North Shuswap to lose doctors

Health care: Pair of physicians plan to retire, service will end in September. Regional District, which sparked discussion among directors at last week’s board meeting in Salmon Arm. “We knew in 2011 that Drs. Bates would retire in three years and that is still their plan,” wrote society cochairs Jay Simpson and Pat Robertson. “In the four years that they have practised medicine from our clinic, our community’s health has benefited in remarkable ways.” Most significant, they say, is the chronic disease management program set up by Janet Bates with nurse Denise Bumby.

North Shuswap residents may be without doctors in their area come September. Drs. Janet and Ken Bates, who have worked closely with members of the North Shuswap Health Centre Society since 2011, will retire at the end of June. Locums will continue providing service until September. Members of the society provided an update on ongoing health issues in a letter to the Columbia Shuswap

an occasional vaccination clinic. The society’s initial focus was to replace all the equipment Interior Health removed when they withdrew services three years ago. The clinic now has three fullyequipped exam rooms and a sterilization unit that allows doctors to do minor surgery. “All of this has been possible because of the community support of our fundraising efforts,” wrote Simpson and Robertson, noting the society could come up with fundSee Community on page 2

“This regular monitoring of residents with complex needs adds immeasurably to their quality of life and minimizes their need for hospital care.” The society, which received a $5,000 grant in aid from the regional district in 2011 to assist with start-up costs, has grown to the point that the equivalent of five days per week physician care is provided, one day per week of lab services for blood collection, two days per week of nurse practitioner care and one day per month of service from a foot-care specialist, and

Community offers $15,000 incentive Mudslide blocks Continued from front ing to keep the clinic open for a further three months. “Now physician recruitment is our No. 1 priority and our community has supported our efforts by fundraising to provide $15,000 incentive for any physician who chooses Scotch Creek as a full-time practice location.” In their letter, the cochairs point out that while Interior Health

does offer rural practice incentives, they do not cover moving costs or signing bonuses. While currently in conversation with Interior Health, society members believe CSRD should be aware of the impact clinic closure would have on the 2,400 North Shuswap residents, who would have to drive anywhere from 30 to 90 kilometres to access health care. “We want to keep the services we have and if we do not have a

Larry Morgan, Area F director replacement physician by the end of September, we will be desperate.” At last week’s regional district board

meeting, Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan said a nurse practitioner is also a consideration. He pointed out that Sorrento has a nurse practitioner and residents there are only 15 minutes to a hospital, while some North Shuswap residents have a halfhour trip to a clinic. Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin noted retired Salmon Arm doctor, Brian Ayotte, is working on doctor recruitment.

“He attended a ‘boat show’ of doctors in Banff and there will be a meeting of that group on April 29,” she said. “Maybe you want to consider yourself part of Shuswap region, maybe come to the table and see what is happening and maybe focus on those efforts.” Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton agreed. “People are panicking there, everybody is struggling with this,” he said. “We need to get together.”

“I wished it would rain and now I wish I hadn’t,” said Tappen-Sunnybrae Fire Chief Kyle Schneider after being called out to a mudslide in the 6000 block of Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Rd. at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Schneider estimated the slide to be about 100 metres wide by 15 metres high. The slide, located about six kilometres past Herald Park, also hit a summer residence owned by someone from Alberta. “It doesn’t look like it was damaged,” he said. “There could be a basement window under all the mud, but we can’t tell with all the mud.” Ministry of Highways was on scene in the afternoon to assess the roadway. At press time, officials did not know exactly how many people were stuck on the other side of the slide area. Arrangements for clean-up were still in progress.

Recess cut during job action

Schools: Teachers union calls move ‘unnecessary.’ By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

School District #83 students will return to class today to the news that they won’t have a recess break, but will be getting out of school 15 minutes early. Due to job action by the BC Teachers Federation, teachers will be initiating phase one of strike action which includes withdrawing supervision duties. School District #83 superintendent Glenn Borthistle says to ensure student safety without teacher supervision, the school district made a decision to cancel recess for elementary and middle school students. High school students do not have scheduled recess breaks and won’t be affected. Students will be dismissed from class 15

minutes earlier and bus schedules will be adjusted accordingly. All schools will continue to be open with regular classes operating during this phase of job action, and instruction will proceed as usual. Buses will be running their normal routes. But BCTF President Jim Iker calls the move unnecessary. “The vast majority of school districts across B.C. have not cancelled recess and those that have should reconsider. Principals, vice-principals and excluded staff are more than capable of supervising the playground for 15 minutes each day,” he said in a press release. “The school districts that have cancelled recess have done so because it is inconvenient to Principals and management staff. They

have not even tried to find coverage as per the order from the Labour Relations Board.” He adds that the stage 1 job action is administrative in nature only. “Any recess cancellations falls squarely on the shoulders of school districts unwilling to move their staff around. Furthermore, teachers will continue to do previously scheduled voluntary activities. As such, there is no reason for any districts to cancel events, trips or extra-curricular activities.” Borthistle says school-based administrators will be assisted by district-based administration, management and staff to provide before- and after-school supervision. “It is our information that teachers will continue to participate in voluntary extracurricu-

lar activities they are currently involved in,” he added. As of press time, no School District #83 field trips or extracurricular activities had been cancelled or changed. Negotiations between the BCTF and the government are continuing, and union representatives say a decision to move to phase two of the job action will depend on progress at the bargaining table. Phase two would involve one-day rotating strikes throughout B.C. school districts, although the details of this plan have not been released. Should the situation escalate to a point where a full walk out is being considered, another vote of the teachers union members would be necessary.

City woman gets K9 experience BLACK PRESS

Sherri Funfer’s brother knows her well. When Ted Funfer and his wife, Julie, attended the Pooch Partners’ Raise the Woof fundraiser in Vernon in November for the Okanagan Humane Society and HugABull Rescue and Advocacy Society, they saw an auction item that was perfect for Sherri and gave it to her as a Christmas present: Spending the day with the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP police service dog squad. “It was a wonderful surprise,” said Funfer, a marketing administrator for the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union. “They knew I loved German shepherds and dogs so they thought I’d have an amazing time.” Funfer’s amazing time with Const. Marc Jones and his German shepherd, Traxx, was Tuesday in Vernon. She watched Jones training with Traxx and other members of the Vernon-North Okanagan police service dog squad – there are three handlers and canines that cover the North Okanagan, Shuswap and all the way to Revelstoke. Funfer watched Traxx go through some training drills, including tracking a hidden officer. “We show all the dif-

ferent profiles the dog works on,” said Jones. “That includes criminal apprehension and drug searching. We have two puppies in training and we’ll show Sherri what we do to get these dogs up to a point where we can try to get them into training to become regular police dogs.” Dogs all start their training at eight weeks of age, and most of the canines comes from the RCMP’s breeding program in Alberta. “We try to get the police dog out for any serious situation,” said Jones. “We like to try and use the dog wherever necessary.” A recent example would be the use of a police service dog and handler to help find a suicidal woman in a rural area of Vernon. The police dog was quickly able to establish a track leading away from the home. About 75 metres from the house, they located an area where the woman had stopped briefly. The track carried on for about another 500 metres across an open field and into a heavy bush area. The woman was located lying near a tree. When she was found she was very weak from a self-inflicted injury. She was transported to hospital to recover. Her life was saved by a family member who made the original call, and by the police ser-

Funfer, who looks after a 14-pound Jack Russell terrier named Ruby at her home, has been a fan of German shepherds since her family had one when she was a child. Her day with the police service dog was a Christmas present well enjoyed. “Getting to see what they do, spending time with the officers and the canines and just having a different experience is great,” said Funfer. “It’s a wonderful opportunity and a great fundraiser. Any dog lover would love a chance to do this. “The German shepherds are amazing, wonderful dogs, very friendly. I think people have a lot of misconceptions about them.

Price of gasoline only going up The angst at the pump this week was predictable. Anytime somebody informs you the cost of living is going up by a few hundred dollars, or more, during the next year, the groans are inevitable. Unfortunately, what also seems inevitable is the resignation. Gas price hikes aren’t new, or unusual. It wasn’t that long ago that prices were under a dollar per litre. Every time those rates jumped, people greeted the jump with the same type of response we heard Thursday. And every time, by and large, people continued to do what they’ve always done — filled up their cars and headed out to the highway. The simple fact of the situation is all of us are slaves to the gas pump. Try as we might to avoid it, our society is built around the automobile and has been for at least 60 years. Where we live, where we work, where we learn, where we eat and where we play are often impractical and sometimes impossible to link without the aid of a gas-powered vehicle. Most of us don’t think we can do anything about it; it doesn’t occur to some of us why we should even try. But we need to. We need to start directing our society away from its reliance on gas. It’s easy for some to dismiss the climate change crowd as intellectual zealots, and the 100-mile diet people as trendy hipsters, but the fact remains: we can’t continue down the path. Never mind the environmental issues, we simply will not be able to afford it financially. The future is coming and our lives are going to be different. Start embracing change before change buries us all. -Cowichan News Leader

OPINION

Keeping it real in the great outdoors I have been writing this column, in one form or another, for more than 40 years. I’ve written under the banner of The Great Outdoors in the Salmon Arm Observer/Shuswap Market News for some 18 years now (it would be interesting to know just how many columns I have written). Truth be told, it has not always been easy coming up with new ideas. I have, upon occasion, well – sort of had to stretch the truth – embellish the facts as it were. It is called creative licence. Sometimes I end up describing, in great detail, a lake or a stream that exists only in my imagination. Nevertheless, they are still very real trout that are caught in my imaginary lake or stream. The shadows lurking in the deep, dark holding pools are as real as the silver flashes that dart through the shallows to take my presentation, and take off to taildance across the surface of the water. The trees that cast their palette of colours around

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray my imaginary lake are the very same trees that once cast their olive green, shimmering forms across the waters of some lake that I have fished in the past. All I have to do is shut my eyes and once again I can see that lake so vividly. It’s not hard to describe it in one of my stories. The osprey that I write about, soaring in the sky high above, is the same one I watched from my boat when I was out on the real lake, casting to real fish. In my mind, there exist many lakes both real and imaginary. The dragonflies that buzz in and out among the reeds of the lakes I write about do so, in a similar fashion, on

the many lakes that I have fished over the years. The trees that formed a canopy above the streams I fished as a kid, still tower above those streams when I lean back to look up at the sun in my mind’s eye. Just as the rays of the sun streaking through the branches of those trees still warm my body and my soul. The caw of the magpie that mocks me as I stand, with fingers numbed on the banks of an imaginary river, casting to winter steelhead, sounds much the same as the one that mocked me from the high branch of a moss-covered cedar the very first time I went steelheading more than 50 years ago with my grandfather. And, while I know it is cannot be the same magpie, it is surely some distant relative. That voice is the same. That moment, when a trout rises out of the depths to investigate my fly sitting on the surface of the water, gets my heart pounding each and every time I relive the experience. The sight of sulphur

mayfly wings quivering in the early morning sun lingers warmly in my mind. The rustling sound of autumn leaves, disturbed only by a gentle breeze dancing across the tops of the trees, continues to rustle around in my memory, long after the breeze has passed. Sometimes I get to go fishing for real in lakes and streams. Sometimes I merely write about fishing. As you read this column, I will be sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River with my friend Corey. He is as ardent an angler as I have ever known. Corey and I have made a point of fishing together, at least once a year, for as long as I have been writing The Great Outdoors. If nothing else, he keeps me honest. I may use creative licence every now and then, but not when it comes to things like the number or size of fish. Details like that are unimportant. It’s being out on the water that counts. And when it comes right down to it, there’s no place I’d rather be.

Boogie Blues brings taste of festival Hot grooves: Festival film followed by live music. By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

It’s four long months before Salmon Arm’s hot summer ticket, but organizers are anxious to give fans a taste of Roots and Blues through film and with live performances by several talented hometown artists. Live Music & Cinema Night takes place at the Salmar Classic Theatre Friday, April 25. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the pay-what-youcan evening begins with a 7:30 screening of Boogie on Blues, director Jim Elderton’s sequel to last year’s Backstage on Blues. In Boogie on Blues, Elderton follows British boogie-woogie player Ben Waters and his madcap entourage of 25 friends on the artist’s third visit to the 2013 festival –one stop on a worldwide tour. Elderton films Waters at his arrival and throughout the festival weekend, as he performs solo and in workshops with artists such as the Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, Kelley Hunt and Sherman Doucette. Following the 40-minute film, Routes and Blues presents a musical evening from four of the Shuswap’s finest musical acts: • Blu and Kelly Hopkins: Blu was awarded the Okanagan Music Award for Bluegrass Artist Of the Year in 2007, and the BCIMA

Award for Bluegrass Band Of The Year in 2008. He has been nominated 12 times in various categories. Kelly is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, her songs ranging from rollicking and fun to heartfelt and poignant ballads. Kelly is a great acoustic bass player, and her mandolin compositions are traditional sounding yet fresh tunes that are delighting audiences and other musicians everywhere. Her warm harmonies combine nicely with Blu’s smokey baritone voice for a wonderful, relaxed sound. • Alan Bates and Sue Kyle have been playing and singing together in the Shuswap for 39 years. Seven years of travelling and performing with the now legendary horse-drawn Caravan Stage Company fostered a passion for playing live acoustic music. Over the years, they have continued to serenade campfires, coffeehouses and festivals as a duo, and as half of the local band, Birchbark. Sue is a multi-instrumentalist and an accomplished songwriter. Her songs are an infectious mix of folk, bluegrass and Celtic influences. Alan plays both guitar and bouzouki. • While he was growing up, Jesse Mast learned to sing and play a variety of instruments by immersing himself

Four blazes keep firefighters on the run The rain may have foiled some plans for the Easter weekend, but exhausted Tappen/Sunnybrae firefighters were relieved. Members of the paid, on-call volunteer fire department had been called out to fight human-caused fires four days in a row. Around 2 p.m. Sunday, April 13, the firehall had responded to an out-of-control grass fire on Bolton Road in Tappen. There was little rest as firefighters were dispatched to Recline Ridge Winery at 12:34 p.m. the next day. “The owners were burning clippings and the wind picked up, caught them and blew them into the grass,” says Tappen/Sunnybrae Fire Chief Kyle Schneider, noting four burn piles were involved. “The fire went up the hillside towards their house and was just on the fence line when we got there.” Schneider was concerned that, with the strength

of the wind, the fire might jump to the other side of the road where the Orica fuse plant is located. “As we pulled the line off the truck, the wind died down,” he says. “We really got lucky. But it was a little more difficult because in the beginning we had limited manpower – only three of us.” On April 15, White Lake firefighters responded to an out-of-control burn in the 3300 block of White Lake Road that was heading up the mountain. “It got about an acre into the bush and the incident commander did tell me we had some trees candling,” said Columbia Shuswap Regional District fire services co-ordinator Kenn Mount. Firefighters were called out at 2:35 p.m. April 16 for a brush fire near the Tappen Co-op on the TransCanada Highway. “They handled it quick; they were on it really fast,” Mount said, noting the suspicion is the fire was caused by a discarded cigarette.

Fundraisers continue hunt for Shuswap heroes A 2015 fundraising calendar featuring heroes of the Shuswap needs more entries. The Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre is planning this fundraising calendar, intended to honour heroes from around the Shuswap. Organizers are hop-

ing the fun way to honour community members, who continually give, will raise funds for the health centre. The calendar will feature photos of local heros who have been uniquely postured into the beautiful Shuswap landscape. So, who are the local

heroes in our communities? Help is needed to identify them. What’s the criteria for selection? These local heroes will be: • Those who see a need in the community and volunteer their services, without expecting compensation or laudation,

• Those who see a need and offer payment to fix it, without expecting remuneration, • Those who have stepped into danger without concern for their own safety to assist a fellow human being in trouble. If you can think of

another good reason that hasn’t been specified, tell the committee about it. Submit your choice, and explain why you feel they are local heroes, to sorrentohealth@gmail.com. Include their contact information as well as your own.

Funding for Notch Hill Hall Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors approved $24,932 in funding for the Notch Hill Town Hall Association. The funding, approved at the regional district’s April 17 board meeting will be taken from the Electoral Area ‘C’ South Shuswap Community Works Fund, and will be used for energy efficient upgrades in heating and attic insulation.

Opportunities growing in Salmon Arm

MAYOR’S MESSAGE Nancy Cooper As I look around I see opportunities opening up in Salmon Arm. You may have noticed that Salmon Arm is seeing an upturn in construction, with one large, light industrial building adding to the number of commercial buildings already on the go or scheduled to

start later this year. We are also seeing more single and multi-family homes under construction. With the upturn in construction, job opportunities multiply, highlighting the need for qualified building trade workers. At the last development and planning meeting, council reviewed the first draft of an industrial tax incentive program. Council is looking at this as a way to promote industrial investment in Salmon Arm and increase jobs in our industrial sector. Another opportunity is the announcement

of a direct flight from Kelowna to Fort McMurray beginning in May, enabling workers to live in our area. I know of families that originally moved to Alberta to be closer to dad’s job who are now thinking of moving back to our area. Their comment was “why would we live in Calgary or Red Deer when there is a direct flight from Kelowna to Fort McMurray.” This new direct flight will open up further opportunities for commerce between the destinations. Perhaps even for a shuttle bus to the Kelowna airport with possible

stops in Enderby and Armstrong to pick up workers heading to, or returning from, their jobs in Fort McMurray. Another good-news story comes from the MoneySense magazine, naming Salmon Arm among the top-10 Best Places to retire in Canada, which is fabulous and again will open up new opportunities. To wrap this up, I am encouraged by the positive upturn in construction, the new industrial tax incentive, the MoneySense article, and the direct flights to Fort McMurray, which are all creating opportunities right here in Salmon Arm.

NO Interest NO Payments

Some basic tips to help simplify gardening Now that the warm weather has arrived, are you feeling the urge to do some yard work and create new flowerbeds, just like so many other gardening fans? Sometimes this enthusiasm lasts throughout the growing season, but sometimes it wanes as summer progresses. Indeed, a lot of gardeners are much less energetic once July or August rolls around, and it isn’t unusual to see some yards looking a touch neglected. Fortunately, it is possible to create beautiful surroundings that require less care. Here are a few tips. ■ First of all, be sure to choose plants that grow well in your

area and in your climate zone. A spectacular plant seen in the south may not necessarily give the same results in the north. ■ If you buy perennials, opt for slow growing varieties. That way, you won’t have to divide the plants every two years. A gardening professional can help you find some good cultivars. ■ Be savvy with plant combinations. For example, plant tulips around hostas. The tulips will appear in the spring, but when their flowers fade, the hosta leaves will hide the yellowing leaves of the tulips. No need to prune them!

■ Container gardening is another way to limit yard work. Weeding is done in a few minutes, compared with an hour or more to hoe flowerbeds. ■ Mulch is a great way to limit the

growth of weeds; it also helps the soil retain its moisture, which means less watering. ■ Use quality tools. Just like in the kitchen, a dull, blunt blade can prolong the job at hand.

Farmers seek changes to ALC legislation BLaCk Press

Newly appointed Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick is meeting with B.C. Agriculture Council representatives this week to discuss their growing concerns about a plan to set new rules for protected farmland in the B.C. Interior. When changes to the Agricultural Land Commission were announced in late March, the move was generally endorsed by Rhonda Driedinger, then chair of the BCAC. Dreidiger, a berry grower in the Fraser Valley, said opening up the Interior, Kootenay and North regions to secondary uses based on social and economic needs would help farms innovate and stay in business. Dreidinger has been

succeeded as BCAC chair by Stan Vander Waal, who operates flower greenhouses in Chilliwack. After meeting last week with Letnick, Vander Waal wants changes to the legislation. “It is the position of the B.C. Agriculture Council that as currently written, Bill 24 threatens the sustainability of agriculture in B.C.,” Vander Waal said in a statement. The BCAC is forming a steering committee of member farmers to continue discussions with the government. The changes were spearheaded by Energy Minister Bill Bennett as part of the government’s “core review” of operations. They would allow consideration of more non-farm uses outside the Island, South Coast and Okan-

agan regions where most of B.C.’s farm income is generated. Bill 24 also formalizes the cabinet appointment process for the ALC’s six regional panels, so two or three local farmers make the front-line decisions on applications for permitted uses such as a secondary residence. NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons has protested the legislation since it was revealed. “The decision to protect land suitable

for agriculture 40 years ago was for the benefit of future generations,” Simons said. “Having two zones and the ‘regional panels’ make decisions about agricultural land is too political.” Bennett said the current ALC chair has refused to appoint local panel members recommended by government, centralizing the ALC function and subverting the intent of changes made in 2003 to provide local input to decisions.

MMBC opponents prepare for court fight

Recycling: Businesses aim to thwart new agency. By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Business opponents of Multi Material BC are planning a court challenge to reverse the takeover of B.C.’s curbside recycling system by the stewardship agency. They continue to urge the provincial government to freeze the new MMBC system before it takes effect May 19, but are also laying the groundwork for a legal battle. Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, is urging other businesses to sign and submit their MMBC contract but then give notice to the government that they won’t pay fees or otherwise cooperate with the new system to collect packaging and printed paper. McCulloch intends to gather opt-out letters from numerous businesses across B.C. and deliver them to the province. If the MMBC rollout continues, he said, they will argue in court that the MMBC contracts were invalid and they were coerced to join the government-created recycling monopoly. “We’re fairly confi-

dent at this point it will be struck down,” McCulloch said. “No company in their right mind would sign that contract of their own free will.” The province contends MMBC is voluntary and various industries could instead form their own separate waste-collecting organization. That option is not practical or reasonable, McCulloch said. “The suggestion that we are able to launch or own a stewardship program independent of MMBC is a sham.” The MMBC program aims to transfer recycling costs from municipal taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging and printed paper, while collecting more containers and material types than before. But many businesses argue they’re unfairly compelled to pay far higher fees than a similar system run in Ontario. Critics say MMBC’s three-member interim board is controlled by executives with multinational firms like Unilever and Proctor and Gamble who have manipulated the launch of the new program to their benefit rather than the interests of most

B.C. businesses. Questioned by the NDP last week, Environment Minister Mary Polak said she expects a more representative 15-member permanent board to be named soon after MMBC’s launch. Polak said it’s logical the biggest industries that pay the most into MMBC get a large role. A new advisory council was also recently unveiled by MMBC with reps from several B.C. business groups, but critics say it has no real power. Pausing the program and the payment of fees by member businesses would cut off the money MMBC will send to most local cities that agreed to continue curbside pickup. “Any delay in implementation for those communities would mean a loss of that savings,” Polak said, adding many municipalities have already budgeted to receive promised MMBC payments. She said examples of those amounts are $1.5 million a year coming to Richmond and $917,000 to Nanaimo. Mike Klassen, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said he’s not aware of any cities reducing their property

WOODLOT LICENCE PLAN PUBLIC REVIEW

Notice is hereby given of the public review period for the 20142024 Woodlot Licence Plan (WLP) for Woodlot Licence (WL) 2024. WL 2024 has development units located along Johnson Creek (near Mara Lake) and along Gleitz Creek (in Trinity Valley). The WLP outlines the resource values and management strategies for those values associated with the Woodlot. The WLP is consistent with the Okanagan-Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan and the Forest and Range Practices Act. Prior to approval from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO), the WLP is available for review and comment by First Nations, the public and resource users until May 26, 2014. The WLP may be viewed by contacting Jody McCall, RPF PAg for an appointment at (250) 545-9749 ext 205. The WLP may be amended as a result of written comments received on or before May 26, 2014. Comments received after this may not be included in this plan, but may be considered for future development. Please address comments to Woodlot Licence 2024, PO Box 28070, Lavington, BC, V1B 3L9 (attn.: Jody McCall, RPF PAg).

taxes as a result of the expected MMBC savings. “That’s one of the things that’s been most misleading – the idea that this was going to save money for the general taxpayer,” he said. Klassen argues consumers will pay twice – their local taxes won’t go down but they’ll also pay higher retail prices as businesses pass along the MMBC charges. He said most mayors and councils are being cautious and aren’t spending MMBC savings until they actually arrive – meaning there’s still opportunity to freeze the rollout. “That suggests to me they’re also very wary of the program and have a fallback program in case things don’t work,” Klassen said. “The world doesn’t all of a sudden turn upside down if we pause this program and take some time to reflect on how to do this well.” Small businesses with single storefronts have been exempted by the province from MMBC’s requirements. But Klassen said franchisees don’t qualify, leaving hundreds of small businesses like meat shops and Subway sandwich outlets facing hefty costs.

Ukraine: Stupidity in action GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer It’s all too easy to imagine the high-level meeting in Kiev where the Ukrainian government decided on its next move. It probably sounded a bit like this: “Very well, gentlemen, we are agreed on our strategy for dealing with the Russians. First we will figure out exactly what they are trying to force us to do. And then we’ll do it.” Of course, it sounds stupid when you put it like that, but this does appear to be the Ukrainian strategy in a nutshell. Or, as Ukrainian Security Service General Vasyl Krutov put it, “They [separatists] must be warned that if they do not lay down their arms, they will be destroyed.” As I write this, the first reports are coming in of Ukrainian troops trying to take back control of occupied government buildings in the east of the country by force. This cannot be done without killing people. And that is exactly what the Russians want. The provisional government of Ukraine does have a serious problem in the east, of course. It is trying to organise a national election in less than six weeks’ time that will produce a govern-

ment whose legitimacy nobody can question. There may be a referendum on constitutional reform at the same time. It will be harder to do that credibly if government buildings in half a dozen eastern cities are occupied by armed men. On the other hand, if Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin really wants to seize control of eastern Ukraine, or even all the parts of Ukraine where there are significant numbers of Russian-speakers, what he needs is a pretext. It’s already clear from Russian official statements what that pretext would be: that the “fascist puppet government” in Kiev is “killing its own citizens” just because they are Russians or Russian-speakers. It is doubtful that all or even most of the heavily armed men in the occupied buildings are actually Ukrainian citizens. There was no separatist political organisation in the east before the revolution that was capable of producing hundreds of volunteers with military training, wearing identical uniforms and carrying identical Russian-made weapons, and using them to seize multiple targets in different cities simultaneously. It looks like Crimea all over again: a lot of the “local militia” there were also really Spetsnaz (Russian special forces). But there is a big difference: the Donbas, the region where Donetsk and the other affected cities are

located, does not contain a civilian majority that actually wants to be ruled by Russia. If it did, the pro-Russians could just come out in non-violent crowds, like the protesters did in Kiev, and take control of the region peacefully. The Crimean tactics won’t work in the Donbas, because most people there see themselves as Ukrainian even though they speak Russian on a daily basis. So there are no peaceful mass protests demanding “unification” with Russia, and the small groups of armed men who have seized buildings in various cities will only provide a usable pretext for a Russian invasion if some of them are killed by Ukrainian government forces. The truth, mercifully withheld from the soldiers in the occupied buildings, is that they are there to provide some martyrs – and when they die, Spetsnaz or not, they will be portrayed as local people killed by the government in Kiev. Then the Russian forces will move, to “save” the oppressed Russian-speakers of eastern Ukraine from the fascists in Kiev. So why is the Ukrainian government going to provide Putin with exactly that pretext by attacking the buildings in question? It would be inconvenient, but quite possible, just to blockade them, leave them in Russian hands and carry on the election around them. Or, if the authorities in Kiev

find that too embarrassing, then just cut off the water and wait for the occupiers to come out peacefully. A week or two should be enough. You would think that the government in Kiev, which came to power itself by mainly non-violent means, and finally won when the Yanukovych government discredited itself by the massive use of force, would understand the importance of not killing people. It appears you would be wrong to think that. Maybe this conclusion is premature. Maybe, when the “volunteers” occupying the government buildings don’t flee at the first shots – and they won’t; these guys are professionals – the Ukrainian troops will be ordered to stop. Common sense could yet prevail. But the Kiev government has been doing the wrong things in the east for so long that a last-minute change of heart seems unlikely. And by the way, could somebody please explain to the Central Intelligence Agency why the optics of sending John Brennan, the director of the CIA, to Kiev last Sunday were so bad? And why swatting the critics away by saying that it was just a “routine” visit made matters worse? Governments that are “routinely” visited by the head of the CIA are usually puppet governments. Though to be fair, in this case it’s not so much a puppet government as a very stupid government.

A four-month-old German shepherd puppy is recovering from multiple pellet-shot wounds after being found near Neskonlith Lake. The BC SPCA has launched an investigation and is hoping someone in the community has information about the person or persons responsible. “Some individuals out walking their dogs by Neskonlith Lake earlier this month saw the puppy cowering under a bush,” says BC SPCA senior animal protection officer Kathy Woodward. “They took him to a veterinary clinic in Salmon Arm, where the pellets were removed.” She notes that one of the pellets that was surgically removed was only

Woodward says the veterinarian caring for the puppy is covering the full costs of his medical care and one of the clinic staff plans to adopt the dog. “Thankfully, the puppy will recover and will be adopted into a loving home, but the SPCA is seeking information

leading to charges in the case,” says Woodward. “It is important that people understand that animal cruelty is not acceptable and those who inflict pain and suffering on animals will be brought to justice.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the BC SPCA animal cruelty hotline at 1-855-622-7722.

Building hope for youth Project: Conference explores rural communities. By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAff

Three Chase area young people got a chance to share their area’s strengths and challenges as part of the province-wide Rural Youth Diversity Project workshop, and returned home with personal pledges to change the area in some way. Natasha Durning of the North Shuswap, Genie August of the Little Shuswap Indian Band Mel Charters of the Adams Lake Indian Band and participant Natalya Melynchuk went to the event in Richmond April 7 and 8. The conference brought together 27 young people from both urban and rural settings to network and explore themes of diversity, prejudice and the sustainability of youth in smaller communities. “The hope is to create engagement and for

these young people to become more involved in their communities,” said Melynchuk. “It was great to hear people saying that when they arrived, they maybe didn’t have a whole lot of respect for their small community, but now they want to give it more of a chance and get more involved. It gives hope for the future of rural B.C.” Durning, who recently returned to her roots in the North Shuswap after a stay in Vancouver, said the project was very relevant to her, as she is trying to decide whether to make the area a permanent home. At the end of the sessions, each participant was to make a personal pledge to action. “My pledge was to bring youth more of a voice, to use the connections I’ve made to bring youth together,” she said. One of the biggest

things discussed was communication between non-aboriginals and First Nations, which Durning says is especially relevant in the Shuswap region. “We talked a lot about how to open communication, to bring people together, have them listening, speaking, talking, sharing.” Charters’ pledge also focused on bringing native and non-native people together. “I think people maybe don’t talk together as good as they should, they keep away from each other. Maybe we should try and get together more to learn about each other.” August spoke of the discussion on stereotypes. “Instead of looking at a whole group of people in one way, it was about thinking about your own values, and thinking about how other people are thinking. If

you change that on an individual level, those changes can add together… That’s what was pretty great about meeting some of the people there and hearing about how they live.” In looking at challenges, all three participants spoke of employment and access to resources. August, particularly, was concerned about a lack of resources for young people, especially those who struggle with issues like education or substance abuse. “My pledge was a bit of a someday pledge, but it was to do something to address the addictions issues in the community. I’ve seen a lot of people stuck in substance abuse and it makes me sad. I know at Squliax I’ve been given a lot of help, a lot of resources with the band, and I want to go back and give back to them in that way.”

Spring forward with these Eye Safety breathe-easy cleaning tips Is Always

With the snow and cold behind us, Canadians will be getting busy with dusting, mopping and clearing out the closets during their annual spring cleaning. But, before you start clearing out all of the nooks and crannies in your home, it’s important to understand the potential impact on your health. Though giving your house a deep clean is a good idea, it can also stir up allergens and dust, which can cause irritation to your respiratory system. Harsh fumes from cleaning products also have the potential to affect your health, especially if you have a lung condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, causes permanent narrowing of the lung airways. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing up phlegm and wheezing. When symptoms get worse or a new, persistent symptom like a change in phlegm comes on, it could be the beginning of a lung attack, which can potentially lead to hospitalization, restricted mobility and even death. Before you start your annual spring cleaning, follow these steps: Natural beauty: Harsh cleaning sprays can cause irritation and trigger breathing problems. Instead, try a less toxic alternative like hydrogen

peroxide or a natural cleaning solution like vinegar. Destroy dust: Take steps to make your home as dust-free as possible throughout the year by dusting and vacuuming regularly and washing bedding in hot water to avoid the collection of dust mites. If you suffer from respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies, consider removing or reducing the carpet in your home as well as replacing curtains with blinds to further minimize the collection of dust and dust mites. Learn about lung attacks: If you have a lung disease like COPD and notice any significant change like increased coughing, shortness of

breath, wheezing or an unusual change in phlegm, contact your physician. Discuss your worsening symp-

toms and also ask if your medication dosages need an adjustment.

nasal congestion, runny nose and sneezing, there are many over-thecounter antihistamines and decongestants available. Drug-free nasal strips may offer additional relief of nasal congestion at night to help improve sleep, opening up the nose and thereby improving airflow. For more severe symptoms, talk to your

doctor about prescription treatment options. Itchy and Irritated Eyes: Over-the-counter eye drops can help soothe symptoms, or talk to your doctor about prescription treatment options. Long-term Lung Issues: Seventy-five per cent of asthma patients also suffer from seasonal allergies. To reduce

the risk of an asthma attack, it’s important to take your asthma medication(s) to relieve symptoms and help maintain control. At your next visit, talk to your doctor about your allergy and asthma symptoms and discuss which treatment options may be right for you.

Dave was a ComposingRoom Foreman for the Albertan and later the Calgary Sun, retiring to Blind Bay B.C. in 1995. He was an avid sports fan playing hockey and soft ball but his love was curling. He skipped a team for the media league in Calgary for many years. He took joy in the wonders that the Shuswap and Blind Bay had to offer, loving the outdoors. Dave enjoyed camping, carpentry, the birds, gardening, walking, campfires, and quiet moments at the lake. He was creative and handy around the house. Visits from family and friends brought him happiness. The coffee was always on at Dave’s place. He loved to laugh, enjoyed a good joke and had a friendly smile for everyone. The past 20 years he faced many health challenges, with a positive attitude and a great sense of humour, never feeling sorry for himself. He is survived by his wife June of 55 years, 3 daughters, Sandra (Brad) Baillod, Laurie (Ray) Meaney, Jodi-Lyn (Gord) Vass. Dave was very proud of his grandson Jamie Meaney and greatgranddaughter Kaylee Meaney. Also survived by his brother Bob (Helen), his sister Barbara Andreychuk and many wonderful nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by parents Vi and Les Samphire, sister and brother-in-law Maxine and Dave Osborne, brother-in-law Bill Andreychuk. Dave was loved very much and will be missed dearly. A very special thanks to the caring and compassionate nurses, care aids and staff at Bastion Place, Special Care Unit. Along with Dave’s loving and dedicated wife, they truly were his angels. Thanks also to Dr. Breugem and Dr. Gow. A get together of family and close friends will be held at a later date in Calgary.

KRIVAK, DONNA MAY (NEE PHILLIPS) Donna May Krivak (nee Phillips) passed away April 13, 2014 at the age of 74 years at Salmon Arm, BC. Born in New Westminster, BC on December 5, 1939. Predeceased by her parents, Norma & Rupert Phillips, husband Andy Krivak (2007) and grandson Andrew Krivak (1988). Survived by her children: Glenda Marchand (Krivak), Daniel Krivak, Steven Krivak and wife Shar Czar-Krivak, Debbie Barron and husband Kelly Barron, Douglas Krivak. Grandchildren, Derek Krivak, Miranda Toner (Krivak), Rebecca Marchand and Nicholas Barron. Donna, Andy and family moved to Salmon Arm in 1973 and lived and worked in the Sicamous area for approximately 5 years. During the early years Donna managed the old Dairy Queen and worked at the Shuswap Inn. In Sicamous she cooked pancake breakfast at the KOA. The family would like to thank the staff at Hillside Good Samaritan Village for their loving care and support over the last 2 years. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Donna’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com. GUS “JOSEPH GASTON” OUELLET DECEMBER 2, 1944 - APRIL 14, 2014 Gus passed away on April 14th at the age of 69 years, with his work boots on and as always, on the go. Gus was born on December 2,1944 to Amedee (1912 to 1984) and Eva (1913 to 1999) Ouellet at the family farm in La Corey, Alberta. He was also predeceased by brothers Jean-Noel, Gregoire, Joseph and sisters Ginette, Marie. Gus is survived by his loving wife Verna of 45 years, their children Annica (Peyton, Cheyenne, Alexander), Gregoire and daughter in-law Trina (Nicholas), his brothers Jess (Marie), Gary (Julliet), Gilles (Marylyn), Reno, Mario (Darlene), and sisters Gheslain (Charles), Gaetane (Raymond), Georgette (Paul), Gloria (Andre), Gemma (Alan), Rachel (Mike), many nieces and nephews, friends and of course his dog Laddie. Gus married Verna after a short courtship that was initiated when she jumped out in front of his 64 NewYorker and thankfully was successful in flagging him down. From that point they were destined to experience life’s many adventures together as one. Gus attended college in St-Boniface, worked in the Thompson Mines, the logging industry in Hinton Alberta and Malakwa British Columbia, and a short stint back to his farming roots driving a combine. Upon semi-retirement (no one could ever slow him down) when not living as a Snow Bird he and Verna were immersed in the lives of their loving grandchildren as well as their family and friends. Gus will be remembered as a devoted husband, caring father and Bubby, an avid gardner, amateur boxer, fisherman, pilot, straight shooter, hard worker and by most a loyal friend. A memorial service at the Sicamous Bible Church on the corner of Hwy 97A and Kappel St will occur at 2pm on Saturday, April 26, 2014. In lieu of flowers, donations accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.
