Streich, who has been practic- ing almost 20 years, 17 of which have been spent in Castlegar, received the prestigious award at a special awards banquet held in Quebec City May 11. “I was very honored and flat- tered when I heard that I'd been elected. It's a recognition of con- tributions academically and with community service both locally and provincially.” The award is given to physi- cians who have demonstrated excellence and commitment towards their patients, communi- ty and and who pi 10 years, Streich has also been actively involved in the ever- changing role of health care in the Kootenays—specifically the New Directions mandate. He is also Chief of Staff at Castlegar Hospital, as well a pres- ident-elect for the B.C. College of Family Practitioners. Streich estimates that on occa- sion he spends 15-20 hours a week sitting on committees whose mandate is to maintain quality health care locally and provincially. All that from a doctor who had only planned on staying in Castlegar for a few months. “I came for six months—that was 17 years ago,” said Streich with a smile. Streich believes that health care is changing. He also believes that these days physicians are pro- active—not just reactive—when health high standards of medical educa- tion and care in family practice A member of the College for id he couldn't be happier with the change. “| resent the fact ge Fp dese have been rel «May 16- Born to Armand & Elizabeth Plouffe - .. ¢ May 20- Born to André VanHoorn & Rebecca Chernoff - .... ¢ May 23- Born to Frank & Ursula Bilinski - * May 28- Born to Joe & Suzy Chernoff -...

I’m glad that the focus is tum- ing to wellness and prevention.” But Streich isn’t one to stand in the limelight soaking up acco- lades. Deflecting the praise onto fellow physicians instead, Streich spoke of the high quality of medi- cal care available in Castlegar. “My colleagues have kept cur- rent and have good skills. They serve the community well.” It’s the four principles of fami- ly medicine which Streich is committed to, which earned him the award. The principles include: the family physicians must be a skilled clinician; the doctor- patient relationship is central to the role of the family physician; family medicine is a community based disciple; and the family physician is a resource to a defined practice population. He also believes that the issue of quality health care, while always important, will become even more so as Castlegar strug- gles with its growing pains. “There is a continuous growth in my practice. There's no question about it, the patient load is increas- ing.

School Sports High School Golf Championships held last week in Castlegar was par for the course It all started last Tuesday when 110 golfers from 22 B.C. schools took to the Castlegar and District Golf Course for the first round of the two round tournament. At the end of the day South Delta High School led all teams with a total (cam score of 312. Stanley Humphries’-unofficial result had them tied for first thanks to a first round score of 71 from SHSS captain Shaun Creighton. Creigton’s score tied him for best round overall with Mike ZuccOlin of Centennial High School and Riley Tough of South Delta. However, a scorecard mix-up led to Creighton’s disqualifica- tion and a sudden plummet for the SHSS team to eleventh place in the standings. The disqualification came as a shock to both Creighton and his team but they managed to regain their composure for the second round held after a shotgun start on Wednesday. Marty Carew was the best SHSS player on the day as he fol- lowed up his first day score of 76 with another solid performance and a score of 77.

Slo-pitch teams from all over the Kootenay region found their way to a variety of diamonds scattered around town for the annual Slo-pitch tourna- ment while the Legion continued their own Sunfest tradition with a Dart and Crib tournament. The Slo-pitch tournament tain Larry Kucher whose team was playing in its fifth straight Sunfest Slo-pitch tournament “It’s been a not bad tourna- ment. No lack of competition, that's for sure.” “Good tournament, well run and it’s nice to have good umps,” said Savoy team repre- sentative Randy Wayling. “The umps did a good job being out here in the hot sun all weekend.” The “B” side was won by perennial Slo-pitch super power Castlegar Pressure Wash who handily defeated the Bashers in d 16 teams i ing two the final. from Trail and one each from Cre- ston, Kaslo and Nelson. Games started Saturday morning and it was Clear from the outset that Nel- son Savoy was the team to beat. Savoy picked up four straight victories over Plested Exteriors, Castlegar Pressure Wash, the Kaslo Screeners and Ruffy’s from Trail to make it to the “A” final. Their opponent in the final was Ruffy’s who had a more dif- ficult road to the final. Ruffy’s started off with three wins over the Blueberry Creek Hysterical Society, Castlegar Pressure Wash and Dexter’s/Bonnets on Saturday before losing to Savoy in their first game Sunday. They fol- lowed up that loss with a victory over the Kaslo Screeners to make the final. The game turned out to be one of the best defensive battles of the weekend as both teams showed impressive clutch defence. Ruffy’s jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning and then supplemented it with another in the second after a solo home run. However, they also left the bases loaded in the second and then were held off the scoreboard through the next two frames. Unfortunately, Savoy was not able to capitalize as they were foiled at every turn by good catches both in centerfield and on the mound. Their lone run came in the third inning after a lead-off triple followed by a bloop single Ruffy’s added insurance runs in the fifth and seventh innings to help hold on to their 4-1 victo- ry, which was all the more sweet considering Savoy had beaten then 8-7 in their earlier game Both teams had high praise for the tournament organizers “We like coming out to Castlegar,” said Ruffy’s cap- The smart people on Sunday were hiding over at the Legion basement where it was cool. There were plenty of refresh- ments on hand for the competi- tors in the annual Sunfest Legion Dart and Crib Tournament and they made the most of it throughout the afternoon. The eventual winner of the dart portion was Pat Quinn fol- lowed closely by Dean McDon- ald and Chris Knight. Quinn also picked up the high score on the day for a three shot set that registered. 140. Women’s high score went to Dot Byrne with a score of 117. Byrne and partner Glenda Hunter wor the doubles compe- tition while Priscilla Quinn and Chris Knight came in second. This was thé first year crib was added to the Legion Sunfest activities and 12 players were out to peg around. Bernice Scott took the first place trophy while Blaine Sorley finished right behind her. Legion Sports Officer Dot Byrne said adding crib to the annual festivities was only natu- ral since both sports are played regularly at the Legion on Sun-+ day nights. She hopes the new tradition will continue next year. at. xenaactan Pal The age of chivalry! Chris Knight (above) isn’t a real knight he just likes the tradition of dueling darts at the Legion.
