IH motorhome hits city streets today

CARVING INTO HISTORY

Sa-Hali secondary social studies teacher Mike Kippes (left) and Grade 9 student Jacob Haines (far right) learn to build a cottonwood dugout canoe with hand tools outside the main entrance to the school. The travelling work in progress is touring area schools, giving students an opportunity to learn from aboriginal education worker Shane Camille (second from left) and canoe carver Frank Marchand. The project is in its fifth week in local schools, with a deadline for completion and display on June 21, marking National Aboriginal Day, summer solstice and the 25th anniversary of Quaaout Lodge, which will become the canoe’s permanent home.

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A refurbished motorhome that will eventually provide a place for people to safely take drugs hits the streets today. Rae Samson, administrator for mental heath and substance abuse services for Interior Health West, told KTW the 30-foot-long retrofitted RV will park behind ASK Wellness’s Tranquille Road office on the North Shore from noon to 3 p.m. before moving to the parking lot of Crossroads Inn downtown at Seymour Street and Sixth Avenue from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The mobile unit will be in operation Tuesdays through Saturdays. While it is designed to eventually operate as a safe drug use site, Interior Health does not yet have permission from Health Canada to allow for that use, Samson said. In the meantime, the RV will offer overdose-prevention services. A nurse and social worker, as well as outreach workers from ASK Wellness, will be on site. “They’ll be able to provide harmreduction supplies and they’ll be able to monitor anyone who may be at risk for overdose,” Samson said. Staff can also administer Naloxone, a drug that temporarily counteracts the effects of an opiate overdose. The mobile unit is also outfitted for basic health-care services, including wound care and other treatments.

This is the RV that will be used as a supervised drug-use site in downtown Kamloops and on the North Shore.

Samson said the same services are already provided at Crossroads and ASK through overdose-prevention centres that have been running for some time, noting the RV is considered an extension of those services. She said a mobile unit already operating in Kelowna (but also awaiting Health Canada permission for drug consumption) is seeing up to 40 people per day. Samson said Interior Health is hopeful it will soon have Health Canada’s approval for consumption services. “They reviewed our application and they just requested more clarification around criminal records checks for staff that will be working on the unit and some clarification around any the disposal of any substances that could be left on the unit,” she said. Interior Health is the only health region in B.C. using a mobile model for its supervised drug-use sites, Samson said, though Health Canada has allowed fixed sites to move ahead in the Coast and Fraser health regions.

After a weekend in which photos of park benches stranded in a sea of water and soggy grass flooded social media, river levels are dropping in the Riverside Park area — at least for the moment. Tammy Robertson, emergency operations centre information officer for the city, said the North Thompson River peaked over the weekend as forecast and has begun falling. While the waters of the South Thompson River are still rising, they are mostly being offset by the decline to the north. Robertson said the city is monitoring the confluence of the two rivers three times daily and is seeing encouraging changes. “Between yesterday and this morning [Monday], we saw a ninecentimetre decrease in water levels there,” she said. “So we’re optimistic that we’re not going to have to institute any further flood protection measures, but we have everything ready and standing by should we need to do any diking that might occur due to weather events or other things.” Robertson said the section of the Rivers Trail between Riverside and Pioneer parks will remain

closed, as will boat launches at Pioneer Park, McArthur Island and Thompson Drive. While the water is on its way down for now, Dave Campbell, head of the River Forecast Centre, said there are concerns about rain in the forecast starting later this week. “There’s the potential for some more significant rain Thursday and Friday this week and, if we take that and run it through our models, we’re seeing the potential for some more rises later this week and into the weekend,” he said. Campbell said it’s possible the river could rise slightly higher than it did this past weekend, depending on how much rain falls, though the full effects may not be felt until early next week.

How can I make sure I’m getting enough vitamin C in my diet? Making sure you have a food specifically formulated for guinea pigs, such as Oxbow’s guinea pig food is the best place to start! Guinea pigs are herbivores and as such need fresh greens and foods rich in cellulose. The total amount of fresh foods daily is about one cup. You can also add Oasis Vita-Drops for guinea pigs and Oxbow Vitamin C, both of which contain stabilized vitamin C to support overall health.

Prosecutors have dropped a number of charges against a former New Zealand politician accused of murdering his Canadian wife on a B.C. vacation nearly seven years ago. Peter Beckett is charged with one count of second-degree murder in relation to the Aug. 18, 2010, death of his wife, Laura Letts. She drowned in Upper Arrow Lake near Revelstoke. Beckett had also been facing charges of counselling to commit murder and obstruction of justice relating to an alleged jailhouse plot to have a number of witnesses and police officers murdered. According to court documents, he had been accused of attempting to hire a hitman to kill

the RCMP sergeant leading the investigation into Letts’ death, as well as Letts’ parents, her cousin and a lawyer. Defence lawyer Donna Turko said she has been told by prosecutors those charges are being stayed. “Crown has advised me they are staying the charges in the conspiracy case,” Turko told KTW. “I haven’t received their formal letter yet, but Crown has informed me the charges have been stayed.” Beckett stood trial for murder last year, but a Kamloops jury was unable to return with a unanimous verdict and a mistrial was declared. He has been in custody since his arrest in August 2011. Beckett has been back in a Kamloops courtroom last week as a separate team of defence lawyers

attempt to have his murder charge stayed due to unreasonable delay. A decision last year by the Supreme Court of Canada, the Jordan decision, placed firm timelines on how long criminal procedures should take to move through the courts. Cases in superior courts in provinces, including B.C. Supreme Court, have up to 30 months to be completed, from the time

the charge is laid to the trial’s end. Trials at the provincial court level are expected to be finished within 18 months of charges being laid, but the ruling added that timeline can be extended to 30 months if there is a preliminary inquiry as part of the court proceedings. Since the Jordan decision, three accused murderers have had their charges stayed based on applications similar to the one being made by Beckett’s lawyers. Beckett’s delay hearing had been scheduled to conclude on Friday, but the Crown has said it may need more time. Beckett’s new murder trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 21 in Kelowna. His first trial was held in Kamloops, but his lawyers were successful in asking for a new venue if a second trial proceeds.

No end in sight to OD death tally THROUGH APRIL, 488 FATALITIES IN B.C., INCLUDING 13 IN KAMLOOPS The number of illicit drug deaths in B.C. continues to soar, with the province on track to shatter last year’s total of 935 such deaths. In April, the second-highest number of overdose deaths was recorded, with 136 people dying across B.C. Through the first four months of the year, there have been 488 overdose deaths in the province. In Kamloops, there have been 13 such deaths through April. In all of 2016, Kamloops recorded 41 overdose deaths. According to the BC Coroners Service, more than half of all illicit drug deaths in B.C. this year have involved people between the ages of 30 and 49. Four out of every five deaths involved males. Of note, nine in 10 illicit drug overdose deaths occurred indoors, including more than half in private residences (54.1 per cent). No deaths occurred at any supervised drug use site (InSite or the Dr. Peter Centre) or at any of drug overdose prevention sites, of which Kamloops has two, downtown and on the North Shore. “It is of great concern that, despite the harm-reduction

measures now in place and the public-safety messages issued, many people are still using illicit drugs in private residences where help is not readily available,” chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said. “I strongly urge those using illicit drugs to do so only at a safe consumption site or drug overdose prevention site, if one is accessible. If one of these sites is not accessible, please use only a small amount of the drug initially and only in the presence of someone willing and able to administer naloxone and call 911 if required. “The risks associated with all illicit drugs in the province are extreme and access to emergency medical assistance is essential to prevent fatal consequences.” Vancouver has recorded the most overdose deaths this year, at 144, followed by Surrey (51), Victoria (37), Kelowna (32), Abbotsford (21), Nanaimo (19), Burnaby (15), Kamloops (13), Langley and Richmond (12 each), New Westminster (eight) and Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and Campbell River (seven each). There were 103 overdose deaths recorded in various other communities in B.C.

The BC Coroners Service has not yet released a new report on the proportion of deaths in which fentanyl was detected as it is not yet available. It is anticipated that data will be available later this month.

Type of Drugs:

• A review of completed cases from 2015 and 2016 indicates the top four detected drugs relevant to illicit drug overdose deaths were cocaine (48.4 per cent), fentanyl (44.8 per cent), heroin (36.2 per cent) and methamphetamine/amphetamine (29.3 per cent). • Drugs tested by Health Canada indicate fentanyl and its analogues are being detected in samples of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. • Illicit fentanyl–detected deaths appear to account for the increase in illicit drug overdose deaths since 2012 as the number of illicit drug overdose deaths excluding fentanyl -detected has remained relatively stable since 2011 (average of 305 deaths per year). This data is subject to change as further analogue testing becomes available.

RCMP believe Ashley Deschamps, 34, may be in the Vernon or Kamloops areas and could be driving her 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Police seek woman reported missing Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a woman reported missing. Ashley Marie Deschamps, 34, last contacted her family on May 29 and may be in the Kamloops or Vernon areas. She may be driving her 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse with B.C. licence plate 695-MVW.

Deschamps is an aboriginal woman with long brown hair, green eyes. She stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 180 pounds. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Deschamps is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-1500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Warrant issued for former NHL player Rudy Poeschek TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A warrant has been issued for a former National Hockey League enforcer accused of breaching his probation. Rudy Poeschek had been scheduled to stand trial on Friday in Kamloops provincial court on an allegation he missed meetings with his probation officer last summer. The 50-year-old failed to appear and Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickey issued a warrant for his arrest just before 11:30 a.m. Poeschek had previously told KTW his memory is failing him and he simply forgot to

meet with his probation officer. He also said he nearly forgot to show up to an earlier court date in November. Poeschek is one of a number of former NHL players suing the league, alleging officials knew of the dangers posed by repeated head injuries and concussions. In a series published in KTW in 2015, a Boston-based neurosurgeon suggested Poeschek may be suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a chronic brain disease found to have afflicted many former hockey and football players. Robert Cantu described CTE as

being similar to Alzheimer’s disease. “It’s essentially caused by rattling your brain around in your head — a lot,” he told KTW. CTE played a role in a lawsuit filed by former NFL players against that league. In that case, the two sides reached a settlement in 2015 believed to have been worth more than USD$1 billion. Poeschek was an enforcer in the NHL over parts of 12 seasons. He was selected by the New York Rangers in the 12th round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft while playing junior hockey in his hometown of Kamloops.

After a playing career that ended in 2001, Poeschek was arrested eight times while living in Tampa, Fla., culminating in a March 13, 2005, demolition derby that landed him behind bars. He moved with his family to Kamloops after his release from a Florida jail. Poeschek was on probation last summer as part of a sentence he received after pleading guilty to a string of criminal charges — one count of assault and three of driving while prohibited — in 2015. He was jailed for 45 days and placed on an 18-month probation term.

Former city man gets 15 years A former Kamloops resident has been sentenced to 15 years in prison in Saskatchewan after beating an elderly man to death with his own cane.

OPIOID CRISIS CONTINUES

he impact of the opioid crisis can be seen with disturbing clarity on any day. But while that evidence elicits a mixture of anger, empathy and, above all, frustration, it’s failed to stop the carnage. Overdose deaths continue to climb across B.C. Despite the declaration of a health emergency a year ago, the number of people dying from drug overdoses increased 50 per cent in the first quarter of this year. On average, four people a day are dying in B.C. Through April, 488 people have died from overdoses in the province, 13 of those in Kamloops. But those deaths are only part of the story. For every overdose, there are thousands of people whose lives are at risk because of their addiction. The reasons for this crisis are complex. But one factor that fails to get sufficient attention is the availability of opioids. We are simply awash with narcotics that have been manufactured for commercial use. They are not made in clandestine drug labs, smuggled from the jungles of Central America or brought from the plains of Afghanistan. They are made right here in North America or imported from other manufacturers overseas. Their intent is to ease pain in those who are suffering. However, their availability is out of control. The federal government recently attempted to address that issue by creating a special panel tasked with developing new guidelines for physicians prescribing opioids. But that effort hit a snag when it was discovered one member of that panel had financial ties with one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Canada. Health Minister Jane Philpott has since ordered an independent scientific review of those guidelines. In the meantime, first responders continue to deal with this oversaturation of opioids, made even worse by the taint of fentanyl.

Plot thickens in Victoria

he sudden instability of the minority provincial government has generated interest in the ancient machinery of the B.C. legislature, its roots deep in British parliamentary tradition. It’s shaping up like a lost seventh season of Downton Abbey, where the servant class finally takes over upstairs. Christy Clark, the Duchess of Dunbar, might have to don the apron of opposition leader. The coming weeks will be a liveaction drama on how the B.C. government works — or doesn’t work. I had a mix of responses to last week’s column, which described how Clark’s B.C. Liberals technically won the election and remain the government. By the second half of June, this will be demonstrated and the people who said I was (to put it politely) wrong will have a chance to learn more about the process now underway. The latest crop of 87 MLAs will be sworn in by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. Clark’s temporary cabinet will then swear their oaths of office and the stage will be set to convene the legislature and present a speech from the throne. But before that or any other business can be conducted, MLAs must elect a Speaker from among their ranks in a secretballot vote, just like the one that citizens cast in the May 9 election. Since the tradition is that the Speaker only votes in cases of

Our Man In

VICTORIA a tie, and then only to uphold the current government or to continue debate, the selection of Speaker is critical in a case where a single vote can spell defeat for either side. The Liberals will have to provide a Speaker before they can present their throne speech, on which Clark expects to lose a vote after a few days of required debate. That Speaker would then resign to force the B.C. NDP-B.C. Green alliance to appoint their own. That individual has to come out of their 44 MLAs before they can send 43 Liberals to the opposition side. Clark had the option to resign as premier once the two opposition parties signed an agreement to vote down the government’s throne speech or budget, with the three Green MLAs supporting a new NDP government on money bills and other confidence votes. But “the lady’s not for turning,” as British prime minister Margaret Thatcher once said of herself. And Clark insisted her government be defeated in the

traditional way, in the “people’s house,” not in a “backroom deal.” Speaking of backroom deals and palace intrigue, the Province of B.C., a $50-billion-a-year operation, runs out of money in September. Clark’s move delays the NDP’s access to the transition information it needs in order to prepare its own budget. The NDP could get spending warrants signed off by the lieutenant-governor, but that never looks good. Sort of like going to one of those payday lenders. Green Leader Andrew Weaver, so pleased with himself he can barely contain it, may soon lose some of his enthusiasm. He and NDP Leader John Horgan arranged a media turn to present their letter of agreement to Government House, where everyone seemed disappointed Guichon didn’t come to the door personally to collect the mail. Weaver was emphatic that his deal with Horgan is not a “coalition,” adding he won’t be Minister of Environment. So, this is an NDP government, period. Their deal talks about consultation and “no surprises,” but here’s one problem: legal advice to the government can’t be shared with outsiders. Solicitorclient privilege and all that. It’s an upstairs thing. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SIMPSONS GRATEFUL Editor: The family of Jessie Simpson would like to thank the community for its generosity, in particular at a fundraiser held in late May at the Savona Hotel. Murphy’s Meats, Arigato Sushi Aberdeen, Quaaout Lodge, Doubletree by Hilton Hotel and TD Canada Trust were all very supportive. Also, Rogers Rentals, Hoja Grill, Mr. Mike’s, Earls, Denny’s, Kelly O’Brien’s, Save-On Foods, Safeway, Savona Enterprises, KMS Tools, Rowmac Orthopedics and Starbucks, as well as all three General Grants locations helped out, along with too many people to list here. We appreciate your generosity and donations are still being accepted at any TD Canada Trust, using transit number 07900 and account number 6496246. Susana Simpson Savona Editor’s note: Jessie Simpson is the Savona teen who was severely beaten in June 2016. He remains in hospital.

RECYCLING DECISION BOGGLES MIND Editor: I just cannot shake this recycling fiasco from my head. I’m still trying to understand how Kamloops council could have allowed this new recycling program to happen. Per KTW’s online poll (“What have you been doing with glass and soft plastics since changes to the recycling program?”), the majority of people are going to throw recyclables, not recycled under this new program into the trash. This is mainly glass and soft plastics. This will quickly fill our landfills and make Kamloops the backward city that does not recycle. Just over a year ago, city council decided to ban the cosmetic use of pesticides/herbicides and one of the reasons given was environmental. In addition, the proposed Ajax

mine has been opposed for environmental reasons. However, council is now leaving it up to the individuals’ conscious and wherewithal to recycle these items themselves? Those who are committed will find a way, but the rest of the city populace will do what is convenient. Many people do not have access to vehicles to bring their additional recycling items to a depot. We want to put Kamloops on the map for being a leader in environmental and sustainability initiatives, but in this instance, where are council’s environmental standards and ideals? Clouded by dollar signs, I guess. These kinds of actions show our council is ignorant and misguided. There’s no reason Kamloops

shouldn’t be a leader in sustainability and environmental issues. We need a recycling program that makes it more convenient for residents to recycle and a program that demonstrates our city’s and council’s commitment to the environment. This really has put us a step behind. This quote from John Assaraf says it all: “If you’re interested, you’ll do what’s convenient; if you’re committed, you’ll do whatever it takes.” If council was really committed to the environment, it would do what it takes and invest where it counts. Here’s to 2018, when we can get some fresh faces on council who will hopefully act on the best interests of the city and its residents. Darrell Collins Kamloops

A MELODY OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION Editor: There are so many worthy citizens of Kamloops who donate their valuable time and labour making our city a place we can be proud of — and I thank them all. There is one person, however, I would like to focus on and feel she should be recognized for a long and dedicated service as manager of St. Andrews on the Square: Melody Formanski. Without her, we would be without this beautiful

and beneficial facility that holds so many functions. It has become the centre and the heart of downtown Kamloops. It is because two people had a dream in 1996: Keith Lowrie and Melody. Unlike so many who just talk, they did something about it. They volunteered and worked first on the outside of the former Gaglardi church and, with some extra volunteer labour, restored it to its original St. Andrews Church.

They then turned their efforts to the huge task of refinishing the interior. That was more than 20 years ago and, although Melody now receives a wage, it probably does not cover all the hours she puts in. The City of Kamloops owns the building at Seymour Street and Second Avenue, but the Kamloops Heritage Society runs it. After all these years, some upgrading is required. The floor needs refinish-

ing, the wallpaper needs attention and the bathrooms require upgrading. Once again, Melody is looking for volunteers to help with labour and materials. Of course, she will be right there giving her own experienced volunteer extra time. Thank you very much, Melody, from all of your very grateful citizens for your kind and continuing great special service. Joan Sabo Kamloops

DNA found on a cigarette butt and video evidence from the scene of the crime weren’t enough to convict a 33-year-old Kamloops man of robbing a South Shore gas station of two fivedollar bills and a half carton of cigarettes. Terence Abraham was acquitted Friday afternoon in B.C. Supreme Court of both robbery and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose dating back to a holdup at the Petro-Canada Station at the corner of 10th Avenue and Victoria Street on Feb. 8, 2016. In delivering her verdict, Justice Hope Hyslop said Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan’s case was based on circumstantial evidence, too much of which could be attributed to other causes. “On all of the evidence, I cannot say,

beyond a reasonable doubt, that Mr. Abraham committed the offences,” she said. Abraham was arrested in connection with the robbery after his DNA was found on a cigarette butt in the parking lot outside the gas station. On security camera footage, the robber was seen smoking and flicking a cigarette before entering the building at around 9 p.m. Upon entering the gas station, the bandit walked up to the counter and asked for a plastic bag, setting it on the countertop. He then told the cashier he had a weapon and ordered her to empty the register, which contained only two five-dollar bills. After learning the cashier was unable to open the safe, the robber demanded cigarettes and was given a partial carton before leaving. Neither the cashier nor security footage got a clear look at the

person committing the crime. The cashier testified she saw dark eyes, with dark skin surrounding them, and heard a deep voice. She told Mounties she believed the thief was aboriginal. In a search of the area, Kamloops Mounties came upon what they described as a “fresh” cigarette butt, which was later found to have Abraham’s DNA on it. But camera footage did not show where the robber dropped his butt and Abraham was known to frequent the parking lot, walking often between a nearby house at which he was

staying and a bus stop. A glove, a black jacket and a backpack were also found in a nearby alleyway. Abraham said the glove and backpack likely belonged to him — they had his DNA on them — but that the items had been lost to him after his girlfriend had thrown him out earlier that year. The backpack also contained items Abraham couldn’t identify. “The question is, what are the chances all these items, including the cigarette with DNA on it, point to anyone else other than Mr. Abraham being the robber?” Hyslop asked. In her verdict, Hyslop agreed with defence lawyer Sheldon Tate that it was equally likely the person who picked up Abraham’s backpack committed the offence and that the butt was in the parking lot from one of the 33-year-old’s frequent treks through it, during which he said he often put out his cigarettes on the pavement. The cigarette butt was not found in the immediate vicinity of where the robber was standing on security footage and investigating RCMP admitted during testimony that they could not say the cigarette they picked up was the same one possessed by the robber.

Logging foes appeal to Ottawa CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While logging is beginning in the Upper Clearwater Valley, residents concerned about potential flood damage and threats to mountain caribou are awaiting an appeal to the federal government and a change in the legislature in Victoria. Trevor Goward, a scientist and one of the community leaders opposed to logging by Canfor, said the legal application to block clearcut logging under the Species at Risk Act in the Upper Clearwater Valley is in front of federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna.

Mountain caribou in the North Thompson is at risk of extirpation. “The Canadian Wildlife Service [under the Environment Ministry] wrote and said they’re reviewing it they will make a recommendation to the minister,” Goward said. Residents and outside scientists have made a 68-page legal application to halt logging. Goward said Canfor has started logging on the west side of the river, a less contentious location. The company has approval from the province for one cutblock thus far, though Goward noted provincial laws allow little or no leeway by bureaucrats

or politicians to stop logging if companies meet the act. Canfor has refused comment on the issue, other than to send a letter to defend its actions. While it has conducted studies, the company has refused to let residents obtain copies, allowing viewing only in its office in Vavenby. Goward said residents and the society asking for a halt to logging have renewed hope in the pending NDP-Green government. He said there is “rot” in the system, noting Canfor has donated more than $800,000 to the B.C. Liberal party. The proposed NDP-Green pact has vowed to ban corporate and union political donations.

Condolences pour in for B.C. woman killed in London attack CHRISTINE ARCHIBALD, 30, FROM CASTLEGAR ONE OF SEVEN KILLED SATURDAY NIGHT STEVE HENNIGAR

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Messages of sorrow and condolence have been pouring in following the death of a Canadian woman who was killed in Saturday’s terror attack in the heart of London. Christine Archibald, 30, was enjoying a warm spring night with her fiance, Tyler Ferguson, when she was struck by a speeding van that plowed into people strolling on London Bridge. Archibald was a social worker who worked with homeless people before moving to Europe to be with her fiance. Archibald’s family, who live in Castlegar, B.C., released a statement Sunday through the Canadian government. “She had room in her heart for everyone and believed strongly that every person was to be valued and respected,’’ the statement said. “She would have had no understanding of the callous cruelty that caused her iMapBC Mapping death.’’ Legend The family asked TileCache that people honour her memory by making the community a better place. “Volunteer your time and labour or donate to a homeless shelter,’’ the statement said. “Tell them Chrissy 1: 544,201 sent you.” Premier Rachel Copyright/Disclaimer Notley said the London attack hit Alberta especially hard because Archibald was known and loved by so many in the province.

release Monday. “Albertans stand united with our friends in London and with everyone across the world who believes in the importance of free, open and caring societies.” On Twitter, people using the hashtag #Chrissysentme expressed their sadness for the family’s loss, but many also said they were inspired by the call for meaningful action. “In darkness we have a choice, to make the world a better place or let hate win,” said one tweet. “Chrissy Archibald’s family chose the former.” Some pledged to make donations to shelters, soup kitchens and other community groups. “We have made a donation to our community food bank in honour of Christine Archibald,’’ said one tweet. “I don’t know what else to say except: #Chrissysentme.” Peter Choate, an assistant professor of social work at Mount

Royal University, said he was receiving a steady flow of tweets, texts and Facebook messages from colleagues, past alumni and current students. “She exemplified what matters to us in social work, and that’s the capacity to see the challenging circumstances that someone finds themselves in and be prepared to work with them to cope as best they can with life’s circumstances,” he said. “Being a social worker myself . . . I’ve worked with people who’ve experienced this, and this changes the lives of those people — not just Christine’s family, but all the families who’ve been affected by this. This is a day they’ll never forget.” Choate acknowledges that people traumatized by such events face an uphill emotional struggle — one that can last for years — but he has some professional advice for those trying to cope. “What’s important for people who go

through this kind of trauma is to stay connected, to talk and be aware of what you’re feeling and to be honest about it, and to cry, and if you want to scream at the top of your lungs, scream at the top of your lungs.” Archibald’s fiance had been walking a few steps ahead of her and escaped physical injury but suffered deep emotional wounds, his siblings said in a Facebook post. “Last night in London my baby brother lost the love of his life on the London Bridge. In a split second his entire life was ripped away from him,” wrote Cassie Ferguson Rowe, Ferguson’s sister. Choate said Archibald had a great deal of empathy for people in tough situations. She had worked successfully in the extremely tough environment of a Calgary shelter where the residents are permitted to be intoxicated when entering. Kathy Christiansen, executive director of Alpha House in Calgary, said Archibald had worked at the nonprofit until recently and would remain in the hearts of her friends and colleagues. The young woman was a talented social worker and an “exceptional human being,” Christiansen said in a statement. “Chrissy was a bright light to many, and her generosity, kind spirit and huge heart for her work in responding to issues of addictions and homelessness at the centre inspired us all.” — With files from Lauren Krugel in Calgary

Minister ‘shocked, angry’ with treatment of sex assault victim THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley has launched an independent investigation into what she calls the failure of the provincial justice system at every level in the way it treated the victim of a vicious sexual assault. The announcement follows a CBC report on a 28-year-old indigenous woman from central Alberta who was forced to spend five nights in the Edmonton Remand

Centre during her testimony at a 2015 preliminary hearing for the man who attacked her. The report says the woman had trouble focusing and answering questions, so the judge agreed with a Crown prosecutor’s request to have her spend the weekend in the centre out of concern for her physical and mental state. She was forced to testify about the June 2014 assault in Edmonton while she was shackled and handcuffed, and on

at least two occasions she had to travel in the same prisoner van as her attacker. The woman, whose name is protected under a publication ban, was killed in an unrelated shooting seven months after her testimony. Ganley has hired Manitoba criminal lawyer Roberta Campbell to investigate what happened and she’s also set up a committee to review the case and recommend policies to ensure such treatment never happens again.

“When I was made aware of this situation, I was shocked, angry and heartbroken,” said Ganley in a written statement released Monday. “In my opinion, there were obvious mistakes and poor decisions made in this case. The way she was treated in the system is absolutely unacceptable.” Ganley said she has already apologized to the victim’s mother for the way her daughter was treated. A representative from provincial victim services will

be working to ensure appropriate resources are available to the family. Ganley also said any prosecutor who decides to use a section of the Criminal Code that allows for witnesses to be held in custody for refusing to testify must have the decision approved by the chief Crown prosecutor. Lance Blanchard, the man who attacked the woman, was found guilty last December of aggravated assault, kidnapping, unlawful confinement, aggravated

Goodale vows ‘seamless collaboration’ among security agencies ahead of July 1 OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says there will be “seamless collaboration” among security and intelligence agencies across the country in preparation for events around Canada Day. Goodale says municipal and provincial

police forces will be involved in security measures along with the RCMP and that officials will do everything possible to keep Canadians safe. He also says Canada will not be intimidated in wake of the deadly attack in London.

Our America’s Music Cities tour features Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans. See “Music City” Nashville from the eyes and ears of a local singer/songwriter on a unique city tour. Must visit locations include both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum as well as The Grand Ole Opry. Located in the foothills of northeast Mississippi, Tupelo is the epicenter of America’s music, where, in 1935, the world’s greatest entertainer was born in a two-room shotgun shack. Experience the first part of Elvis’ incredible story by

visiting the birthplace where he took his first breath, the church where he sang his first song, and the hardware store where he strummed his first guitar. Maybe even more Music City than its country cousin to the east, Memphis has strong affiliations with not one musical genre but three. It is the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, the cradle of soul and, though the blues weren’t born here (that distinction goes to the rural parts of the Mississippi Delta), it was the Memphis-based musician and “Father of the Blues,” W. C. Handy, who helped get those “lonesome songs” out into the world. We continue the story of Elvis with a guided city tour and visit to the newly expanded Graceland

The life of The King provides the backdrop for the museum to share the rich cultural heritage of the Mississippi Delta.

fter 23 years, the Hampton Gallery will close at the end of June, the latest brick-and-mortar art gallery to shutter in downtown Kamloops. Diane and Peter Stuhlmann owned the city’s lone fine-arts gallery for five years and are disappointed. “Being surrounded by something beautiful has been a real joy,” Diane said. Through tears, she insisted she has no hard feelings toward the community over the closure, but said the decision came down to lack of support. Fine art is a luxury item and Diane noted the market struggled to recover from the 2008 recession. She will miss working with artists — some 40 painters and a handful of 3-D artists who have been showcased for years in the space at 167 Fourth Ave. Eighty per cent of the artists are from B.C., with several from the Kamloops area. The Hampton Gallery is just the latest brick-and-mortar gallery to close in

downtown Kamloops. Chazou Gallery is now closed at 791 Victoria St. and local artist Karla Pearce shuttered her gallery across from the Noble Pig in 2014. Pearce’s decision came due to declining enrolment in her painting classes

during the teachers’ strike, coupled with family health issues. Pearce said she could at one time sustain herself through selling artwork for top dollar, but gone are the days of charging $1,000plus for a painting. Young families building roots

in Kamloops are spending their fixed incomes elsewhere and millennials are opting to create their own works, with the resurgence of arts and crafts thanks to the likes of Pinterest. Add to that readily available artwork for a bargain at places

like Walmart and Winners. “I look at the canvas and think, if it goes on sale, I might buy it and paint over it,” Pearce said. She has adapted, nonetheless, moving away from the traditional brick-and-mortar gallery model to

running the Kamloops Artisan Market, selling a variety of lower end art products like jewelry and providing painting classes. The Hampton is unique in the city, privately selling highquality fine art. The Kamloops Art Gallery, by comparison, is

publicly subsidized with curated exhibits for display. “I’m very sad to hear that the Hampton Gallery is closing down,” Pearce said. Diane said losing a fine-arts gallery is a blow to the community. She said viewing art on a screen and in person are different experiences, with colours that may vary and difficulty in gauging size and texture. “I think you need to be able to physically see a piece to fall in love with it,” Diane said. The Stuhlmanns aren’t sure what comes next and it is unclear whether the building will remain vacant once the Hampton closes.

Standing on his Barnhartvale balcony recently, Klaus Voss frowned at the noise from a nearby gravel pit. “We can’t put up with that. It’s crazy. We can’t sit outside,” Voss said. But regulators who oversee the mine’s operation say the noise is occurring at a reasonable level, while pit owner Dawson Construction argues there is not much else to do to stop it. “It’s in a tight little valley. There’s nowhere for the noise to go,” said operator Len Kazakoff. “Either we’re up against the bank and it projects out, or out the valley. I don’t know how you mediate something like that.” Voss said the problems began last year, after Dawson Construction Ltd. pur-

chased the pit from its previous owner, Brian McLean. “He had equipment that was pretty quiet and he would always situate it away from us,” Voss said of McLean. “He had it behind a big berm or something. When these guys came, they had the equipment higher, facing us.” While the pit does not operate year-round — 2017’s operations were due to wrap up in May, after the company finished making sand for its asphalt plant located elsewhere — Voss said he is concerned because Dawson’s permit applications suggest the company would like to use the pit more, if it has more jobs that require gravel and sand. “The odd time, you can put up with it. But this could be indefinite,” he said. Voss has complained to Dawson, the

City of Kamloops and the provincial Ministry of Energy and Mines, but said he has had no success. He feels the city’s noise-control bylaw, which states no entity shall make noise “in or on a public or private place which is liable to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of individuals of the public,” should hold some sway. But, Dave Jones, property-use coordinator for the city, said that since the pit is operating on land zoned for that purpose, the city’s authority is largely superseded by the Ministry of Mines. “When they do the permits for them, they set out how they can operate, what they can operate, dust mitigation, noise mitigation, stuff like that,” he said. “It’s really up to those guys and their inspectors to regulate them.” A spokesman for the

Ministry of Mines said the ministry is aware of only one complaint about the pit and said Dawson has taken extra steps to avoid making noise, including getting permission to disable backup alarms on its trucks. Operating only during daylight hours (from about 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) is also considered mitigation of noise. Operator Kazakoff said while the company could go into the pit more often if jobs require it, Dawson operates less frequently than the pit’s former owners. He said he’s not surprised there are complaints about the sound, but added Dawson’s complaint volume is similar to the previous owner’s. “Nobody likes noise, nobody likes to be living near a gravel pit, but they chose to,” he said. “It’s been there since long before the houses were.”

The workshop will held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Alzheimer Resource Centre, 405 - 235 First Ave. downtown. Pre-registration is required. For information and to sign up, call the centre at 250-377-8200 or email info.kamloops@alzheimerbc.org. “Advocacy simply means speaking up — for yourself or for someone else,” said Tara Hildebrand, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s support and education co-ordinator for Kamloops and the Central Interior region. People with dementia often are unable to make their needs and wishes known, or may not be listened to, so somebody else has to speak to doctors, caregivers, health-care providers and other professionals. “The advocate’s main job is to communicate, and there can be a lot of communicating to do,” Hildebrand said. More information on living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias is available online at alzheimerbc.org.

before graduating and signing with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2014. “I want to prove I can be a guy in this league. I’m kind of past the stage of just trying to hang on. I want to prove that I can compete with the best of them.” Price, 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, edged out Greg McGhee at training camp in Kamloops last year to claim

the third-string role behind starter Jonathon Jennings and backup Travis Lulay. This year, the fourthyear CFLer is being pushed by Alex Ross, an undrafted rookie out of Coastal Carolina who signed with the Lions in January. “It started off slow at camp, but once I started getting used to the changes in the game, it’s been going all right,”

Don’t expect to see another Patterson in Cranbrook any time soon. After the Western Hockey League’s Kootenay Ice fired head coach and Merritt native Luke Pierce on Friday morning, Kamloops Storm head coach Ed Patterson told KTW he won’t be applying for a position with the team his son has played for the last two seasons. Earlier this off-season, both Patterson and Storm general manager Barry Dewar confirmed the longtime junior B head coach would entertain other options in advance of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season beginning in September. “I would have interest if my son didn’t play there,” Patterson said of his 17-year-old son, Max, who ended his sophomore campaign notching 15 points, including eight goals, in 63 games. The Ice were sold earlier this season when the Chynoweth family transferred ownership to Winnipeg entrepreneur Greg Fettes and president and general manager Matt Cockell. The Chynoweth family had owned the Ice for more than 20 years, since the club was born as the Edmonton Ice in 1996. The team moved to Cranbrook

to become the Kootenay Ice in 1998, winning the Memorial Cup in 2002. “New owners, new GM, they want to make a splash,” Patterson said “I would be willing to bet that they’ll have a guy with NHL experience. I think they need to prove to the local community that they’re in it

for real and they want to put a good product on the ice. That includes having a veteran coach with lots of experience.” Pierce, former head coach of the junior A Merritt Centennials, just wrapped up his second season on the bench for Kootenay. The club went 23-43-5 and missed the playoffs for the second straight season. “The Ice would like to thank Luke for his dedication to the hockey club and the community over the past two seasons,” Cockell said in a release. “We are committed to a fresh start for the organization and this includes the business and hockey operations. We feel that this was a necessary decision to accomplish that objective.” Speaking to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman on Friday, Pierce described his firing as a “shocker.” “This is the first time that this has happened to me [and] you go through a lot of emotions,” he said. “You go through it all: some anger, some disappointment, some embarrassment, you name it. We’re just trying to cope with it the best we can as a family. “I was hopeful that I’d have a chance [to stay] with a group I feel pretty strongly about coming into the season, but that’s not the case.”

Lots to talk about at U Sports AGM

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

League branding and the rules surrounding recruitment and eligibility are what Ken Olynyk expects to be some of the biggest issues at the 2017 U Sports Annual General Meeting and Conference this week. The Thompson Rivers University athletic director joined representatives from Canada’s 55 other varsity sports franchises in Mississauga on Monday to attend a variety of workshops in the conference before discussing and voting on league-wide issues at the Thursday AGM. Speaking to KTW last week, Olynyk said he expected rules surrounding eligibility and recruitment will require significant discussion. The association has been working on a recruiting document and has also been talking about a variety of changes to how it handles eligibility. Repatriation of Canadian studentathletes after time at American schools and the possibility of instituting one-time transfers between Canadian institutions — without requiring students to sit out for a season of play — will be on the agenda. “Rules have to be clearer, rules are constantly changing,” he said, referencing the recruiting document the association has been preparing as a step in the right direction. “Now it’s a matter of what things aren’t clear? What things do we need to continued to educate people on? “The recruiting aspect is always trying to level the playing field.” Among the themes for the week of workshops are athlete welfare, broadcasting, U Sports in the Canadian sport landscape, sports

statistics, studentathlete mental health, advancing women through university sport, anti-doping and parity and excellence. The branding of university sport was at the forefront for Olynyk. “As an example, we need people to be thinking U Sports and forget about CIS [Canadian Interuniversity Sport, the league’s previous name]. That’s a big part of the branding,” he said. “We’re really excited, personally, at Thompson Rivers University, because we’re going to get to put that on display with the men’s soccer national championship in November.” Olynyk said studentathlete mental health and advancing women in sport would be two other key issues in Mississauga. The athletic director said he is proud of the the WolfPack’s track record of advancing women in athletics and hopes mentorship and continued growth will see more women in coaching and leadership roles at the university. As for mental health, it’s a key issue for not just athletics, but entire universities. “Mental health in universities, not just societally, but within universities has become a growing concern,” he said. “I think universities are dealing with that on a regular basis and, obviously, as sport programs and as university sport, we also take great interest in that and trying to make sure we provide all the support and all the opportunities we can to ensure our student-athletes are as sound, in terms of mental health, as possible. The AGM and conference is U Sports’ 40th and will also include an awards gala and dinner on Wednesday.

Dad’s say the Funniest Things! We’d love to hear all about the funny things your dad has said to you.

OAKLAND, Calif. — LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are headed home in a familiar spot after the first two games of the NBA final. Rather than reach back to last year’s championship comeback for a confidence boost, James’ focus is on figuring out what Cleveland must do to change its fortunes against a Warriors team that is fresher and far more dangerous this year, thanks to the addition of Kevin Durant. “They’re a different team,’’ James said following a 132-113 loss in Game 2 on Sunday night that put Cleveland in an 0-2 hole. That’s been quite evident through two games. Game 3 is slated for Wednesday, with tipoff scheduled for 6 p.m. Durant leads all players with 71 points after two games — six more than the player he replaced in the lineup, Harrison Barnes, scored in seven games a year ago. Durant’s scoring has taken pressure off Stephen Curry and allowed the Warriors to withstand Cleveland runs so well that they haven’t trailed after the first quarter in either game. A healthy Curry followed up a 28-point Game 1 with his first post-season triple-double on Sunday with 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. He looks more like a two-time MVP than the hobbled player he was in last year’s Finals. Klay Thompson shook off a shooting slump to score 22 points and the Warriors pulled away late for another lopsided win. “They play well at home,’’ Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “They won their first two games like they’re supposed to. Coming to a tough environment, we knew it was going to be tough, but they won the first two games. We get a chance to go home now to our home crowd where we play well, also.’’ The Cavs began to turn things

Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers were down 2-0 to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA final last year, but came back to win the series in Game 7.

around last year after being outscored by 48 points in the first two losses in Oakland — seven points more than this year. They split the two games at home before reeling off three straight wins to become the fourth team to win the title after losing the first two games. “They’re going keep to coming, man,’’ Curry said. “There is a lot of work for us left to do. And you got to expect them to play, obviously, better at home. And we’re going to need to play better to win on the road.’’ What was so discouraging for the Cavs is that they played better in Game 2 but the result didn’t really change. They went to a smaller lineup that contributed to Golden State committing 20 turnovers a game after tying a final record with four. The offence picked up thanks to 27 points from Kevin Love and the Cavs scored 22 more points than in the opener in a faster-paced game, but that also helped the Warriors improve their shooting from 43 per cent to 52 per cent as Cleveland had a weaker defensive on the floor. “We definitely have a sense of what they’re capable of, and we felt like a lot of times tonight we

played better basketball,’’ Love said. “But they’re a team you cannot — you can’t let them go on runs.’’ The key one came late in the third quarter after Cleveland cut the deficit to four points. The Warriors followed with a 16-4 run that included three-pointers from Curry and Thompson, a three-point play from Durant in transition and four points from Shaun Livingston. “That’s what they do,’’ James said. “That’s what Golden State does. If you make a mistake — like I said, we had a turnover, it came from me, and then we had a miscue and the floods opened again.’’ The first two games have shown a stark difference in depth. While James has thrived so far and had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists to tie Magic Johnson’s record with his eighth career triple-double in a championship game, he hasn’t gotten nearly enough help. Kyrie Irving scored 24 points in the opener and Love had a big day in Game 2, but starters Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith have been nearly invisible and the bench has offered little help. The Warriors, on the other hand, have gotten key contributions from their four All-Stars: Curry, Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, as well as from players like Livingston, Andre Iguodala and Zaza Pachulia at times to set an NBA record with 14 straight postseason wins. But after being so close last year and falling short, the Warriors know how difficult the next two will be. “It’s human nature to let your guard down, human nature, 2-0, everybody in the world ‘It’s over, it’s over,’’’ Livingston said. “No, it’s not over. We saw what happened last year. We’ve been here. The guys that were here last year understand it’s the hardest thing to do is to try to close out a series and we’ve got two more games to go. We need to take that mentality to Cleveland.’’

Lulay’s advice: QBs, fake confidence if it’s not there From A25

Price, 25, is likely to see the lion’s share of the snaps under centre in the first half, with Lulay and Jennings to spend most of their time in Cowtown on the sideline. Frederic PaquettePerrault, the McGill sophomore in training camp as part of the league’s quarterback internship program, will also travel to Calgary for the game on Tuesday. Lulay, who led the Lions to the Grey Cup in 2011, spoke to Price in the off-season, offering advice to the Los Angeles native on goals for 2017. “You should approach this like, I’m proving to the staff and my teammates that I can win football games

for this team,” Lulay told Price. “I’m not trying to make this team. I’m proving I can be a good player when I’m on the field.” Word around camp is Price — who signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in May 2014, but was released two months later — has been sharp at Hillside Stadium, confident in his reads and commanding the huddle with a veteran presence. He has limited CFL experience, having played in only four regular-season games (going 33-for51 for 413 yards, three touchdowns and one interception), but Price won’t be overwhelmed by pre-season action. “I feel like I’m in

this situation every year,” Price said with a laugh. “I’m not competing with Alex. I’m competing with myself. “As long as I’m on top of my game and confident and making reads and taking what the defence gives me, I should be all right.” Ross, 24, will see his first live threedown football action on Tuesday evening. If there are any nerves, Lulay’s advice is simple — hide them. “Fake the confidence,” Lulay said. “If you’re nervous, the guys around you start to feel that. “Don’t be wishywashy. Trust who you are. Trust the instincts that got you here. Read it. See it. Throw it.” Ross has made mis-

takes at camp, struggling at times to read coverages that don’t exist in the American game, for example, but Lulay said the strongarmed signal caller is a quick study. “Alex is green, “ Lulay said. “You can see mistakes happen. He’s still a little unsure. “But he’s starting to use those eyes as weapons. You can see that, OK, good, it’s clicking. He’s shown the ability to improve and he plays confident.” Ross, who attended training camp with the Atlanta Falcons last year before being

you’re confident in the huddle. That’s what I expect to do.” Both Ross and Price can throw strikes, but reading coverages, altering cadences, calling checkdowns on blitzes and throwing the ball away when

necessary will be just as important on Tuesday night. “It’ll be fun to see both those guys in a live setting,” Lulay said. “My biggest advice to both of them: Be decisive.”

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Aries, remaining quiet about how you truly feel about someone will not be helpful this week. It’s better if you unleash your emotions and let your loved one know the truth.

Your dedication could be the key to putting things back on track at work, Taurus. After a little turbulence, everything will work out once more with you on task.

Libra, this week you feel more comfortable working with others in a group than you do on solo projects. This reinforces to others that you are a team player and a valuable asset.

Others won’t stand in your way this week, Scorpio.You are a productivity powerhouse, and you are ready to overcome any and all obstacles.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Gemini, profound change is never easy, but you have to give it a try. Start slowly with little things that may not affect you as much, then build up to bigger changes.

You may be feeling invincible this week because you haven’t run up against much resistance lately, Cancer. Just don’t believe everything will be a piece of cake.

Sagittarius, you may be tempted to throw in the towel when things are not going your way. Give the situation a little more time before you make a foolhardy decision.

Others realize you are willing to put in long hours when you see the possibilities for a positive return, Capricorn. Share this enthusiasm with others and they might reciprocate.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Leo, you are on a roll this week, and everything you encounter puts an extra spring in your step. Just don’t get so engrossed in your progress that you forget others.

Virgo, your creativity is overflowing this week. This proves a boon to anyone who has asked for your assistance with party planning, decorating or other creative pursuits.

Continue to be that steady rock that others can rely on, Aquarius. The waters could get a little choppy this week, and others will need a strong anchor to get them by.

It is with deep sadness that his sisters Denyse and Nicole announce that Mike passed away on May 10, 2017. Mike was born in Montreal, QC to Dr. Jean and Andrée Garneau.

ALTON WAYNE “RED” HEATH February 20, 1930 – June 2, 2016

During his short life, Steven touched many people with his humour and love. He spent many hours writing and playing his guitar and enjoying fishing adventures. His curiosity and love for a party were boundless. He was a true free spirit, living for the day. Steve will be missed an remembered by the many who knew and loved him.

It’s been a year since your passing. We miss your love, and all the joy you brought to us.

Steve is survived by his broken hearted parents Dave (Shanamay) Baxter, Roseanne (Rich) Kovasin, sister Taylor (Dylan), grandpa Tom and grandma Betty. We wish to thank Steve’s numerous community of friends in Kamloops and Courtenay and the Trout Creek crew who provided support and assistance during this very difficult time.

We know you’re in a more peaceful place, but we miss you dearly. Love, Peg and family.

Never Quit

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!

Footprints

Joseph Edward Kopec

January 1, 1935 June 3, 2011

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

She is lovingly remembered by her remaining sibling Myra (LaRon) Smith of Kamloops, her daughters Beverley (David) Rennie of Lillooet and Shelley (Scott) Taylor of Scotch Creek, son Brian (Dorothy) Patershut of Kamloops, daughter-in-law Mary Anne of Dawson Creek, four grandchildren Leah, Michael, Lindsey and Kadin, three great-grandchildren Mikaela, Presley and Harlynn, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Mom stayed at home to raise her children. She entered the workforce in her fifties to work at the North Hills Theatre where she was fondly known as “Mrs. P”. She had a lifelong love of birds and in her early years raised every kind imaginable, the most memorable being those noisy peacocks. Mom was a kind, gentle soul, never judging or criticizing, accepting everyone for who they were. She was an inspiration to us all and we will miss her dearly. A Remembrance Tea will be held Saturday, June 10th at 11:00 am at the Schoenings Funeral Services Tea Room, 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, BC. Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Your Loving Family

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
