A woman rescued from her burning mobile home on Monday morning has died. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the woman — identified by friends as Fiona France — succumbed to her injuries after being taken to Royal Inland Hospital. The fire, deemed by investigators to be suspicious, occurred at about 3:30 a.m. in trailer No. 3 in the Westsyde Mobile Home Park at 811 Grant Rd. The blaze also damaged an adjacent mobile home, from which a family escaped unscathed.

Quick response lauded From A1
Dunn said he looked out his window and saw the home engulfed in flames. “Firetruck showed up shortly after and extinguished some of the flames and brought somebody lifeless out of the house and tried to resuscitate her,” he said. “I don’t know what happened after that.” Dunn described the flames as enormous, leading to trailer No. 4 catching fire. He lauded Kamloops firefighters for their quick response. “They were here within minutes of me waking up and that was at 3:36 a.m., I think.” Dunn said. Ryan Hammer, who lives in trailer No. 1, said he called
the fire department. He told KTW he awoke to use the washroom and was out on his porch for a cigarette when he noticed the fire. “All of a sudden, I saw all this flame and stuff,” Hammer said, adding he heard crackling and multiple bangs, which he described as minor in nature. He said he saw paramedics performing CPR on France, noting someone alerted a family that lives in house No. 4 who escaped their home unscathed. Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Mike Adams said all fires are considered suspicious until investigators have had time to determine cause and origin. Kamloops RCMP is asking anyone with information about the fire to contact them at 250828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The Union of BC Municipalities has appointed a panel to review convention financing in the wake of a controversy over a China-sponsored reception. However, the China event will proceed this year. UBCM president Arjun Singh said the organization wants to do its homework and remains cautious about cancelling the reception. “It hasn’t been a unanimous point of view from across the province from people who we have heard of so far,” Singh said. “We’ve only heard from a subsection of the UBCM membership. The sponsorship review is designed to be a comprehensive, thoughtful review of all of our sponsorships, be able to spend time engaging with the entire membership on those issues.” The reception has been criticized as cash for access. The Chinese government contributes about $6,000 in sponsorship dollars to host a reception for B.C.’s municipal politicians at UBCM’s annual convention. Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West first brought up the issue in light of soured Canada-China relations and China’s poor human rights record. He went online to criticize UBCM’s decision, calling it an “embarrassing cop out.” “It shouldn’t require a panel of politicians and ex-politicians to figure out that accepting money from a hostile foreign government is wrong,” West tweeted. The panel is composed of six past and present politicians and UBCM presidents, including Frank

Leonard (former mayor of Saanich and UBCM president), Wendy Booth (former Regional District of East Kootenay director and UBCM president), Sav Shaliwal (Metro Vancouver Regional District chair and former UBCM president), Rhona Martin (Columbia Shuswap Regional District chair and former UBCM president) and Greg Moore (former mayor of Port Coquitlam and UBCM representative). It will be up to B.C.’s elected officials to choose whether they will attend the reception. KTW contacted local municipal politicians to ask if they will attend the China reception, if they are attending the UBCM convention in Vancouver from Sept. 23 to Sept. 27. Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dale Bass, Dieter Dudy, Mike O’Reilly and Denis Walsh will not attend the reception. Councillors Kathy Sinclair and Bill Sarai are uncertain if they will attend. First-time UBCM attendee Bass, in her first term on Kamloops council, disagreed with the UBCM accepting money from China to hold the reception. “I see it as superfluous,” she said. “I don’t see a reason to go, for me. It’s not my job to develop trade relations for the nation. I don’t agree with the UBCM having it. I don’t have all of the rationale that they’re applying, but to me, it just seems irrelevant to how I do my job.” Dudy has not attended the reception in four years of attending the convention — and he’s not about to start now. “I just haven’t ever seen the sentiment,” Dudy said. “To me, going to one that’s, say, the concrete association, the pipeline association, the rail
association. Those all make sense to me because they’re trying to deal with you to talk about infrastructure within your cities. “What the hell does the People’s Republic of China want?” While neither Bass nor Dudy would go so far as to say they would boycott the event, O’Reilly took a firmer stance. Though he will not be at the convention, as it coincides with a trip to Hill 70 in France to honour local First World War veteran Frederick Lee, O’Reilly said he would not support the reception if he were attending, due to Canadian-Chinese relations. “I look at that if it were to be one of my family members that were in detention in China,” O’Reilly said. “Not just, quote unquote, a Canadian, but one of my family members. That’s how I look at it. That’s my deciding factor.” Walsh called for a ban on all international sponsorships. “Next year, maybe we’ll be upset at Germany,” he said. “Who knows? I just think, why are they allowing international countries [to sponsor UBCM events]?” Singh said Walsh’s proposal is a possibility as the UBCM undergoes its review. Asked what he would say to those choosing not to attend the reception, Singh said: “It’s absolutely your choice to go or not to go. It’s always been your choice.” Singh said he will attend as president of UBCM, though he did add a caveat when asked about this issue last month. “I probably wouldn’t go to the China reception if I wasn’t president of the UBCM,” Singh told KTW.

Businesses want area cleaned up A CALL FOR CHANGES TO IH’S SUPERVISED DRUG-USE SITE PROGRAM JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Downtown businesses organized a meeting last week with Interior Health, Kamloops RCMP, the City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association to discuss cleaning up the streets. Papa G’s Cafe owner Gerald Thiessen said drug dealing, loitering, garbage, improperly discarded needles and bodily fluids are a problem near his restaurant, which is at 561 Seymour St., leading to customers and staff feeling unsafe. “Several businesses are just fed up with it,” Thiessen told KTW. “It’s in the alleys. It’s in front of our buildings. It’s in the streets. It’s everywhere.” Thiessen does not wish to point fingers, but wants solutions, such as increased police and bylaws presence or moving the supervised drug-use site (a mobile RV operated by IH), which is stationed two doors down, at 569 Seymour St., home to the Crossroads Inn. Kamloops Coun. Bill Sarai attended the meeting and empathized with business owners. He added he has heard of
seniors who won’t come out of their homes and day cares that won’t take kids to certain areas of downtown, all during the day. Sarai suggested moving the supervised drug-use site to the parking lot of the emergency department at Royal Inland Hospital, rather than stationing in amid businesses. “To me, that’s a no brainer,” Sarai said. Tara Mochizuki, Interior Health’s manager for community mental health and substance use, disagreed, arguing the harm-reduction service should be in the community. “If they are acutely medically ill, then that’s what the hospital is there for,” Mochizuki said. “People who are using drugs certainly have some difficulties, but they’re often social problems that we need to address, as opposed to medical problems that we need to address.” Mochizuki said social issues predate the supervised druguse sites, with the two locations — the second located is at the ASK Wellness Society site in North Kamloops, at 422 Tranquille Rd. — chosen specifically because they are where people in need of the services already gather. Other factors, she said,
include the Cariboo wildfire evacuation two years ago that drew people to Kamloops who stayed, coinciding with the sites opening. In hearing the concerns of businesses, Mochizuki said Interior Health is willing to explore alternative options. Its current Health Canada exemption is limited to those two addresses, but a review is underway of the operating hours and locations. No timeline for completion of the review could be provided. Asked what alternative options could look like, Mochizuki said: “I’m not sure. It’s a bit premature to talk about that yet, but we are looking at alternative options, recognizing that actually both the sites have certain difficulties associated with them at this point.” In addition to concerns expressed by downtown business owners, construction along West Victoria Street has led to less usage of the North Shore site. In the short-term, Mochizuki said Interior Health is working on moving the RV from the downtown site to Mission Flats Road when not in operation, rather than have it remain parked at the Crossroads Inn when not in use.
The supervised drug-use sites have restricted days and hours: • Downtown location is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. • North Kamloops location is open Tuesdays to Fridays from noon to 3:30 p.m. “It will cut down on the visibility of the supervised consumption site,” Mochizuki said of moving the RV when not in use. “I’m hoping we can get it all organized by the end of the week.” Meanwhile, Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police patrol by foot and bike through the summer, with extra presence at special events. She said Mounties prioritize emergencies. “They’re not seeing us, but they’re out there daily,” Shelkie said. Drug dealing and loitering are considered criminal matters, while garbage, improperly discarded needles and bodily fluids are considered bylaw infractions. Shelkie advised businesses to keep the dialogue going and contact police at any time by calling 250-828-3000. The city’s bylaws department can be reached at 250-828-3409.

Ancestral remains exhumed, returned to Tk’emlups JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Ancestral remains have been exhumed from West Victoria Street and the major road project continues downtown, with the first phase expected to wrap up on schedule at the end of July. City of Kamloops capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the remains were exhumed last week. An anthropologist from Vancouver arrived to work with archeologists, with the remains handed over to Tk’emlups te Secwepemc, likely to be reburied on the reserve. Crundwell said the project went according to plan. “Good. That’s why we planned the way we did,” he said. “We’re working with Tk’emlups and the archeologists. Yes, there was an impact to construction — we couldn’t work in that area — but we kept building and dealt with everything properly, which is the most important thing.”
The remains were discovered on June 26 by construction crews working in the area as part of the $13-million West Victoria Street reconstruction project, which includes repaving of the road, utility replacement and pedestrian upgrades. The area is among the oldest in the city. Work on the section of road where the remains were discovered was halted immediately, following archeological protocol, and the remains were determined to be “unmodern,” dating to pre-European settlement in the area. Crews had skipped over the area and continued labouring farther along West Victoria Street, to ensure work continued on the project, which is impacting traffic and businesses in the area. As a result of the discovery, Crundwell said some of the infrastructure has moved, to prevent further digging and disturbance of potential artifacts. The city doesn’t actively look for

more artifacts. Instead, crews screens soils in the area dug up and moves along. “The preferred option of dealing with the archeology from the province’s perspective and the First Nations perspective is to leave it alone,” he said. With the remains exhumed, the black barricade has been removed and crews have returned to the area. “I think Tuesday morning, it was confirmed everything was out of there,” Crundwell said. “And we had done what we needed to do. They’re likely working in that area right now, installing Silva cells and infrastructure.” The archeological site has been registered into a provincial database.

UBCM CONTINUES TO BE TONE DEAF
F
or a paltry $6,000 this year (and for chump change of about $50,000 for the past eight years), the Union of B.C. Municipalities has bought itself much more in dubious publicity. The organization that represents municipalities in the province holds an annual convention in September. Since 2012, the government of China has paid the UBCM for the right to host a reception and be listed in the convention’s annual program. Nobody seemed to mind until this year, when Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West correctly pointed out that the UBCM should not be taking money from the Chinese government, one that has essentially kidnapped two Canadians in retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Meng Wanzhou, a senior executive with Huawei Technologies on an extradition request from the U.S. UBCM president Arjun Singh — who is also a Kamloops councillor — refuses to take a stand either way, arguing there hasn’t yet been a unanimous point of view from UBCM members. We’d counter that not all issues require consensus. Not all issues deserve to go to a vote. Some issues are black and white — and this is one of them. China is a country bereft of human rights and one that punishes countries that refuse to bend to its authoritarian will. It is not Canada’s ally and certainly does not deserve the right to pay to wine and dine municipal politicians. The UBCM has assembled a panel of politicians — most, if not all, of whom created this mess — to determine what to do in the future. This September, however, will include the China-sponsored reception. West is absolutely on the mark when he said, “It shouldn’t require a panel of politicians and ex-politicians to figure out that accepting money from a hostile foreign government is wrong.” And Dieter Dudy, one of many Kamloops councillors who said they will not attend the reception if they make their way to the fall convention, offered up a simple, yet powerful statement on the issue. Noting there are legitimate groups holding receptions to talk infrastructure and other related issues, Dudy added, “What the hell does the People’s Republic of China want?”

Losing by selling weed?
L
icensed private marijuana stores are finally starting to flower in B.C., with StarBud launching in the Okanagan and Clarity Cannabis aiming for a September opening in Prince Rupert, among others. Meanwhile, the (cough) informal marijuana market seems to be rolling along as B.C. wanders toward the first anniversary of cannabis legalization. Here in Victoria, retail stores started opening up years ago, usually with some token nod to “medical” customers, and our famously inept city council started issuing business licences well in advance of federal legalization. Why? Well, Vancouver was doing it and, in both of these Left Coast social laboratories, federal laws may be viewed more as suggestions. (For example, just declare yourself a “sanctuary city” and instruct your police not to inquire into anyone’s citizenship status. Poof! No more Canadian immigration law.) In the weed business, illegal operators seem to be doing better than federal and provincial wholesale monopolies. In some cities, consumers have no ready way to tell if a pot store is provincially approved or has even bothered with a business licence. Government competition has caused the black market to sharpen its pencils. Statistics Canada estimates that as legal weed prices rise above $10 a gram, illegal producers are cutting consumer costs down toward $5 per gram.
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA The B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch is doing a great job on its slick-looking retail chain — in Kamloops, anyway. The home of the first B.C. Cannabis Store now has two, with a third set to open this summer — and people are lining up to apply for the intensive training offered for unionized “budtenders.” Anticipating the price problem, the LDB was restrained to a mere 15 per cent wholesale markup. Its monopoly on federally licensed suppliers is an extension of its liquor wholesale monopoly, which marks up a bottle of hard liquor by 124 per cent, whether it’s sold in a public or private retail store. You then pay taxes on top of that. Local politicians are preparing for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September, where the discussion about their cut of B.C. revenues will no doubt continue. (Another topic is the local share of fine revenue from the “not photo radar” cameras that
will soon be issuing speeding tickets by mail.) The LDB also has the online cannabis sales monopoly, where you can use your credit card to order products with names like Kinky Kush that come in amazingly over-packaged Canada Post secure deliveries. A few, er, kinks still need to be straightened out in this government workers’ paradise, such as popular strains running out and others arriving mouldy from sitting too long in a warehouse. Growers and grey-market dispensary operators warned early on that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s vision of legalization would lead to shortages. One buzz-killing result of this is the accusation that a publicly traded grower in Ontario concealed the true size of its crop from Health Canada inspectors. Perhaps their chosen brand, CannTrust, wasn’t the best one. I hope you don’t spend too much time on Twitter, but if you do, check the hashtag #4plantscup. There, you will find experts competing to maximize the yield from the four cannabis plants individuals are now allowed to grow at home for personal use. This is perhaps the biggest long-term threat to the provincial-federal monopoly. As long as home grows are kept discreetly out of sight and don’t obviously exceed size and commercial restrictions, police will devote their time to more pressing concerns. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TRANSIT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT Editor: Local transit schedules in the summer seem to have been cut back, to the point where it takes an hour to get from North Kamloops to Sahali. I regularly go up the hill for grocery shopping and the trip time is doubled with the horrible summer schedule. The timing of the transfer points needs to be improved. It seems not to be given any consideration at all. Buses from North Kamloops should connect at transfer points without a nearly half-hour wait. There should be co-ordination to allow riders to transfer buses without long waits.
Ila Watson, widow of Brian Watson, speaks to Kamloops This Week in June of 2016.
LEGAL OUTCOME OF FATAL CRASH ‘COMPLETE TRAVESTY’
I get the impression the people who make the schedules have had no experience waiting for buses. People who work for transit scheduling should take transit several times a month to understand how it works. Certainly there is decreased bus traffic in the summer because Thompson Rivers University isn’t in session. But local people — seniors, moms, kids on break, car-free residents and tourists — are still using the system all summer long. Or they are trying to if they don’t give up and go home. I‘m 65 and once it’s really hot, waiting
at a bus stop for 25 minutes is not just unacceptable, it’s unhealthy — especially if a person has the misfortune to be at one of the many, many bus stops with no seat or shelter. I have never driven a car and always advocate for public transit use. Thoughtless scheduling that doesn’t consider the comfort of the customers would discourage a lot of people from ever using the bus. Shouldn’t there be some incentive to provide efficient service to encourage people to leave their cars at home? Gayle Hunter Kamloops
POSING A QUESTION ON NAME PRONUNCIATION
Editor: Re: KTW’s front-page article of July 10 (‘Driver who killed motorcyclist gets absolute discharge’): The B.C. Review Board’s decision to grant an absolute discharge to Raymond Swann, who ran down and killed Brian Watson near Chase in 2016, is a complete travesty and contravenes the mores of our society. How can a lack of sleep, a voluntary overuse, then subsequent withdrawal of meds constitute a successful defence even if medical experts were involved? With an original charge of murder (later reduced to criminal negligence causing bodily harm), the Crown and the RCMP must have seen some criminal behaviour. The result should have been some sort of jail time or at least a loss of driving privileges — anything that sends a better message. Something is very wrong here and I am reminded of the saying, “All people are created equal, but some are more equal than others”. Noel Summers Kamloops
Editor: I was impressed with the front page of the July 10 edition of KTW, which featured a photo and article on the highly successful bike and pedestrian trail connecting Sahali with downtown. The trail’s Secwepemc name, Xget’tem, meaning “deep valley,” suits it perfectly.
REPLANT ALL OUR FORESTS
But how is Xget’tem pronounced? “T’ get ‘em”? I really approve of the use of local Indigenous names for signage, but why not add the English language version with each one? I would be proud to use it. I even have trouble remembering how to say “Secwepemc” and usually revert to “Shuswap,” which I
know is at least correct and respectful. (I guess I’ll always think like a teacher.) Wendy Patrick Kamloops Editor’s note: According to Tk’emlups te Secwepemc, Xget’tem is pronounced as “hucktum.”
Editor: Everybody is choked about the recent KTW online poll that found most respondents opposed to paying more taxes for climate-change measures in the city. I agree with those opposed as we already pay enough tax.
Let’s get on the forestry companies to replant all the trees they cut down. The biggest carbon capture in the world are the forests. Let’s have them all replanted. J. Wymer Kamloops

Tipping fees, oversight to be increased JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The city will increase sewage tipping fees to $50 per cubic metre this fall and use revenue to add a staff member at $90,000 per year for source oversight, beginning next year. “I’m quite delighted with the notion of better source control,” Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said, noting the additional support will ensure source control and help validate concerns the city has had about industrial processes discharged into the sanitary system. City utility services manager Greg Wightman told KTW the discharge process is now done via an “honour system.” He said the city has criteria for what can be dumped into the sewage-treatment system, but few checks are done with trucked liquid waste. “The thing that people need to understand, though, that regardless of what’s coming into our system, what’s going out is still controlled,” Wightman said in response to concerns from opponents of city biosolids
being used on land in the region. “So, we still have criteria we have to meet there and we’re able to confirm that we’re meeting all that through the regulations. It just makes it a little more difficult to get to that point through our treatment process.” A staff member will be hired at the Kamloops Sewage Treatment Centre at a cost of $90,000 per year, which is expected to be covered through the additional revenue collected from increased tipping fees. City staff have said trucks travel from across B.C. to unload liquid waste — septic fields, porta potties and commercial grease interceptors — in Kamloops, due to low fees. The city charges $20.21 per cubic metre (1,000 litres), compared to Vancouver at $61.30, Nanaimo at $50.60 and Penticton at $36. Asked about the timing of the fee increase and increased oversight, Wightman said the city has been looking into its sewage system and biosolids as attention swirls in light of protests against a biosolids project in the Turtle Valley. “As we’ve been doing that, we’ve identi-

Crash near Falkland claims life of driver A man in his 60s is dead after a fatal crash on this past Monday on Highway 97, east of Falkland. Falkland is between Kamloops and Vernon, about 50 minutes east of Kamloops. According to the RCMP, the man was the lone occupant of a black pickup truck driving eastbound early on Monday morning, on Highway 97 near Whispering Pines

BRIEFS Frontage Road. RCMP and other emergency services arrived at the scene at 5:30 a.m. and determined the truck had failed to negotiate a curve and left the highway. The man was ejected from the vehicle and died as a result of the
single-vehicle collision. RCMP North Okanagan Traffic Services and the BC Coroners Service are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash and are appealing for witnesses to contact police. Anyone with information regarding the crash, including any dash camera footage, is asked to call 250-2607132.
GUIDES NEED THEIR CRESTS Twenty Girl Guides were to receive their crests, only to have a thief make off with the badges honouring hard work. On Wednesday, July 10, between 7:15 a.m. and 4 p.m., the envelope with the 20 crests was stolen from the mailbox of a home on Schreiner Street in Brocklehurst. The thief stole only
the envelope, leaving behind other items that had been delivered to the home. The crests in the envelope were Cookie All Star badges, which Girl Guides earn, along with other rewards, for exceptional sales of Girl Guide cookies — the mint version in the fall and the classic variety in the spring. The crests were to be presented to 20 eight-year-old girls in
the program. Anybody with information on the theft or anyone noticing Girl Guide crests being sold in large quantities is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000. TRAILER BATTERIES BEING TARGETED Kamloops Mounties have received numerous reports of travel trailer batteries being stolen. In most of the cases,
the strap holding the battery on the trailer was cut. Police believe thieves are taking the batteries to recycling centres for fees paid out for the items. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said travel trailer owners should mark their batteries with some form of identification (for example, a driver’s licence number) and attach them securely to the trailer.

A rare case of viral rabies infection has claimed the life of a Vancouver Island man. Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said the man came into contact with a bat in mid-May and developed symptoms compatible with rabies six weeks later. Henry said while the exposure in the fatal case was on Vancouver Island, bats in all areas of B.C. are known to carry rabies. “To ensure privacy for the family, no further information on the individual will be released,” Henry said. Family members, close community contacts and health-care workers who cared for the man are being assessed and given
post-exposure rabies preventive measures, if needed. The most recent case of human rabies in B.C. was in 2003. In Canada, there have been 24 known cases since the 1920s. The most recent cases in Canada were in Ontario in 2012 and in Alberta in 2007. If anyone in B.C. comes in contact with a bat (even if there is no obvious bite or scratch), they should wash the area with soap and water, then get to a health-care provider immediately. Henry said medical staff will assess the risk of rabies and may provide a vaccine to prevent infection.
Bats are the only known carriers of the rabies virus in the province. About 13 per cent of bats tested in B.C. are positive for rabies. This presents an ongoing risk for people and their pets and pet owners are urged to ensure their animals’ rabies vaccinations are up to date. Symptoms of the disease in people include headache, fever, increasing difficulty in swallowing, excessive drooling, muscle spasm or weakness, and strange behaviour. The majority of people with rabies die of the disease. More information about rabies is online at healthlinkbc.ca/healthlinkbc-files/rabies.

Terrorist detection tool aim of TRU research KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A computer science researcher from India is spending three months in Kamloops to contribute his programming expertise to develop a first-of-its-kind lone wolf terrorist detection tool. Karthik Vedantham, a 20-yearold undergraduate student at the National Institute of Technology in Hamirpur, India, is one of more than 1,200 international students helping to solve tough innovation challenges at 55 Canadian universities through a summer internship program called Mitacs Globalink. He is working under the guidance of Thompson Rivers University computer science associate professor Andrew Park to develop a threedimensional computer simulation that accurately detects the precise locations in large urban cities that are likely to be selected by lone wolf terrorists wishing to harm the most people at a public gathering, so security professionals can be better prepared. The project was inspired by the Oct. 1, 2017, Las Vegas strip shooting in which 58 people were killed and 422 were wounded when a single
shooter opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers. The simulation being developed at Thompson Rivers University uses advanced computer 3D modelling and programming techniques to develop a predictive tool that can be used by law enforcement and security professionals ahead of public events, enabling them to devise proactive strategies to counter such attacks and keep people safe. “If a city is holding a large music concert, parade or other public event, we can analyze the surroundings and predict where the lone wolf might be located,” Park said, explaining that the algorithm calculates shooting distance, views and angles to isolate not only the most likely building, but the optimal floor of that building. “There are only a limited number of police officers available, so we can’t send them everywhere,” Park said. “With our tool, they will know where to place security personnel in order to be as effective as possible.” During his time in Canada, Vedantham will be working to develop an algorithm that can accurately and precisely identify the location most likely to be selected by an indi-
vidual terrorist planning an attack. He is working on a static simulation to protect crowds based on a particular location. The ultimate goal is to develop a dynamic simulation that will work in real time to protect a moving target such as a motorcade or parade route, like the recent parade in downtown Toronto to celebrate the Toronto Raptors basketball team win. Once completed, the simulation will be shared with project collaborator Valerie Spicer, an officer with the Vancouver Police Department, who also holds a PhD in criminology, with the expectation that it can be used at future events in the city. In addition to Vedantham, more than 160 Mitacs Globalink students from nine countries are in B.C. this summer, working in labs at UBC, SFU, UVic and UNBC. Research includes coral reef protection, mapping historical connections (prior to the Internet) between trans activists on a global scale and examining whether brain inflammation plays a role in schizophrenia. Mitacs Globalink is a not-forprofit organization that builds partnerships that support industrial and social innovation in Canada.
It is funded by the provincial and federal governments, universities and industry partners. SIMULATION FOLLOWS WORK IN SHADOW OF BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS In 2014, Park and others at TRU re-created the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombing in a computer lab. The technology applied came from all the software tricks used to create games, but the goal was to learn from what happened and how, in a similar situation, security forces might be better able to rescue victims. That project was done for the Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security and Society an organization supported by several universities and government agencies, including Public Safety Canada, the RCMP and CSIS. The work was designed to help position public safety against potential threats by identifying existing gaps, defining priorities and focusing on developing approaches to address the threats. The goal was to develop a model in which a crowd of more than
20,000 people with specific behaviours could be created and then used by police and other security forces to train in a virtual setting. Park chose the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver as his first environment and mapped out the features of the environment — the streets, the derelict storefronts, the garbage bins, the people — all in a three-dimensional reality. Sixty people interacted with his creation and, among the things he learned were whether people would choose to go down streets with one street person versus several, if alleyways were scaring them and if they were reluctant to wander down a wide street with dirty garbage containers. Park was surprised to learn, for example, that some of the participants, when making their way past the virtual garbage bins, actually thought they could smell them. From there, he created Vancouver’s Chinatown and had about 20 elderly Chinese people interact. Park said among the observations made were that people would avoid streets in Chinatown that would bring them close to the neighbouring Downtown Eastside.

Thompson Rivers University is expanding its bachelor of education program by 16 seats in September to help address a shortage of Indigenous teachers in the province. The expansion to TRU’s bachelor of education program is part of the provincial government’s decision to spend $2.7 million on Indigenous teacher education training across B.C. The funding in direct response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action No. 62, which called upon governments to fund post-secondary institutions to educate teachers on how to integrate Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into the classroom. “We know that inequities and under-representation exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in many ways, including in education, and this is one step forward in addressing this issue,” TRU president and vice-chancellor Brett Fairbairn said.

Training for forestry workers Kamloops is one of three communities involved in a $3-million provincial program aimed at training 100 new forestry workers amidst mill closures and curtailments in the region. Stillwater Consulting has been tapped by the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction to deliver the Advanced Forestry Training program in Kamloops, Cranbrook and Nanaimo. Students will earn 11 industry certifications, including silviculture surveyor certification, occupational first aid level 3 and basic chainsaw operator. The program includes a three-week job placement with local forestry employers. “One key way to reduce poverty is to open doors for people to new jobs and careers,” Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction Shane Simpson said. The 19-week program will prepare students for jobs as environmental technicians, recreational trail builders, silviculture surveyors and wildland firefighters. “For someone looking for opportunities after a mill closure, the program provides a great way to expand on what they know and turn that into a new career,” said Aaron ByngHall, project manager with Stillwater Consulting. The Advanced Forestry Skills Training Program is recruiting students for a July 22 start date in Kamloops and an Aug. 12 start date in Cranbrook and Nanaimo. Overall, 36 students per city can participate, with a total of 108 spaces available. People interested in applying can contact WorkBC offices in Kamloops, Cranbrook and Nanaimo.

KTW FILE PHOTO New conservation measures are intended to save the Fraser steelhead trout, but a retired fisheries biologist said the only solution now is to stop fishing steelhead.
Endangered tag not part of Steelhead plan SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
As the population of Interior Fraser steelhead trout continues to reach near-record-low levels, the provincial and federal governments have announced a plan to work together to save the fish from extirpation. The plan is made up of three new conservation measures, including work to reduce mortality and increase survival of fish returning to spawn, improve freshwater habitat conditions and conduct more science and monitoring activities. The announcement stopped short of placing steelhead on the endangered list, something advocates and advisory panels have long supported. “It’s lip service. We’ve done this stuff numerous times before,” said Bob Hooton, a retired fisheries
biologist who worked for the provincial government for 37 years. Hooton said at this point, there is only one course of action that would make a difference. “The only immediate action we can take is to reduce the harvest pressure. We can talk all we want about sea lions, nets — no. We need to leave the damn fish alone long enough to see if they can respawn,” he said. “Stop fishing. End of discussion.” In 2018, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (an advisory body to the government) assessed the Thompson River and Chilcotin steelhead as endangered and recommended an emergency order to place the fish on the endangered list under the federally controlled Species at Risk Act (SARA), which would stop fishing from recreational, commercial and First Nations sectors.
A Fisheries and Oceans Canada press release said the federal government determined that an emergency listing would “produce suboptimal ecological, social and economic outcomes relative to a comprehensive, long-term collaborative action plan with British Columbia.” Hooton said the recreational fisheries sector has been regulated “off the map” and has little lobbying power, while commercial still retains some, but is dwindling. “And then there’s First Nations. Nobody can say ‘No’ to First Nations anymore,” Hooton said. Political motivations are what’s stopping the fish from being protected under SARA, according to Hooton. But whatever the cause, a recent status report completed by ministry fisheries biologist Robert Bison shows the fish is still at risk of being extirpated. The latest report from the

province was released on July 10 and indicates a springtime population of 216 fish in the Thompson River, the second-lowest ever recorded since monitoring began in 1978. The lowest estimate was 150, made in the spring of 2018. The population is deemed to be of “extreme conservation concern” if its population falls below 430. The estimated number of fish is also noted by tributary, with 43 fish in the Deadman River, 37 in the Bonaparte River, 74 in the Coldwater River, 50 in the Spius River and 12 in the Lower Nicola River (including tributary creeks). The numbers are just as dire for the Chilcotin, where an estimated 120 fish were located, also the second lowest population seen in that river since its records began in 1972. “They’re practically extirpated now,” Hooton said.

TODD SULLIVAN
STAFF REPORTER
todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
As a co-producer of the documentary The Jay Abraham Story, V. Krishna Lakkineni of Kamloops was able to get up close and personal with Abraham, a noted American businessman and speaker. That was all the reward Lakkineni wanted, but winning a Telly Award for the film was icing on the cake. Lakkineni happened to meet Abraham at the Thought Leaders Summit in Hollywood, Calif., in 2017. Over the course of the meeting, he learned of an opportunity to become involved with a documentary film about Abraham. In doing so, he managed to get more face-to-face time with the businessman. Each of the co-producers on the film received two days of coaching from Abraham, as well as six group calls, with the experience filmed and edited to produce the documentary. The cost of helping produce the documentary was quite a bit less than what it would have cost for an equivalent amount of training from Abraham, so Lakkineni considered the opportunity a bargain. The film won a bronze trophy in the category of Non-Broadcast General-Biography at the 2019 Telly
Awards, which showcases the best work created within television and across video. It was an opportunity of a lifetime for Lakkineni, who had already read Abraham’s book Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You’ve Got. When asked for his greatest takeaway from the documentary experience, Lakkineni described it in one word: “Pre-eminence. “How do you know what people want and be ready with the product, even before they think they need it?” Lakkineni asked. It’s that kind of business approach he hopes to bring to his own company. Lakkineni is founder and CEO of ROI Media Works in Kamloops, but he would like to spend more time on non-profit and charity projects. For example, he is working to develop a foundation called Hope For One Million Kids, through which he wants to create a safe environment and provide education to underprivileged kids. Until then, Lakkineni remains involved on a smaller scale with other charities, such as the Children’s First Foundation and sponsoring a backpack as part of the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way’s Feeding The Future campaign.

Am I Empowering or Enabling My Adult Child? Parenting can be the most rewarding and challenging job. According to finder.com, a staggering 68% of Canadian parents are helping their adult children with finances. Personally, we have had assistance early in our lifetimes from our parents. Many of our clients are confronted with situations whereby they are debating when or how to help their son or daughter financially. Assistance can be for aspirational endeavors such as post-secondary education, home purchases, or helping invest in a business. Alternatively help is often needed when times are tough or cash flow is lacking. These can include subsidizing rent, unexpected expenses, or major events such as job loss, marital break down, or credit issues including bankruptcy. Regardless of the reason to help your children, we encourage parents to consider the following when providing financial support: 1. Have a discussion. Sit down with them and help review their current financials and
cash flow. We understand people tend to be private about finances or there could be underlying sensitive issues. However, we believe candor is required to make an effective plan and improve your son or daughter's situation. Sometimes it is helpful to engage an independent third party like a banker or accountant. 2. Are funds a gift, loan, or investment? This should be clear up front. Gifts typically come with no strings attached. Loans should be in writing and have clear expectations with respect to interest rate and repayment schedules. You can be creative such as no payments for the first six months. If it is an investment, how are funds to be recovered: sale of home, after a set number of years, or upon a predetermined increase in value? 3. Set boundaries. If you are reaching into your wallet frequently, some suggestions include: reducing monthly support incrementally, offering assistance for 90 days, limiting help to one request every 12 months. Generally, you want to provide a hand up not a hand out. 4. Where is the money coming from? Drawing from savings, investments or taking a loan. There are pros and cons to each. For example, dipping into your RSP has tax implications. Cosigning a loan means parents are liable and do not have control. Alternatively, parents could

lend against their line of credit and have the kids cover the payments often at a better rate. 5. What is the impact on other family members? We advocate some level of transparency here. Family members often find out and we feel it is better to lead the discussion. Parents typically strive for fairness which may not mean equal. Offsetting gifts or adjusting inheritance amounts for prior financial support can be ways to help balance or maintain harmony. Again, ensure you document and update. A final note around helping kids with credit troubles: We strongly urge parents to be part of the process with creditors or insolvency agencies before providing assistance to confirm debts will be properly cleared out. This will help ensure creditors are satisfied and avoid further repercussions. It can be rewarding yet stressful to find a balance when helping kids with finances. One of the key questions to ask is "Am I empowering or enabling my child?" Don't forget the impact on your own financial well-being and engage help along the way. Until next time... Invest Well. Live Well.

STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Grayson Peters of Kamloops may have accepted a cheerleading position if it got him on the team. The prospect of playing in his hometown in the Under-16 Western Challenge, a Football Canada tournament featuring top players from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, had him willing to do whatever it took. He initially tried out for Team B.C. at running back, but was moved to tight end before finding a home at guard. “I’m just happy to be on the team,” said Peters, who turns 14 in August, making him one of the squad’s youngest players.
The South Kamloops secondary student earned considerable playing time at left guard on Monday, with B.C. earning an upset victory over Alberta in the semifinal round, a 26-21 triumph at Hillside Stadium. “It was definitely a little nerveracking on the sideline, but it was for sure a fun game,” said Peters, noting Alberta nearly came back from a 20-7 deficit. “We didn’t expect that outcome whatsoever, especially with them being the reigning two- or threeyear champs. It was definitely great.” Saskatchewan, which hammered Manitoba 38-2 in the other semifinal on Monday, will square off against B.C. in the gold-medal game on Thursday.
Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. at Hillside. “We’re expecting the same level of competition or higher,” said Peters, who stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 175 pounds. “We have to step the intensity up quite a bit.” Trent Schmuland, B.C.’s head coach, seems likely to make sure his team is focused. “Coach Trent is definitely hard on us, but it all pays off in the end,” Peters said. Manitoba, which fell 47-21 to Alberta in the 2018 final, will be looking to avenge the loss in a rematch in the bronze-medal tilt on Thursday Game time is 4 p.m. Peters is likely to see time at running back, fullback and tight end on offence and linebacker
and defensive lineman on defence for the Titans next season under junior varsity head coach Brad Yamaoka. Yamaoka, a former CFL running back, sat in on defensive meetings when he played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, trying to pick up on anything that may help him on offence. He said Peters playing guard this week can provide insight on multiple positions on both sides of the ball — and it shows off versatility. “It’s always good to play other positions,” Yamoaka said. “He’s not a plug. It’s nice to have a guy that can jump in anywhere, but he’s not going to be an offensive lineman. He’s athletic.” Peters plans to pursue a post-
secondary football scholarship. “It’s definitely a big deal to get on this team because you get recognized, almost nationally, provincially, playing against three other provinces,” Peters said. “I’m pretty sure there are some scouts that come to these games.” There may be a few scouts out this week. There certainly were junior, pro and post-secondary talent adjudicators at the U18 Football Canada Cup last week in Kingston, Ont. Peters is taking steps that may see him reach that level in a few years. “It’s definitely a big deal to get on this team,” he said. “When I first found out about it, it was a big goal to make the team and play in my hometown.”

thletics Canada shut down the National Throws Centre in Kamloops in 2013, a decision that dovetailed with the hiring of the national governing body’s head coach, Peter Eriksson. Anatoliy Bondarchuk, the centre’s lead coach, was left without a job and top throws athletes had little reason to come here with the program’s funding nixed. Eriksson was relieved of his position in 2016. Dylan Armstrong, the former Olympic bronze medallist shot putter, was at the tail end of his competitive career in 2013. Perhaps it may have been wise for Athletics Canada to consider keeping that centre here, using Armstrong and Bondarchuk to groom a generation of throws athletes with podium potential. Results indicate Armstrong has teaching chops. The Kamloops Track and Field Club is enjoying an unprecedented run of throws success, mostly among youth and junior athletes, with Armstrong at the helm and the Ukrainian mad throws scientist, 79-year-old Dr. B, flanking his former pupil. Athletes from across the province are flocking to the Tournament Capital, some moving here full-time while others make regular, long trips for training sessions. Eight KTFC athletes have qualified for either the U16 and U18 Legion Youth National Track and Field Championships, which will run from Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 in Cape Breton, N.S., or the senior, U20 and para-athletics

Canadian Track and Field Championships, scheduled to run from July 25 to July 28 in Montreal. Records are being dismantled by KTFC athletes, most recently at the B.C. Athletics Jamboree, held earlier this month at Hillside Stadium. Cole Bibby of Revelstoke set the U16 B.C. record in javelin, throwing 60.94 metres to crush the mark held previously by Kris Burleigh, who threw 55.88m in 2005. Bibby was recruited to Kamloops by Armstrong. Not to be outdone, Kian Zabihi set the national and provincial records in U16 hammer throw, heaving the implement 67.87m. The record was previously held by Trey Henderson, who threw 62.78m in 2004. The Zabihis moved to Kamloops from Vernon so Kian can train with the former Canadian Olympian. Matthew Arnold of Revelstoke earned a gold medal in men’s U18 hammer throw and Elliott Payne of Maple Ridge finished atop the podium in U18 javelin. Both are here to train with the man who was robbed of his Olympic moment by the doping, cheating Belarusian Andrei Mikhnevich. Arnold has earned spots on B.C. teams for both U18 nationals in

Nova Scotia and the U20 Canadian championships in Montreal. Payne and Bibby will join him in Cape Breton. Zabihi, who turned 14 in March, is in fact too young to toil for the U16 B.C. team, meaning he will miss out on government funding for the trip that squad members receive, despite being the Canadian U16 record holder. He will compete as an individual in Nova Scotia, unaffiliated with a provincial team. Phoebe PriceRoberts of Lake Country, who is coached by Bondarchuk in Kamloops, cracked B.C.’s roster for U20 nationals in Montreal. Greg Stewart, born with nothing below his left elbow, competes in the F46 Paralympics category. The 7-foot-2 behemoth began training with Armstrong in 2017 and threw 13.08m that year in his first International Paralympics Committee-sanctioned event. Stewart, 33, broke his own Canadian record earlier this month with a throw of 15.82m, unofficially the secondlongest distance thrown by anyone on the planet this year in his category. The big man’s sights are set on this year’s world championships, which run from Sept. 28 to Oct. 6 in Doha, Qatar, and on the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo. Josh Farrell, a senior Paralympian shot putter who competes in the F20 classification, for athletes with intellectual disabilities, moved to Kamloops from Ontario to train under Armstrong. He will throw for Ontario at nationals in Montreal. Jacob Taylor, who moved to the
River City from the North Okanagan in 2017 to train at the KTFC, became the No. 1-ranked U18 javelin thrower in Canada in 2018, but fell 10 centimetres shy of qualifying for Legions this year. Taylor may still compete at Legions unaffiliated with a province. Adam Keenan, who trained in Kamloops when the National Throws Centre was still around, resides in Victoria, but is still coached by Bondarchuk. Keenan is on the senior B.C. squad and will compete in hammer throw at nationals in Montreal. Armstrong’s recruits are not limited to throws athletes. Bazil Spencer of Quesnel began training for high jump in Kamloops in 2018. He earned gold earlier this month at the Jamboree and will leap for B.C. at nationals in Montreal. Quite a few of the aforementioned athletes have stayed or are staying at Armstrong residences, either with Dylan or his mother, Judy, president of the KTFC. Armstrong, the hulking Westsyde secondary graduate, is often their ride to and from training and their kick in the pants when they don’t feel like hitting the gym. The City of Kamloops has proven a great partner to the local track club and other community groups have offered support, but what’s happening right now at that club is largely down to Armstrong. Look for the stable of athletes under his tutelage to grow in the next few years. Kamloops appears to be home to a burgeoning and unofficial National Throws Centre.

Did they stay alive? They owned South Okanagan in the regular season and finished first in league standings, nine points ahead of the second-place Flames. The Kamloops Venom, 6-1 against the Flames during the campaign, must have been smelling blood, a scent that may have strengthened when the Penticton-based Flames were displaced in time for the postseason, forced to play in Oliver Arena when ice covered the floor at Penticton Memorial. Neither recent history nor the Oliver twist had fazed the Flames, who led 2-0 in the best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship series, which returned to Memorial Arena in Kamloops on Tuesday. The game was played after KTW’s press deadline. For the game story, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.
Round 1 of the post-season will feature four best-of-three series — 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5 — with winners advancing to a final-four tournament.

There are three events on the FedExCup postseason slate in 2019, down from four last year, part of scheduling changes that helped the PGA Tour shorten its season to avoid competing with NFL Sundays in September. The top 125 in overall standings after the Wyndham get into the Northern Trust in Jersey City, N.J., and earn tour exemption for 20192020. Golfers who remain in the top 70 after the Northern Trust will compete at the BMW Championship in Medinah, Ill. There are quadruple FedExCup points (2,000) up for grabs in the first two playoff events. The Tour Championship in Atlanta, Ga., will feature the top 30 vying for the title of FedExCup champion, which comes with $15 million. PENDREL 12TH IN FRANCE Catharine Pendrel of Kamloops placed 12th at the Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup women’s crosscountry elite event in Les Gets, France, on Sunday. She finished in one
hour, 29 minutes and 30 seconds, about three minutes behind winner Kate Courtney of the U.S. “Definitely wanted more out of today, but gave it everything and 12th was what I had,” Pendrel wrote on Facebook after the race. “Thanks, ladies, for the good battles! It’s pretty inspiring to see the growing depth of the women’s field.” Haley Smith of Uxbridge, Ont., was the top Canadian rider, finishing sixth with a time of 1:28:09, one minute and 40 seconds behind Courtney. The next World Cup event, the fifth on the seven-stop women’s cross-country-elite circuit, will run from Aug. 2 to Aug. 4 in Val Di Sole, Italy. CITY SWIMMERS COMPETE IN ITALY Megan Dalke and Colin Gilbert of Kamloops represented Canada at the University Sports Federation Summer Universiade, which ran from July 3 to July 14 in Naples, Italy. Dalke placed 10th in both the 200-metre fly and 800m freestyle events and finished 14th in the 400m individual medley. She also swam in the morning heats of the 4x200m freestyle relay.

He is also survived by his step-children Tammy (Chad) Miller, Shane Kurki, as well as grandchildren, stepgrandchildren and great-grandchildren. Keith has been a lifetime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served as Bishop for a period of time and gave of his time to serve in other auxiliary positions. He was always ready to serve and help those in need. Keith was born to parents Clarence Henry Strate and Esther Pack on December 17, 1928 in Cardston, Alberta. His family lived in Hillspring, Alberta till he was 4 years old, then his mother wanted to join her husband Clarence, who at the time was working in Edmonton, so she loaded up the family and all their belongings in a 1929 Ford that belonged to Uncle Forrest and they arrived in Edmonton on October 31st, much to the delightful surprise of her husband. Kay’s love for hockey began at the early age of 6, his passion for hockey led to a career with the Edmonton Flyers as a forward. In his 11th year of school, he began to sell insurance for Western Savings and Loan for a couple of years and then he purchased the Leach Tire Store in Lloydminster, Alberta which would be renamed a couple of years later as the Civic Tire Store.
Kay would use his entrepreneurial spirit to purchase Tire stores in Vegreville and Wetaskiwin, Alberta and Fort St. John, BC. In order to keep in close contact with his employees at the different Tire store locations, Kay decided to learn to fly an airplane. Kay retired early in his life at the age of 42, he then bought the ranch property at Campbell Creek in the Dallas region of Kamloops and raised some cattle and enjoyed the farming life which was close to his heart. On trips to Alberta with his wife Rita, he would comment on the hay fields and how he loved the farmland. Kay enjoyed so many hobbies and was a skilled craftsman. He built a carpentry workshop where he could make numerous projects for family and friends. His love of carpentry was handed down to him from watching and helping his own father at an early age with carpentry projects. He loved hunting and fishing trips with his father and friends which always produced plenty of food to share with everyone. He was able to build an airplane with his sons Mark and Bob, which was a seven year project. Often he spoke of the 23,000 rivets that went into the structure of the plane. Kay was a spontaneous spirit, open to new adventures and willing to try something new. He was an avid golfer and he read many books and articles on how to improve his golf game. His step-son Shane Kurki named him “Coach”, as he shared tips that would help Shane improve his golf game. Kay enjoyed his chocolate projects, his skill of chocolate making was passed down from his mother Esther, who would make many hundreds of pounds of chocolates every year to sell, so that she could buy Christmas gifts for her family. What Kay enjoyed the most about making chocolates, was the giving of them to his friends. He loved the comments people made of the chocolates and how people’s faces lit up as he shared his love of chocolates with them.
He was also known well for his gardening skills, this too was nourished at an early age as he tended numerous family gardens. He really enjoyed a “weed free” garden. Kay was also known as the “Tomato King”, he knew the special care that growing tomatoes required. Kay was a good dancer, he enjoyed upbeat music, laughter, jokes, playing cards, he was a tease, he gained great pleasure in serving and helping others. If someone was in need, Kay was close by to lend a helping hand. He was also a private man, sensitive, very loving and caring, quick to apologize and always had a happy smile, he was a positive spirit who was always ready to uplift and cheer. He will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him but lovingly remembered. Kay was a true gentleman.

REMEMBER By Christina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can go no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Jules R. Bloom

Celebration of Life Kevin Johnston
Remember me when no more day by day
Please join our family as we celebrate the life and legacy of Glen Jardine. This will take place on Friday, July 19, 2019 at 11:00 am at the Kamloops United Church, 4th and St. Paul St., Kamloops. Glen was blessed to be of service to many during his decades of proudly operating his family business. We invite all who were witness to his kindness, authenticity and most importantly, his big smile. Following the celebration of life, we invite you to join us for a light lunch and an opportunity to share memories.
Please join our family as we Celebrate the Life and the legacy of Peter McVey, at the Merritt Civic Centre, 1950 Mamette Ave., Merritt, BC on July 20, 2019 at 1:00 pm. Reception to follow and a opportunity to share memories! Condolence may be sent to www.schoeningfuneralservices.com
You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray.
There will be a Celebration of Life for Bill on Sunday, July 28, 2019 from 1:30 – 4:00pm at the Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC.
Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
