NVIT wins bid for health-care assistant program Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
Having left home at the age of 13, Keely Weymouth didn’t think she’d be able to take her education to the next level, but thanks to some timely funding, she’ll get the opportunity to do just that. The Ministry of Advanced Education has dolled out a onetime cash injection of $141,000 to the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) so it can offer its health-care assistant program this year to 15 students. NVIT president Ken Tourand said this program would not have been offered without this government funding. “We had 12 or 13 [students] that were on wait list hoping that we were going to be able to deliver [the program],” Tourand said. “Now that the funding has come through, that program is a go, so we’ve informed those students.” Weymouth, 19, said she wasn’t aware there was a chance the program might not have gotten off the ground, but is glad the funding came through. “I know a lot of people who are wanting to take it,” she said. So far, 13 students have signed up to take the 35-week program. Weymouth knew she wanted to join the health-care assistant program and find work as a care aid — her goal to work toward becoming a registered nurse. Minister of Advaced Education Andrew Wilkinson said the ministry wants to invest in people improving their skills “so they have the opportunities to build up their lives.”

“We want to encourage people to build on those dreams,” Wilkinson said. The health care assistant program trains students to work in care facilities for the elderly, like Gillis House, with a practicum at such local facilities. “They learn everything from blood pressure readings and how to lift elderly people out of their beds [to] wheel chair operation,” Tourand said. The funding will enable the program to train health-care students locally and place them in the workforce locally as well. “Those people will be employed starting next summer in long-term care facilities, and hospitals and the like,” Wilkinsion told report-

ers at NVIT during a funding announcement Thursday (Sept. 3). “It’s important for us to have people who are in demand locally to be trained locally and that’s exactly what we are doing here,” he said. Wemouth has lived in Merritt for nearly 10 years, and said she’d like to continue living here. She hopes to find a job at Gillis House. There is a demand for healthcare assistants both in the Nicola Valley and the province as a whole, Wilkinson said. “The demand for healthcare assistants to provide the services to people in care facilities, and hospitals and elsewhere is growing at four per cent per
year in the province, and in the Thompson-Okanagan region it’s growing at five per cent per year,” he said. The projected demand suggests the need to provide more health-care assistants in the province. “What we did was we ran a competition in the ministry for grants, which would provide training programs for healthcare assistants,” Wilkinson said, adding that the criteria was the level of demand in a community and whether or not the advanced education ministry wanted to satisfy the demand soon. NVIT was one of the successful applicants that competed for funding after answering a call for proposals from the ministry.

City council has severed ties with its financial services manager Ken Ostraat and will be making a multitude of other organizational moves. “He’s no longer employed by the city,” chief administrative officer (CAO) Shawn Boven told the Herald. Boven said the city is undertaking an organizational realignment. A job posting is being issued for the newly created position of director of corporate services at the City of Merritt. This director’s responsibilities include shouldering some of the duties of the CAO. The city is also issuing a job posting for Boven’s former job as public works manager. That position is being restructured as director of engineering and development. Managing the public works department will remain part of this position, but the planning and development manager will now report to this director, Boven said. He said currently the planning and development manager reports to the CAO. “There’s lots of direct reports to the CAO and it hasn’t functioned well in the past,” Boven said noting the change up is designed to create a broader organizational depth and a newer senior management team. The city is also issuing a job posting to find a replacement for Ostraat, but hasn’t made a decision as to whether or not it will fill the vacant economic development manager position.

With autumn approaching, Wildsafe BC has begun canvassing the Merritt area to see if residents are adhering to the new bylaw that prohibits residents from placing their garbage out too early for pickup. The new bylaw states that garbage bins cannot be placed curbside before 5 a.m. on collection day. The penalty for breaking this bylaw is $100 fine. City council unanimously approved the bylaw this spring. Any bins found to be non-compliant are receiving a yellow warning sticker from Wildsafe that states garbage left for pickup overnight is a bear attractant.

The Criminal Justice Branch has filed an application under the Criminal Code to have Allan Schoenborn designated as a high-risk accused. The application has been filed in British Columbia Supreme Court in New Westminster, and a first appearance has been scheduled for the afternoon of September 10. Schoenborn murdered his three children in their Merritt home back in 2008 and has lived at the Colony Farm Forensic Psychiatric Hospital since being found not criminally responsible for the crimes due to mental disorder. The mother and family of the victims have been notified of the decision to seek this designation and legal counsel for Schoenborn has received notice of the application, a press release from the criminal justice branch stated. Being labeled a high-risk accused would prohibit Schoenborn from going on escorted trips into the TriCities area. It also means the BC Review Board can hold Schoenborn without release at the hospital and conduct his review hearings up to once every three years instead of annually. The BC Review Board recently granted him the permission to request escorted outings and the province’s Criminal Justice Branch announced it would not seek an appeal of the BC Review Board’s decision. In July 2014, the Criminal Code
was amended through Bill C-14 to enable a finding of high-risk accused for adults who have been found not criminally responsible for a prescribed serious personal injury offence. To succeed on an application, the Crown must establish that either there is a substantial likelihood an accused will use violence that could endanger the life or safety of another person, or the offences the accused committed were of such a brutal nature, they indicate a risk of grave physical or psychological harm to others, the press release stated. Factors that a court considers in deciding whether someone meets the test for high-risk include, but are not limited to, the mental condition of the not criminally responsible accused at the time of the application, the past and expected course of his treatment and the opinions of experts who have examined the accused, the release goes on to state. It will be up to a Supreme Court judge to decide whether Schoenborn meets the requirements for a high-risk accused. The Criminal Justice Branch will endeavour to have the application determined prior to Schoenborn’s next annual hearing before the BC Review Board, which is expected in May 2016. If the application is not completed before that time, the Criminal Justice Branch will consider requesting an adjournment of the annual hearing pending determination of the highrisk application. If in place, a high-risk finding can only be revoked by a court.

Menard said via press release. Menard refused to comment to the paper directly with regard to council parting ways with Ostraat, saying only that there were some difficulties. A performance audit is currently being conducted on the Central Park improvement project, which had $300,000 in cost overruns. Menard did not comment on whether or not these cost overruns factored in to council’s decision.

Coldwater River watering Pyrolysis pitched at NVIT restrictions reinstated David Dyck THE MERRITT HERALD
As of noon Wednesday, Sept. 2, temporary water use restrictions have been reinstated on the Coldwater River and its tributaries, though they won’t immediately affect any users, as water levels are currently high enough. The order came from Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, issued under the Fish Protection Act. Fifty licenses are affected. The restriction order will expire at the end of the month. According to a press release from the ministry, the order is designed to be flexible. “Full-time irrigation will be permitted in accordance with individual water licences as long as flows exceed 1,160 litres per second,” reads the
release. “If flows fall below 1,160 litres per second, irrigation will be curtailed. If flows fall below the minimum flows required of 960 litres per second, all irrigation will be suspended.” The ministry will measure and communicate flows every Monday and Friday over the rest of September. The reason the ministry gives for the order is to protect salmon in the river. “In addition to protecting juvenile fish, larger adult coho and chinook salmon will be arriving soon to spawn,” said the government. “To improve spawning conditions and limit predation on these spawning fish during this critical period, flows on the river need to be at least 960 litres per second.” All angling on the Nicola, Coldwater and Spius rivers have been suspended since July 22.
Emergent Waste Solutions CEO Kevin Hull, speaking at NVIT last Thursday afternoon. David Dyck/Herald David Dyck THE MERRITT HERALD
Close to 100 people filed into the auditorium at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) amphitheatre last Thursday afternoon for a information session on a technology called pyrolysis. It was pitched by Emergent Waste Soultions CEO Kevin Hull, who was invited up to speak by the Friends of the Nicola Valley Society (FNVS). Hull’s company’s claim is that pyrolysis converts waste into products that reduce the need for fossil fuels and generate profits. “Biosolids are placed in an oxygen deprived environment and heated to a point at which the composite chemical makeup of the feedstock separates and the molecules recombine into usable products like fuel oil, syngas and a charcoal like product called
bio-char,” says the company’s website. The company has one plant that will be commissioned at the start of 2016, in Vegreville, Alberta. That plant will use rubber tires as the feedstock, but Hull says what’s put into the plant doesn’t matter — as long as it is carbon-based, the result will be the same. “This process has been tested on biosolids at the university level, and in numerous places,” he said. “We’ve tested it on biosolids on a small plant we built for research and development purposes, and it works beautifully. It’s a carbon based matter, it really doesn’t matter what form that carbon base is in at the molecular structure, it’s all very similar. When you break that carbon based material down you’re going to get gas and oil and a solid carbon in a powder form.”

Merritt’s current mayor is hanging up her political hat. Ater careful consideration, Clara Norgaard decided she was not going to run for mayor in the fall municipal election. In a hand-written letter sent to the media Monday afternoon, she wrote, “This fax is to advise you that I will not be seeking reelection for mayor.” Norgaard says she wants more time in the future to spend travelling with her husband. “I won’t have to keep a calendar of appointments,” she says enthusiastically. Norgaard moved to British Columbia from Alberta in 1956. Two years later she came to Merritt where she helped form the business Norgaard Ready-Mix. In 1961 she married her husband Henry who came to Canada from Denmark. Since 1990, she has served three terms as the city’s mayor for a total of nine years.

Bear-human conflict occurs in Merritt every year and results in the destruction of many bears.
HELP KEEP MERRITT’S BOULEVARDS AND LANES CLEAN We all want Merritt and the neighborhoods we call home to look the best as possible. A frequent question to the City’s Bylaw Department is “Who is responsible for maintenance of boulevards and lanes?” The short answer is the adjacent property owner. Just as with winter snow, the adjacent property owner is responsible for shoveling the sidewalk in front of their home, so during the rest of the year the adjacent property owner is responsible for keeping the boulevard and lane abutting their property neat and tidy. We may even want to consider helping some of our neighbours who may be less capable.
This is the time of year that bear sightings increase as they prepare to feast before dormancy. Garbage is the #1 attractant for bears and can attract bears away from their normal habitat. Bears are most active at night so garbage cannot be placed curbside the night before the scheduled pick-up day. The City adopted a bylaw March 10th 2015 that requires garbage cans must be placed curbside after 5am the morning of collection. It is also a provincial offence under the Wildlife Act to attract or leave an attractant for dangerous wildlife, such as bears. Do your part and manage your bear attractants, or it’s possible to receive a $100 fine. Let’s reduce bear-human conflict and avoid unnecessaryy destruction of bears.
With this in mind Merritt’s Nuisance Abatement Bylaw provides for minimum property standards within City limits. This Bylaw requires property owners to also maintain lanes and boulevards. We all need to do our part to maintain our neighbourhoods. One of the pleasures of living in a smaller community like ours is that the little extra that we contribute makes a huge difference that will positively reflect on the City of Merritt as somewhere great to live.

Mandatory vaccination records urged for schools

The Canadian Medical Association is calling for mandatory declaration of vaccination when children enrol at school. Black Press Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
With communicable diseases such as whooping cough, mumps and measles making a comeback, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date as they return to school. And Kendall has added his voice to that of the Canadian Medical Association, calling for mandatory declaration of vaccination when children enrol at school, as is done in Ontario and New Brunswick. The CMA voted at its annual meeting in late August for other provinces to follow suit, requiring immunization records but allowing exemptions for medical or religious reasons. Doctors also called for development of a national database to pull together records scattered between doctors’ offices and schools. “By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations,” Kendall said. “This is all part of B.C.’s free, routine immunization program.” Kendall emphasized that vaccinations themselves would not be mandatory, but the infor-

mation would give schools the ability to protect students when an outbreak happens. That means excluding unvaccinated children from school during an outbreak, and offering parents the chance to fill gaps in their protection. “Unvaccinated children are at risk themselves, but they also pose a risk to others because they create a gateway into the community,” Kendall told CKNW radio this week. “So we need the concept of herd immunity, where we get 95 per cent of the population of a cohort of children vaccinated, so it’s much harder for disease to spread in the community.” Vaccine records also give public health authorities a chance to counter misinformation that has proliferated in recent years, he said. “If we know who the parents of those children are, we can talk with them and tell them the facts and what is real and what is not real, and hopefully convince a good proportion of them that what they’re actually fearing is either unreal or not scientifically valid, or is in fact a misplaced fear,” Kendall said. “And we would hope that we would get some of those parents at least to get their children vaccinated.” Parents in B.C. can now sign up for free text message reminders at immunizebc.ca/reminders, and the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immunization records.

HERALD OPINION Urban society slides into helplessness Of all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the Lower Mainland, TOM FLETCHER one example B.C. summed up VIEWS the decline of our urban culture for me. It wasn’t the people who flooded 911 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment. With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs. Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables. Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores? How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others? Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on. Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help.

non-EU countries in the Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, etc.), and some of them claim to be refugees too. They are coming at the rate of about 3,000 a day, mostly through Turkey into Greece or across the Mediterranean to Italy, and the EU doesn’t know what to do about it. It’s not really that big a refugee crisis: one million people at most this year, or one-fifth of one percent of the European Union’s 500 million people. Little Lebanon (population 4.5 million) has
already taken in a million refugees, as has Jordan (pop. 6.5 million). But while a few of the EU’s 28 countries are behaving well, many more have descended into a gibbering panic about being “overrun.” It really is a case of the good, the bad and the ugly, and the best of the good is Germany.

where her mouth is: two weeks ago she predicted that Germany would accept asylum claims from 800,000 refugees this year. She also said that Germany is suspending the “Dublin regulation,” an internal EU rule that says refugees must seek asylum in the first EU country they reach. This is manifestly unfair to Greece and Italy, so Berlin will now allow all Syrian refugees to apply for asylum in Germany regardless of where they entered the EU. Moreover, it will regard

Syrian citizenship as adequate evidence that people are genuine refugees. France, Italy and the Netherlands have also been fairly generous about granting refugees asylum, and quiet, gallant Sweden is accepting more refugees per capita than anybody else in the EU. But the good news stops here. Most other EU countries are refusing to take a fair share of the refugees, or even any at all.

YOUR OPINION Power failure resulted in pitiful display
NEW AT THE LIBRARY
From Page 6 Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals. The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out, leaving overtaxed technicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it. In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers. About 15 years ago, I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold. Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised. Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage. Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements. In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world. This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force? Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast? Are you ready for the day when the machine stops? Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

Mixed reactions from EU countries to refugees seeking aid From Page 7 Let us define the bad as those governments that really know they should be doing more, but are shirking their responsibility for domestic political reasons. The most prominent are the United Kingdom and Spain, which played a key role in sabotaging an EU meeting last June that was trying to agree on a formula for sharing the refugee burden fairly among EU members. Prime Minister David Cameron’s problem is that overall immigration into Britain is high (330,000 last year), which has infuriated the right-wing media. In fact, more than half the newcomers were citizens of other EU countries (who have the right to cross borders in search of jobs), and only 25,000 were refugees — but such fine distinctions have little place in the public debate. And in Spain, there’s an election coming up. Then there are the ugly: the countries that simply don’t want to take in refugees because they are different from the local people. Like Slovakia, which said that it might take a few

hundred refugees, but only Christians, or Hungary and the Czech Republic, which are both talking about deploying armed forces on their borders to keep refugees out. All these countries lived under Soviet rule for two generations, which was almost like living in a cave. They have almost no experience of immigration, and it’s commonplace to hear people make racist or anti-Semitic remarks without the slightest sense of shame. In a way, they are still living in the 1950s. It’s not an excuse, but it is an explanation. So how, in these circumstances, is the European Union to agree on a common policy for sharing the burden of caring for the refugees? “We must push through uniform European asylum policies,” Angela Merkel says, but the EU operates on a consensus basis, and there is little chance that that will be accepted. In practice, therefore, the burden will continue to be borne by the willing. In an attempt to lessen the burden, the German chancellor has proposed a list of “safe” countries (like the Balkan ones, which account for
40 percent of asylum claims in Germany), where it may be presumed that most claimants are really economic migrants. Arrivals from “unsafe” countries like Syria, Libya and Afganistan, where real wars are underway, would be treated as genuine refugees. But even then, each case must be investigated individually. “Germany is a strong country and the motto must be: ‘we’ve managed so much, we can manage this,’” Merkel said, and no doubt she can get through this year without changing course. But there is every reason to believe that there will be another million people risking everything to make it across the EU’s borders next year, and probably for many years thereafter. It may even get worse. In the long run it is almost certain to get worse, even if the current wars in the Middle East all miraculously end. Coming up behind the current crisis is the inexorable advance of climate change, which will hit the Middle East and Africa very hard indeed. Nobody has the slightest idea how many refugees that will generate, but it is likely to be many times the current flow.

Figure skating season fast approaching Ian Webster THE MERRITT HERALD
After a terrific first year, the newlyreformed Nicola Valley Skating Club is looking forward to even bigger and better things this coming season. The club held its first registration session on September 2 at the Shulus arena. A second one is planned for the same location on September 12 from 10 a.m. till noon. The NVSC will be offering four Skate Canada programs this coming season, all taught by NCCP trained professional coaches. Pre-Canskate is designed for children three years and older who are just beginning to learn to skate. The program is geared to those who have no skating experience or are just learning to move on the ice. Each group lesson lasts 30 minutes. Canskate is a dynamic learn-to-skate program that focuses on fun, participation and basic skill development. It is for beginning skaters of all ages, from children to adults, as well as for those wishing to improve their skills — whether it be for figure skating, hockey, speed skating or just skating for fun. Group lessons are 45 minutes in length. The Junior Academy program is for those skaters wishing to fast-track their way to a figure skating program. Two 20-minute group lessons are enhanced by a weekly stroking session. Finally, there is STARskate, a program that offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, free skate and interpretative skating. Participants receive semi-private lessons with a coach and also do the stroking session. Fall classes are slated
to begin on October 6 and run for 10 consecutive weeks between 3:15 and 5:15 p.m. Registrants will have the option of either skating on Tuesdays or Fridays. Their exact lesson time will depend upon which program they register in. Returning as head coach again this season is Jennifer Yates from Kamloops. Yates is a certified NCCP Level 3 technical coach and qualified Canskate instructor with over 24 years of experience in the sport. “Skating has been with me since I was two years old,” Yates said. “I have been a skater, a coach, and a parent to skaters — I have been on a few sides of the fence. “I feel that skating is an incredible skill to learn and grow from. The confidence and improvement in just a short time with my skaters is something that is really satisfying to watch. I am looking forward to a great season ahead.” Yates will be assisted by newly-certified Canskate instructor Diana Parsons from Merritt, as well as local program assistants Jill Starrs, Lisa Connelly and Amy Stamp. All four coaching assistants grew up in the Nicola Valley and figureskated competitively in their youth. For more information about the Nicola Valley Skating Club and its fall programs, contact Starrs at 250378-0114 or Parsons at 250-378-7571. You can also visit the club’s Facebook page: Skating in the Nicola Valley.

National Coaches Week, Sept. 19-27 Ian Webster THE MERRITT HERALD
September 19 to 27 marks the first ever National Coaches Week in Canada. Organizers of the event are asking Canadians everywhere — whether they’re an athlete, a parent or a spectator — to help celebrate the occasion by saying ‘Thanks!’ to coaches from coast to coast to coast.
The thank-you can be in the form of a simple card or letter sent to an individual coach, or as elaborate as an all-out celebration by a community in honour of all those selfless volunteers who dedicate countless hours to enhancing the sporting and recreational lives of others. During National Coaches Week, several communities in and around the southern
Interior of B.C. are hosting National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) clinics to help existing coaches further upgrade their skills, and to encourage new individuals and groups to take up the challenge of coaching. On September 19, Merritt will be holding a one-day clinic at the civic centre on Planning a Practice. Other topics being
covered by clinics around the Interior are Nutrition, Basic Mental Skills, Making Ethical Decisions, Designing a Basic Sports Program, Fundamental Movement Skills and the Psychology of Performance. For more information on National Coaches Week, and NCCP course offerings, contact Josée Warren at the Merritt branch of PacificSport Interior (250-315-1075).
