A Princeton family is furious after a loved-one had to wait more than ﬁve hours to get to Penticton Hospital after having a heart attack Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

A coworker quickly drove 58-year-old Noel Ashley to Princeton Hospital after he had a heart attack while working at Copper Mountain Mine on June 20, but he ended up waiting five hours to get to Penticton Hospital for treatment. The first call to have Ashley transferred to Penticton Hospital was made shortly after 7 p.m. that evening, and after a failed attempt to have a helicopter pick him up, he was treated by HART (High Acuity Response Team) members three hours later. The HART team, which is based out of Penticton, got Ashley to Penticton EARLY DEADLINE Hospital at 12:30 a.m., five hours after his transNOTICE fer was requested. for the “I am [upset] and July 4th Edition I’m scared. My sister’s All Ads & Insertions husband is in [Princeton Hospital] right now. He must be received been there ever since by THURSDAY June 28 has the mine got off work at NOON. at 6 p.m.,” said family Spotlight Ofﬁce will be member Nicki Regimbal McIvor on a Facebook CLOSED community page that Friday June 29. night.

for-service arrangements could be better for rural town like Princeton. He spoke to a packed crowd at the Riverside Centre on June 21.

Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Offering salaried positions instead of fee-for-service pay would be a major way to attract doctors to Princeton, said NDP Health Critic Mike Farnworth at a packed public forum at the Riverside Centre on June 21. “Fee-for-service is outdated. We need salaried positions for many rural towns in B.C.,” Farnworth said at the forum, with Interior Health representative Andrew “We need Neuner, Fraser-Nicola MLA salaried Harry Lali, Acting Mayor positions for Jason Earle and Area H director Brad Hope. many rural Salaried positions can be created in certain cases where towns in fee-for-service arrangements B.C.” may not guarantee doctors Mike Farnworth the financial support or staNDP Health Critic bility to provide care. Providing a salary could be an answer to health care problems in Princeton, where there are enough doctors to cover the population but not enough to run the emergency department 24-7, Farnworth said. A concern over not getting enough patients to make a living has been cited as one of the major reasons Princeton hasn’t been able to find a new doctor. Rural areas in B.C. like Princeton should not be run the same as large cities, Farnworth said. Alternatives to fee-for-service arrangements, where doctors are paid per patient they see, are becoming more popular, according to Ministry of Health. Farnworth said the long stretch of highway between Hope and Princeton is an unnerving example of the importance of having a 24-7 emergency room at Princeton Hospital. The emergency department has been closed from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday to Thursday since May. It was on LLTO status during grad weekend June 22 to 24 from midnight to 8 a.m. During LLTO (life, limb, threatened organ) statuses only the most serious cases will be seen by a doctor on call. Farnworth narrowly missed a head-on collision with a distracted driver while travelling through Manning Park. “It definitely struck home. If there was a head-on accident right there, what’s going to happen? How

long is it going to take the ambulance to get there? Is there an emergency room for me to go to?” Lali said the problem with B.C.’s health authorities is that they are set up as a corporate model, but should be run as a service. “Corporations run to make profit. The delivery of public services – whether education or health care – are run not to make a profit, but to deliver to the services,” he said. Princeton is having a difficult time finding a new doctor because services were pulled out of the hospital, meaning doctors couldn’t practice many of their skills in town, Lali said. “It’s like the chickenand-egg scenario. You start with level of resources provided to the community. When you pull those out, health care professionals will not come.” Why no delivery? Delivering babies is not done at hospitals that aren’t within half an hour of an operating room in case a Caesarean section has to be performed, said Neuner. He said doctors without operating rooms are very reluctant to deliver babies in case something goes wrong with the delivery. The number of babies born in Princeton - there were seven born in 2001 - wasn’t enough to keep the maternity ward open, Neuner said. “To ensure the safety of the moms and their babies, we’re had to consolidate ...He assured some of the obstetrical ser- me the vices in certain communities ministry has over the last few years,” he no intention said.

The Vermilion Trail Society held the Bridge of Dreams second annual dinner on June 23. The five-course meal was catered

by Thomasina’s Bread Shoppe, with music from harpist Ingrid Schellenberg in the background. A silent auction was held, which raised money for the public art piece in Two Rivers Park. If you missed this year’s dinner, the Vermilion Trail Society will be holding another next June.

Les Jenner and Frank Armitage enjoy their annual dinner on the bridge.

Diners put on their best for a five-course dinner on the Bridge of Dreams.

Okanagan singer to perform at Racing Days Contributed

Dale Seaman and Highway 97 will be at Princeton Racing Days on June 29, right after the races. Dale Seaman’s love of music started his professional singing career in 2004. Shortly thereafter he became the winner of the Okanagan Star Search (male vocal) in 2005. Getting instant recognition for his talents as a performer, he delighted patrons at the Merritt Mountain Music Festival. Since these humble beginnings, Dale has ‘wowed’ audiences in every part of the Western Provinces in Canada. There is no limit to the heights of popularity that Dale has experienced because audiences simply love his sound. Travelling up and down the Okanagan Valley, with his band consisting of the most versatile musicians, it would only seem logical that the band become Dale Seaman and Highway 97. Encouraged by audiences from all over Western Canada, Dale released his first CD to satisfy the demand from his fans to make his music available everywhere he performed. His first CD released in 2009 is entitled: Something I Had To Do featured three of Dale’s original songs awakening his spiritual song-writing talents. Listeners of radio and live performances, who have discovered Dale’s original creations, request these dance tunes to be performed over and over again. Dale’s song-writing skills compare equally to popular artists like Alana Jackson, Brad Paisley and Merle Haggard. Dale features cover tunes with such ease, but captures and created his own brand and style of music, making him a welcome and refreshing Canadian Artist who will be recognized among the great performers in Country Music. Here are some of the comments of what people are saying about Dale Seaman and Highway 97: The Royal Canadian Legion - Branch #40, Penticton, BC says: “Dale Seaman has been playing at our club for at least five years. He and his band are amazing and are the most requested entertainer that I bring in. Any event like a dinner or dance I book Dale as I know I’ll

Okanagan musician Dale Seaman will be performing his hits at Princeton racing days.

”As the lights go down and the music starts, Dale with his easy going and gentle demeanour suddenly turns into song-writer and singer. Then the dance floor erupts into a whirl of activity as he plays songs that he has written. Dale also sings many cover songs from all the old time country favourites.

SpotlightOPINION

B.C. wines sales still have hurdles to clear Staff Writer Penticton Western News

Okanagan wineries are anxiously awaiting pending legislation that could bring significant improvements to their bottom line A private member’s bill from OkanaganCoquihalla MP Dan Albas will introduce amendments to federal laws that restrict the sale of Canadian wine across provincial borders. Bill C-311, which eliminates a 1928 Prohibition-era law, cleared the Senate this week after previously receiving unanimous support in Parliament. It’s expected to receive Royal assent later this month. But it may still be a little early to pop any corks in celebration. Because even after Ottawa clears the way for wine to be shipped across provincial borders, wine sales will still be limited by a host of provincial legislation. The provinces still need to establish their own exemptions to allow the personal purchase and shipment of alcoholic beverages across provincial borders. Earlier this month, B.C. announced its own provincial tax exemptions for alcoholic beverages, with residents now allowed to bring back one standard case of wine (nine litres) from another province without paying B.C. tax on it. “Contrary to some public reports, Bill C-311 does not allow for the direct sale of liquor,” said B.C. minister Rich Coleman. “To allow this to happen, we need the co-operation and support of other provinces because Bill C-311 simply clarifies a province’s right to set limits to the quantity that can be imported and in what manner.” And there is some question whether the federal bill will clear the way for online sales of Canadian wine. Allowing tourists to bring home a case of Okanagan wine will undoubtedly see financial benefits trickle down to the industry, but opening the door to online sales would increase those benefits dramatically. So while the pending changes to federal regulations are a cause for celebration here in the Okanagan, more work is still needed to help B.C.’s wine industry tap into its potential.

This information likely won’t have any effect on the political like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of Here’s one. For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North absolute poverty, despite the fact that it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular end of the scale. BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food. explained this problem in a special report last year. People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much “To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and grocery shopping.

Most immigrants know this.

There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s the usual media authorities, like B.C. Federation of Labour presineeded is a useful way to define it. dent Jim Sinclair.

CELEBRATE LEGION WEEK IN YOUR COMMUNITY JUNE 24TH to 30TH, 2012 The Legion: A New Era of Community Service This year the Legion will celebrate 86 years of dedicated community service. In 155 communities throughout British Columbia and the Yukon, 63,000 Legionnaires and members of the Ladies Auxiliary serve all citizens with quiet dignity and distinction. In honour of this long history and fine community service, the Honourable Ida Chong, Minister, Community, Sport and Cultural Development, recently announced funding for Legion Branches throughout the Province, to host community celebrations highlighting Legion Week June 24th to 30th, 2012. Legion Week is officially Proclaimed by the Government of British Columbia and the Yukon Government to acknowledge and pay tribute to the Legion’s often unsung community contributions. In moving forward for the next era of community service, bold, new and innovative programs are being developed under the leadership of the Legion’s BC/Yukon Command. “Communities and families want their local Legion Branch to be a place for fun, social activities and to be a hub of volunteerism. Many of our branch re-developments are being structured to provide housing, social spaces, community halls and meeting places for volunteerism and to build on the social fabric of communities. We plan to be here into the future and meeting the needs of the communities we serve is how we plan to do that” stated Bob Brady, President, BC/Yukon Command Legion Week is a time for the public to learn more about their local Legion Branch. The Legion contributes well over $6.9 Million every year for a vast array of community health, social, athletic, youth and educational programs, serving all citizens. They also raise in excess of $21 Million through gaming, which is reinvested in communities throughout the Province. The Legion’s assisted and affordable housing program is among the largest in British Columbia. Volunteer hours are as equally impressive, with 600,000 contributed by Legion members every year. In addition, Legion, BC/Yukon Command also leads the country in developing tailored programs for a new generation of Veterans. The Legion partners with the University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Victoria (UVIC) and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), to fund and provide comprehensive education, transition and trauma counseling programs for Veterans of all ages. The Legion Veterans Transition Program with UBC assists those suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder. The Legion Military Skills Conversion Program with BCIT opens the door to educational and entrepreneurial opportunities. Cockrell House on Vancouver Island offers a two year transitional program for homeless Veterans. These ground-breaking and life-changing programs are designed all in aid of assisting military personnel to successfully transition from military to civilian life.

“Our communities need these men and women to know that their service to this country is valued and when they return. The Legion welcomes and supports them.” commented President Brady. “The Legion is always there for Veterans and they are always there for their fellow citizens. The future is bright for the Legion in British Columbia and we welcome those who share in our vision of community service”.

Coalmont man helps get deﬁbrillator Contributed

When representatives from the Philips Company learned one of their HeartStart Home Defibrillators saved the life of Coalmont’s Bob Sterne, they decided they wanted to meet the man. Francesca Infantine of Philips invited Bob and his wife Diane to visit their plant that produces home defibrillators. In April, Bob and Diane drove to Bothell, Washington where they were wined-and-dined by a welcoming group of folk from Philips. After a tour of the plant, Bob and Diane retold (to a group of Philips employees) the events of December 30 when Bob suffered a cardiac arrest while shovelling snow. Francesca explained that it was an important morale booster for their family of employees to personally meet someone whose life their product saved. A question and answer session followed and then Bob and Diane were presented with an AED (defibrillator) complete with training pads (valued at over $2,000). Philips general manager Bob Peterhans hoped it would be appropriately donated to someone in this area. Bob immediately thought of the Princeton and District Highway Extrication Society and contacted them. President Doug Pateman said he would be thrilled to accept the AED as they did not yet have one. AEDs are crucial for treating anyone who has suffered a cardiac arrest. It is important that first responders, such as the Princeton and District Highway Extrication Society, have their own machine. Ventricular fibrillation has a good prognosis when it is treated quickly with CPR and an AED. Without fast treatment it results in sudden death.

Minutes count! After only five minutes the victim’s chances of survival begin to drop dramatically. PAD (public access defibrillation) is the practice of placing AEDs in public locations. Many communities in the United States are promoting the placement of AEDs in office buildings, community centers, apartments, stores, hotels, residential facilities and businesses and training the public in CPR and the use of AEDs. Home defibrillators are easy to use because the machine prompts the operator on what to do. Even if the shock button is accidentally pushed, it will not shock the patient unless a shock is required. Thanks to the generosity of the Philips Company, the Princeton area is now one AED richer. Hopefully the Princeton and District Highway Extrication Society will be able to save lives with the use of this amazing machine.

Jailed Canadians to face French courts Steve Arstad Kememeos Review

The court case involving three Canadians arrested in New Caledonia after 200 kilograms of cocaine was found on their sailboat will be taking place in France. New Caledonian Attorney General Clair Lanet told the Keremeos Review on June 15 that the case was “out of her hands”

as the three Canadians are in the process of being transferred to France, where they will be tried in supreme court. Lanet said that the action took place because organized crime is suspected to be linked to the smuggling operation. On March 31, an unregistered sailboat was seized off the New Caledonian coast and three crew arrested after cocaine with a street value of between 70 and 200 million

dollars was detected through a joint effort involving the U.S. DEA. the Australian Federal Police, and the New Caledonian military. The three Canadians - widely believed to be Bob and Cindy Stanley and Gary Yuzik, all of whom formerly had ties to Keremeos in the recent past - have not been officially identified by French police, ten weeks after their arrest.

David DeWolfe (left) and Olivier Boulais passed through Princeton on their way across Canada to raise money for cystic fibrosis - a deadly genetic disease. The men aren’t professional athletes - in fact, one is a piano teacher and the other does graphic design) - but decided to raise money for a cure for the disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other areas of the body. “Someone born today in Canada has a life expectancy of 48 years. Ten years ago it was only 20,” DeWolfe said. They will cycle 8,400 kilometres to Halifax, NS by the end of this summer.

Astronomical observations of days gone by Ken Tapping Keremeos Review

Outside, rain is falling from a leaden sky, and it looks as though it will continue for the rest of the day. As I write this, the transit of Venus is half over, and there is no sign the weather will clear. Things do not look good for seeing today’s transit of Venus, the last for more than 100 years. Hopefully others across Canada will have more luck. A cynical possible consolation is that in the past others travelled halfway around the world to see transits of Venus, and instead of seeing Venus moving between them and the Sun, they saw clouds. We’re seeing the same thing without the inconvenience of having to travel. There is a marvellous book by Canadian astronomer Don Fernie, called “The

Whisper and the Vision,” in which he describes trips made by early astronomers to make important observations. One of the astronomers mentioned in the book is Guillaume Le Gentil. Born in 1725, Le Gentil showed great potential as an astronomer and was elected to the French Academy of Sciences. He was the one picked to travel to Pondicherry in India to observe the 1761 transit of Venus, to measure the precise distance of the Sun and establish the scale of the Solar System. He set sail in early 1760. When he arrived at Isle de France he heard that Pondicherry was besieged by the British and he would have to wait until the siege was lifted. He hitched a ride to Pondicherry on a troopship loaded with French reinforcements. However a series of storms blew them off course and the day of the transit found Le Gentil in the middle of the Indian Ocean. He was forced to observe the transit from the rocking deck of a ship and could make no useful observations because his clocks and other instruments needed firm ground under them. Rather than fight his way back to France and then out again for the second transit of the pair, which would happen in 1769, he decided to travel directly to Manila in the Philippines, where his calculations indicated would be an ideal place

to observe it. He laboriously made his way there, set up and let the Academy know what he had done. He got an angry reply, telling him to get back to Pondicherry. Since the Academy was paying, he reluctantly obeyed. On the day of the second transit there was a huge storm, with high winds, clouds and rain. He got to see nothing of the transit at all. What added to his misery was the news he received later that observing conditions had been ideal in Manila. Enduring hurricanes and storms, he finally got home in 1771, only to find that he was believed to have died on his travels, and his estate had been ransacked by family members and those claiming to be his creditors. It took a long and expensive court battle to get at least some of his property back. However, the Academy awarded him a special position and he lived out the last 20 years of his life in relative peace. He died in 1792, escaping the French Revolution and probably the guillotine by a few months. There is no question that we astronomers have an easier time of it today. Mercury is low in the west after sunset. Mars and Saturn dominate the southern sky. Ken Tapping is an astronomer with the National Research Council’s Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory, Penticton.

Government should come clean on trade concessions: Atamanenko Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC Southern Interior, says it is quite clear that the Conservative government has put Canada’s supply management system for dairy, poultry and eggs on the negotiating table in secretive trade talks, despite often repeated campaign promises not to do so. The BC MP is disturbed but not surprised by secret briefing documents for the Minister of International Trade obtained by Postmedia stating that in order to be welcomed into the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Canada is willing to negotiate anything, including “thorny” issues such as supply management, and declaring the government “willing and able to use their majority to make decisions”. “The government’s recent theft and delivery of the Canadian Wheat Board to corporate interests should make it clear to anyone

that this government is quite willing to sacrifice farmers to play with the big boys,” Atamanenko said. New Democrats, including Leader Tom Mulcair, have hammered away at the government during Question Period this week to uncover concessions that government has made to gain Canada’s recently announced entry into the TPP. In typical fashion, the Conservatives refused to come clean. NDP Agriculture Critic Malcolm Allen has expressed his concerns as well on what may be lost. “By putting supply management in the cross hairs of these negotiations, the Conservative government is attacking the livelihood of dairy and poultry farmers right across the country; farmers who expect this government to live up to its word.”

“The supply managed sectors provide clear benefits to Canada and should never be compromised, in trade talks or otherwise,” said NDP International Trade Critic Don Davies. “There is no more efficient marketing system that can deliver safe local foods to Canadians and allow farmers in hundreds of Canadian communities to earn a decent living from the marketplace,” concluded Atamanenko. “Unlike other countries such as the U.S. who heavily subsidize their producers, Canada’s supply management policy doesn’t cost taxpayers a cent,” For more information call the office of Alex Atamanenko at 250365 2792.

On Monday, those entering the gallery for the preliminary inquiry had to walk through a metal detector. Besides the sniffles of family trying to hold back tears, this time the gallery remained quiet. Not that the intensity still wasn’t there. One sheriff warned a man that he would be booted out of the courtroom if he didn’t stop staring and smiling at Bobbitt. The accused has remained emotionless through

the testimony so far. Crown counsel said the preliminary inquiry, held to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial, will run until Wednesday this week and four days are scheduled next week if more time is needed. According to Crown, the first part of the inquiry would

Metal detectors at the court entrance and a warning from sheriffs came at the start of the preliminary inquiry for the man accused of a brutal assault in Penticton. David Wesley Bobbitt is facing charges of attempted murder, two counts of unlawful confinement or imprisonment, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, assault with a weapon and two counts of uttering threats, stemming from an incident that took place on the August long weekend last year. A 22-year-old Penticton woman, whose name is under a publication ban to protect her identity, and her toddler son were held inside Dave’s Second Hand Store for over 10 hours on July 30. It is alleged Bobbitt severely beat the woman and confined her to a bed in his store on Ellis Street with her son nearby. Bobbitt was arrested, following a four-day manhunt, just south of Oliver. The emotionally charged first appearance for Bobbitt at the Penticton Courthouse last August was not going to be repeated warned sheriffs. “It was a bit of a circus last time,” said the sheriff to the gallery on Monday before the proceedings got underway. “There will be no outbursts this time. We will not tolerate it, and anyone who does, we will throw them out.” During his first appearance, Bobbitt was mouthing words to the courtroom filled with the woman’s family and friends. This resulted in one man standing and yelling obscenities at Bobbitt from the gallery. The exchanges continued afterwards as Bobbitt was escorted by Mark Brett/Western sheriffs to the transport vehicle. The David Wesley Bobbitt expresses his anger while entering the father of the toddler charged the chain Penticton Court House for the second day of his preliminary link fence and Bobbitt yelled out, “I’ll inquiry relating to a number of charges including attempted murder and aggravated sexual assault stemming from an inciget you later.” dent last August.

Kokanees sport wacky costumes Special to the Spotlight Lindsay van Genne Kokanees head coach

The Princeton Kokanees have been churning up the water since the start of their 2012 season. The club hosted its annual fun “Black and Blue Meet” on May 30. Both teams showed great spirit and creativity. Unique costumes and loud cheering were the trademark for the day. On June 9 the club hosted the first ever Tri-Meet inviting the Merritt Otters and Penticton Pikes to participate. The tri-meet was a huge success despite the blustery temperature, a whopping 12 C. Swimmers showed true grit as they braved winds between races. It was suggested the meet name be changed to the Polar Bear Swim. In true Kokanee fash- “It was ion swimmers and parents met the day’s chal- suggested the lenges with a smile. meet name The Kokanees have also been working on be changed endurance training this season, gradually extend- to the Polar ing distances swam in Bear Swim” practice. Swimmers tested Lindsay van Genne their limits at the annual Head coach swim-a-thon and proved that they have a lot of heart. The combined distances of all participants was the equivalent of swimming from Princeton to Tulameen and raised almost $4,000 to help cover operating costs. Kokanees swam a whopping 2,902 laps in the Centennial Pool during this years swim-a-thon. Kokanees were rewarded with a pie-throw for each $100 raised for the club. Lucky recipients of the pies were good sports Lindsay van Genne, Alyssa Larson, and Pete van Genne, the Kokanee coaches. The club is now training for sanctioned meets and working hard to prepare for regionals.

Got Hard Water? Many areas in the interior of BC have hard water. Lime scale deposits, caused by high calcium content in the water, causing not only hard to clean stains on shower doors, glass ware and other surfaces but it also wreaks havoc on dishwashers, laundry machines and the heating elements in boilers. As local plumber Melvin Witter explains “Due to hard water, taps often need to be replaced once a year and hot water tanks can sometime only last 3-4 years as well.” The loss in energy efficiency is significant and cost associated with the replacement of a broken boiler heating element can be a tough pill to swallow. Traditional water softeners are not only expensive, but they use electricity and require constant refills of salt. Due to the high sodium content of softened water it is not recommended for drinking, which means that additional costs are often incurred purchasing bottled water. Reverse osmosis systems are also a costly affair. Recently a BC family decided to bring a proven European water technology to the Canadian marketplace. Best Water For You, based in Keremeos, BC distributes devices that can effectively solve the lime scale

problem without the negative side effects of traditional water softeners. “This is a product that is almost maintenance free” says Gloria Fedirchuck who installed a device in her Osoyoos home. “No more bags of salt etc. It is also a very "small" piece of equipment - no more large water softener that takes up space. Best of all it gets rid of the lime scale - clears shower doors, clears wine glasses, and provides nearly 'smooth' sinks - i.e. there is very little lime residue to clean up. Showering is a delight - skin, hair feels smooth, soft and nice to touch - without creams and conditioners.” Other areas of application for water vitalization include hot tubs, pools and natural ponds. Here the technology can dramatically reduce the amount of chemicals needed to maintain water quality. In natural ponds water quality also improves while foul odours and algae growth are diminished. These water vitalization devices are a natural and green technology solution to a common problem in the Okanagan and will surely attract attention. They not only address the lime scale problem but offer several other benefits such as improved taste. You can find more information online at www.bestwater.ca or by calling 1-855-499-8892.

Wait time is unacceptable: Sister-in-law Continued from Page 1.

”

“Thank God he lasted those four hours plus the time it took to travel to Penticton” Nicki Regimbal-McIvor Sister-in-law

after giving up on a

“[He’s] in the middle of a heart attack. It is now 9:59 p.m. and still no ambulance.” A helicopter was called to fly Ashley to Kelowna General Hospital, where heart surgeries are performed. But helicopters from both Vancouver and Kelowna were busy at the time, said BC Ambulance chief operating officer Les Fisher. At 8:13 p.m., helicopter arriving, the

HART team was called from Penticton to get Ashley. The team got to Princeton at 10:07 p.m.nearly two hours after they were alerted. HART, which includes a team of critical care nurses, worked on the ill man in Princeton until 11 p.m., and made it back to Penticton at 12:30 a.m. The five-hour wait to get Ashley to Penticton was outrageous to sister-in-law Regimbal-McIvor. “The family waited and waited, thinking that Noel was going to pass right in front of their eyes,” she said. The HART ambulance is used so doctors and nurses are able to stay in Princeton, and not have to travel with patients to Penticton. Usually a doctor and nurse need to accompany a patient in an ambulance, leaving the hospital without sufficient coverage.

The ambulance is equipped with gear to treat heart attack patients on the way to Penticton Hospital. HART team members took nearly an hour to leave Princeton Hospital because they were getting Ashley ready for transport, such as checking his vital signs, said Fisher. But Regimbal-McIvor would rather her brother-in-law be at Penticton Hospital as soon as possible in a regular ambulance, instead of having to wait for the HART ambulance to make its way to Princeton. Ashley was originally supposed to go to Kelowna Hospital because Penticton Hospital doesn’t do heart surgeries. A woman requiring immediate heart surgery was airlifted to Kelowna earlier this month. But emergency personnel were forced to find another way to get Ashley to a hospital. “They then tried to look into other options.

Those discussions went on for a little over an hour,” Fisher said Based on Ashley ending up going to Penticton instead of for surgery in Kelowna, Fisher said the urgency in his situation had likely decreased. But Ashley’s situation turned out to be serious. He was soon sent to Kelowna, where he received three stents in his heart and found out he had a major heart attack, said Regimbal-McIvor. “Thank God he lasted those four hours plus the time it took to travel to Penticton. I want to know why [Interior Health Authority] told us we were safe and that they had helicopters and HART vans to transport quickly,” Regimbal-McIvor said. “I don’t consider a four-hour wait time appropriate in any way. This is unacceptable.”

New electricity bills begin in July Contributed

Beginning in July, FortisBC’s residential electricity customers will see a new residential conservation rate on their bill. Earlier this year FortisBC received a decision from the BC Utilities Commission to implement this type of rate. The residential conservation rate establishes a two-level rate structure that offers a lower rate for the first block of electricity used by residential customers, and a higher rate for use that exceeds the first block threshold. FortisBC was directed by the BC Utilities Commission to implement this type of rate, which is intended to encourage conserva-

tion and support our customers to use less electricity. The new rate is designed to recover the same amount of revenue from residential customers in total. Starting July 1, residential customers will pay 8.258 cents per kilowatt hour up to 1,600 kilowatt hours of electricity used over a twomonth billing period and then 12.003 cents for electricity used above that amount. The basic customer charge also decreases to $29.65 from $30.52. “We encourage all of our customers to use energy efficiently. Through the FortisBC PowerSense program, we support our customers as they take steps to make their homes more energy efficient. The cumulative effect of efforts to conserve energy benefits every

FortisBC electricity customer,” said FortisBC spokesman Tom Loski. Under FortisBC’s residential conservation rate, the first 1,600 kWh block of electricity used every two months will be billed at a lower rate than the current FortisBC flat rate. All electricity used above the first block will be charged at a higher rate. Rates for commercial, wholesale, lighting and irrigation customers will remain the same. The average FortisBC electricity customer that uses approximately 2,100 kWh every two months should see no significant changes to their monthly cost of electricity under the residential conservation rate. For customers who are concerned about changing monthly bills, FortisBC continues

to offer an equal payment plan which allows customers to avoid seasonal fluctuations on their bill by paying an equal amount every month. Energy Saving Kits are also available for free to help make energy efficiency improvements more affordable for low-income customers. FortisBC is committed to helping customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both financial incentives and advice on energy efficient technologies and practices. Since 1989, our PowerSense program has helped electrical customers in the Southern Interior conserve more than 380 million kilowatt hours of electricity, which is enough to power close to 30,000 homes each year.
