It is in this context, I suggest, that we should consider the proposal to develop the Jumbo glacier area as a ski resort. Certainly there are many practical objections to this development. It will jeopardize the survival of the grizzly

bears and other wildlife that inhabit the area. The roads needed for access to the resort will scar the mountainside. It will benefit mainly a relatively small number of very rich people, many of them from abroad, while presenting unwanted competition for existing ski resorts nearby. A majority of those living in the municipal district have voiced opposition to the project. And the list goes on. But those — human and otherwise — who live in the vicinity are not the only ones with a stake in this matter. To misquote an even earlier poet, John Donne, no mountain is an island. Jumbo

is a part of all who inhabit a vast area surrounding it, even if most of them never see it, let alone climb it. It is a symbol of that feeling Byron felt. And for that reason, above all, it must be preserved in its pristine state. We cannot go on hacking away at our precious mountains. We must take a stand somewhere, insisting that enough is enough. And Jumbo, because of its uniqueness, because of its special beauty and because of the crass shallowness of the case for desecrating it, is an ideal place to take that stand. Until recently, the political powers that be have implicitly recognized that there is no justification for allowing development on Jumbo. Now they have changed their position for reasons that we can only guess — but certainly for none that reflect credit on them. They need to be reminded, forcefully, that Jumbo is special in its own right and, symbolically, that is an intrinsic example of our feeling for our mountains. So, even if we do not live below or close to Jumbo’s slopes, let us flood the politicians who would tarnish this gem with letters expressing our disappointment with and disapproval of the “unfeeling” course they have chosen. Peter Hepher is a retired journalist living in Creston.
