Efforts underway to recruit new physician By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
A collaborative approach may be the way to entice physicians to locate in rural Shuswap communities. This approach was on display in Penticton over the weekend at the Rural Emergency Continuum of Care conference, where a contingent from the Shuswap, represented by the Shuswap Healthy Communities Coalition, was attempting to sell the region and its rural communities – Sicamous, Chase, Sorrento and others – to doctors. “We’re all going to be recruiting and helping each other in trying to present the Shuswap and our communities in a positive light to attract physicians, just get them to know that we are recruiting and also maybe, by being there, talk to them and find out exactly what our next generation of physicians, rural physicians, are really looking for and what would convince them to bring their families

ment and the Interior Health Authority have both recognized the need for doctors in rural communities and are making an effort to fill it. However, she feels more can be done, such as incentives to help cover the cost of tuition for physicians fresh out of university, such has been done to attract doctors to northern communities. The issue of Jack’s retirement has come up on more than one occasion at Sicamous council. Coun. Suzanne Carpenter has become involved in the recruitment effort and, at a recent council meeting, stated the problem is global, and that “it’s a whole new world out there as far as what doctors want from a community.” “So basically, we’re going to have to go and sell ourselves to bring a doctor here,” said Carpenter. “We’re really lucky in our community that we have a local doctor who lives here, Dr. Beech, and whenever you see him, say ‘thank you,’ because there’s not too many places that have a doctor who stays around.”

The arrival of warm, sunny weather will likely hasten the melt of high-elevation snowpack. Data shows the current snow level remaining at Park Mt. that feeds Shuswap River and raises the level of Shuswap Lake, is higher than average for this time of year. “The snowpack is heavier than normal and continuing to grow,” said Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP) co-ordinator Cliff Doherty, pointing out recent heavy rains fell as snow at higher elevations. “It hasn’t stopped growing and a week of warm temperatures is coming at us right now.” SEP is monitoring snowpack levels and early indications suggest there is potential for high water flows in area streams and rivers if the snow melt occurs quickly. The Shuswap Lake level has reached 348.22 metres and the BC River Forecast Centre expects the lake will peak in two weeks at between 348.5m and 348.8m, approximately the same as the peak levels experienced in 2011 and 2013. Residents who live beside creeks, rivers or the lake should be taking action to protect their buildings and property, be-

Anyone going out on the lake should be on the lookout for debris in the water. While a lot of debris from a May 2 mudflow on Cooke Creek was deposited into Shuswap River, Doherty says most of it has collected on Mara Lake shores. “SEP did have the debris assessed by regular lake users and all three came back saying it’s not really different than what it has been other years,” he says.

Strike keeps students out of class Dispute: Rotating one-day job action closes schools. By Chelsea Grainger Eagle Valley News
Teachers of School District #83 took to the streets for their second walkout as the ongoing teachers’ dispute rolls into its second week. Rotating walkouts across the province began on May 26 and the government responded by issuing a partial lock out and 10 per cent wage rollback to all teachers participating in strike action. Teachers are rallying for smaller class sizes, more support for students, and a salary
increase of 15.9 per cent over the next four years. The government responded with an offer of a 7.3 per cent raise over six years, but the B.C. Teachers Federation declined. Sandy Little, councillor at Shuswap Middle School, says the ongoing dispute is a huge battle that needs to be figured out. “This is about kids and learning,” said Little. “The system called education is broken and we need to collectively figure out how to fix it.” Kylee Kok, who is a learning resource teach-
er at Shuswap Middle School, says she loves her job and the situation is frustrating to deal with because everyone should be working together to better education. “It feels like we are fighting the wrong people,” said Kok. Parents of affected students aren’t necessarily pleased with the current situation either, as students are missing days of school and losing valuable time with their teachers. Andrea Pyle, who has two students in the school system, says she
is full support of the teachers. “I’m disgusted with the way the government is twisting everything” said Pyle, “ I don’t think teachers have adequate funding and they have to be valued, respected and paid as such.” Zan Alcock, who has a daughter in kindergarten, also thinks the teachers have good reason for taking strike action. “I think it’s well merited,” said Alcock. “I think the government should be putting more money in the pot for kids.”
Candidates to vie for Green Party nomination The Green Party is preparing for the 2015 federal election. Chris George and David Smith have been unveiled as nominees to be the party’s candidate in Okanagan-Shuswap. Married and rais-
ing a young family in Notch Hill, George has operated independent businesses from Salmon Arm to Kamloops. He is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree from Thompson Rivers University.

OPINION
Wednesday, June 4, 2014 Eagle Valley News
Anti-spam laws simply a waste of government time We doubt there is anyone who hasn’t been annoyed by spam. We’re not talking about that delicious canned spiced ham, but the endless stream of emails advertising everything from Viagra to Rolux (sic) or the $30 million a nice man in Nigeria wants to send you. We’re being a bit silly here, but what is really ludicrous is the federal government’s new antispam legislation, which takes effect on July 1. It is hard to imagine a more trivial non-problem for the government to concern itself with, let alone how the rules, which require businesses get written or oral consent before they send emails or other digital messages to consumers will put an end to spam. The new regulations address a problem that, by and large, has already been dealt with through technological means; spam filters at the level of both your home computer and your Internet service provider are sophisticated, effective and constantly being updated. This legislation also doesn’t do much to stop the particular flavour of spam email that is a problem: fraudulent or phishing emails trying to scam you into revealing your personal information. They’re unlikely to ask your permission either. On the end user side of the question, there will be some that want to file grievances regardless of how effective their spam filter has been, and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is already saying they won’t be able to handle the expected flood of complaints. So what have the feds accomplished with their new anti-spam legislation? An increase in bureaucracy, to be sure, but not much else. We would prefer they concentrate on legislation that actually means something. – Black Press

The fate of farmland a test for parties By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session. Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones. Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said.
The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission. The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland. That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973. Second, the regional panels are not new. The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their meth-

od of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process. The debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civility. Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75 per cent of exclusion applications in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the government did not adequately answer. And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, KelownaLake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded performance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm. Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside

his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land. As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow. Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true. If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth.

ARTS SCENE
Longtime EVN arts columnist pens her final tribute
ON THE ARTS CARLA KRENS
On April 5, 2006 I wrote my first “On The Arts” for the Eagle Valley News. Now 10 years later I am writing my last column about the arts in Sicamous and surroundings. I have stepped down as president of the Ea-
gle Valley Arts Council, and I won’t have my finger on the pulse of the arts in Sicamous anymore. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting your comments over the years. I can honestly say they were positive and very encouraging. It has been a long run for me with the arts council. The Red Barn Arts Centre was my home away from home for over a decade. I was lucky to have this wonderful facility to put on plays, Remembrance Day tributes, invited guest artists etc. When I
started counting I realized we had done 24 productions in 10 years and I hereby thank all those people who gave their time to appear in those plays and productions. You made it all possible. And what fun we had, and lots of stories to tell. A thank you to all the directors for their time and effort over the years. I also want to thank you, the audience who came out to support the productions. Of course the structure of the barn needed lots of love and attention too. My husband Jerry Silva was the
main man. Together with the help of Gordon Mackie, Alf Bryan and Doug Aspeslet they did repairs, maintenance and improvements. But we are all getting a day or two older and it is time for some younger members of our community to take over. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage people in the community to appreciate all their volunteers. It can be a thankless job sometimes and the only comments received may be negative ones. It is a shame because it makes a volunteer burn out eventually. Some
praise now and then or constructive criticisms are the only “pay” a volunteer gets. Talking about encouragement, here’s another one. Please continue to support the Eagle Valley News. It is a great paper and the community would not be the same without it. These are hard times in the newspaper industry everywhere. Please show your appreciation by purchasing the paper, ads etc. I am going to take time off to see more of the grandchildren, travel even more, see plays and concerts in other
to fabulous community meals, and cap off the day with great live music at a Routes & Blues Festival satellite concert. This year’s Routes & Blues schedule includes: Sherman “The Tank” Doucette, who will be playing at Mara Hall on Aug. 1. This will be followed on Aug. 2 by Doug Andrew & the Circus in Flames at the Red Barn in Sicamous. Other concerts include: Sherman “The Tank” Doucette on Aug

Moose Mulligan’s earns award for hospitality excellence Moose Mulligan’s has received a TripAdvisor certificate of excellence award. The accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. When selecting certificate of excellence
winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings. Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a popularity ranking on the site. “Winning the Tri-
pAdvisor certificate of excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at Moose Mulligan’s and we’d like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor,” said Peter Schrama, partner at Moose Mulligan’s. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognized by one’s customers.”

Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue Society (SAR) is a volunteer organization that has been serving the community for more than 25 years. They are asking for the Shuswap’s help in paying for a new rapid initial response vehicle and trailer purchased through provincial gaming grants and community donations. “This was accomplished through the dedication and perseverance of several of our members,” says Luke Gubbels, SAR member. “However, grants do not cover all of our costs, so we are selling space on the vehicle and trailer to help offset some of those expenses.” Search and rescue volunteers go out into any kind of weather, day or night, 365 days of the year – without cost to those they rescue or payment to themselves. “The past year has been a busy one for us in terms of call-outs and training,” says Gubbels. “With an increase in outdoor activities and pursuits there is an increase in situations where our services are required.” As summer approaches, SAR offers a few reminders: • You do not have to pay to be rescued – Search and Rescue is a volunteer-run, non-profit society. • You do not have to wait 24 hours to call Search and Rescue for help. Time is of the essence. If you find yourself in a situation where SAR’s help is required or if a family member or friend is unreasonably overdue from an outdoor adventure, call 911. To sponsor a business name or logo on SAR’s new initial response truck, or send a private donation, visit www.svsar.org, call 250-833-1473 or donate to P.O. Box 241, Salmon Arm V1E 4N3.
