The F.W. Green Medical Centre sent out 1,100 letters which effectively ended many Cranbrook residents’ access to a family doctor.

The clinic has served notice to patients of Dr. Stuart Macdonald that they will no longer have a family doctor as of March 1, 2014.

Dr. Macdonald left his family medical practice to work full-time in the emergency department at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital back in July 2013.

“It is without a doubt a most unfortunate situation,” Lorraine Alderson, F.W. Green Medical Centre administrator, told the Townsman Tuesday. “Dr. Macdonald left the clinic in July of last year to fulfil a need in the emergency unit at the hospital. We’ve been able to get coverage from doctors out of the area. We’ve arranged that coverage up until the end of February this year.

“We’ve reached a point where we don’t have any more doctors willing to come into the area to provide coverage. It is a very unfortunate situation. Any patient that makes an inquiry, I am talking to them. The area is short of doctors.”

Patients told they no longer have doctor Continued from page 1 The letter, signed by Alderson, notes that while physicians at the centre have been working to find a replacement for Macdonald, a permanent replacement has not been recruited.

“We have appreciated the privilege of being involved in your medical care,” the letter states, “however, as of March 1, 2014 you will no longer have access to medical treatment at

the F.W. Green Medical Centre.”

Bev Evanchu has been going to the clinic since she and her husband moved to Cranbrook in 1978 from the Coast.

She was not happy to hear that come March

they would no longer have a family doctor.

“It was wrong of them to let him go without making sure that there was somebody in place to begin with, especially knowing the situation of how many people in this area are

without a doctor,” Evanchu said, adding that finding out about the dismissal from the clinic was akin to being dumped.

“It’s been a long association with that clinic and now we’re being told: ‘Sorry, you’re not

welcome here,’” she said.

For Evanchu, being able to see a duty doctor at the clinic would alleviate many of the issues, as the only other option, if no spaces open in clinics, is to go to emergency for things like

Truck theft, Sullivan pub break-in likely related C A R O LYN G R A N T Daily Bulletin

Kimberley RCMP are looking for a white 2006 Ford F-350 truck, which was not only stolen early morning January 20, but is likely related to a break and enter, says RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel.

Step #1: Call Karrie and get your access code number.

250-426-5201 extension 208

Newel says Kimberley RCMP received a report of a stolen truck on the morning of Sunday, Jan. 20 when the owner discovered it missing.

A short time later, police received a report of a break and enter to the office of the Sullivan Pub on Ross Street.

“A subject entered an office upstairs of the pub at approximately 4:30 a.m.,” Newel said. “Once inside, he removed a black fire safe and departed. Video surveillance showed a white pickup truck and police believe it to be the one stolen. The safe only

contained personal papers.”

Newel says the suspect may have known the location of the safe.

“I can’t say from the video. But we do believe the person knew it was there because nothing else was touched or stolen.”

Police are asking anybody with information or anyone who sees the vehicle to call RCMP at 250-427-4811. The truck has license plate DN9692 and a “Pioneer 107” badge on the front as an identifier for Forest Service Road use.

prescription renewals and check-ups for her husband, who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Caroline Johnson also received a letter.

Hers arrived on Monday.

“Having to go up to emergency to get a prescription filled is a waste of the patient and emergency staff ’s time,” Johnson said.

“It’s mind-boggling.”

She said she understands that Cranbrook is not the only community suffering a doctor shortage.

“It’s only going to get worse here, because there are a number of doctors who are nearing retirement age,” she said.

“Until it hits you personally, you don’t really understand the impact.”

The letter encourages patients to go to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia’s website to find information on locating family physicians accepting new patients in Cranbrook. However upon search through the list of physicians there doesn’t appear to be any in Cranbrook accepting patients. The F.W. Green Medical Centre follows the college’s guidelines.

In council on Monday, Coun. Sharon Cross spoke briefly on the issue, noting it had come up during a recent urban governance meeting she had attended.

Cross said she was disheartened to hear about the 1,100 letters going out to patients that will no longer have a doctor in the community.

“So we not only have a shortage of GPs (general practitioners), but that is being compounded,” Cross said.

She noted that there is a need for something creative to happen.

Bennett suggested a meeting with B.C. Housing to scale down the project.

“It seems to be the minister’s main concern is the cost per square foot, so we are trying to reduce that cost per square foot of the building,” said Cook.

“We are looking at going back to the two-storey building we initially put forward.”

Doing that would take out the extended stay units and family units, but keep the overnight shelter beds, and units for stays of up to two years. The proposal

may also be altered to remove the requirement that the facility be built to LEED Gold standards.

Ironically, it was B.C. Housing, an agency of the Ministry of Housing, that initially suggested the homeless shelter be expanded to include a third storey with extended stay units.

“It has caused a bit of heartburn over the last year and a half,” said Cook.

“They are the ones who wanted us to add it,” added Green. “So we are going to discuss with them: what do you want us to do?

He remains committed to seeing the facility come to fruition.

“I did meet recently with Captain Kirk and Neil and I reiterated my support for the project as my number-one priority for Cranbrook.

“I will keep working on finding funds for this.

We are in a very challenging time for money.

Our government is committed to balancing the budget and so very few capital projects are being approved.”

The homeless shelter project was born in January 2009, and went through two years of planning and community consultation before the project was submitted for approval.

“We understand that this project has been five years in development, and the economy has gone through a major reset in North America. The reality is that B.C. Housing is now looking at ways to try and serve the need in

Cranbrook, but at the same time not break the bank,” said Cook.

Donations for the shelter project continue to roll in from the East Kootenay community to the community foundation and Salvation Army. Green said that over the holidays alone, $10,000 was donated to the facility through the Salvation Army.

Green said he remains confident that the homeless facility will eventually be approved.

“We are assured that at some point this project is going to go ahead.

We are very thankful for the support that (B.C. Housing is) giving us, and especially our local MLA, who is very much behind the project and is trying everything he can.”

“Stick with us. We are going to get this thing built,” added Cook.

Ready to change sides in Syria

It

would be interesting to know just what tidbits of information the US National Security Agency’s eavesdropping has turned up on United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. He certainly caved in very fast: on Sunday he invited Iran to join the long-delayed peace talks aimed at ending the three-year-old civil war in Syria; on Sunday evening the United States loudly objected, and on Monday he obediently uninvited Iran.

So the peace talks get underway in Switzerland this week after all, and the omens for peace are not that bad. Unless, of course, you were also hoping for the overthrow of the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad and the emergence of a democratic Syria, in which case the omens are positively awful.

The breakthrough may not happen at Geneva this week, but the Russians and the Americans are now on the same side (although the US cannot yet bring itself to say publicly that it is backing Assad). Moreover, some of the rebels are getting ready to change sides. It won’t be fast and it won’t be pretty, but there’s a decent chance that peace, in the shape of an Assad victory, will return to Syria within a year or two.

What has made this possible is the jihadis, the fanatical extremists of the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, who have frightened both the United States and a great many ordi-

nary Syrians into seeing Assad’s regime as the lesser evil.

Two years ago, it still seemed possible that Assad could lose. The rebels had the support of the United States, Turkey and powerful Sunni Arab states like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and they still talked about a democratic, inclusive Syria. Assad’s only friends were Iran, Russia and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

But then the jihadis showed up, alienating local with their extreme Gwynne people version of sharia law and scaring the pants off the Dyer United States with their allegiance to al-Qaeda. It took the United States quite a while to admit to itself that it does not actually want Assad to fall if that means putting the jihadis in power, but it has finally grasped the concept.

More recently, a “war-within-the-war” has broken out among the rebels, with the secular groups fighting the jihadis and the jihadi groups fighting among themselves.

So far in January more people have been killed in this internecine rebel war (over a thousand) than in the war against the regime. And the US and Russia are working on a deal that would swing a lot of the non-jihadi rebels over to the regime’s side.

General Salim Idris, the commander of the Free Syrian Army (the main non-jihadi force on the battlefield), said last month that he and his allies were dropping the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

demand that Assad must leave power before the Geneva meeting convened. Instead, they would be content for Assad to go at the end of the negotiation process, at which time the FSA’s forces would join with those of the regime in an offensive against the Islamists.

He was actually signalling that The Free Syrian Army is getting ready to change sides. There will have to be amnesties and financial rewards for those who change sides, of course, but these things are easily arranged. And Assad will not leave power “at the end of the negotiation process.”

The jihadis are not at Geneva this week, of course; just the Russians and the Americans, and the Assad regime and the Syrian National coalition (the Free Syrian Army’s political front), and a few odds and sods to make up the numbers. It is an ideal environment for the regime and the secular rebels to discuss quietly how they might make a deal, with their Russian and American big brothers in attendance to smooth the path.

The fighting in Syria will continue for many months, even if a joint front of the regime and the FSA is formed to drive out the foreign extremists and eliminate the native-born ones. In practice the end game will probably be even more ragged than that, with all sorts of local rebel groups trying to cut their own deals or holding out until the bitter end. But the final outcome has become clear, and it is no longer years away.

McGill reflects on World Juniors TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

SUBMITTED PHOTO

JUST HANGING OUT: Cranbrook ice climber Gord McArthur continues to make his mark on the UIAA World Cup circuit, finishing in 13th place at his second tour stop in Busteni, Romania, this past weekend.

McArthur now heads to Saas-Fee in Switzerland for his third event on the World Cup tour.

Even though the IIHF World Junior Championship has come and gone, the disappointment of a fourth place finish is still fresh for Ryan McGill, who served as an assistant coach to Team Canada.

The Kootenay Ice bench boss has rejoined his club team, but he hasn’t stopped thinking about what could have been at the world’s premier international U20 tournament, hosted by Sweden over the Christmas break.

“Really what it boils down to is the disappointment of being a flat hockey team against the Finns in the semifinal game and we’re still analyzing why that is and I don’t know the answers will come out yet,” said McGill.

“I think that’s going to take some time, some reflection and obviously reflection by coaches, reflection by Hockey Canada management and officials, and hopefully we can come up with some answers on how to not let that happen.”

The Canadians lost their third straight semifinal game at the tournament in a 5-1 loss to Team Finland, which went on to capture the gold medal. Team Canada then drew the Russians for the bronze-medal match, losing 2-1 to finish fourth for the second straight year.

Ryan McGill talks with Team Canada defenceman Mathew Dumba during a game at the IIHF World Junior Championship. top of their group standings after round robin play, with only one 5-4 shootout loss to the Czech Republic after the tournament began on Boxing Day. Heading into the elimination games, Canada downed the Swiss 4-1 before going up against the eventual champions in Team Finland, which scored three times in the second period on their way to a 5-1 win.

“I thought we did get better every day in a lot of areas, and one area that we’re obviously disappointed in, is that we fell short, but we didn’t

fall short because of lack of execution—we fell short for whatever reason that we were flat, and we gave up a couple untimely goals,” said McGill.

“In a tournament like that, it’s so important that you have that narrow focus shift to shift, and I know it sounds like a cliche, but it really isn’t, because you don’t have time to recover like a seven-game series, so

you have to be really sharp in your narrow focus.”

After a five-year run of winning gold, Team Canada has two silvers, a bronze, and a pair of fourth place finishes. For the last four years, a different country has won the tournament, a sign of the parity between all the teams—especially the European squads.

“They’ve caught up,” noted McGill. “Canada was put on a pedestal for many years—rightfully so—and a lot of these European teams are now modelling themselves after the Canadian way.

“I think, now, that there’s so much parity in the world with teams, that Canada doesn’t have the upper hand on all these countries anymore. We’re all on a level playing field.”

Team Canada has 11 players eligible for next year’s roster, however, Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart and Barrie Colts defenceman Aaron Ekblad are top-rated prospects that could be playing in the NHL, which would make their return questionable.

Canada is home to the tournament next year as Montreal and Toronto will share hosting duties.

Alouettes QB Anthony Calvillo retires BILL BEACON Canadian Press

MONTREAL - Anthony Calvillo isn’t sure where he’ll be when the Montreal Alouettes open training camp in June.

He just knows that for the first time since ‘98 he won’t be on the field in his teal-coloured No. 13 practice jersey throwing balls to S.J. Green, Jamel Richardson and the other receivers.

The 41-year-old who rewrote the CFL record book for quarterbacks announced his retirement Tuesday following an illustrious 20-year career. It’s an end Calvillo knew was coming when he missed the final 10 games of the regular season with a concussion.

“My mind was pretty much made up at the end of the season that I wanted to retire,” said Calvillo. “I went on holidays to think about it but I was 99 per cent sure.

“In my mind I’ve moved on.

The process of being hurt helped me go through the transition. So when June comes around, I don’t know where I’ll be.”

Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, who got a crash course on Canadian football after signing with Montreal in August, is pegged as the new starter. That’s a position Calvillo held since 2000 after signing with the Alouettes as Tracy Ham’s understudy two years

earlier.

Calvillo leaves as pro football’s most prolific passer (79,816 yards) and the CFL’s alltime leader in completions (5,892), attempts (9,437) and TD strikes (455). A spot in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame surely awaits.

The five-time CFL all-star also holds records for completions in one game (44), most 300-yard contests (125) and 4,000-yard seasons (11). Calvillo also holds most Grey Cup game records, including passing yards (2,470).

Calvillo led Montreal to eight Grey Cup appearances, winning in 2002, 2009 and 2010.

Owner Robert Wetenhall

called Calvillo a “good and decent man” who was “arguably one of the great players in the history of professional football.”

In a statement, CFL commissioner Mark Cohon called Calvillo “more than one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. He is one of the most remarkable people to ever grace our league.”

Calvillo has a spot waiting for him on the Alouettes coaching staff, but he plans to take the summer off before looking at coaching in 2015. For now, he is working on two online courses to get the final credits he needs to complete the degree he started at Utah State University before he turned pro.

Welcome To Our Team!

MEGAN VONGRADULEWSKI

Stylist & Nail Technician

Megan would like to welcome all past and new clients.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you wake up feeling tired, don’t be surprised -- your dreams probably have been unusually vivid. You might want to back away from a situation, especially if your intuition points that way. A gesture you make could backfire. Be careful. Tonight: Avoid an argument.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Juggling several different interests likely will succeed, but try not to allow details to fall by the wayside. Others admire your ability to put the final touches on a project. Refuse to accept any other responsibilities for now. Tonight: Pace yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about. Listen to your inner voice before you cause yourself a problem with a loved one. Communication soars, and perhaps too much will be shared. Use your high energy well. Tonight: Romance blooms.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be taken aback by someone’s efforts to change direction. How you feel in the company of a loved one could be very different from how you might have thought you’d feel.

This person understands and indulges you more often than not. Tonight: Run some errands on the way home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are likely to say what you mean, which could startle several people. News heads your way that might put a different slant on a personal matter. Don’t hesitate to take action. Make a call, and seek out more information.

Tonight: In the swing of the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. A child or new friend will let you know what he or she wants in no uncertain terms. You might be able to bypass a power play and need to do nothing. Tonight: Use caution with your funds and a potential expenditure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

2 1 0 4 B - 2 N D S T. S , C R A N B R O O K

Claim your power by knowing what you want. Until you are sure of your direction, you need not do anything. A loved one could act in a most unexpected way. Step back and let the chips fall where they may. Tonight: Make a call, and treat a friend to dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to withdraw, as volatile news heads your way.

Until you have a complete grasp of the situation, this disengagement will feel right. Don’t push so hard to have your way. Tonight: Don’t swallow your anger; instead, express it in a way that can be heard.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Focus on what you want and expect from a situation. You have many options that could work well for you, but you must know your goal in order to make the right choice. A partner or loved one might throw a lot of possibilities at you. Tonight: Where the gang is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might have no choice except to assume the helm of the ship.

The results could be excellent because of your experience and drive. A partner will add to the commotion in your life without even realizing it. Instead of getting irritated, enjoy the moment. Tonight: Work late.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The key to making a situation work will be gaining a broader perspective. Detach, as difficult as it might be and despite someone’s attempt to pull you into the action. Someone at a distance could make a strong statement that shocks you. Tonight: Go where you can relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be in a situation that typically would push you and cause a temper tantrum or an argument. The smart move is to detach. An unexpected financial matter might force you to rethink a commitment. Share your feelings with a trusted friend.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A couple of years ago, you published my letter signed “No-Win Situation in Wisconsin.” My wife and I had been sharing a vacation with another couple, and I witnessed the husband kiss my wife on the lips as they left. You said if I trust my wife, not to worry about it.

After you printed my letter, I wrote this couple a half-sincere “take the high road” letter, admitting I could have been wrong about interpreting that kiss and invited them to come for dinner and stay over. They never replied. But a month later, they drove into town and met my wife for lunch while I was at work. The husband asked my wife whether I felt “neglected.” How smug is that?

A couple of weeks later, my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at a lovely vacation spot, and a week later, she stayed overnight at this couple’s home while visiting a mutual friend who was ill.

I am getting the distinct message that I am the one with the problem, and therefore, I can be completely bypassed when she makes decisions involving this couple.

While I do not feel it would be right to ask my wife to close the door on this friendship, that last visit had me losing sleep. I wrote my wife a letter about my feelings, and even though I realize their relationship could be nothing, it still upsets me.

Now that this husband has retired, I fear the pace will quicken in his efforts to put our friendship back where it was, but whatever my insecurities and shortcomings, I get angry just thinking about it. Am I making sense or just going bananas? -- More Maine Madness Dear Maine: We doubt anything untoward is going on, but your wife is deliberately disregarding your feelings. She thinks you are being foolish, and so she ignores you. This makes you feel marginalized and angry.

Please stop writing letters and simply talk to your wife. Tell her gently that seeing this couple behind your back only makes you distrust her, and that eats away at the core of your marriage. Tell her you will back off if she will be more respectful of your feelings.

Dear Annie: My wonderful husband delivers oil to people’s homes and works hard keeping homes toasty and warm throughout the winter. It is a demanding job, but for the most part, he enjoys it.

The problem is, some customers don’t plow or shovel paths to their tanks. Their driveways are cleared and the paths to their bird feeders, but my husband has to pull a heavy hose through knee-deep snow to reach the tanks.

By the time he gets home, he is soaked up to his thighs, cold and exhausted. This is enough to make anyone cranky. He sure would appreciate it if people could make his job easier by shoveling a path to their tank.

-- Please Be Kind Dear Please: Thank you for reminding our readers that any service people who need to have access to outside areas of their homes should not get lost in a snowdrift because the path isn’t plowed. This is not only for the person who delivers oil. It’s also the postal carrier, the meter reader and the cable repairman. If you know someone is coming, please see that they can get there.

Dear Annie: I totally agree with “I Need Nice Clothes, Too.” The bigger sizes are tucked into the furthest corner of the store, the selection is small, the styles are horrendous, the sleeves are too tight and the tops are too short.

My other complaint is that the large-size models don’t look like me. They are tall with flat stomachs. I am 5 feet 4 and the grandmother of four. There are a lot of older, mature women with money to spend, so I hope the manufacturers start listening. -- Inverness, Fla.
