The allure of the Lower Mainland is one factor keeping doctors from choosing to locate in rural communities like Sicamous – and Kelowna.

District of Sicamous council recently received an update on the ongoing doctor hunt by Phil Mar-tin of Global Medics Ltd.

In March of this year, the district contracted Global Medics to seek out two doctors for the Si-camous Medical Clinic. Council budgeted $30,000 to cover Global Medics’ recruitment costs. While Global Medics is working with doctors seeking positions in B.C., Martin says most, if not all, are choosing to locate in Vancouver or on Vancouver Island.

This, he explains, has to do, in part, with their training, as they don’t feel they have the medical training (procedural skills) required for a family medicine residency in smaller communities. Doc-tors are also concerned rural communities won’t have the job opportunities for spouses, or it’s a family decision where the partner and/or kids are not wanting “to be too rural.” Martin notes their de� nition of rural can include urban centres such as Kelowna.

“I think it’s just a different understanding, but please know we’re doing all we can to educate them on the fantastic living, high quality of life and beautiful surroundings when you live and work in some of the smaller communities in Canada,” writes Martin.

Under its recruitment contract with the district, Global Medics will be paid $15,000 plus taxes per doctor, half of which is paid when one is found and the other, if and when they start work. If the doc-tor decides not to locate in Sicamous, the district’s money is reimbursed.

To improve its odds of attracting doctors, the district has also agreed to make available the fol-lowing “physician recruitment lifestyle incentives: year 1: $500/month; year 2: $300/month; year 3: $200/month. For transportation: year 1: $250/month; year 2: $150/month: year 3: $100/month.

Regarding Global Medics’ costs, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area E director Rhona Martin has suggested funding could be provided through the CSRD Economic Opportunity Fund.

“The CSRD and Rhona would be more than happy to support us on that…,” commented Mayor Terry Rysz. “Malakwa is just as concerned about us having doctors as Sicamous.”

Sicamous taxpayers are in the process of acquiring some prime Main Street real estate.

At its Wednesday meeting, district council voted in support of borrowing $505,000 through the Municipal Finance Authority for the purchase of property lo-cated at 200 Main St.

Couns. Colleen Anderson and Janna Simons were opposed to the borrowing.

The empty, 1.59 acre parcel had been listed on the market at $642,000.

While a use for the property has not

yet been determined, Mayor Terry Rysz said council had considered making it park space.

“It just becomes an as-set for the community,” said Rysz.

“Council felt it was an opportune time to pick up that piece of land for the bet-ter interest of the commu-nity. We haven’t designated it as park yet. We originally thought that’s what we’d designate it as, but then we tossed it around a little bit more because of the fact we are now assessing our OCP

(of� cial community plan).”The borrowing agreement supported

by council requires the dis-trict to repay the borrowed sum over � ve years at an in-terest rate of 1.24 per cent.

A staff memo notes this will be repaid through the district’s general taxation revenue, but will not result in a tax increase.

“If we decide to make it a park, or however Main Street develops, councils in

the future can decide what they wish to do with it,” said Rysz.

District suggests sewer financing options

Sicamous property owners seeking an ex-tension to the Novem-ber sewer connection deadline may receive some good and bad news.

At its Wednesday meeting, council re-ceived two more letters from property owners asking for deadline ex-tensions and both were denied.

Community planner Mike Marrs con� rmed those who do not con-nect will still have to pay the annual � at rate paid by those without a water meter of $467.

“I think the only thing we can do, le-gally, is charge them that $467 if they don’t connect,” commented Coun. Jeff Mallmes. “I think they send a let-ter in, we can send a letter back, which we can send to all of them, and say the deadline is Nov. 30, and you’re supposed to hook up by then, and if you don’t

you’re going to pay this anyway. It’s not like they’re getting off scot free.”

After further discus-sion, council did agree to have staff draft let-ters, though not just to say requests had been denied. They will also provide information on how property owners can commit to connect-ing without immediate-ly facing the full � nan-cial burden.

Coun. Malcolm Makayev noted hook-up fees can be spread over a three-year pe-riod. In addition, he said people can meet the Nov. 30 deadline by submitting an applica-tion, and still have six months after to com-plete the connection. Community planner Mike Marrs con� rmed this, explaining it was an option staff was go-ing to present to coun-cil.

“That permit is good for six months in the in-terim, so it would give an opportunity to at least make a commit-

ment to doing it,” said Marrs.

This approach, Marrs explained, would also help local plumb-ers and subcontractors, who are currently over-booked working for those trying to meet the November connection deadline.

“I’m certain by the time we get into the spring, there will be some areas in the com-munity where high wa-ter will be hitting again and we can deal with that… at staff level and actually grant them a three-month extension or something for the summer,” said Marrs. “At least we’d have the � nancial commitment and the necessary per-mit.”

Prior to discussing the letters, council re-ceived a presentation by Interior Health health of� cer Clare Audet, who discussed land-use planning, drinking water and onsite sew-age. In her presenta-tion, Audet explained how Sicamous is on an

uncon� ned aquifer, and stressed how potential risks/contaminants to that water source can be better mitigated with a community sewer system.

“It is an education process, and some of the residents of Si-camous that I spoke to, they just neglected to even think about it this summer and now it has come the time, they say why do we have to hook up,” commented Coun. Gord Bushell. “Most of them don’t understand – the en-vironment. That’s the reason we got the grant funding, it’s that we’re on a � ood plain and we don’t want to saturate

our groundwater with sewage.”

Bushell asked if fur-ther advertising could be done. Marrs, howev-er, said plenty has been done already to inform people of the hookup date and the reasons for it.

“We’ve had a couple of our planning forums in which we talked about sewer connec-tions and deadlines, and we’ve had three extensions and they’ve been all advertised. So, you know, pardon me, but there’s no excuse

for not knowing that this is coming upon us, and I believe it’s critical to our environment get-ting it done as soon as possible,” said Marrs.

A requested down-zoning to permit a campground near Si-camous’ town centre has been denied by dis-trict council.

A memo by Dis-trict of Sicamous com-munity planner Mike Marrs states applicants Howard Yakimishyn and Christopher Blow-er were seeking to re-zone property at 222 Temple Street from R5 Medium Density to C3 Resort Commer-cial. The purpose of the zoning amendment was to construct a 26 to 30 unit fully serviced campsite facility, with sites that could accom-modate a variety of RV and tent structures. A small playground, rest-room and shower facil-ities are included in the development proposal.

The memo states staff is opposed to the application to “down zone” the property as it con� icts with the dis-trict’s of� cial commu-nity plan (OCP), which

“encourages a variety of higher density resi-dential development in close proximity to the Town Centre, as op-posed to a “short-term accommodation, high-turnover-type develop-ment.

Marrs notes how the Temple Street property has been rezoned to ac-commodate multi-fam-ily development, a 50-unit structure for which the district would have collected $316,650 in development cost charges. With the 30-site campground, he says, the district would collect $69,870. Marrs also says approval of the campground could result in a reduced tax base – $21,300 in gen-eral taxation, as op-posed to the $93,700 that would have been collected from a 50 unit townhouse complex.

“In addition to in-creased taxation rev-enue, there would be an estimated $46,100 extra collected in utilities per year if the downzoning did not

occur and a 50-unit townhouse were con-structed,” writes Marrs.

Coun. Macolm Makayev said he agreed with staff rec-ommendation to op-pose the project, saying he thought the district

should get better value out of the property than a potential seasonal op-eration.

“ We’re trying to get away from seasonal – we’re trying to diver-sify our economy,” said Makayev.

Council votes against campground concept

Sicamous RCMP say a man driving on Trans-Canada Highway stuck to his instinct when he smelled smoke and pulled over.

The man luckily managed to get out of his vehicle before it ignited in � ames.

Const. Patrick Pyper says the man pulled over about half a kilometre east of Bernie Road on the Trans-Canada Highway between Salmon Arm and Sicamous around 8 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14.

It hasn’t been determined what caused the car to � are up, but police suspect it was some-thing to do with a faulty ignition, or another electrical problem in the vehicle.

Cancer survivor chosen to play Terry Fox

When he was 16, Jared Huumonen lost his leg to the same kind of cancer that claimed the life of Canadian hero Terry Fox.

Little did he know that years later, Huu-monen would be asked to portray Fox during a History Moment televi-sion clip.

Jared, whose par-ents, Shirley and Tapio live in Sicamous, will be featured in the one-minute clip which will be running on various networks in tribute to the 35th anniversary of Terry’s remarkable journey across Canada. The clips began airing Tuesday, Sept 15 on Bell Media channels, including CTV, Much, MTV, TSN and Com-edy. Then other broad-casters will start airing it, including CBC, the History channel and Shaw networks in Vic-toria and Vancouver.

Huumonen was re-cruited to play Terry Fox through the com-pany which makes his prosthetic leg. The production company, Historica Canada, was looking for someone who might be suitable and although, at 37, Huumonen is older than Terry Fox, his height and build is sim-ilar. With the addition of a curly wig, some short-shorts and a spe-cially made prosthetic leg designed to look like the one Terry Fox wore, Huumonen was nearly ready to � lm.

First, Hummonen needed some hair bleach for his arms and

legs, as his dark hair was not compatible with Terry’s. Then, he needed special lessons in learning to run like Terry Fox.

“This was a chal-lenge, because pros-thetics have come so far since then. Jared now has what we call a super-bionic leg that he would use for run-ning, but back then things were much more cumbersome, resulting in that distinctive gait Terry had. And they

studied a lot of � lms and he worked a lot on a track to get they way Terry held his arms just right,” says Huu-monen’s mother Shir-ley. “Jared told me the worst part was wearing the wig because it was so hot as he was run-ning.”

But Shirley says be-ing asked to play Terry Fox was such an hon-our for Jared, who al-ways looked to Terry as a hero, especially after surviving the same type of cancer, osteogenic sarcoma.

“We were two years with Jared at Children’s Hospital and in Ronald McDonald House with

treatments. We were very lucky Jared’s can-cer did not spread like Terry’s did.”

With her voice wa-vering, Shirley spoke of how proud it was for her family to see Jared out running as Terry.

“What Terry did, and is still doing to help those � ghting can-cer. To see Jared out there…” she says. “It still just chokes me up every time.”

While there is not a

Terry Fox Run in Si-camous, Shirely says she hopes to get one started as soon as next year. And she will make sure Jared attends.

Shirley is looking forward to the school Terry Fox Run at Parkview Elementary on Thursday and hopes students there will see the TV clip and learn about the hometown connection.

Shirley is also anx-ious for people to sup-

port the Terry Fox Run in Salmon Arm, which takes place at Black-burn Park on Sunday, Sept. 20. at 10 a.m.

There will be two-, four- and 10-kilometre distances.

To register, visit www.terryfox.org and registrations will also be taken in advance of the run. Registration will open at 8 a.m.

The run is suitable for bikes, wheelchairs/strollers and roller-blades. Dogs on leash are welcome.

“I am tired of managing poverty.”

The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Min-ister John Rustad and Pre-mier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.

In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic develop-ment and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years.

“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communi-ties,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight pov-erty is to grow the econo-my.”

Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natu-ral gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.

That and similar propos-als require new gas pipe-

lines. And as is custom-ary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims re-garding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.

There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phil-lip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed pre-vious false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years.

Media jumped at the prospect of another Gus-tafson Lake-style confron-tation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP.

“To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that po-

lice are not taking sides or acting as security for pipe-line exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident mem-bers of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that rep-resents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their commu-nities.

“Our Nations support responsible resource devel-opment as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.

Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working to-wards gas-related develop-ment as long as anyone.

Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest

job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Na-tions mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations mem-ber takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” af-ter decades of resource de-velopment that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Na-tions along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and mis-guided protesters.

Canada needs to accept refugees

OpiniOn

Canada has an admirable record when it comes to admitting refugees in times of cri-sis.

In 1956 and 1957, when Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary to crush a popular uprising, thousands fled the country. More than 30,000 of them had been admitted to Canada by the end of 1957.

In 1975 and ’76, and again in 1979 and ’80, refugees from Vietnam flooded out of that country; we took in more than 5,600 from the first wave and an astonishing 50,000 from the second.

Now the federal government is sticking to its guns: refugees from war-torn Syria and Iraq will be limited to 20,000 in total, spread out over several years. The NDP and Liberals have both advanced plans that are consider-ably more expansive.

We have seen Canada absorb more people in years past, when we had a smaller popu-lation to welcome them. Despite economic setbacks, Canada today is wealthier than it was in 1956 or 1979. Our national mosaic includes communities from virtually every nation around the world – there are already Iraqi-Canadians and Syrian-Canadians here who can help the newcomers, to say nothing of the many towns, churches, families, and individuals who will willingly give a hand if the numbers are increased.

The Syrian crisis has been going on for years now. The recent photo of drowned tod-dler Alan Kurdi has drawn more attention to the issue than hundreds of stories about the plight of the refugees.

Canada has always been involved in the wider world.

We can argue about what forms our in-tervention should take, but accepting more refugees should be an immediate priority, regardless of political posturing.

In a wild and rough start to the season the Sicamous Eagles pre-vailed 3-2 over their ri-vals from Revelstoke on Friday night.

“It was a great game for both teams,” said Wayne March, Eagles general manager.

“Both teams are young, and it was a bat-tle right to the end.”

The Eagles got off to a dream start just 34 sec-onds into the 2015/16 season, when Nathan Plessis finished off a brilliant passing display by William Mizuik and Bradley Whitehead.

However, the Griz-zlies showed their teeth only a minute later, when Kaden Black scored an equalizer, with the assist coming

from Nii Noi Tetteh.The quick pace of the

game continued as both teams traded scoring chances.

At the eight minute mark emotions of the season opener boiled over as the Eagles’ Darien Blight and the Grizzlies’ Kyle Baron squared off in a fight, which resulted in both players being tossed from the game.

After the fight, penal-ties were commonplace as each team racked up 14 penalties between them.

“I think opening night nerves got the bet-ter of some of the play-ers,” said March.

A powerplay goal by Danny O’Donnell gave the Eagles a single goal lead after one period of play, and mid way

through the second peri-od Tyler Collens scored what would be the game’s eventual winner.

On Saturday evening the Eagles hosted the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, and were bested 7-3. With the additions of Alex Astasiewicz and

Landon Fuller, both of whom have WHL pedi-grees, anchoring the blue line, March is al-ready confident his team will reach the playoffs.

The Eagles host the Princeton at the Rec Centre on Saturday at 7 p.m.

An almost devastat-ing experience ulti-mately solidified Cindy Derkaz’s direction in life.

It was 1967 and flames engulfed the his-toric Montebello Hotel in Salmon Arm. The inferno spread to other adjacent businesses, in-cluding Derkaz Shoes, owned by the then 11-year-old’s parents, Walter and Betty.

“The store was sub-stantially burned,” said Derkaz, the North Okanagan-Shuswap Liberal candidate.

“The bank manager called the next morn-ing and said the line of credit was cancelled be-cause there was no busi-ness and then there was a call that there would be no insurance.”

Her parents were left wondering how they would put food on the table, but the tide turned when Walter contacted Vernon lawyer Neil Davidson. Within days, all financial activity had been restored.

“I decided then that I wanted to be a lawyer to help people with their problems,” said Derkaz.

Born in Ontario, she moved to the Shuswap in 1958 at age three. Her dad ran the Con-sumers Co-Operative but he branched out and opened a shoe store in 1958. Ten years later, a store was added in Vernon, where Derkaz worked shifts during summer holidays.

Derkaz, 59, was fo-cused even at an early age.

“I was horse crazy from the time I could walk and I was deter-mined to have a horse at age nine,” she said.

Trying to encourage this equine passion, her parents sent her to live with a Notch Hill fam-

ily for the summer. She was barely on site when she negotiated terms to purchase a horse for $150 (half of the money from her and half from her dad).

Derkaz graduated from Salmon Arm Se-nior High in 1972 at age 16, and immediately went off to law school in Vancouver. Completing her law degree in 1978, she articled in Salmon Arm, joined a law firm and eventually opened her own practice.

She sold the firm in 1991 and retired as a lawyer in 1996 so she could be more involved in the community.

“I grew up as an only child and had the sense that you need to give back to the community. I was the nerdy chair of the (high school) year book club,” she said.

Derkaz has also been involved in literacy pro-grams and the film so-ciety, but her proudest achievement is helping found the successful Shuswap Community Foundation, which uses endowments to support local charities.

Another passion is running, which she of-ten does with her hus-band of 26 years, Don Derby.

“It’s ironic because I was always the last to be chosen for sports in school,” she said.

Derkaz has accom-plished half-marathons and she believes run-ning has provided her with some basic skills to prepare her for being an MP in Ottawa.

“I’ve learned to be on the ground and no-tice the small changes. When you are running a route, you notice chang-es in the seasons and in people. In some ways, it takes the same focus (to run for office). You need the skills of concentrat-ing and observing, set-

ting a goal and accom-plishing it.”

While she was busy with her volunteer du-ties, Derkaz found it important to put all of that on hold and enter the political fray.

“Over the last five years I watched the direction Canada was taking under the Harper government and I real-ized that if you don’t

like what you see, you need to get active,” she said.

“I was concerned about our democracy and economy. There’s a problem with the wealthy getting wealth-ier and leaving the rest behind.”

- This is the first in a series of four profiles which will feature the election candidates in

the North Okanagan-Shuswap riding.

Shopping locally employs your neighbors, reducing their carbon footprints as well. Another bene� t to shopping locally that’s often overlooked is the impact it can have on your neighbors’ carbon footprint. Local businesses often employ members of the community, which translates to shorter commutes, less highway congestion and less fuel consumption. So while shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint, it’s also helping members of your community reduce their own potentially negative impact on the environment.

Hard work and determination will pay off for Shea Weber in February when he suits up in the red and whites of Team Canada.

The 24-year-old Sicamous product was tagged last month to represent the nation in the 2010 Olympic Games. It’s a goal Weber had been working towards, and an opportu-nity he’s proud to be part of.

“The Olympics are a very special event, not only for hockey but for winter sports and to be able to play for your country and compete for a medal is kind of neat,” says Weber.

The 6’4”, 234 lb. Nashville Predators defenceman will be sporting the maple leaf with other big names in hockey like Scott

Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks), Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks), Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers) and Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Pen-guins).

Apart from a camp held last summer, We-ber guesses the team may have a couple of days to gel in February before hitting the ice in Whistler, and he’s interest-ed in seeing how everyone fi ts. But Weber’s mom and dad, Tracy and James, don’t ex-pect Shea will have any problems.

“Whatever they want him to do, he’ll do it,” said James. “He’s a team-fi rst guy, he’s not a selfi sh player at all.”

Both parents share what could be described as a subdued excite-ment for their son and the hon-our that’s been bestowed up on him.

“Shea phoned home and said ‘I’ve been chosen

to play in the Olympics, and I said ‘okay,’” Tracy commented, explaining it’s kind of a family trait not to overreact – one that Shea

shares. But she and James who, with Shea,share roots in Sicamous minor hockey, are defi nitely excited, and are hoping to attendat least one of their son’s games.

Sicamous Eagles manager Wayne Marchis also pretty excited by the news that Shea, an Eagle alumni, will be playing forhis community and country at the Games.March says Shea has been totally focusedthroughout his career on what he wanted todo: make it to the NHL. In the process, Sheahelped the Eagles win the KIJHL West-ern Canadians in 2001-02; he helped takethe Kelowna Rockets to three consecutiveWHL Memorial Cup championship games,including the win in 2004; and, after signingwith Nashville in 2004, he helped the Ca-

A Two Mile par-ent has garnered some political support in her effort to get her chil-dren safely to and from school.

On Wednesday, District of Sicamous council and staff re-ceived a request from Melissa Fallis, who is in the process of ap-pealing a school bus route change that re-quires her daughters, ages six and eight, to cross Highway 97A to catch the school bus. In an email to council, Fallis says her eight-year-old daughter suffers from epileptic seizures, and can black out at any time for up to 30 seconds, adding to her concern for her kids having to cross the highway.

School District #83

has stated the Two Mile school bus stop is con-sidered a courtesy, as it is technically within walking distance ac-cording to school dis-trict policy.

To be eligible for regular transportation to and from school, students in kindergar-

ten to Grade 3 must live four kilometres or more from the nearest school, while students in grades four to 12 must live more than 4.8 kilometres away.

Fallis’ residence is 3.9 kilometres away.

Fallis is contest-ing this policy, argu-ing there be an appeals process for parents of students whose “re-quired walking route to school poses a threat to their safety,” and that bus transportation be provided for routes de-termined to be unsafe.

Council unani-mously supported a resolution to have staff review the policy change request pro-vided by Fallis to see if district support can be provided.

“I don’t know if any of you have tried to cross Highway 97, but I work there and try to cross that high-way quite a bit and it’s insane, and it’s danger-ous, and there’s no way we should be sending little kids across that

highway,” commented Coun. Colleen Ander-son.

In addition, district community planner Mike Marrs said he would also bring the matter up in discus-sions with the Minis-try of Highways and Transportation regard-ing traf� c studies being done in the Two Mile area, adding staff will be talking to the minis-try about interconnec-tivity across the high-way and speed limits through the area.

“I’m sure they will be concerned about this this issue as well,” said Marrs.

Fallis is grateful council is willing to offer support, and was also pleased to learn about the traf� c stud-ies and that the post-ed speed limits may change.
