Recruiting film highlights efforts BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

TODAY'S WEATHER

The Creston Valley’s approach to attracting new physicians to the area has won recognition and accolades. And it’s now about to be featured in a provincial recruiting film being made to supplement efforts to address the doctor shortage. A film crew visited Creston on Friday, shooting footage of Dr. Susan Hopkins,

who chose Creston as her family’s new home last year. She was actively courted by what is now the Health Working Group and recruiter Marilin States. The program is jointly funded by the Town of Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay areas B and C. Health Match BC, the agency designated to fill health care vacancies around the province, is now creating a film to promote the benefits of working in B.C.

This week's weather artist:

Eva Nadler, Erickson Elementary School

“The film is being produced to showcase B.C. to physicians practicing in the United Kingdom through the eyes and experiences of physicians who have located to our provinces,” States said. “Dr. Hopkins was one of three physicians chosen to appear in the film — the other two are males, one in a large urban community and another in a small rural community with no hospital.

See RECRUITMENT, page 3

In a performance that might have been inspired by Olympic bronze medallist Antoine Valois-Fortier, Creston’s Kaeden Rendek has brought home a silver medal from the 2013 Canadian Judo Championships. Valois-Fortier spent three days in Creston in April, presenting a series of seminars at the Creston Judo Club. He brought his Olympic medal, too. Rendek dutifully opens the case that holds his Canadian Judo Championships silver medal and beams. The medal, about the size of a beer coaster, and much, much heavier, is a first for Creston. The 12-year-old judoka is this area’s first-ever national medallist in his chosen sport. “It isn’t as heavy as Antoine’s,” laughs Kaeden’s father, Terry Rendek, “but it’s beautiful, isn’t it?” The lead-up to Kaeden’s medalwinning efforts came after nearly a year of travel to tournaments in Prince George, Edmonton, Montreal, Fernie, Invermere, Regina and five in the Lower Mainland.

Recruitment

From page 1 “Health Match BC represents and showcases all of B.C. in both the national and international physician recruitment marketplace. Their level of service to the applicant and the Creston Valley health working group is outstanding.” John Mabbott, executive director of Health Match BC, said on Tuesday that Creston was selected to be featured in the film for three reasons. “First, Dr. Hopkins is a perfect subject, being British and having a family with her in Creston. Second, Marilin States was available to assist the film crew with the logistics and, third, and certainly not least, Creston is a gorgeous setting.” Mabbott said the film will be available on the Health Match BC website and YouTube when complete. “We are renewing our marketing materials and we try to show each rural area in B.C.,” he said. “A video like this helps put the icing on the cake when we are showing doctors in Canada and in other countries what we have to offer, both in the way of their practise and in lifestyle.” Hopkins first connected with Health Match BC when she was considering a move to Canada. She graduated from University of Birmingham Medical School in England and practised in the United Kingdom until she and her husband started talking about relocating with their two children. They wanted more of an outdoor lifestyle, she told the Advance in an article written prior to her arrival in Creston last May. Hopkins had visited several Kootenay communities on an earlier tour that included Creston. She had already heard from States, who wrote to extol the virtues of the Creston Valley, its culture and geography. “While I was in Creston I was impressed by the sense of community that came from everyone I met,” she said in the Advance article. “Marilin was a great host and I had the chance to meet some of the physicians in town, who gave me the impression they worked hard but also had a good worklife balance and were enjoying raising their families in the valley. We think that the climate and spectacular surroundings will make for the perfect place for our family to grow up.” Movie camera rolling, Hopkins ducked into the changing room and emerged in her bathing suit. She slipped into the busy pool and joined her children, a regular Friday routine for the family. They made several trips around the lazy river water feature, which was filled with yellow plastic ducks, as it is every Friday morning. Earlier, she was filmed at Skimmerhorn Winery, where the agricultural aspects of the Creston Valley are in full and dramatic view, as are the Skimmerhorn mountains, which loom over Canyon to the east. “The health working group is a good investment by the town and RDCK directors,” Mayor Ron Toyota commented. “It shows what we can do when we all work togeter.”

Community resource centre earns three-year accreditation BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Eighteen months of hard work paid off for the Creston and District Community Resource Centre (CRC), which was recently told it earned a three-year accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Accreditation is required when an organization receives over $500,000 from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, which funds the majority of the CRC’s $1.2 million budget. “The accreditation process is intended to indicate that the organization is dedicated and committed to improving the equality of the lives of the people the organization serves,” said board chair Rita Scott. “It clearly shows the services, personnel and

documentation establish a pattern of practiced excellence.” Led by executive director Serena Naeve, finance and administration manager Justine Keirn and clinical supervisor Colleen Deatherage, the CRC’s staff and management worked overtime and weekends to ensure programs met CARF standards. That was no small matter. While some small communities have a halfdozen or less programs, the CRC runs 27, 13 of which required accreditation — meaning that each program in the areas of counseling, children in adolescence, early childhood development, intensive family based services, and promotion and prevention programming had to meet 1,300 internationally-recognized standards for administration and direct services. “We have such a wide and diverse number of services delivered to the

community, the accreditation process was extremely time consuming and complex,” said Scott. “I’m so impressed with the dedication and industry that went into this.” The outcome wasn’t assured — upon completing the review, an agency can receive accreditation for one or three years, or none at all. That the CRC earned three years is not only a matter of pride, it comes with the hope that the review process will be simpler when its accreditation expires in June 2016. “It will be a question of maintaining and building on what’s been accomplished at this point,” said Scott. And it should make it easier for the CRC to leverage other funds with the goal of providing additional services to the Creston Valley. “It assures funders, clients and community partners that we’re doing things right,” said Scott.

Silver medal

From page 1 “I had a lot of qualifiers — I had to go to Saskatchewan to fight in the Saskatchewan Open Championships with the B.C. team,” Kaeden said on Friday. “I won both of my matches and I won a gold medal. That pushed me farther and farther ahead of my competitors in B.C., and when I went to regional tournaments I would beat them and that would put me higher in points. To qualify for the nationals, it’s all about points.” The Canadian nationals were held at the Richmond Olympic Oval, constructed to host speed skating events in the 2010 Winter Olympics. With four mats in the arena (a single mat is all that the Adam Robertson Elementary School gym can hold), two skating rinks, a dozen or two ping-pong tables, a huge fitness centre and four basketball courts, the Richmond facility might have felt a little overwhelming — especially with as many as 5,000 attending the fights. “I really cancelled out the crowd until the last match,” Kaeden said. “We’ve done a lot of focusing exercise and practice, so I eventually just blocked out the crowd.” After spending two days doing warmups and watching older competitors in the U-18 and U-21 age divisions, Kaeden said he was ready for action on day 3. “[For my] first match I walked out and I was kind of nervous, but I Xed out the crowd and just stared at my opponent. I threw him for an ippon, which was a win — he landed flat on his back. I felt comfortable after getting all those butterflies out — I just wanted to get onto the next match. “For my second match I warmed up and I watched my opponent’s previous match to study what he was doing. My coaches came down and we diagnosed it. We discussed how I could counter and what throws would be good for me to use against him. I went in and he had a really tough gi (uniform). I grabbed him and bent my nails back. It was like grabbing a brick wall and I had to fight through the pain. I grabbed him — and this is something my sensei and I had been practicing — I tightened up on his arm and flipped out his leg. And I got the win, which I was pretty proud of, because my dad told me earlier when we checked the U-15 brackets (18 fighters in total) — ‘Two fights and you’re in; you can get a medal.’ ” With two wins under his belt, the reality of his situation began to set in. “I finished my second match and I was so proud and happy, then I started thinking about my final match and I was like, ‘I don’t know if I can win this.’ I tried to believe in myself, though. “Once I got on the mat I was rid of all my butterflies. I was warmed up and ready to go. We fought all the way to regulation time — three minutes. Then, 2:42 into the overtime round, he threw me. Just before that, I threw him and that

would have won me the gold medal, but the referees on the side waived it off.” He came about as close as possible to walking away with a gold medal. “I was really disappointed in myself that I didn’t win the gold medal and I thought everybody was going to be mad at me,” he said. “Then I got off the mat and everybody started hugging me and I was just like, ‘Wow, you’re not mad that I lost?’ “They said, ‘No, you’re the first guy from Creston to ever medal.’ I was really mad at myself, but after I thought about it — a silver medal is better than nothing.”

Public should have more input on PAWS funding To the Editor: Recent advertisements in the Creston Valley Advance (page 8, Aug. 1 issue) inform everyone in Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay areas A, B and C that the RDCK plans a special annual tax upon them to support the Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) unless at least 980 persons indicate objection by signing a special form in opposition. PAWS is a charity that looks after unwanted animals, comparable to the SPCA but without the euthanasia option. Like other local charities, it needs funding to keep going and publicly campaign for funds. I don’t know much about its workings but accept it as a good charity for our area. The ads are to allow the RDCK to later claim the public approved the new tax before it was levied. I am very uncomfortable, however, with the way the RDCK is arranging for ongoing support of PAWS out of public funds. It is normal practice when levying a new tax to first have it discussed publicly and/or hold a referendum. Yet the alternative approval process (AAP) that introduces this tax to claim public approval only gives everyone less than six weeks notice and assumes that if enough people don’t formally object in that time then the voter majority must be in approval. This process is similar to “negative option billing”, which the federal government banned in 1999 for businesses. That practice, which involved companies arbitrarily adding new services to existing customers and

charging them while claiming that the consumers ordered the services because they were given the chance to opt out but didn’t respond in time, is underhanded and is listed as an unfair practice by B.C.’s Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act. It is not illegal in the case of the RDCK, as regulations say governments can do it. The RDCK’s Creston Valley services committee arranged the tax in May 2013 but it wasn’t made public until late July, when most people were on holiday and unconcerned with local political activities. Less than six summer weeks, ending Sept. 9, were allowed for negative feedback. Negative response to the tax requires at least 10 per cent (980) of eligible voters make the effort during their summer period to obtain, sign and submit a special form — this from a community where less than 30 per cent of voters normally turn out for well-advertised municipal elections. The required form may be downloaded from the RDCK website, if one knows how to find it, or obtained from the RDCK office beside the Creston and District Public Library, both methods requiring especial effort by a dissenter. The form does not say how or where to submit it. The above requirements indicate to me that this new tax for ongoing yearly support of a private charity is clearly intended to be passed without any public discussion but with claimed prior public approval to answer any later objections. The financial cost of this tax to most of us will not be great. Whether all taxpayers, agreeing with PAWS activities or not, should be forced by special taxation to support them without having a fair chance to object is one question. A more serious question is the use of the alternative approval process to pass such taxes. If an AAP technique is considered acceptable in this instance, it will probably be used for increasingly larger projects in the future. Please sign one of the

forms to register any discontent with this RDCK action and return it to the RDCK office beside the Creston library or mail it to Manager of Administrative Services, RDCK, Box 590, 202 Lakeside Drive, Nelson, BC, V1L 5R4. W. Allen McLaren West Creston

Alternative approval process not democratic To the Editor: The Regional District of Central Kootenay board of directors has decided to use the alternative approval process for the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society bylaw, outlined in the advertisement in the Aug. 1 edition (page 8) of the Creston Valley Advance. If passed, the bylaw is negative option, the practice of giving people a service that was not previously provided and then charging them for the service unless they specifically decline it. The flaw in the process is that it gives those in favor of the bylaw 100 per cent of the vote at the beginning and it’s up to those opposed to start a campaign with only 30 days notice. Those in favor of the bylaw don’t have to do anything because they win by default. It’s mid-summer, and many people are on vacation, making it very difficult to ramp up a campaign with 30 days’ notice. While the RDCK may choose to use the alternative approval process defined by the B.C. Community Charter, in my opinion, it’s not democratic. Mike Somerville Wynndel

Mindfulness enhances communication

Many techniques to improve communication have been made popular through books and workshops. Tools such as assertiveness, deep listening and use of nonviolent language can improve relationships, but so often, even though we know these techniques, we fall back into old patterns. The techniques are good, but they are only techniques. The problem with a technique is that we apply the learned skill like a tool or a recipe and use it only when necessary. Techniques don’t change the basic tendencies that keep popping up in our communication patterns. We go on autopilot and follow a programmed response in our close relationships. Breaking these old patterns is essential if we want a new way of living and new habit formations that afford us opportunities to choose new ways of responding to others. Using the principles of mindfulness, we can break the old patterns of communication that keep us stuck in a reactive mode of relating and responding to others.

As with all mindfulness practices, the first step is to stay with your breath. When engaged in a conversation, periodically returning to the breath helps

maintain mindfulness of the physical sensations, feelings and thoughts that arise as we communicate. It helps us stay present in the moment to hear fully what others are saying, and to know how to respond appropriately. It gives us the still point in which intelligent choice arises. It is from this still point that we can elect to apply the techniques of communication that we have learned. Ask yourself, “Is what I want to say important enough to break the silence?”

UOTE OF THE

Many times we speak or respond to situations that do not call for our response or observation. This could be motivated by a desire to be sociable, but often such behavior clutters the mind and distracts the attention of the communicants. It can also cloud the communication, creating misunderstandings about intention. Importantly, it moves us away from a place of awareness or mindfulness. Make sure that what you have to say is true. What is true is not necessarily factua1. To know what is “true” is to know what is most helpful to everyone in any given situation. To say what is true, we have to drop our fixed positions and opinions and really be aware of the reality of the moment. We need to ask ourselves, what would be harmful to say, what would be helpful and is this the best time to say it? To do so in the heat of the moment takes a lot of mindfulness.

Corn Creek issue needs to pass ‘sanity law test’

There is a wooden bridge a stone’s throw from West Creston Hall, with

Corn Creek eating its way on both sides of the creek, getting closer to the bridge,

especially during spring snowmelt and after each major rainfall. No wonder the

original name of the creek was Storm Creek! (It was “renamed” Corn Creek by a newspaper story error.) Many large trees have fallen victim already. Some old, large, beautiful cedar trees might be gone before long.

Consider This Vladimir Certik

Officials of all kinds are scratching their heads not knowing when and how to eliminate this threat. I am sure that all their possible “solutions” involve piles of federal, provincial and local taxpayers’ money. Is there a better way of solving this problem? I do believe there is: the “sanity law test”. Picture this: a large excavator, a number of dump trucks and residents of Creston Valley interested in inexpensive river stone, gravel and sand. If the machine cuts a few-hundred-metrelong, 10-20-metre-wide, 1-1.5-metre-deep channel above the bridge, all troubled water will be directed to the right place during the spring and after every heavy rain. I am positive a good number of property owners would gladly pay, let’s say, cost plus 10 per cent for stones, gravel and sand cleared from the creek bed. Businesses would be all too happy to participate, YRB would have one less problem to worry about, and Creston Valley residents would enjoy a natural swimming pool. Trees on both sides of the creek would be saved for years to come. It would not cost taxpayers anything. Everybody saves, everybody benefits. If needed, this could be repeated every few years. By the way, YRB’s gravel and rock yard is right next to the bridge. Do you think YRB would be interested in material doled out of the troublemaking Corn Creek? The same approach can be applied across the valley, province or country. I believe a similar thing can be done on Goat River where Highway 21 crosses over. This type of solution is from the people, by the people, for the people. Those who live in the land are the first who can take care of the land, protect the environment, benefit from nature and have the best possible outdoor recreation at close to zero cost available for at least three to five months each and every year. Does this proposal appeal to you? If yes, I ask you to join me in pushing this idea into action. Let’s see if we can advise people in the right places to work for the benefit of us all, saving taxpayers’ money and the environment, giving residents something to freely use, enjoy and cherish. Contact officials, YRB, local representatives, neighbours, friends and outdoor enthusiasts. Let us show everybody we care how our little forgotten foxhole functions. My desired side effect is to bring a fresh breeze into the minds of inflexible bureaucrats playing in their respective sandboxes, fighting sanity all the way from cradle to grave. Yes, let sanity prevail for once. Vladimir Certik believes that thinking outside the box and engaging fellow citizens may bring simple solutions to complex problems. The West Creston resident can be reached at 250-402-0055.

Mindfulness

From page 7 The most important question we have to ask ourselves is, is what I have to say beneficial? If what we have to say will cause unnecessary harm to ourselves or others, it’s best not to say it. Suggested Practice: Before speaking, ask yourself, is what I have to say harmful? If yes, don’t say it. Is what I have to say helpful? If yes, then wait for the right time. Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Creston’s ZenWords Zen Centre.
