Three dead in back country accident Three young Lytton adults are dead and a 16 year old was seriously injured after the group’s pickup truck went off the road and down a steep embankment in the Botanie Valley last Thursday. In the afternoon of June 11, Lytton RCMP received a report of three missing people who were due to return from the Pasulko Lake area where they had been foraging for food. An initial search of the area came up empty. The search resumed the following day with assistance from the Pemberton Search and Rescue, an RCMP Helicopter from Kamloops, and community members including family members. A vehicle associated to the missing group was quickly located down an embankment with two women and one man, all in their 20s, located deceased at the scene. The teenager was found in the truck and had to be extricated. The investigation into the crash is in the preliminary stages and the causal factors are not yet known. The identities of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin. All were from the Lytton area.

VICTORIA - “The bargaining teams worked hard through the weekend and progress was made,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender on Tuesday afternoon. “On Sunday, the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) tabled a comprehensive proposal to help end the stalemate, get kids back in school and create long-term stability for parents, students and teachers. “I believe that both parties want this dispute resolved. If the BCTF wants to get a deal done they need to get back to bargaining and put all their cards on the table. While they’ve moved on their wage demands, they have not provided clear answers on what other cost items are still on the table. “As BCPSEA demonstrated last week and through the weekend, they are ready to bargain 24/7. We want to see an agreement by June 30 so everyone can head into the summer with this dispute behind us and the knowledge the system is on a path to long-term stability.”

Experiencing life

on the small screen I could write this week about the ongoing teachers’ strike, or the approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline announced today, but issues like that always require a little time and distance to put together a logical response. There’s been something on my mind for a long time now, and events of the past two weeks have brought it to the foreground again. That’s the multitude of recording devices at events these days. You have to see it to believe it! Young people view the world on an LCD screen, even when it’s happening less than 50 feet away from them. It’s nothing new. I’ve noticed it at Graffiti Days for the past two or three years the Smoke Show starts up and one out of four spectators (might be one out of three this year) holds up their hand-held to take videos - either to keep as a memento, but probably to send to friends or post to social media sites. It’s reached the rodeo. Last weekend, people were staring at their screens when there was nothing happening, and staring at their screens while recording the action when there was something happening. It used to be cameras, and since cameras were pricey, very few people had them. And while personal phones are still pricey, people have more spending cash, and they’ve become a status symbol. I recall years ago, driving along Hwy 27 with my visiting parents. Hwy 27 stretches between Charlie Lake, just north of Fort St. John, and Chetwynd. In the middle, somewhere, there’s Hudson’s Hope and a whole lot of nothing but wilderness. Or that’s how it was 20 years ago. We stopped the car to let a beaver walk across the highway. It was dragging a branch about four times its size to the wetlands on the other side, presumably where his home was. We had a good laugh while it struggled across the road bearing its burden. As my husband started the car, my mother exclaimed that she should have been taking pictures! I thought of it, but sometimes, it’s just nice to relax and watch without a digital interface.

THE PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS is well named - don’t get on the wrong side of it.

Patients dying while politicians dither by Bacchus Barua Senior health economist The Fraser Institute VANCOUVER, BC/ Troy Media/ Over the past two decades, the general Canadian attitude toward wait times for medical treatment seems to have evolved into a resigned acceptance of this ostensibly “mild nuisance” in an otherwise excellent system. It’s time for a reality check. Since 1993, the average wait for treatment has almost doubled (to 18.2 weeks in 2013), per capita public healthcare expenditures have increased by about 40 per cent (after adjusting for inflation), and it is becoming increasingly apparent that patients are suffering the consequences. And yet, there is no real indication that politicians intend to introduce meaningful reforms to solve this problem. It seems we have become comfortably numb to this fundamental flaw that is now a defining feature of Canadian healthcare. Unfortunately, wait times are not benign inconveniences - especially not when they are as long and ubiquitous as those in Canada. Many patients face physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, and lost economic productivity (about $1,200 per patient) while waiting for treatment in this country. For example, Statistics Canada found that about one fifth of patients who visited a specialist, and about 11 per cent of those waiting for non-emergency surgery, were adversely affected by their wait. Many reported experiencing worry, stress, anxiety, pain, and difficulties with daily activities. Protracted wait times may also result in potentially treatable illnesses

and injuries becoming chronic, permanent, debilitating conditions. In such circumstances, requiring patients to accept inordinately long waiting times without the opportunity to seek alternative treatment denies them their basic human right to lead healthy lives (as recognized by the Supreme Court in 2005). It is precisely for this reason that Dr. Brian Day, former head of the Canadian Medical Association, is fighting a court case in British Columbia to allow private treatment for those patients who have fallen through the cracks of the public system. One of his co-plaintiffs has already died while waiting for the trial, while another is permanently disabled because of neglect on the public wait list. Sadly, their stories are not isolated cases. In a recent study, Nadeem Esmail, Taylor Jackson and I investigated whether the changes (mostly increases) in wait times between 1993 and 2009 had any impact on mortality rates. After controlling for relevant factors (physicians, health expenditures, age, Gross Domestic Product, inequality, and gender), we found that there was, indeed, a statistically significant relationship between wait times and the incidents of female deaths. Specifically, after crunching the numbers we estimated between 25,456 and 63,090 Canadian women may have died as a result of increased wait times during this period. Large as this number is, it doesn’t even begin to quantify the possibility of increased disability and poorer quality of life as a result of protracted wait times. Clearly, wait times may have serious consequences for some patients. It is inhumane and immoral to force these patients to choose between long

waits in the public system (risking their health and well-being) and leaving their homeland (and families) to seek treatment elsewhere. Fortunately, the noble goal of universal healthcare can be achieved without paying for it with patients’ lives. In fact, the experience of other countries suggests that wait times and singlepayer insurance are neither necessary, nor common features of successful universal healthcare systems around the world. Data from the Commonwealth Fund, and studies by Fraser Institute have repeatedly shown that countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan and Australia ensure universal healthcare for their residents without the long wait times found in Canada. How do they do it? By encouraging competition between regulated private insurers, requiring patient cost-sharing (through co-payments and deductibles with annual limits), and replacing global budgets with activity-based funding for hospitals (so that money follows the patient). Defenders of Canada’s status quo will likely balk at these suggestions and cling to their dream of government-delivered universal healthcare - ignoring the fact that it simply doesn’t work for many patients. But those who are pragmatic, and truly committed to fixing our broken system, should seriously consider implementing reforms that seem to have worked in other countries that are equally committed to universal access to healthcare. -Bacchus Barua is senior health economist at the Fraser Institute and co-author of The Effect of Wait Times on Mortality in Canada.

Exam students will have buses The British Columbia Teachers’ Federation, the union representing teachers, has informed the school district that starting on Tuesday, June 17 teachers will be commencing a full withdrawal of services, also known as a Phase 3 strike. Provincial exams scheduled for students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 will proceed as normal during this time. Each school will be open and will have staff to invigilate the exam and provide the support needed for each student. The BCTF has agreed that they will allow students to enter schools to write these exams without disruption. The Labour Relations Board has ruled that student transportation to provincial exams is an essential service during this strike. As such, buses will be running according to the regularly scheduled bus routes on the days that there are secondary provincial exams scheduled in Gold Trail. Students who leave school property before or after an exam will not be supervised.

Refinery decision a conflict for Premier Jeff Nagel Black Press Premier Christy Clark is stepping aside from any decisions related to new oil refineries after the emergence of a new refinery proposal involving her ex-husband. Mark Marissen has been hired as vice-president of Pacific Future Energy, which has announced plans to build an oil refinery in Prince Rupert. “I learned that this proposal was going to become something real last week,” Clark said, adding she then contacted the provincial conflict-of-interest commissioner for guidance. Pacific Future Energy is the latest company pursuing the idea of refining bitumen from the Alberta oil sands before it’s loaded onto tankers so there’s less risk to the marine environment waters in the event of a spill. Victoria businessman David Black, owner of Black Press newspapers, has spearheaded a similar refinery proposal, to be located between Kitimat and Terrace. Black’s Kitimat Clean plan could use bitumen coming from the Northern Gateway pipeline – if it’s built – or else it could aim to build a separate pipeline or use trains carrying oil by rail. Black continues to seek a $10-billion loan guarantee from the federal government to satisfy potential international investors. Pacific Future Energy said it plans a scaleable $10-billion refinery ranging from 200,000 barrels per day up to one million if required. The company said it’s beginning pre-feasibility studies. She will refer all government deliberations on any refinery proposal to Finance Minister Mike de Jong. The conflict-of-interest rules for MLAs do not specifically cover spouses, but say MLAs should recuse themselves if a situation is likely to lead to a perception they may personally

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, though you are known for being a tad stubborn, this week you are open to any and all suggestions. You may surprise a few people by being so open-minded. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have natural leadership abilities, most of the time you do not want to pull rank. This week you may need to step things up a bit. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, now is a good time to travel, even if it means just a quick jaunt. But if a big vacation is on the horizon, know that you will likely have a smooth trip ahead. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Your powers are magnetic this week, Leo. Others find you simply irresistible, which can bode well if you are looking for a romantic partner or want to step things up. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a busy week at work will require lots of cooperation among you and your coworkers. If ever there was a time to summon your leadership abilities, now is the time.

This may start with a mini-makeover or more significant changes to your life and career.

Barkerville’s Theatre Royal opens June 21 Barkerville Historic Town’s renowned Theatre Royal opens its 2014 season with a gala event and dance party on June 21. The event begins with the annual general meeting of the Barkerville Heritage Trust at 11 a.m. and ends with a boot-stomping shindig from 9 p.m. onwards at the House Hotel Saloon. Between 4 and 7 p.m., the cast and crew of Newman & Wright Theatre Company will manage to squeeze in the premieres of two brandnew musical shows, as well as raise some muchappreciated funds in a hilarious charity auction in support of their authentic theatrical endeavours. “Rehearsals are over, and once again they’ve been well worth the effort,” says Theatre Royal producer Richard Wright. “We are very excited to present The Return of Lafont & Ward’s Musical Revue, and our newest musical drama, Campfires & Trails: the Captain Jack Crawford Story.” Every summer season since Barkerville was first declared a provincial heritage site more than 50 years ago, a passionate troupe of actors, singers, dancers and musicians assemble in the historic town to re‐create the joy and creativity of the original Theatre Royal, which was built in 1868 to provide much-needed respite to generations of Cariboo miners, businesspeople, and families throughout the late-19th and early-20th centuries. “Barkerville has always been fortunate to attract creative and talented people from all over the world who come together each season to help us celebrate the opening of the Theatre Royal,” says James Douglas, Barkerville’s manager of Visitor Experiences. “The Barkerville Heritage Trust is proud to support this tradition, and we are thankful to those members of our local and provincial governments, businesses, and the community at large who support us year after year.” For more information about Barkerville’s Theatre Royal Gala, or any of this season’s special events, please visit www.barkerville.ca/ events.htm.
