During their Feb. 5 District of 100 Mile House committee of the whole meeting, councillors discussed a letter they received from Enderby regarding the shortage of doctors.

Like Enderby, 100 Mile House is having trouble attracting and retaining physicians, and councillors realize having medical practitioners is critical for the residents’ quality of life not only here but in the sur-rounding areas.

The main problem smaller rural commu-nities are facing is getting doctors to move to the community and stay and raise their families.

Many communities are turning to internationally trained medical graduates (IMGs) to fill the rural void because British Columbia and other provinces just don’t train enough doctors, and those who do graduate, are attracted to the larger cities in Canada, and in some cases, across the border into the United States.

However, the IMGs run into problems when they move to B.C. because they don’t have the certification that’s acceptable to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. (CPSBC).

In its letter, Enderby council noted its conversations with the CPSBC showed that significant barriers prevent B.C. from having IMGs with restricted licences that would allow them to practice in their specific area of qualifications either on a permanent basis or while they upgrade to full registration requirements.

Enderby council’s letter noted the CPSBC had stated the hurdle is the college’s lack of capacity and resources to assess the IMGs, and if they are found to have incomplete training, they are not able to access univer-sity programs to upgrade their skills.

Mayor Mitch Campsall said it is defi-nitely a problem in 100 Mile and as the Enderby letter pointed out the barrier is at the CPSBC level. Campsall said he believed “liability is the big issue.”

People in the South Cariboo really showed their hearts recently by helping a physically challenged little boy get his name on a Variety Sunshine Coach.

Loretta Findlay of 100 Mile House appealed to the public for sup-port in raising $1,047 needed for the tribute to her three-year-old grandson, Connor Findlay Dejonghe, of 103 Mile.

In less than a week, Loretta received dona-tions that amounted to $1,442.86, with the lion’s share coming from people who know the family and $400 coming from the Findlay family. The entire amount was handed over to Variety during the 47th Annual Variety Show of Hearts Telethon.

Loretta says Connor’s name is already on the van, which was present-ed to the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops.

“I’d like to thank everyone who helped put Connor’s name on the Sunshine Coach. Not bad for a small fun-draising.”

Connor’s pituitary gland, optic nerve and frontal lobe of his brain did not develop fully before birth, caus-ing him to be blind

and unable to walk. His underdeveloped pituitary requires him to receive hormone replacement therapy on a daily basis.

Shortage is a constant concernCouncillor Ralph

Fossum said it was a big concern and noted the CPSBC is “certainly not saying ‘yes’ very much.”

The mayor added it’s a problem that’s being dealt with in 100 Mile

on a daily basis.“We’re working on

one right now. A doc-tor is going through it right now and has gone to New York City to work.

Noting there are two local doctors working on recruitment and reten-

tion, Fossum suggested they ask these doctors to visit council to see if they have any sugges-tions on how council can get on board.

He then moved

that council instruct staff to contact the doc-tors ask them to visit council, which was sec-onded by Coun. Dave Mingo and carried unanimously.

A funny twist on a classic love story, WARM BODIES is a tale about the power of human connec-tion. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) en-counters Julie (a hu-man survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie

sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world.

South CaribooHealthFoundation

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark kicked off the pre-election legislature session Feb. 12 with a pledge to establish a new fund from natural gas exports to support social programs and pay down debt.

The main purpose of the “British Columbia Prosperity Fund” will be to pay down debt, starting in 2017 when the first lique-fied natural gas facilities begins to ship LNG for export from the northern coast to Asian markets. It will be funded by a tax on LNG exports, as well as gas produc-ers’ corporate taxes and traditional natural gas royalty revenues.

The new fund is pat-terned after Alberta’s Heritage Fund, set up in 1976 as a legacy for Alberta’s oil and gas revenues. The B.C. fund would receive an esti-mated $100 billion from LNG revenues over 30 years, based on an assumption of five LNG production facilities exporting gas from the Kitimat-Prince Rupert region.

The plan was pre-

sented in the throne speech delivered by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, to open a four-week legislature session leading up to the May 14 provincial election.

The key task for the B.C. Liberal govern-ment in that session is to pass legislation returning the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to B.C. effective April 1, and the speech hinted at relieving that tax as one use for the new fund.

“ W h e t h e r it is eliminat-ing the [PST], or making l o n g - t e r m investments in areas like edu-cation or vital infrastructure that strengthen communities –

these are the kinds of opportunities the B.C. Prosperity Fund can provide,” the speech stated.

NDP Leader Adrian Dix said the govern-ment’s focus on LNG development is at odds with its heavily adver-tised jobs plan, with little mention of for-estry, mining, tourism, film and TV production or high technology. The government missed its natural gas revenue tar-gets in a budget update six months ago, so pro-

jecting LNG revenues many years in the future is questionable at best, he added.

The government esti-mates that if B.C.’s LNG mega-project develops as expected, and all of the fund’s revenues are directed to debt reduc-tion, B.C.’s $56 billion debt could be paid off within a decade. The province currently pays about $2.5 billion

a year in interest on the debt.

There has been a rush of international investment interest in north eastern B.C.’s shale gas deposits. Companies include Mitsubishi Corp., Shell Canada, China National Petroleum Corporation and Petronas, a trans-national gas player owned by the govern-ment of Malaysia.

British Columbia is known for its beautiful backcountry, and the best way to enjoy it is in

a safe and responsible manner.

British Columbians are urged to learn more

about the necessary outdoor safety tools and techniques that could spare a life. Outdoor

adventurers can help themselves and others by being informed and staying avalanche safe.

Here are some key backcountry tips this avalanche season:

• Take a recognized avalanche skills train-ing course (offered through the Canadian Avalanche Association).

• Have the right equip-ment with you, practise with your equipment and check conditions before heading out into the backcountry.

• Before you head outdoors, be sure to leave a trip plan with a responsible individual and stick to that trip plan. For a printable copy of a trip plan and to learn more about being safe when getting outdoors, visit www.adventuresmart.ca.

• Take the conditions into account and plan appropriately. Learn

about avalanche safety and risks and get the most recent bulletin and weather forecast at www.avalanche.ca.

Every year, approxi-mately 14 people across Canada die in ava-lanches, and of those, about 65 per cent hap-pen in B.C. This is why it’s paramount that outdoor enthusiasts use their training and experience to practice safe backcountry travel. You control the risk by choosing where, when and how you travel. Furthermore, when heading into the back-country, especially on your own, tell your friends and family where you are going and when you’ll be back.

The 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association celebrated its young-est division with Initiation Fun Day at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Feb. 16. Goalie Xander Flett, back, had his turn in net and kept an eye on the approach of Nicole Hollander, left front, and Colton Beresford.

100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association is host-ing a Hockey Against Bullying 3-on-3 hock-ey event in support of Anti-Bullying Day on Feb. 27.

The mini tournament takes place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre and the public is invited to attend and dress in pink to show support.

Association presi-dent Darrell Blades says all members of the club, from Initiation to Midget divisions, will have a chance to play.

Ice will be divided into three sections and

Blades says it will com-pare to a pond hockey format, with three games going simultane-ously.

He says a small amount of bullying exists within the associ-ation and members are doing everything they can to eliminate it.

“We’ve had issues in the past where kids pick

on kids for not being as good. We recognize it’s there and want to bring it out in the fore-front.”

Admission will not be charged for the event, but the club will be sell-ing pink jerseys and T-shirts in the lobby. Money raised will be donated to an anti-bul-lying organization.

Following are notes from the Cariboo Regional District board meeting in Williams Lake on Feb. 8.

Invasive plant management reportThe Cariboo Regional

District (CRD) direc-tors received the annual review of the Invasive Plant Management department.

Treatment crews completed an inventory on 1,448 sites during the 2012 operational season, which began in May.

The CRD follows the concepts of an integrat-ed pest management program; employing a whole suite of tools to control invasive plant species depending on the species and/or site conditions. Treatment activities included mechanical, chemical, and biological.

The presentation also provided an over-view of the 2013 plan, which includes the start of a five-year 50/50 cost share program within the Landowner Assistance Program.

Further information about the Invasive Plant Management program is available online at www. cariboord.bc.ca or by calling the CRD’s

Environmental Services department at 250-392-3351 or toll free 1-800-665-1636.

The next CRD board meeting is in Williams Lake on March 1.

It appears a number of moose have been sight-ed in the 108 Ranch.

I received a call from Tim Matlock on Block Drive on Feb. 10, say-ing four moose were on his property. He added it was difficult to take good pictures as the moose blended in with the scenery.

Graham Allison of Canium Court also noted there was evi-

dence of moose had been on his proper-ty as he could see the tracks and the locations of where they had laid

down in the snow.

E-mail warningsI received an e-mail

from someone want-

ing to verify my Bank of Montreal account and was requesting my account number – don’t fall for this one.

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be representing the BC Liberal Party and was asking for money – as much as $100 or even $25. The request was so pathetically presented I could not accept it as a real request.

The moose are back

108 Mile Ranch

[email protected]

Sally Gimse had her first close-up experience with a moose when it visited the backyard of her Smith Road home in 108 Mile Ranch on Feb. 15. The cow moose roamed the property for a few days browsing on the Saskatoon berry bushes, and a bull calf was also in the vicinity.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod recently announced support for the Clinton Museum and Visitor Information Centre under the federal government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

The fed’s $5,900 grant will go towards updating the electrical system for the safety of local resi-dents and visitors. This project will allow the Village of Clinton to fur-

ther showcase its rich heritage as the Gateway to the Cariboo.

“CIIF program is assisting the village with a much needed upgrade to the electrical system at our local museum. The Museum/Info Centre contributes to our economy by drawing in tourists, and it is a building that houses our vil-lage heritage,” said Clinton Mayor Jim Rivett. “This project will safeguard the artifacts and the building for future generations to enjoy.”

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 24 TO MARCH 2, 2013

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, direct your efforts toward helping other people. You may � nd you are more energized when helping others, and your efforts will be much appreciated.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Surround yourself with friends and family this week, Taurus. Have some downtime, and you can use this time to catch up and reconnect with your loved ones.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, some levels of communication may be compromised this week, so your mes-sages may not reach the intended recipient. It could take longer to get your point across.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, your boundless energy keeps people happy and engaged and should be used as much as possible in the next few days. You also could be sought after to � x problems.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, tap into your creative side to shake things up and stave off some boredom. Others may think your actions are suspect, but you know these efforts will help you achieve your ultimate goal.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22You have to accept that things change and you cannot preserve the present, Virgo. That said, start making plans for new things for this year starting with right now.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, although you are able to think quickly, you much prefer to have things organized. If you have a presentation to make next week, start working on it now.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, there has never been a better time to put romance � rst. If you’re single, put all your cards on the table. If you’re matched up, increase your amorous gestures.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, some people you know may be caught up wondering about past decisions that might not have worked out. Help them to focus on the here and now.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, while you are glad to lend a help-ing hand when you are asked, the request that comes in this week could be so big that you may actually be caught off-guard.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18It is hard to make progress this week, espe-cially since it could feel like you’re going at a snail’s pace. Stick with it and everything on your list is likely to get done.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, although you can certainly use your share of the limelight, let another person shine this week and you’ll have your own glow.

100 Mile House and District SPCA has a couple of impor-tant fundraisers going on and organizers hope the public will support them.

Until Feb. 28, a penny drive is being hosted by Pharmasave in its Cariboo Mall store next to the pharmacy.

People can deposit cash donations in a large water

jug located in the store and SPCA branch manager Randi Dewhirst says the drive isn’t limited to just pennies.

“Silver coins and bills are appreciated as well.”

She adds Pharmasave came up with the fundraising idea and approached her about it.

“We’re thrilled to bits about it. It’s like someone saying, ‘Hey, we know there’s a need in

the community and we’d like to be there with you’.”

National Cupcake Day for SPCAs & Humane Societies is Feb. 25 and the local SPCA will be

exchanging a deli-cious cupcake for a

cash donation. Again, Pharmasave has

shown its support by providing space in the mall store, where the SPCA will have a table set up for the event from 10 a.m.

to 4 p.m. Dewhirst says fundraisers

are extremely important in keeping the SPCA in a position to help needy animals.

“We have a cat that was 24 hours from death, and thanks to the vet clinic, which helped, she goes to a new home at the end of March.”

She explains that proceeds from fundraisers were used to help cover the cat’s medical costs.

District of 100 Mile House councillors went through a number of business items during the Feb. 5 council meetings.

Carbon neutralityDistrict planner

Joanne Doddridge led the discussion on a draft Corporate Carbon Neutral Plan for council’s review and discussion.

Noting it was very comprehensive, Doddridge said it was intended to be a guidance or planning

document for the dis-trict, as it would change as guidelines are updat-ed and as council makes decisions on what to prioritize.

Councillor Ralph Fossum asked if it would change how the district operates, and Doddridge said it

would make significant changes.

Noting that if coun-cil just received the plan, the planner said it would be agreeing to the recommendations in the document. She suggested council might want to prioritize what changes it wants to work on.

Fossum said when he read the document, it struck him that if the district makes the sug-gested changes, it would significantly reduce ser-vice levels. There were nods of agreement around the table.

Mayor Mitch Campsall noted there would be a huge finan-cial burden to do everything. He added the district is already looking at its fleet of vehicles and equip-ment, and is changing

over to energy-efficient vehicles and multi-use equipment to help reduce greenhouse gases.

At the end of the dis-cussion, it was decided to direct staff to pri-oritize options that would be economically feasible and have the greatest impact on car-bon neutrality.

Sani station agreementNoting there were

concerns voiced a cou-ple of years ago about Cariboo Regional District residents using the 100 Mile House sani station as water refilling site, the CRD offered to share half of the opera-tion costs.

Council unani-mously agreed to give a three-year renewal to the existing agree-

ment, and accepted the increased funding from the regional district – taking it from $2,000 to $2,500 per year.

Development feesCouncil gave first,

second and third read-ing to the Land Use & Development Permit Application and Fees Bylaw.

The move is to bring the fees in line with the

district’s actual cost to process them.

Development permitsCouncil gave first

and second reading to an Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw to deal with development permit exemptions.

This bylaw would reduce some of the work for both the devel-opers and district staff.

Councillors deal with several business items

The Canada Safety Council is launching the Sarah Beth Therien Memorial Scholarship.

The new $2,500 scholarship is in honour of the longtime employ-ee of the Canada Safety Council and a passion-ate advocate for child and traffic safety.

She made medical history in 2006 as the first Canadian organ donor after cardiac death. Her medical leg-acy has gone on to save hundreds of lives so far, a number that contin-ues to grow week after week.

The award is also intended to raise the profile of safety in the minds of young Canadians.

The competition is open to graduating high school students enter-ing their first year of

post-secondary studies. Current undergraduate and college students are also eligible to apply.

Applicants must clearly describe initia-tives they undertook to improve safety in their community or at home, school, or work. The initiatives must have demonstrated results that can be verified by references.

The application form for the Sarah Beth Therien Memorial Scholarship is now available on the coun-cil’s website at www.canadasafetycouncil.org. To apply, print and complete the form, and follow all the stated instructions.

The application dead-line is June 15, 2013.

New scholarship available
