Canadian Medicare under threat

A legal battle before the courts in B.C., is being called “the most significant challenge in Canadian history.” Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

In September of this year, the B.C. Supreme Court will hear the case brought forward by Dr. Brian Day, owner of a Vancouver for-profit clinic. The B.C. Health Coalition and Canadian Doctors for Medicare will be facing Dr. Day in court. They will be fighting to save Canada’s Medicare system. If Dr. Day wins his case in court, the Canadian Medicare system will be replaced by what is called a “US-style system.” It is believed that the public health care system Canadians rely upon will be dismantled, leaving doctors to be able to set any price they want; costly private insurance policies will become the norm like in the United States where the cost of insurance for a family of four is $16,000 per year and public wait times increasing due to doctors and nurses leaving the public system to practice in the for-profit system. The B.C. Health Coalition and Canadian Doctors for Medicare are asking that all Canadians become involved in helping to save the Canadian Medicare System. They ask that you become aware - sign up at www.savemedicare.ca - keep up to date with the court case and help spread the word in your community.

Province cuts school support deal ahead of teachers strike vote Tentative agreement gives CUPE staff 5.5 per cent over five years Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province has struck a tentative deal with 34,000 school support staff on the eve of B.C. teachers’ vote on staging a full-scale strike. The five-year agreement reached Saturday provides wage increases totaling 5.5 per cent, with potential for more tied to the performance of the B.C. economy – in line with the standard settlements reached with other public sector unions.

sented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The union and provincial negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employers Association hammered the deal out in just five days following the start of talks last Tuesday. “This success provides ample evidence that the bargaining system works — when the parties come to the table with reasonable expectations and a flexible, solution-oriented approach,” said BCPSEA public administrator Michael Marchbank said. “We built some momentum very quickly,” CUPE B.C. spokesman Rob Hewitt said.

Over 40 riders from Princeton, Kelowna and Penticton gathered at China Ridge to ride the annual Chugger on Sunday, June 8th. They rode the network of trails at China Ridge, then the Rail Trail down to Whitesands Beach and up to the Coalmont Hotel for food and refreshments. After enjoying a delicious lunch and a few cold drinks...it was back to Princeton on the scenic KVR trail. This ride is done in the memory of the late Duncan MacKenzie, a Whistler trail builder. Many riders had a personal connection to Duncan who came to Princeton to lead and teach local volunteers in construction of the Rail Trail and the bike park.

First West Credit Union employees raise close to $45,000 for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation Grand total raised by First West since 2007 surpasses a quarter million dollars

Langley, B.C.— As part of the annual BC Children’s Hospital Foundation (BCCHF) Miracle Weekend on May 31 and June 1, First West Credit Union employees, including employees from its Envision Financial and Valley First local brands, were proud to present nearly $45,000 to the BCCHF. Since 2007, the credit union has raised almost $275,000 in support of the BCCHF. For many employees who have experienced the amazing services offered by the hospital, Miracle Weekend provides a chance to give back and help others. “Supporting the Foundation is a really big priority for First West because the work of the hospital has made a life-changing difference for British Columbians—and for a number of us at the credit union,” says Susan Byrom, First West’s manager of community investment. “We’re proud of the way First West employees give back to the hospital each and every year.” In addition to its fundraising efforts supporting BCCHF and Miracle Weekend, eight First West employees also volunteered as Miracle Makers to man phone lines during the Miracle Weekend, taking pledges and calling donors to thank them for supporting BCCHF. The event was especially poignant for Shannon White, one of First West’s Miracle Maker volunteers. White, a team member at Valley First’s Princeton branch, currently has a newborn grandson, Grayson, receiving care at BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre. Grayson was born 13 weeks premature. “The staff at BCCH and BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre—nurses, doctors, clerks, everyone—is absolutely amazing,” she says. “They’re not only knowledgeable, but incredibly kind and willing to listen. They made us feel at ease, right at home like we were extended family. I’m so grateful to them and being part of Miracle Weekend was something I felt I needed to do to show my appreciation.”

Students’ voice is important too Guest Editorial Black Press

Teachers have been conducting rotating strikes around the province, walking off the job a day at a time to protest the lack of progress in their ongoing contract dispute with the province. Last week, student organizers, as they have in previous disputes, felt it was time they tried to make their voices heard. But though over 10,000 students across the province said they would participate in their own strike Wednesday in support of their teachers, when 9 a.m. rolled around, there was disappointingly low turnout at many schools, including Penticton’s. We say disappointing, not because we think students should be missing any more educational time than they already have through the teacher’s walkouts, but because the low turnout was due in part to a campaign by school administrators to discourage the student strike, in some cases actually blocking students from leaving the school. In some schools, tests were deliberately scheduled for Wednesday. Having already missed instruction time due to the teachers’ walkouts and with the teachers’ strike looming on the horizon, some students were concerned that there would not be an opportunity to make up the tests. Letters were sent home to parents pointing out that if students walked out and left school property the district could not guarantee their safety. Parents should not expect walkout activities to be supervised by school or district staff. The letters did state that “the ministry respects the desire of students to express their views regarding the current labour situation.” “We fully respect the voice of students and their legitimate right to share their concerns, we do not want to unduly alarm parents or students” Voting rates among young people are at an all time low. What better way to convince a group of high school students that their voice won’t matter when they too get to voting age than to squelch their attempt to exercise the rights of free speech and lawful civil protest. It’s unlikely the student protest would have any effect whatsoever on the teacher’s contract negotiations. But that isn’t the point; the important part is the student initiative to attempt to make their voices heard. School administrators shouldn’t have encouraged the student protest, but they could have chosen to step back and not interfered. At the most, the students on walkout would have missed a class or two, but they would have learned a different kind of lesson. And, after all, the students’ voice is important: their education, and that of following generations, is what is really at stake here.

“The little store with character”

This little fawn was orphaned after dogs spooked her mother causing her to fall in and get washed away by the river. She was found along the Tulameen River bank on Thursday, June 5 and was cared for by the Lindley and Gereau families. On Sunday, June 8, she went to live at the Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley, B.C. This fawn brings the total of fawns in care to eight at the society.

Asked if the timing of talks amid the intensifying teachers dispute helped CUPE negotiators, Hewitt said only the teachers were not discussed at the table. Also included is an Employee Support Grant covering any wages CUPE members lose by refusing to cross legal picket lines. The union’s support for the B.C. Teachers Federation and teachers’ pursuit of long-term

adequate funding for public education “hasn’t 195 Bridge Street 250-295-0820 changed one iota,” CUPE B.C. president Mark Hancock said. “Just as the teachers have been at our side as our members have fought for public education, we continue to stand with them.” The deal running through to the summer of 2019 must still be ratified by union members.

MIRACLE WEEKEND - from page 3 First West has a long history of involvement with BCCHF. Since 2007, employees have raised nearly $275,000 to support research, equipment and education programs and services that ensure B.C.’s kids and families receive the best health care available. Employee fundraising in 2014 included participation in slo-pitch tournaments, BCCHF’s Jeans Day™ and First West’s corporate challenge, for which White’s grandson was the rallying point. “Our province’s credit unions are having an impact on the lives of children and families every day,” says Raymond Li, chair of BC Children’s Hospital Foundation’s 2014 Miracle Weekend. “Their support of Miracle Weekend is helping to give patients at BC Children’s Hospital the best care possible today and ensuring that caregivers and researchers can continue to build on that high level of care in the future. We are very grateful for their support.” Shannon White has a few corporate donations coming in and her webpage is open for donations until the end of June. To date, Shannon’s personal fundraising efforts have gathered $5,863.31 On behalf of herself, Miranda, Jeff, Caden and baby Grayson, Shannon expresses their heart-felt gratitude, “Thank you Princeton, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for opening your hearts to make it possible to help children and families in need.” Shannon says that Grayson has graduated from incubator to crib and that Miranda is able now, to pick him up and hold him as often as she can. Grayson is still having difficulties but grandma’s Little Warrior Peanut is active and smiling. BC Children’s Hospital is recognized as one of the premiere children’s hospitals in North America. Funds raised during Miracle Weekend are used to purchase specialized life-saving equipment, fund research in the prevention, treatment and cure of childhood illnesses like diabetes, cancer and infectious diseases and provide educational programs throughout the province.

The Spotlight Office will be closed on July 1, 2014 for Canada Day.

Deadline for the July 2nd paper is 10 am on Thursday, June 26th. No ads or ad copy will be accepted after this deadline.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Princeton Secondary School, our shop teacher and students would like to thank the following people for their generous donations of vehicles to our Automotive program: Norma and Marvin Tremblay Keith and Betty Sanderson Josh Sanderson Your contributions to our students’ learning opportunities are greatly appreciated.

The local group, Support Our Health Care (SOHC) have been doing what they can to promote the importance of the upcoming court case. Through local media, SOHC have had information regarding the case published, they organized a rally in Veterans Square in March of this year and most recently, hosted a public forum at the Riverside Centre. On Thursday June 5, approximately 60 residents attended the forum moderated by Area H director, Brad Hope. With a welcome to all in attendance, director Hope extended his thanks. “I appreciate all of you coming out to show your support for this very important issue.” He then went on to introduce the three forum panelists including; Ed Staples, president of SOHC, Rick Turner, co-chair of the B.C. Health Care Coalition and Dr. Duncan Etches of Canadian Doctors for Medicare. Ed Staples gave a presentation on the history of Canadian Health Care, including discussion on Woodrow Lloyd, Tommy Douglas, John Diefenbaker, Justice Emmett Hall and Lester B. Pearson, all responsible for the founding principals of the Canadian Health Act. Rick Turner and Dr. Duncan Etches both presented their explanation of how the for-profit system would end up

destroying the Canadian Medicare system. It was explained that in 1996 the B.C. private clinics idea was brought in to speed up WCB cases, however it took on a life of its own. In British Columbia alone there are now 70 private clinics. When asked what percent of B.C. doctors and nurses supported public health care vs private, Dr. Etches said, “I would guess that about half were strong supporters of the public health care system and about half were interested in the financial opportunities of private.” Doctors being overworked and money being wasted in the medical systems was a topic of discussion. For example, it was stated that a phone call could come from the doctor instead of a patient having to drive all the way to Penticton for results. Dr. Etches responded by explaining that, “The payment system needs to be looked at.” He went on to make further suggestions that could help the public health care system including; a triage system, more nurse practitioners, group health visits (for instance - diabetic care groups) and especially a “no brainer” method as he put it, home care. People who can be cared for at home should be being cared for at home. “But the money needs to be invested to begin with,” he said.

Dr. Duncan Etches of Canadian Doctors for Medicare answers questions during the public forum held at Riverside Centre on June 5.

A referendum was asked about from the floor, Rick Turner answered with, “Your opinion matters, we want you to tell us what you want.” Helping to raise awareness about the case, speaking out publicly, hosting events are all ways that Canadians can help. Visit www.savemedicare.ca to learn more. Thoughts on the forum were summed up eloquently by Ed Staples, “You are entitled to health care regardless of who you are, where you live or how much money you make.”

Marvelous Mutts Rescue makes friends in Princeton Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

A discussion between friends in Princeton and Merritt has resulted in a close contact for rescuing and rehoming dogs.. Tammy and Larissa Simon, friends of Margie Honeywell, founder and president of Marvelous Mutts Rescue Society out of Merritt wanted to extend the reach of the rescue to Princeton. Margie said to Tammy, “Well hook me up! Let’s get it done.” “We want people to help with foster care and we want to help find adoption families,” said Larissa. Tammy and Larissa enlisted the help of Audrey Blanchette, owner of Everything Pets, who in turn extended an invitation to Marvelous Mutts Rescue to visit. “Audrey is so polite and accommodating,” said Margie Honeywell. On Saturday, June 7, Marvelous Mutts Rescue volunteers arrived in

Princeton and set up in front of Everything Pets at the Plaza Mall. Residents had the opportunity to visit with dogs in care: Wendy, Duchess, Julio, Bella and Buddy in the Marvelous Mutts Kissing Booth, Eddie, Sophie, Cloe and another Buddy. The dogs enjoyed being the stars of the show and especially enjoyed the dog treats courtesy of Paulette’s Cakerie. The dogs in care of the rescue are either surrenders or rescues and are placed with foster families until their forever homes can be found. Buddy, the Jack Russel Terrier found his forever home with local Jack Angstadt. Jack needed a trucking buddy and Buddy, after a trial trip, suits the lifestyle perfectly. Check out the rescue by visiting them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/marvelousmutts/ or call 250-378-4599 if you can help by being a foster home or by becoming a forever home.

Class of ‘73 wins Rotary golf tournament Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Lisa Carleton/Spotlight Rotary Golf Tournament winners: Class of ‘73 - Mike Glass, Marcel VandenBosch, Barry Horn and Rob Marshall

The Princeton Rotary Club held their annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser at the Princeton Golf Club on Saturday, June 7. The annual fundraiser assists Princeton Rotary in their support of the numerous community causes they contribute to. Robert White took home the big screen television as his prize for winning the putting contest. The tournament winners were the Class of ‘73 team, Princeton Co-Gen team got 2nd Low Net and the Most Honest Golfers award went to team LedcorFortis. “Princeton Rotary organizes this tournament each year,” said tournament chair Randy McLean, “but it is you, the folks who attend and our sponsors who contribute that make it a success. Without them and you, this wouldn’t be possible so, thank you, very much.” Appreciation is also extended to Mike Talarico for organizing and manning the putting contest, to the volunteers who helped on the course, to Judy Short and Lynn Johnson for organizing the prize table and special thanks to Randy McLean for doing all the leg work for this year’s tournament. The Posse are proud to welcome forwards Thomas Cankovic and Kyle Bergh. Cankovic who led the Burnaby Winter Club Prep team in goals, was second in total points and winner of the Under 18 Team Top Scholastic Player Award. Kyle Bergh is a very skilled forward who finished third in team scoring last season and won the Under 18 Team Unsung Hero Award.

Posse welcome Burnaby Winter Club duo PRINCETON, British Columbia—The Posse are pleased to announce the commitment of two forwards from Burnaby Winter Club’s top team. The Princeton Posse added ample skill today with these top major midget players that will be donning the Posse logo for the 2014-2015 season. The Posse are proud to welcome forwards Thomas Cankovic and Kyle Bergh. Whistler, BC native Thomas Cankovic (1997) led the BWC Prep team in goals and was second in total points. Thomas was an affiliate player last season for the Port Moody Panthers (PJHL) and the year before with the Comox Valley Glacier Kings (VIJHL) where then Comox coaches Bill Rotheisler and Mark McNaughton first eyed his talent playing for Whistler. Also from BWC Prep is Kyle Bergh (1997). Kyle is a very skilled forward who finished third in team scoring last season. A very shifty and mobile forward, who was an integral part of the BWC’s offense this past season. Bergh was affiliated with the Grandview Steelers of the PJHL last season. General Manager and Head Coach Bill Rotheisler commented, “We are extremely excited to bring these two players

on board. We saw them multiple times at spring camps and saw their team play and compete level at the Challenge Cup in Burnaby. In addition to being skilled players with alot of potential, they are quality citizens and will be proud new pieces of the Princeton community”; Rotheisler continued, “We look very strongly at players that play out of the Canadian Sports School Hockey League as they are almost always well coached and already accustomed to an intense schedule where they have already differentiated being a hockey player with just playing hockey”. Both players were coached by Aaron Wilbur at BWC, former coach with the Penticton Vees (Assistant) and Keystone Cup winning Richmond Sockeyes (Head), who runs “The Coaches Site”. Both players attended the Princeton Posse spring camp that was held this past March. The Princeton Posse send their thanks out to the Burnaby Winter Club for the job they did in developing and preparing these players for the junior level.

Posse hire Cliff Glover as new communications manager PRINCETON, British Columbia—After an extensive search, the Princeton Posse organization are proud to welcome Cliff Glover as the new Communications Manager. Cliff comes to the Posse with extensive experience in enhancing sponsorship revenue and has a strong resume of establishing many successful fundraisers, including the local Diamond Dinner. A member of the Princeton community for the past 11 years, Cliff has made his impact on the community, currently sitting on the executive board for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 56. Cliff will be working out of the Posse offices located at 167 Old Hedley Road; Princeton, BC. When he is not in the office, he will be working around town maintaining sponsor relationships and satisfaction, continually improving the value that corporate Princeton receives from their team. Corporate sponsorship currently makes up a large portion of the team’s revenue, which goes directly into the operating costs of the team, and is a vital component of the small market team.

An invitation from Kelley Cook resulted in members of Princeton’s Sierra Fire Suppression Crew coming out to help students from John Allison and Vermilion Forks Elementary Schools clean up the wetland known as Cormack Marsh. Crew members built bird and bat houses and installed them and have also built a walking path from the Trans Canada Trail right up to

the marsh. Signs made from posters created by local students were placed around the marsh and along the KVR to educate and provide directions. Members of the Sierra crew were enlisted to place the signs. Most recently, Fletcher Evans, Will Campbell and Ryan Hamilton came out to the marsh to reinstall a post and signs that had been ripped out by vandals two weeks ago. The perseverance and dedication of the Sierra Crew is appreciated.

1. In a bowl, gently whisk eggs, salt and pepper. Do not beat. 2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and add cumin seeds. Stir in onion and green chile and saute until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. 3. Add tomato and saute, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Stir in cayenne,

CAPRICORN: You are never one to walk away from a challenge, Capricorn. This week you will be presented with a big obstacle, and you will have to step up to tackle the hard stuff. AQUARIUS: Keep your eyes open and you just may stumble on something new and fascinating this week, Aquarius. This is a good time to explore new ideas and apply them to your daily life. PISCES: Someone gets bent out of shape over something that seems laughable to you, Pisces. You may need to adjust your view. ARIES: Focus your energies in a positive way, Aries. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to, and now is the time to put your attitude to work. TAURUS: Taurus, you are ready for something or someone new. Right now is a good time to reach out and connect with a new passion. Things will get more interesting rather quickly. GEMINI: You need to focus and get back to work this week, Gemini. Things have slipped out of your fingers, and it could take a little while before you get back on a schedule. CANCER: Shop around for the best deals before making a big purchase, Cancer. A little extra work can lead to substantial savings. There are deals to be had, so be patient. LEO: Expect to reach a milestone in your life, Leo. This may have something to do with your family or career. Either way, the praise you will receive is warranted. VIRGO: Sometimes it can be easy for you to get fixated on a certain way of doing things, Virgo. There are really many different paths to the same outcome when you are open to ideas. LIBRA: Libra, do not panic when a glitch arises in your plans. Just approach the situation from a different angle, and you will find a solution in no time. SCORPIO: Try not to push yourself too hard this week, Scorpio. This is a good time to maintain a low profile. Drawing too much attention to yourself might ruffle the wrong feathers this week. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, something will bring a smile to your face early in the week, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much nothing that can put you in a bad mood. This is an ideal time to get things accomplished. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

turmeric and cilantro. Cook for 1 minute longer. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly add egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until eggs are soft and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook. 4. Serve garnished with tomato wedges and cilantro sprigs. Tip: The important thing in Indian cooking is to use a chile pepper with spirit. Fresh cayenne peppers, or any similar

ones, would work very well. If using Thai peppers, now readily available in North America, use only half the amount called for in the recipe. In a pinch, jalapenos also can be used. PC146264

MCKAY

Kathy McKay (nee Kathy Caruso) died peacefully on May 29, 2014 at the age of 93. Born in Vancouver to Sicilian immigrants, Kathy moved with her family to Princeton when she was very young and spent her entire life in Princeton, raising her family and contributing to the community. Predeceased by her husband, Ivan McKay and her daughter, Geri, she is survived by seven children; Many-Ann McDougall, Bonnie Cook, Don, Bob, Julie, Michael and Richard McKay; as well as by 10 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. She is predeceased by her four brothers; Angelo, Frank, Joe and Phil Caruso. Kathy completed grade 12 at Princeton High, then married Ivan McKay in 1940. They lived on Allison Flats and started their family, then moved downtown in 1956 to the house that was to remain her home for more than 50 years. Kathy was a wonderful mother, homemaker and gardener - raising eight children, keeping her busy household clean, feeding a full house with varying appetites, and creating a garden bursting with her favorite Àowers. She lived independently at home until she was 89. She was a member of the Legion Auxiliary for many years, contributing her cooking skills and good humor to catering events and building lasting friendships. Kathy had a special love for music and dance and up until her last days enjoyed singing old-time favorites. Her life was full of courage, good humor, joy, tragedy and perseverance. She was generous in looking after many people in her town, becoming like a mother to all; she was a devoted friend with regular coffee dates; and she was a welcoming hostess to relatives, friends and travellers until the end. After so many years of looking after others, she spent her ¿nal years being cared for by the kind staff at Ridgewood Lodge, as well as by her daughter, friend and caregiver, Bonnie Cook. ³2ne day at a time,´ was her ¿nal message... “That’s all you can do, is one day at a time.” She will be missed by her many Princeton friends and by her family. Kathy McKay will be cremated in Princeton and at her request, her life will be celebrated privately. In lieu of Àowers, please send donations in her name to Ridgewood Lodge.
