AJAX ONSIDE WITH REVIEW

Sears in serious financial crisis The future of an anchor tenant in Aberdeen Mall is in doubt. Sears Canada’s stock plunged Wednesday morning following a report it is preparing to seek court protection from creditors. The shares fell 21.25 per cent, or 17 cents, to 63 cents on the Toronto Stock Exchange shortly after the market opened Wednesday. The stock has been on a nosedive in the last year — losing more than 80 per cent of its value — and just last week the company warned there was “significant doubt’’ about its future and that it could be sold or restructured. Bloomberg News, citing unnamed people it said were familiar with the matter, reported the company is preparing to seek court protection from creditors within weeks and that the business could be sold off in pieces. The Toronto-based retailer and its American counterpart have been suffering from dwindling sales for years as a result of changes to consumer buying patterns and new competition, particularly from online shopping. In April, Sears Canada announced its 2016-17 loss was $321 million. Shareholders rank after lenders and creditors in a court-supervised bankruptcy proceeding, so Sears Canada shares could lose most or all of their value if it files under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act or Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. According to regulatory documents, its biggest direct and indirect shareholder is billionaire Edward S. Lampert, who also controls the Sears Holding Corp., a public company that owns Sears and Kmart stores in the United States. — Canadian Press

Hundreds attend meeting on SLR report on Ajax applicaiton Page A6

PULLING FOR ABORIGINAL DAY

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Kamloops School of the Arts Grade 3 student Calliope Leadbeater puts everything she has into a tug-of-war contest during a school outing on Wednesday to take part in Aboriginal Day activities at Riverside Park.

The local manager of the Ajax mine project said he has no major criticisms of the report by an independent consultant hired by the city. That report by SLR Consulting was presented to a public meeting Monday night in Kamloops in front of nearly 500 people. “The report and the event were quite positive,” said Chris Wild, project manager for KGHM Ajax. “By and large, he [SLR’s Paul Draycott] covered points in the environmental assessment and follow up and did a fairly good job bringing it all together.” Monday’s event did not involve KGHM Ajax directly, unlike provincial-federal meetings where cor-

RIDING, NOT HIDING

porate and consulting representatives run the show. “Generally, it was quite balanced,” Wild said. “We could quibble with a few points.” SLR’s chief concern, and that of a Interior Health Authority medical health officer at the meeting, centres on the ability to keep 90 per cent of dust created from trucks travelling on haul roads from drifting up and blowing into Aberdeen and Pineview Valley. There are also concerns about groundwater, leakage from Jacko Lake and lighting of the night sky. See COUNCIL, A10

Kamloops has done a lot to promote affordable housing. But during her city council workshop presentation on Tuesday morning, Jen Casorso didn’t paint a pretty picture. “Developers have an opportunity to invest in Kamloops with moderate risk and significant potential reward,” she said. “However, with ongoing population growth and the shortage of well-located land, the price of multifamily housing will rise and continue to adversely impact affordability.” Casorso, the social and community development supervisor for the City of Kamloops, began by outlining the affordable housing continuum, moving on to describing where the need is currently greatest and what the city’s role is in relation to that need. According to 2016 numbers from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Kamloops features 842 units of not-for-profit housing, as well as 101 emergency

A suspected burglar tried swimming to freedom in Kamloops on Wednesday morning, but ended up in police custody while being treated in hospital for hypothermia. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said Mounties were called at 6 a.m. to a report of a break and enter in progress at a residence in the G&M Trailer Park on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve, at Highway 5 North and West Shuswap Road. Shelkie said residents in the home heard someone inside and called police. By the time officers arrived,

the suspect had left the home. He was tracked by officers and a police dog south to the South Thompson River, across which he began swimming. While the suspected burglar was trying to swim to freedom, the Kamloops Fire Rescue boat was pressed into service to help Mounties. “The suspect swam across the river and clung to an old dock pillar,” Shelkie said. “With the Kamloops Fire and Rescue boat closing in on his location, officers on the south shore of the river convinced the suspect that it would be in his best interest to

come ashore, which he did.” The 23-year-old man was arrested and taken to Royal Inland Hospital to be treated for hypothermia as he had been in the river for approximately 30 minutes. Shelkie said the man recently moved to British Columbia and has numerous outstanding warrants out of Alberta and Manitoba for possession of stolen property, break and enter and firearm offences. He will be facing charges of break and enter and obstructing a police officer in connection to Wednesday’s incident.

Scam targets immigrants Kamloops Mounties are warning the public about a scam targeting newcomers to Canada. Cpl. Jodie Shelkie said police recently received a report that a phone scammer, pretending to be an immigration official and police representative, was demanding money from a recent immigrant. Shelkie said someone purporting to be from Citizenship and

Immigration Canada called a female newcomer to Canada, saying there were complaints against the victim. “They said that her visa had been revoked and the police had issued a warrant for her arrest,” Shelkie said. “On all of the phone calls, the victim’s call display showed that the phone calls were supposedly coming from the office of Immigration Canada

and the local RCMP detachment.” The scammer told the targeted victim that she had to wire thousands of dollars or she would be arrested and deported. “Luckily, the newcomer called Kamloops RCMP rather than sending the money,” Shelkie said. “This is a scam. Citizenship and Immigration Canada never accept payments

over the phone by prepaid credit cards or private money transfers. The fraudsters use cloning apps to show legitimate phone numbers to trick the victims into sending money.” Shelkie said those receiving such calls should hang up immediately, then call Immigration Canada to confirm their status and make a report to their local RCMP detachment.

After 40 years of being a leading supplier for British Columbia's outdoor power equipment needs, at the end of the month Ida Supply will close.

The opening of the Stkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation (SSN) Pipsell Exhibit took place Tuesday at the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park on the Tkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;emlups Indian Band reserve. Skeetchestn Indian Band Chief Ron Ignace and TIB Chief Fred Seymour represented each band and spoke of the value and sacredness of the land surrounding Jacko Lake, south of Aberdeen, for more than seven generations. Ignace spoke of looking to renew the benefits of the land in its use, to preserve and sustain. The installation in the museum is a celebration of the culmination of work around Pipsell (Jacko Lake and area). The event also featured the

inaugural screening of the video highlighting the June 11, designation of Pipsell as Secwepemc Nation cultural heritage site. On hand at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibit opening was Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park museum archivist Carryl Armstrong, who sees the collective work of Pipsell by SSN as groundbreaking and very much in the media at present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This collaboration is an opportunity to share the story of our sacred connection to this land as the original people, and educate the public about our culture, stories and the title and rights process,â&#x20AC;? says Armstrong. The area is where KGHM wants to build its proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. On March 4, after a year-long review, the SSN announced it is opposed to Ajax. Seymour reiterated that opposition on Tuesday, telling those

gathered that â&#x20AC;&#x153;no means no,â&#x20AC;? adding there is no â&#x20AC;&#x153;wriggle roomâ&#x20AC;? for discussions with KGHM. The provincial and federal governments are set to make a decision on Ajax later this year. In September 2015, the two bands filed a title claim in B.C. Supreme Court to lands owned by KGHM Ajax, starting what may become a precedent-setting court case. The filing of the claim moves SSN to the pre-declaration stage identified in the Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in decision for Title and Rights. In January 2016, the B.C. government issued a release, saying it will oppose the title claim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The B.C. government will vigorously oppose a declaration that has the potential to create uncertainty over the land base and for private property owners across this territory,â&#x20AC;? a provincial government release stated.

Green shirts dominated the crowd, but blue shirts dominated the conversation Monday at a public meeting on the SLR watchdog report on KGHM’s application for its proposed Ajax Mine. An estimated 400 to 500 people attended the meeting at Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen, more than a quarter of them wearing lime green T-shirts proclaiming support for the mining project. Placards and signs of any kind were not allowed under the meeting rules. The shirts met the letter, if not spirit, of the rules. One wearer said they were organized by Caroline King, a vocal mine advocate. A smaller but more vocal group wore Code Blue T-shirts in opposition to Ajax, signifying a medical emergency in a hospital. Those blue-clad residents dominated a question-andanswer session at the microphone that began following more than two hours of presentation by SLR consultant Paul Draycott. He outlined findings contained in a report commissioned by the city at a cost of $500,000 — $300,000 of which was funded by KGHM and $200,000 of which was paid for by city taxpayers. Those findings were earlier reported publicly. They include uncertainties primarily around the ability of the mine to achieve 90 per cent dust mitigation. Without it, air quality will worsen. “Ninety per cent in our opin-

[web-extra]

Read the entire SLR report online at http://www.kamloopsthisweek.com/slrajaxreview/ ion is the maximum. It’s not typical for mine sites to commit to 90 per cent. We’re not saying it can’t be done . . .” Draycott said. “Achieving 90 per cent is critical.” Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, a medical health officer with Interior Health, said studies by proponent KGHM relied on annual averages for dust, rather than peaks. He believes there will be peak episodes of dust exposure in the city, what he called “spikes.” Ingesting small dust particles can lead to respiratory and heart disease. “The modelling approach is unable to model hourly or spikes — it averages it out,” he said. “There will be spikes in my professional opinion.” Draycott said there are mines in the world that have achieved 90 per cent mitigation, but noted the number is small. One measure to ensure it meets standards would be through the appointment of an independent environmental monitor who reports to government. That position, what Draycott likened to an audit, would have the ability to issue a stop-work order. Other questions centred around ground stability in Aberdeen, which has historical groundwater problems; concerns about water and fish sur-

vival in Jacko Lake; and dark sky: SLR doesn’t believe the southern night sky will remain dark once the mine starts, contrary to the mine’s assurances. Les Evans, calling himself “just your average citizen with a green shirt, too,” credited SLR for the report. So did those on the other side, including Dr. Jennifer Takahashi, who backed up SLR’s recommendation for an independent monitor should the mine receive approval. The next step in the process is Thursday, when Kamloops council will meet to formulate its response to the report. City council is set to vote on a stance on the project on July 17. Its support or opposition has no bearing on approval or rejection (Ajax requires approval of both Ottawa and Victoria to proceed), but the city’s position will be taken into consideration by the powers-that-be. When council votes on whether to support Ajax, there will be six council members in office as Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Marg Spina and Ken Christian will resign on June 30, a trio of resignations that will trigger a byelection in September. Milobar is resigning as he was elected MLA in May. Christian is resigning to run for the empty mayor’s chair. Spina is resigning to focus on cancer treatment. Of the six remaining council members who will vote on Ajax on July 17, four — Donovan Cavers, Dieter Dudy, Tina Lange and Dieter Dudy — have long been opposed to the project. The remaining two — Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh and Coun. Pat Wallace — have yet to state an opinion.

Fentanyl warning extends to Sun Peaks TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Efforts by Mounties to inform Sun Peaks’ young workforce about the dangers of fentanyl appear to be paying dividends, according to the officer in charge of policing the mountain resort town. RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird told KTW police gave a special presentation last fall to about 400 Sun Peaks workers undergoing orientation — and there hasn’t been an overdose since, he said.

“That was our fear, was having fentanyl overdoses up there,” he said. “It’s about prevention.” Aird said the presentation included input from plainclothes drug investigators in Kamloops. “To be able to bring in plainclothes drug members who know what’s going on on the street, that’s important,” he said. Aird said police were recently called to Sun Peaks after a suspected drug-dealing staffer was among a group of people evicted from employee residences. He

said resort officials provided police a short list of names. “We’ll follow up on that,” he said. “By the time we were called, they’d already been removed from the residence.” Aird said the drugs generally used by Sun Peaks workers tend to be soft. “It would be more marijuana use,” he said. “We don’t see the hard stuff up there like we do in town. “And we’re finding they are not in large quantities. These people don’t make a lot of money, either.”

New prosecutor in case against sheriff British Columbia’s Prosecution Service said a new special prosecutor has been named to lead the case against a former Kamloops deputy sheriff charged with sexual offences. Vancouver lawyer Brock Martland will take over from Michael Tammen, who was recently appointed to the B.C. Supreme Court. The prosecution service said

Martland will conduct an independent review and assessment of the charges faced by Kevin Johnston, who was charged last September with three counts of communicating with an underage person for a sexual offence. The charges were laid after a vigilante group released text logs it alleged were between Johnston and a person claiming to be 14 years old.

A news release from the prosecution service stated a charge of invitation to sexual touching was recently stayed. The alleged offences are said to have occurred between Aug. 8 and Aug. 27, 2016, at or near the cities of Kamloops and Kelowna. Johnston is expected to return to court on July 6 in Kelowna to set a date for trial.

DAY CARE COSTS A UNIVERSAL WOE

amilies seeking day care relief may be watching their child graduate from high school before seeing any meaningful changes in B.C. This wouldn’t be a big deal if young families weren’t already tapped out paying for mortgages, but a second mortgage in the form of child care fees is making life even less affordable. Canadians aren’t big on paying for other kids’ day care and that’s why we have a patchwork system. Even the federal government’s muchvaunted day care plan is targeted mostly to low-income and marginal communities. While that’s needed, the average family is not likely to see much benefit. There is great ambivalence towards universal child care supports in this country, unlike in some European countries, where it’s seen as an important pillar of society. Here, child care is seen as an individual responsibility. In B.C., the $10-a-day plan proposed by the New Democrats is in jeopardy because of what is likely to be a short-lived NDP-Green partnership. Even if that plan were to succeed, it would take years to fully roll out, while a switch back to a B.C. Liberal government or a downturn in the economy could kill it. In Quebec, where a $7-a-day plan gets the most attention, the realities of such a scheme have not lived up to the promise. Public day-care spots are limited because governments are only willing to put so much money into the program; thus, only about a third of families get access to them, creating long waiting lists and concerns about substandard care. Meanwhile, the Quebec government has slowly increased fees while even modestly higher income families are taxed back on the subsidies. While it does seem that Quebec’s system has reduced costs for day care for more families than those who get subsidies in B.C. (targeting only families earning less than $40,000 to $55,000) the cost constraints have resulted in a less than perfect system.

Following the money

thletes seek it, so why wouldn’t politicians try to do the same? There are little things that can help a party gain an edge in a campaign where every vote really does count. Those edges run the gamut from a sudden desire to visit every region of the province on government business while simultaneously holding party fundraisers to bombarding TV viewers with government ads underscored with uplifting music. Ever wonder why B.C. political parties need so much cash? To see if they can hit the province’s spending limits. It doesn’t get much attention, but in keeping with B.C.’s Wild West political culture, there are a few anomalies between the province’s limits and pretty well every other jurisdiction that has caps in place. At the federal level, candidate limits are set taking the number of voters and any special geographic considerations into account. Thumbing its nose at such convention, the limit in B.C. is the same in all 87 ridings: $77,674. Looked at from a per voter perspective, a candidate running in Vernon-Monashee would have been able to spend $1.64 per voter, while a candidate running in Stikine would have had a cap of $5.86 per voter. The total for 87 MLAs — a full slate in B.C. — was $6.75 million. Using the 2015 federal spending limit, adjusting it for the difference in the length of a provincial campaign, the total would have been $3.27 million, less than half. The spending limit for federal parties — on top of candidate spending — is less, but it also relies on a per voter formula, as well as accounting for the number of

SHOT candidates a party is running. A federal party running a fullslate of candidates in B.C. would have seen the province account for $2.46 million of its overall limit in 2015. A party’s limit in the B.C. election was $4.88 million and it mattered not whether a party was running 10 candidates or 87. The there were third-party pop-up groups, some of which went dark the day before the writ dropped to avoid having to disclose their donors and spending. Elections B.C. is investigating one group after a Richmond NDP candidate, Chak Au, filed a complaint over the group’s tactics. In keeping with their dark-ops nature, King Chan — the only person identified in the group’s registration with Elections BC — told the Globe and Mail: “Obviously, I am a useless guy in the group. I’m pretty dumb. When they asked me to use my name, I agreed to it.” Chan wouldn’t name the bigger players, saying: “I don’t know them and I don’t want to.” Not to be outdone, the B.C. Liberal Party filed a complaint against two NDP MPs for alleged unregistered election advertising by distributing householders during the campaign.

It’s said to the victor go the spoils, something the Liberals have taken to heart when it comes to leveraging the perks of power. In the first three months of 2017, Premier Christy Clark racked up $40,313 in travel expenses, about $2,000 less than what she claimed for the 12 months following the 2013 election. If it could be upgraded or installed, a government news release was sure to go out. Between Jan. 1 and April 11, the government issued 1,148 releases, including reissuing releases from 2016. The title may be a misnomer, but 42 fact sheets materialized on a variety of hot-button issues, including Site C, LNG and softwood lumber. Parts of the 2013 “quick wins”strategy were dusted off to become the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s campaign for new highway stops of interest signs. There was the $15-million TV ad buy thenadvanced education minister Andrew Wilkinson, the minister responsible for government advertising at the time, claimed had been vetted by B.C.’s auditor general, Carol Bellringer. Wilkinson was taken to the woodshed by Bellringer shortly after that statement. Despite the Liberals’ best efforts to stack the deck in their favour, something interesting happened at the ballot box. The BC Greens received 185,702 more votes than they got in 2013. The NDP received 79,251 more votes and the Liberals enjoyed 1,398 more votes. Before any party thinks of forcing another election any time soon, they’d be well advised to remember an election costs $44 million.

“

”

Continue with the current binning methods now being followed, but implement an additional service that would see homeowners provided with two smaller tote boxes — one for glass and one for plastics. In many cities, including Vancouver, people use these small bins and are basically presorting their recyclables. These smaller bins could then be placed curbside with the other larger bins for pickup. That way, materials get to the recycling centre uncontaminated. As the company official stated, it’s not that they can’t recycle these materials, it is a matter of doing it correctly to ensure good recyclability, which is what we all want in the long run. Jean Gotro Kamloops

B.C. TAXPAYERS ON HOOK FOR FINANCIAL MESS Editor: The finances of the province are a mess. Regardless of which party or parties take over, there is no easy solution. If the province was a private business, it would have been in bankruptcy court long ago. As always, in the end it will be the taxpayer who will be set upon to pay the bills. The B.C. Liberal Party has raided the coffers of ICBC and BC Hydro to the point that these two Crown corporations will have no option but to increase the cost of their services. So, be prepared to pay higher insurance premium on your vehicle — and you might want to start

reducing your electricity usage because those costs will be rising. As always, it’s the taxpayer that gets it in the wallet. We are all stockholders, but unlike in the real world, we are unable to take anyone to court for fiscal mismanagement that borders on corruption. It is sad because there are some sleight-of-hand artists who deserve to spend some time in the crowbar hotel. With the calibre of politicians we have today ,it will be a cold day in hell before this province is ever out of debt. The words “promises” and “lies” are interchangeable. B. E. Borneman Chase

PAOLA LORIGGIO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The death of an American student who was returned home after being detained for 17 months in North Korea has brought renewed calls for political intervention in the case of a Canadian pastor serving a life sentence in that country. Hyeon Soo Lim’s family has issued a statement expressing condolences to the grieving relatives of Otto Warmbier, a 22-year-old student who died in a Cincinnati hospital Monday, roughly a week after being flown back to the U.S. for medical issues. Lim’s relatives say no families should go through such an ordeal, and urge the Canadian government to escalate diplomatic efforts to secure the pastor’s release.

LIM

WARMBIER

Lim, a pastor with the Light Korean Presbyterian Church west of Toronto, was sentenced in late 2015 to life in prison with hard labour by North Korea’s Supreme Court for what it called crimes against the state. The crimes Lim was charged with included harming the dignity of the supreme leadership, trying to use religion to destroy the North Korean system, disseminating negative propaganda about the North to overseas Koreans and helping U.S. and the South Korean authorities lure and abduct North Korean

citizens, along with aiding their programs to assist defectors from the North. Lim’s relatives and colleagues have said he travelled to North Korea on Jan. 31, 2014, as part of a regular humanitarian mission to the country where he supports a nursing home, a nursery and an orphanage. They said Lim has made more than 100 trips to North Korea since 1997 and that his trips were about helping people and were not political. “We strongly urge the Canadian government to place more attention on Reverend Lim’s case,’’ they said in Wednesday’s statement. “We are desperate to see our husband and father home, and we are pleading for an active escalation in diplomatic efforts.’’ A spokeswoman for the family is planning a news conference at the church Thursday.

Former B.C. Senators defy PM, Mountie delete escalator tax on trial for on booze from budget sex assault

OTTAWA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Senators are asserting their right to amend or defeat any government bill — including the budget — in defiance of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s contention that they should defer to the elected House of Commons on budgetary matters. The Senate gave final approval Wednesday to an amended version of the budget implementation bill, deleting provisions that would impose a so-called escalator tax on booze. The amended version of the bill now goes back to the Commons, where MPs must decide whether to accept or reject the Senate amendments. Trudeau has clearly signalled that the government won’t accept changes to its economic plan. He has contended that only the elected chamber has the legitimacy and authority to decide budget measures. He dodged Wednesday when repeatedly prodded by

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and other Tory MPs to say whether he’ll listen to the senators and drop the budget measure, which would allow the government to automatically increase the federal excise tax on beer, wine and spirits every year by the rate of inflation. Scheer called it a tax on ordinary, hardworking Canadians — the very middle class Trudeau has vowed to help. Trudeau didn’t mention the escalator tax on booze or the Senate’s decision to delete it. If, as expected, the Liberal majority rejects the Senate’s amended version, the budget bill will be bounced back to senators, who will have to decide whether to insist on the changes or bow to the will of the elected chamber. The amended version passed in the upper house Wednesday by a simple voice vote. A number of senators variously referred to the escalator tax as “a tax grab,’’ a tax hike “in perpetuity’’ and “taxation without representation.’’

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A former RCMP employee testified she was told she’d be considered a troublemaker if she reported inappropriate comments she said were made to her by a former inspector in B.C. who is on trial for alleged sexual assault. The woman, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, testified in provincial court Wednesday that she confided in a retired member of the force. She said she didn’t name the person who had commented on her breasts and said he wanted her to wear low-cut tops. The woman said the retired Mountie recommended that she speak with the individual to try and resolve the matter because reporting it would be difficult in the RCMP and an investigation into the allegations would be launched. Tim Shields, who was the media spokesman for the Mounties in B.C., has pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual assault.

One person suffered minor injuries at a campground but was released from hospital. “We do know that it was a severe windstorm,” Veer said. “We do know that there were exceedances of 112 km/h winds.” People posted images on social media of damage, including part of a roof that blew off a store and landed on nearby parked cars. Windows were blown out of the local mall and one video showed scenes of people wandering around the darkened building wondering if they had been hit by a tornado. Environment Canada said Red Deer was hit by one of a number of severe thunderstorms that rolled through the central part of the province Tuesday on the leading edge of a cold front. Meteorologist Dan Kulak said it was not a tornado. He called it a “low-end severe thunderstorm’’ and added that such storms happen every year in the province. “It was not a tornadic event. There is no evidence of tornadoes that we can find,’’ he said. “There were strong wind gusts across the province. It is not unusual.’’ Kulak said thunderstorm watches were issued by Environment Canada just before noon that said conditions were favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that could produce wind gusts, hail and heavy rain. Environment Canada updated the watch to a thunderstorm warning for the Red Deer area about 7:09 p.m., he said. The Red Deer airport reported peak wind gusts a few minutes later. Daelyn Hamill of Red Deer uploaded a picture of a giant spruce tree that had crashed onto the roof of his parents’ home. He urged people to “stay safe out there!’’ — The Canadian Press

A hero in bylaws

This weekend, they’re riding, not hiding ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Every year Phyllis Wilson throws her leg over her bike to begin Ride Don’t Hide, she thinks of those still looking for help. “I like to think I’m giving someone who is suffering from mental illness the chance to find a resource they can connect with to help them,” said Wilson, an administrative assistant at Hillside Centre in Kamloops. “I think we’re doing very well in Kamloops. There are so many resources available, but people have a difficult time admitting that they need a resource.” Ride Don’t Hide is a family-friendly bike ride shedding light on mental illness and the work of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). Entering its fifth year in 2017, the annual event aims to raise money for public education and clubhouse costs in Kamloops, while at the same time breaking the stigma associated with mental illness. One-hundred per cent of the funds raised in the Kamloops ride stay local. When KTW went to press on Wednesday, the local CMHA chapter had raised $10,760, 53 per cent of its goal of $20,000. The money is important to the local association, but changing attitudes surrounding mental illness is the larger goal.

“I don’t think people really understand that mental illness is the same as, say, someone going through cancer treatment,” said Shelley Trudeau, the property and officer manager for CMHA Kamloops and the local fundraiser team lead for Ride Don’t Hide. “The’ve been diagnosed and they’re going through cancer treatment. They’re trying their best to beat this illness but, in the end, the illness takes their life,” she continued. “For mental illness, it’s the same thing. People

can be in treatment, they can be doing all the right things, trying their best to overcome the illness that they have, but sometimes, at the end of the day, the illness still takes their life,” she said. “I think when people realize the similarities between a mental illness and a physical illness like that, it really makes people think differently.” Ride Don’t Hide 2017 will take place this Sunday at 9 a.m. in Westsyde’s Centennial Park, with fivekilometre, 10-km and 23-km rides beginning and ending at the park. Participants can register in advance online at ridedonthide.com or in Centennial Park on the day of the race between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. Guest speakers and a barbecue will be held after riders return to Westsyde. Wilson hopes the event will change some attitudes in the community surrounding mental health, noting overcoming mental illness isn’t as simple as just going for a walk or having a better attitude. “People who suffer from mental-health illnesses often think they have to suffer alone,” Wilson said. “They sometimes isolate themselves so others won’t judge them, bully them or stigmatize them. “There’s many local resources available to those who need them . . . I think it takes a village and we certainly have the support of our community here in Kamloops.”

Our elderly mom recently had her garden wagon stolen from her property. It upset her quite a lot and she felt angered by the theft as she used the wagon to tend to her plants and carry heavy water jugs. So, naturally, it was missed. She spoke to police and was directed to the city’s bylaws department. A bylaw officer came by the house to take a report. He also mentioned he had a wagon he could get his son to fix for our mom. Then he left. We really were surprised when, a few days later, the bylaw officer and his son dropped over with a wagon for our mom. She was thrilled to tell me the news when I got home from work. Their kind gesture put a smile back on our mom’s face and definitely brightened her day. More so, the duo restored our faith..

CANADIAN MOSAIC PROJECT IN TOWN FRIDAY

To Canada, with love SOON #118-1950 Harvey Ave, Kelowna BC

(SPALL PLAZA / LONDON DRUGS) 1.866.763.1473

Tim Van Horn came through Kamloops two summers ago and KTW detailed his Canadian Mosaic Project. Twenty-two months later, Van Horn is back with his finished product — 54,000 portraits of Canadians taken during a sevenyear journey that saw him traverse the country five times. The 54,000 portraits in the mosaic represent .150 per cent of Canada’s population, with the .00150 tied into this year being Canada’s 150th birthday. Van Horn’s travelling pavilion of portraits will be in Kamloops this Friday, where it will be on display at the Kamloops Museum and Archives from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Also on hand for the event will be the Kamloops Art Council’s Rivertown Players and Downtown Kamloops’ Cap Team with interactive games. There will be tai chi from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., live music from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and yoga from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. “On my end, I sort of see myself on this pilgrimage, to embrace the culture, embrace the people and bring us together into

this true life story of who we are,” Van Horn told KTW during his last visit to Kamloops. “I honestly believe this is my calling, that this is something I have been working towards my whole life.” Originally set to be a year-long journey across the nation, the project evolved as Van Horn crisscrossed the nation, covering thousands of kilometres. Van Horn was a commercial photographer before embarking on his pilgrimage. Taking pictures is what he has always wanted to do, but there was a day he decided he had had enough with corporate offices and glamour shots. “I had one month where I was either going to shoot the Royal Bank agricultural calendar or go see 40 grain elevators that were going to be smashed,” Van Horn said. He chose the grain elevators. Before long, Van Horn was travelling around Alberta in search of the familiar structures, staying one step ahead of their demolition for four years as he documented an important piece of Prairie life. Van Horn never went back to

corporate life, instead embarking on one photography project after another. The project was financed entirely by donation, supporters sponsoring a kilometre for $20. Every cent went into either Van Horn’s fridge or gas tank, getting him and his vehicle to the next destination. Van Horn is now touring the country in what he calls the Canadian Pavilion — a 40-foot bus wired for multimedia and sound and wrapped in the Canadian Mosaic Project. The photos are interwoven with 13 ribbons of text — one for each province and territory — filled with inspirational quotes, words of wisdom and encouragement. “What I’ve learned is, we need inspiration in this country,” Van Horn said. “I see it as taking this thing and not saying Canada is the best country, but going and saying, ‘Hey, this is your life, this is how beautiful it is, this is the philosophy of life and living.’” To learn more about the Canadian Mosaic Project, go online to canadianmosaic.ca.

The Pokotillo Ukrainian Dance Group has had a busy year and will cap it off with a weekend performance at the Centre for Seniors Information in the Brock Shopping Centre. The group will also be in Riverside Park on Canada Day.

Pokotillo dancers take the stage GROUP’S YEAR-END SHOW SET FOR THIS SATURDAY AFTERNOON The Pokotillo Ukrainian Dancers will stage their year-end show this Saturday afternoon. The 2 p.m. show will take place at the Centre for Seniors Information Activity Centre in unit 9A in the Brock Shopping Centre at Tranquille Road and Desmond Street. The show is a fundraiser for the dance troupe, with tickets on sale for $10 (adults) and $8 (seniors and children). Tickets can be purchased at the door. There will also be a bake sale and silent auction. The performers will be show-

casing their dances and will feature the following guests: Kala Afreen Bollywood Dancers, Moku Hula Polynesian Dancers and Shalni Prowse School of Highland Dance. Pokotillo was founded 14 years ago and has dancers ranging in ages from seven to adult. “Pokotillo” is a CanadianUkrainian word meaning “tumbleweed” and was chosen as the group’s name because it represents both the quick, fast steps of Ukrainian dance and the home city of Kamloops. The group dances and per-

forms from September to July, culminating its season with a performance at the Canada Day celebration in Riverside Park. During the dance year, the Pokotillo dancers perform at a variety of venues in the city and surrounding area. They also regularly compete at the B.C. Ukrainian Cultural Festival in Mission, from where they brought back trophies in 2017 and 2016. For more information about the Pokotillo Ukrainian Dancers, call 250-299-5898 or email PokotilloDancers@yahoo.ca.

Closure coming MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

This will be a great time to go outside and enjoy parks, trails and summer weather. That is the City of Kamloops’ polite way of saying in a press release the Tournament Capital Centre fieldhouse will be inaccessible for about twoand-a-half months while renovations are completed, with the closure date set for June 27. General contractor Acres Enterprises is in charge of replacing the indoor

track, along with one of the fieldhouse’s courts, in a $1.85 million project that is already underway. “This is a specialized flooring product, highly coveted in the track-andfield environment, basically an Olympic-level flooring surface, so it would open the TCC up to more events on an international level,” said Matt Kachel, capital projects supervisor for the City of Kamloops. The Mondotrack — manufactured in Italy — will be installed by Quebecbased Carpell Surfaces. There is a floor-surface

sample in the fieldhouse by the stairwell. “This is the gold standard for competitive trackand-field flooring,” Kachel said. The TCC’s north court will be transformed, with new hardwood flooring to replace a plastic surface that has plagued bids to attract some larger tournaments. Demolition has already begun and the new court will open along with the Mondotrack in early September, barring any project setbacks, according to Kachel.

The 2010 Keystone Cup will remain the Kamloops Storm’s first and only appearance at the Western Canadian junior B championship. Storm general manager Barry Dewar told KTW the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League has elected to permanently withdraw from the annual championship, citing rising costs, age differences across the provinces and safety issues as the causes. “We’ve been saying the same thing for years,” Dewar said. “It seems like when it’s in B.C., it’s really good. When it’s in Alberta, it’s not so bad. In Saskatchewan, it gets a little worse and then Manitoba and Ontario, it gets really unsafe for your players. One guy was telling us that one year, not this year, but one year in Manitoba, they actually had to dress in a root cellar, carry their skates to the rink and put their skates on in the stands.” And it’s not only B.C. that is pulling its teams from the western championship. Ted Graling, president of the North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League, whose Wainwright Bisons won the 2017 Keystone Cup, said Hockey Alberta decided as a governing body before this year’s tournament that its junior B teams will no longer attend the Western Canadian championship. “This was the last year we will be attending Westerns as well,” Graling said. “That was a Hockey Alberta decision. “It’s a little economic. It had nothing to do with not wanting to be involved, because there’s a tonne of history and heritage with the Keystone Cup.” Examining the economics, Dewar said the cost of sending a team to the Keystone Cup — at which Kamloops made its first and only appearance when it hosted the tournament in 2010, finishing third — was approaching $60,000. Leagues in Manitoba and Ontario also allow older players to play in junior B and their facilities are not up to the standard of those farther west. “$50,000 for 22 guys to go to, not even a national championship, but just a championship, is a lot of money,” Dewar said. Someone might want to inform the rest of Western Canada about the decisions

made in B.C. and Alberta. Speaking with KTW on Friday, Derek Derow, senior manager of operations for the Saskatchewan Hockey Association, maintained all five provinces will be represented at the 2017 Keystone. “Nobody is pulling out,” he maintained, even after hearing what KTW had been told by the other provinces. “Obviously, there’s some dissenting voices from the leagues themselves in Alberta and B.C. Until we hear any different from the branches, the provincial governing bodies, we’re status quo. “We’ve been contacted from a couple of teams within our league and they’re asking the same thing. We’re just telling them it’s status quo until we hear anything different from the branch itself.” Keegan Goodrich, BC Hockey’s manager of communications, confirmed the province will not be in attendance. “BC Hockey does not mandate that our teams participate in regional or national events,” he said. “They choose to submit their intent to participate. I was not in their meeting, but apparently, all three leagues said they didn’t want to send a team next year to the Keystone.” Hockey Alberta and Northern Ontario’s Lakehead Junior Hockey League, the host league of the 2018 Keystone Cup, did not return requests for comment, but Hockey Manitoba was stunned by the news from its western counterparts. “No one said anything to us,” said Rick Olson, president and commissioner of the Keystone Junior Hockey League and the director of junior B for Hockey Manitoba. “It’s going to be played in Ontario next time and it’s the first time in nine years that they got it . . . that sure kicks Ontario in the ass.” Olson believes Northern Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan will still compete for the Cup this year. Dewar said the hope now is to make the Cyclone Taylor Cup, the annual junior B provincial championship in B.C., bigger and better. “We have an idea that we have yet to fully develop where anywhere from six teams, two from each junior B league, compete for a championship that means something,” he said. “Maybe someday we extend that into Alberta or Saskatchewan because they are serious about their junior B hockey, or more so serious than other places.”

Blazers make trade, announce staff Dan Gatenby was the odd man out on the Kamloops Blazers’ blue line. On Monday, Kamloops traded the 19-year-old defenceman to the Tri-City Americans in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft. “We have an influx of young defencemen ready to step into our lineup this upcoming season,” Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor said in a press release. “We believe this gives Dan a chance to play regularly and also allows us to give our young players opportunity.” Joe Gatenby, 20, Ondrej Vala, 19, Nolan Kneen, 18, and Luke Zazula, 17, will likely be the Blazers’ topfour D-men, with Tylor Ludwar, 18, and Devan Harrison, 17, returning to the fold. Sean Strange, 17,

Dan Gatenby was traded to Tri-City on Monday.

Quinn Schmiemann, who turns 17 on July 27, and Jimmy Darby, 16, are among the Kamloops rearguards expected to push for roster spots at training camp. The Blazers acquired brothers Dan and Joe from the Kelowna Rockets in August, with forward Jake Kryski going the other way.

Staff complexion

The Kamloops Blazers have announced their hockey operations staff for the 2017-2018 season. Don Hay will return as head coach for his fourth season behind the bench. Hay rejoined the Blazers in time for the 2014-2015 season after spending 10 seasons in Vancouver.

Hay’s first tenure with the Blazers ran from 1986 to 1995 and included three Memorial Cup victories. Assistant coach Mike Needham, part-time assistant coach Chris Murray and goaltending coach Dan De Palma will return to their roles. The Blazers will not replace assistant coach Terry Bangen, who joined the Worcester Railers of the East Coast Hockey League. Bangen is an assistant coach with the expansion franchise. Railers’ head coach Jamie Russell, from Kamloops, played under Bangen with the Cariboo College Chiefs in the 1980s. In the scouting department, Matt Recchi will continue in his role as the Blazers’ director of player personnel and Ken Fox returns as head scout. Colin (Toledo) Robinson will be back for his 13th season as the team’s trainer.

Blaze seek B.C. title Two playoff wins have secured the under-15 Kamloops Blaze’s spot at the girls’ Provincial B Cup championships, which run from July 6 to July 9 in Surrey. Kamloops downed Salmon Arm 2-0 on Saturday and Kelowna 3-0 on Sunday, with both games played on McArthur Island, to earn the right to represent the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League (TOYSL) at provincials. Jordyn Lodermeier (2G), Natalie Knight (2G) and Ashley Irvine had goals for the Blaze, who went with Kila Pigeon between the pipes.

Henderson recharging ADAM STANLEY

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canadian Brooke Henderson returned home on Wednesday to recharge after her first LPGA Tour victory of the season and help promote this summer’s CP Women’s Open near her hometown. Her recent putting woes in the past, it was a confident Henderson who attended a media day at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, the host facility for the national open, which will run from Aug. 24 to Aug. 27. Henderson’s short game was in form last week as she captured the Meijer LPGA Classic with a two-shot win. She followed that up Monday by sinking the winning putt for

her team at a charity event with pros from the LPGA, PGA and Champions tours. Not a bad stretch for the 19-year-old star from Smiths Falls, Ont. “To be able to come home and celebrate with family and friends in Ottawa . . . it was so much fun,’’ Henderson said. “It’s been that extra boost I needed, especially with a long stretch on the schedule coming up. “This has definitely been the highlight of my year, this week.’’ Henderson led all LPGA Tour players with 31 tournament appearances. She has been a little more selective this season in her second full year on tour. It also allows her some breathing room before heading to

the Chicago area as the defending champion at next week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. In addition, the U.S. Women’s Open is fast approaching in midJuly and the Women’s British Open is set for early August. Henderson said she’s determined to stay mentally and physically sharp during this critical part of the season. “Major championships are very tough mentally,’’ she said. “To have three so close together you have to give yourself some rest time . . . but physically I feel like my game is in a great place. “Hopefully, I can keep that up and with a good mentality I can come away with some great finishes.’’

Highland Games approaching Dust off the kilt and fire up the bagpipes — the Kamloops Highland Games are approaching. A bonnie wee day it promises to be on Saturday, July 8, at McGowan Park (2025 Summit Dr.), with gates scheduled to open at 7 a.m. Individual piping, drumming and highland dancing contests get underway at 8:30 a.m., with the heavy events parade slated for 9:30 a.m. and the competition set to begin at 10:30 a.m. The six-time world champion Simon Fraser University Pipe Band will perform following the opening ceremony, which starts at 12:30 p.m. The pipe band competition will hit its first note at 2 p.m. There will be a beer garden, Scotch whisky tasting booths, food vendors, children’s heavy events, a bouncy castle and access to the water park.

CHINA PROPELS RISE OF ELECTRIC ULTRA-HIGH-PERFORMANCE CARS JOE MCDONALD

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — Want an insanely fast ride with zero emissions? Startup NIO has the car: an electric two-seater with muscular European lines and a top speed of 313 km/h. The catch? The EP9 costs nearly US$1.5 million. NIO, a ChineseWestern hybrid with bases in Shanghai, London and Silicon Valley, created it to showcase the company’s technology and had no sales plans. But it is taking orders for “bespoke vehicles’’ after hearing from buyers ready to pay the eyepopping price. “We are actually pleasantly surprised how much interest we are getting,’’ said the CEO of NIO’s U.S. unit, Padmasree Warrior, a veteran of Cisco and Motorola. NIO is part of a wave of fledgling automakers — all backed at least in part by Chinese investors — that are propelling the electric vehicle industry’s latest trend: ultra-highperformance cars. Manufacturers including Detroit Electric, Qiantu Motor, Thunder Power and

NEVS aim to compete with Europe, Detroit and Japan by offering top speeds over 240 km/h and features including carbon-fibre bodies and web-linked navigation and entertainment. The ventures mix U.S. and European technology with Chinese money and manufacturing, reflecting North America as a market and investor for an industry in which Beijing wants a leading role. Communist leaders see electric vehicles as a way to clear China’s smog-choked cities and as an engine for economic development. “We really haven’t seen non-Chinese companies get into this super-technology market,’’ said Chris

Robinson, who follows the industry for Lux Research. NIO’s backers include Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings, operator of the popular WeChat messaging service; computer maker Lenovo Group, a Singapore governmentowned investment fund and U.S.-based IDG Capital, TPG and Hillhouse Capital. Some brands are following the strategy of Tesla Inc., which debuted with an eyecatching roadster to establish a premium image before launching lower-priced models. The instant torque and acceleration of electric cars make them natural

performance vehicles. Detroit Electric, a revival of a pioneering U.S. electric car brand founded in 1907, launched a sports car venture this year with a Chinese battery maker and the government of Yixing, west of Shanghai. For a base price of $135,000, the company promises zero to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. The first seven of 100 cars ordered by European dealers have been delivered, according to its chairman and CEO, Albert Lam, a former Lotus chief executive. He said the company aims to release an SUV in 2018 and wants to have a four-vehicle lineup by 2020.

“Our target is to be the first Chinese-based vehicle company to sell worldwide,’’ Lam said. Thunder Power, led by Hong Kong entrepreneur Wellen Sham, has a similarly multinational plan for a sport sedan due out in late 2018. The company is building a factory in southern China and plans a second in Spain. Engineering work is being handled by Italy’s Dallara Automobili, which helped develop Bugatti’s Veyron, the fastest street-legal car with a top speed of 408.84 km/h. Thunder Power promises a top speed of 245 km/h. The company said its competitive edge will be a battery that can

go up to 650 kilometres on one charge, or almost double the 320 to 400 kilometres of current high-end electrics. Beijing’s backing has helped to make China the biggest electric vehicle market at a time of uncertainty about the scale of support for the industry from Washington and European governments. Sales in China of plug-in and hybrid vehicles in the first quarter of this year totalled 55,929, versus 44,876 for the United States. The cabinet hopes to have 100,000 public charging stations and 800,000 private stations operating by the end of this year. Regulators are press-

ing manufacturers to speed up development with a proposal to require that electrics account for at least eight per cent of each brand’s production by next year. Still, no matter how appealing they are, there aren’t enough buyers to support so many highperformance brands, said Lux’s Robinson. He noted Ferrari or Lamborghini might sell only 15 of their fastest vehicles, which are treated as marketing tools and, even at prices above $1 million, fail to make a profit. Manufacturers wanting to move into lowerpriced segments face a crowded market, he said. “Really, not all of them are going to make it,’’ Robinson said. Despite that, the newcomers express confidence they can take market share from established rivals. NIO’s Warrior points to the transition from cellphones to smartphones, in which industry leaders were displaced by upstarts. “We are in the beginning of a race,” said Christopher Nicoll, marketing director for Thunder Power. “We are all at the same starting position.’’

Andrew “Drew” was born on October 21, 1997 in Kamloops, BC. A kind hearted soul who cared for family, friends, animals and tie dye!

May 16, 1931 – June 22, 2016 A year has passed since you went away, I miss you and I think of you every single day.

Each Loss

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Love Your wife Phyllis and children.

Richard Baker It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Baker on June 12, 2017 surrounded by family, holding the hand of his loving wife. Richard was dearly loved and will be forever missed by his wife Jacqui, daughter Elaine (Todd) Smith, son Richard Jr. (Suzy) Baker and grandchildren Taylor, Ethan, Rich and Grayden. His memory will also be cherished by his sisters Pauline (Ron) Manser, Diane (Bob) Price and brothers-in-law Terry (Cheri) Rowe and Frank (Gail) Rowe. Richard was born on February 2, 1942 in Prince George and then lived in Ocean Falls until age 26. During his time in Ocean Falls, he worked at the Paper Mill spending much time and experiencing many adventures with his best friends John and Don. In 1964, Richard married the love of his life Jacqueline and they left Ocean Falls shortly after their daughter Elaine was born. Richard continued to work as a millwright in Prince George before eventually settling in Kamloops where their son Richard Jr. was born. Richard’s greatest joy came from his grandchildren who affectionately referred to him as Bubba. Whether it was watching a dance recital, a rowing regatta, or a hockey or baseball game he was always there cheering proudly. In recent years Richard enjoyed Monday coffee with his Weyerhaeuser buddies as well as Friday visits with the boys at the garage. Richard was an avid outdoorsman and thoroughly enjoyed his many hunting adventures and fishing trips! Always the great story teller, we will miss hearing about the Ocean Falls days and the many adventures Dad had in his youth. How lucky we were to have you with us for 75 years. ‘You may be gone from my sight...but you are never gone from my heart.’ There is no formal service at Richard’s request Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of Ray Bertoli

May 16, 1931 – June 22, 2016

HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him and whispered, “Come with me.” With tear filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away. Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

Lots of Love

Brother Ross (Moe) and Sisters Jean and Betty (Edson)

William (Bill) Lennox Longtime Kamloops resident Bill Lennox died on Friday, June 16, 2017. Born in Fort Frances, Ontario on March 22, 1928, he was the only son of the Rev. Harry Lennox and Margaret (Graham) Lennox, who died four months after his birth. In 1930 his father married Helen Ellwood of Fort Frances. The family moved to Banff in 1931 and came to Vancouver in 1937. Bill was educated at Kerrisdale Elementary, Point Grey Junior High, Magee High School and U.B.C. After teacher training he taught for a year in Surrey. In 1952, he came to the newly opened Kamloops High School where he taught until December 1982, except for a two-year leave from 1961-1963 at the D.N.D. school in Soest, Germany. His time there was one of the highlights of his 33 years in the profession. Bill was pre-deceased by his father in 1995 and his step-mother in 2007. He is survived by his wife Mary Cameron, his two half-sisters Ann Mitton of Nanaimo and Joan Porter of Vancouver and their families. No funeral service by request.

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. 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. 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.”

Margaret Fishback Powers

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.
