LANDSLIDE FEARS LEAD TO EVACUATIONS CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Campbell Creek began rising 10 days ago and residents fear projected warm temperatures this week — a high of 29 C is forecast for Thursday — will worsen the situation. ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW
Sandbagging as Campbell Creek rises ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
From the driveway of her Campbell Creek home, Vicki Gehring has a frontrow view of the water churning its way past her home and making lakes out of some of her neighbours’ yards. “Normally standing here, you can’t see the creek,” she said. Even at the high water mark in midJune, the creek is usually a few feet below her yard. This year, the water is high enough that it is starting to crest some of the sandbags that have been walling her property off for more than a week.
Other nearby yards feature large pools of water and Gehring said a nearby field where she pens horses is completely flooded. The creek started rising 10 days ago and residents suspect it has yet to reach its peak. On Barnhartvale Road, which crosses over the creek, water is beginning to pool at the sides of the roads. Steve Kanigan, whose home overlooks the crossing, said he expects the water could end up covering the road as it did about 20 years ago, the only other time in his 50 years on the property the water ran this high. “I don’t think we’re done yet,” he said. “If it gets warm, it’s going to be going up.”
City of Kamloops public works director Jen Fretz said the city has dropped off bags and sand for residents who need to shore up their properties. With Environment Canada calling for highs of 25 C tomorrow and 29 C by Thursday, Gehring is also concerned more water is on the way. She said the stillfrozen Scuitto Lake, located to the south, will likely compound the situation when ice on it melts. She noted friends at higher elevations are still dealing with snow, another potential source of runoff. Yesterday morning, she was planning to start on a new wall of sandbags — this time around the house.
The city is considering installation of a pipe to divert water from a Rayleigh hillside that is at risk of landslide. Officials from the city and province met yesterday morning to consider options to lessen risk in the Palmer-Forsyth area, where a large hill is sloughing due to heavy runoff. The bank can be seen to be collapsing and a small slide occurred last month across Highway 5 North. At least 22 people from eight homes were evacuated on April 27 from Ramage Road on the west side of the highway. A state of local emergency has been declared due to fears of the landslide. City spokeswoman Tammy Robertson said slope-monitoring equipment installed over the weekend showed the hillside continuing to move downward. The city and provincial Ministry of Transportation are looking at ways to lessen risk. “These efforts could include installation of a pipe to divert water from a spring located above the sloughing area around the problem slope,” the city said in a statement. “This mitigation measure would take approximately seven days to complete. The water diversion is expected to improve drying of the hillside and stop the soil movement.” The evacuation order remains in effect. Residents have been given 13 days worth of support, Campbell said. Other infrastructure at risk include the highway, CN Rail track and a high-pressure gas line. See FALL HEAVY RAINS, A4

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW On Sunday, Green Leader Andrew Weaver made his second visit to Kamloops during the provincial election campaign. He joined a rally outside Red Beard on the North Shore, near the co-campaign headquarters of Green candidates Dan Hines (Kamloops-North Thompson) and Donovan Cavers (Kamloops-South Thompson). Another party leader, Christy Clark of the B.C. Liberals, was set to make her second visit to Kamloops last night after KTW press deadline, headlining a rally at Sandman Centre. NDP Leader John Horgan is expected to make his first visit to the city today, The provincial election will be held a week from today.
Horgan last leader to visit Kamloops CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Where’s John? NDP Leader John Horgan has been noticeably absent in Kamloops during the provincial election campaign, something one political scientist said could reflect the party’s sagging fortunes locally. While Horgan is expected to be in Kamloops today, the visit will be his first, with seven days until voters go to the polls. Green Leader Andrew Weaver and Liberal Leader Christy Clark have both visited the city twice since the campaign officially started on April 11. Weaver was backstopped by federal Green Leader Elizabeth May’s trip to Kamloops last week. Until today’s expected visit to Kamloops, Horgan has been out of the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island just once — to Prince George.
“This week, you watch the leaders, where they’re going,” said Norman Ruff, associate professor emeritus of political science at the University of Victoria. “In the last week, they go where they’re likely to win or have prospects of losing a seat.” Local NDP candidates Barb Nederpel and Nancy Bepple emphasized Horgan was in Kamloops in late March, prior to the official campaign kickoff, for a forestry-related announcement. “Kamloops is a priority,” Nederpel said. “We know we can win here.” But gone are the days when Kamloops — and Kamloops-South Thompson as a provincial bellwether — was a key and frequent visit for New Democrats, a city that included NDP representation provincial and federally two decades ago. In 2009, B.C. Liberal Leader Gordon Campbell and NDP Leader Carole James came to the city on the same day — two days after
the election call. James bought shoes at Big Boot Inn, something of a tradition for political leaders. Four years ago, B.C. Liberal candidates in both ridings each picked up more than 50 per cent support. Ruff said parties rely on internal polling to tell them where to expend their efforts — and that includes a more serious effort by the Green party. That may account for the two visits by Weaver and the party’s ramped-up local campaign. While the Greens appear to be on the upswing, Ruff expects them to pick up two to four ridings — all of them on Vancouver Island. Bepple insisted Horgan “started his campaign in Kamloops” when he spoke here on forestry in late March. “We’ve got eight days to go and a lot of things can happen,” she said yesterday.

The hillside adjacent to Highway 5 North shows evidence of excessive soil instability due to a large amount of water runoff. At least 22 people from eight homes in a rural area of Kamloops have been evacuated and a state of local emergency has been declared due to fears of a landslide. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to see more photos.
Welcome, Merv!
Fall heavy rains the problem From A1
Residents of the area squeezed between CN Rail tracks and Highway 5 North speculate heavy rains last fall are responsible for sloughing and an emergency evacuation order. On Friday, a few residents were allowed to return to their properties to secure items or feed animals at the base of what officials fear could be a landslide. Trevor Woods, who owns the subdivision along with his family, said signs were obvious this spring. “We’ve watched it for a while,” he said. “We could see it moving.
“We could see the toe edge of this bank giving way.” On April 7, a small mudslide occurred on the highway that was quickly cleared. Both Woods and another resident said they suspect last fall’s heavy rains amid warm weather is responsible. “They don’t want us to stay here long,” said a man who gave his name only as Gordie. “I’m staying in town with friends and coming out here to check on things.” Woods said geotechnical experts originally believed the subdivision, associated with the former Rayleigh camp, was not under threat. Work has been ongoing for weeks to create diversions.
“It’s all from the fall,” Wood said. “It didn’t come down. It froze. It got in there and locked up.” Robertson said the city is working with the provincial government, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Fortis BC and BC Hydro in monitoring and assessing the situation. Woods said he’s confident the situation is being handled with full attention from government and private industry. He said he’s not predicting when they can return. They have about 60 animals, many of them goats that have just given birth to kids. “We have to come and go to look after the animals,” he said. “That’s why we’re here.”

Dearth of info like a ‘dictatorship’ TRU? DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
A decision by the provincial government to not explain why the B.C. Coroners’ Service is now not releasing the names of deceased people is ludicrous, according to a national expert on freedom of information. Sean Holman, a journalism teacher at Mount Royal University in Calgary, said the “idea the public has no right to know why they can’t know something is ridiculous. “This is what you would expect in a communist country or a dictatorship,” Holman said. Following the retirement of coroners’ service manager Barb McClintock earlier this year, the service stopped providing the
names of deceased who were subject to coroners’ investigations. In March, the agency announced it was reviewing legislation and regulations to determine how it would proceed with providing information to the public. Alana McMahen, executive administrative assistant to the office of the chief coroner, said a review should be complete within a month. She said once the review is complete, the office will provide a summary of the new release policy and the legal basis for it. However, in response to a freedom of information request for the information being gathered that related to the review, Kris Ghag, manager of justice/social team, information access operations, told KTW “the records you requested are withheld in
their entirety,” citing policy and legal advice as reasons. Holman called the two areas cited for reasons “black holes” and said the public “has a right to know what is going on in their communities — and that includes who the deceased are in their communities who the coroners’ service is reviewing.” He said the office is “using privacy as a shield against transparency,” and suggested the decision may have been influenced by a recent court decision in Alberta that decided “government can say anything is legal advice and it can’t be reviewed by the privacy officers.” The coroner’s refusal has been appealed by KTW to the information and privacy commissioner in B.C.

The fate of a Barriere man accused of sexually assaulting a 96-year-old woman in her home last year is now in the hands of a judge. Brian Byung Koo Lee stood trial this week in Kamloops provincial court on one count of sexual assault stemming from
an alleged attack on the elderly woman in August. The woman, whose name is protected by a court-ordered publication ban, said Lee, 61, entered her home and aggressively fondled and kissed her. “Only her and Mr. Lee were present at the time of this incident and it is my submission the court should consider her evidence very, very likely,” Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo
WINNING
said in his closing argument on Friday. “The primary question is did that happen? We’re dealing with the evidence of a 97-year-old woman who, I think we all can agree, presented very youthfully. Can a person be mistaken about somebody placing their hand down her blouse, their hand in her midsection, somebody forcibly kissing her and somebody placing her hand in an unwant-
ed place? That is the question.” Lee testified in his own defence and denied the assault. He said he went to the woman’s house to inquire about a vehicle her son was repairing for him. Court was shown photos appearing to depict injuries to the woman. Lawyers will meet this week to set a date for Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley’s decision.

B.C. Liberals promise engineering program CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The B.C. Liberals have promised to fund a four-year engineering degree program at Thompson Rivers University if they are returned to power on May 9. TRU is one of a number of institutions that will receive
money under the party’s pledge to fund 1,000 seats related to science, technology
and engineering. Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal candidate Todd Stone
said Monday the funding, about $5 million a year, will go to producing 80 seats at TRU for an engineering degree in electrical, software or computer engineering. Students currently attending TRU in Kamloops can take a one- or two-year transfer to other universities in order to complete a degree.
Stone said TRU has put through more than 500 students toward a degree elsewhere in its 30-year history. A labour report produced by Venture Kamloops called for an engineering degree program locally so graduates are more likely to remain to replace vacancies and for growth in the technology and
industrial sectors. “The tech sector in Kamloops, which is really growing, has made it clear the No. 1 impediment to growth is attracting labour,” Stone said. The industry has been a bright spot in the city’s economy over the past four years, with several start-ups achieving success along with
rapid job growth. TRU is in the advanced stages of planning and is expected to grant its first degrees in engineering in several years. Both the New Democrats and Greens said they strongly favour bring technological innovation to the university through a degree program.

Young, 36, was arrested after a man told police he had been robbed after withdrawing money from the CIBC ATM at Victoria Street and Third Avenue on Jan. 1. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said Young entered the ATM vestibule and struck a man using a bank machine. Balison said

Young then grabbed the man’s neck and pinned him against the wall. Balison said Young’s wife, who is also charged in relation to the alleged robbery, then entered the bank and took the victim’s wallet. Frame called the allegations against the Youngs “grievous.”
A Shuswap man has agreed to abide by strict conditions for a year in exchange for the Crown dropping charges relating to alleged threats he made against Canadian Pacific Railway employees and property. Paul Poirier entered into a $1,000 peace bond in Kamloops provincial court on Friday. Court heard the 53-year-old lives on property in Notch Hill, near Sorrento, with 3,000 feet bordering a CPR rail line. He had been facing two charges — one count each
of uttering threats and uttering threats to burn, destroy or damage property — dating to May 25, 2016. Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said Poirier, a heavy equipment operator, threatened to use his backhoe to “tear up track” and also threatened to harm employees. The dispute had to do with fencing, court heard. CPR upgraded its fencing bordering Poirier’s property, but left some of its old fence standing. “He has interrupted work sites, he has made specific threats to CP employees,” Murphy said. “He’s threatened to drag

them by the neck and drag them up and down the track.” Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley urged Poirier to change his behaviour. “Words are important, sir,” he said. “You should be more careful with the words that you use.

Accused in baseball bat attack may plead guilty TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A plea bargain could be in the works for a Kamloops man accused of using a baseball bat to beat a teen into a coma last year. Kristopher Teichrieb is facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault in connection to the June 2016 beating of Jessie Simpson, 18. Simpson, who has since turned 19, has been in hospital since. Teichrieb, 40, appeared by video in B.C. Supreme Court yesterday, where Crown prosecutor Don Mann intimated lawyers could be close to reaching a plea deal. “There are tentative trial
dates in early January, but there has been some ongoing discussion between counsel,” he said, asking B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop to put the matter over for a month. Teichrieb appeared emotional during the brief hearing, during which he could be heard sighing heavily and sniffling. Teichrieb is accused of attacking Simpson after allegedly finding him on his Brocklehurst property in the early-morning hours of June 19, 2016. Teichrieb was arrested within minutes of the incident and has been in custody since. Simpson’s friends and family have said the Savona teen and South Kamloops secondary student was celebrating high

school graduation the night before the attack and may have been searching for a group of friends when he was assaulted. At the time, police said a Brocklehurst man confronted a person on his driveway in the area of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue. Following a brief preliminary inquiry in January, a Kamloops provincial court judge ruled there was sufficient evidence for Teichrieb’s charges to proceed to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Lawyers will return to court during the week of June 5 to determine the next step in the case. Teichrieb asked for and was granted permission to skip the hearing.

EARTH HEALTH A VITAL ISSUE
D
uring this provincial election campaign, environmental issues should matter to all political parties because voters care. Combatting a global problem like climate change requires efforts from all levels of government — and B.C.’s next government will have a say on countless environmental files. Some fall directly under the Ministry of Environment’s mandate and many more overlap with other provincial ministries. When we talk about climate change, emissions targets are some tangible goals and each party has its own notions about what’s realistic and what’s the right balance. Beyond those stated emissions targets will come action through regulation, taxation and other means. Policies on fossil-fuel extraction and development of renewables, for example, will be indicators of whether the government is serious about meeting its emissions targets. A positive of an election campaign is that parties will tend to say the right things about their environmental intentions. The B.C. Liberals can laud their carbon tax, which is a model other provinces might do well to emulate. The B.C. NDP has a comprehensive plan that would see energy-efficient retrofits at public buildings. The B.C. Greens would increase and expand the carbon tax and adopt more ambitious targets on greenhouse gas reductions. An election campaign is a chance for British Columbians to talk about a lot of the issues that are important to us, with the knowledge that politicians have to listen right now. The Earth doesn’t have its own MLA or premier, but we can elect politicians who will advocate for our environment and care about our planet.

Trash talk no help to trade
O
ne of the unfortunate things about the latest lumber trade attack from the U.S. is that it comes in the midst of the B.C. election campaign. Provincial politicians blaming one another for federal and even international economic problems is nothing new. And it doesn’t help anyone other than them, assuming they get a superficial boost from people who fall for emotional pitches with little rational basis. B.C. Liberal Leader Christy Clark wasted no time in last week’s TV debate. She claimed NDP Leader John Horgan “turtled” in the fight over softwood lumber trade with the U.S., while casting herself as the only one tough and “calm” enough to defend the B.C. forest industry. This has been her theme since the day the U.S. Commerce Department announced preliminary duties of about 20 per cent on Canadian lumber imports, half of which come from B.C. mills. She uses a selective quote from Horgan about the prospects of getting a new deal despite the harsh protectionist mood of U.S. President Donald Trump. “Good luck with that,” Horgan said, in an ill-advised reply to a reporter’s question about the prospects for success. Horgan soon developed his own response, noting Clark didn’t personally go to Washington, D.C., to engage with Trump administration offi-

Our Man In
VICTORIA cials about Canadian lumber. This continued his theme since the last softwood deal expired, that Clark had “dropped the ball” by failing to get the Obama administration to settle the dispute. What a load of nonsense from both of them — and they know it. This fight goes back 30 years and, for most of that time, it has been a truce via what is politely called “managed trade,” meaning either quotas or border taxes imposed by the U.S. Duncan Davies, CEO of Interfor, with big lumber production on both sides of the border, puts it in plainer terms: the repeated U.S. actions are a “simple shakedown” by American forest industry interests. He told a conference of lumber wholesalers in Vancouver last week the trade actions are about “increasing the value of U.S. timberlands, which occurs every time trade litigation is launched, Canadian supply is restricted and
lumber prices rise.” Canada’s record is clear in the latest round. With the last “shakedown” deal already expired due to inaction on the U.S. side, it was the first topic Clark brought up with newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He in turn made it his top priority in his first meeting with Obama’s trade team. This demonstrates the obvious, that ultimately it is a federal trade issue. It would be nice if the U.S. government was less corrupted by corporate lobbyists and would act in the interests of its own home builders and home buyers, but that is not the case, and Trump is simply a more bombastic version of previous lobbyist-ridden U.S. presidents. Horgan turned up the rhetoric on a visit to Prince George, where many forest industry jobs are at stake. He suggested B.C. could retaliate with its natural gas exports or the Columbia River treaty, which regulates flood control and electricity production into Washington state. Clark has threatened to choke off exports of U.S. thermal coal that moves by rail from Wyoming to the Fraser Surrey docks, and then to China. If Ottawa won’t do it, she said she’ll use provincial legislation to put “a levy so onerous on thermal coal through B.C. that no one will do it.” Would that get Trump to back down, or make things worse? tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DOCTOR SHORTAGE EXAGGERATED BY NDP Editor: Election season brings with it a lot of rhetoric and lip service that is short on facts. Kamloops-South Thompson NDP candidate Nancy Bepple has latched onto the doctor shortage and throws out wild numbers of people who cannot find a doctor, with absolutely zero credibility or accountability. She presents no concrete proposals for solving the problem and appears content to stoke anger while offering no solutions. I decided to take time and ask questions about family doctors and this is what I learned. While there are many people seeking a family doctor, not everyone without a regular family doctor is looking for one. Many young, healthy adults are not seeking to be attached to a doctor. A typical family doctor carries a patient load of about 1,500 patients. Some take less and some take more, but this is about the average. There are just more than 6,000 people on Interior Health’s 811 list, not 27,000 as Bepple has claimed. These are people seeking a family physician who are not yet placed with one.
Common sense math would tell me we need to attract four or five doctors to address the list. Interior Health recently announced two new family physicians are starting in Kamloops in a few weeks and three more family physicians have committed to coming to Kamloops by the end of summer. As these doctors take on new patients, the waitlist will shrink. I’m sure not everyone looking for a doctor is on the 811 list and, of course, we know some doctors will retire and move away. However, in addition to these five new doctors, we have six other doctors coming out of the family practice residency program at Royal Inland Hospital. Many people, myself included, were not aware the new clinical-services building at RIH serves as a training facility for UBC medical school graduates. Each year, between six and eight graduates enter a program in which they spend two years in Kamloops honing their family practice skills. After completing this program, these doctors

can commence general practice anywhere in B.C. The first six graduates have indicated they wish to remain in Kamloops. Next year, a majority of the seven graduates currently in the program have indicated the same thing. This family residence program will ensure a steady stream of new doctors coming to Kamloops each year. Kamloops has also recruited four new cardiologists (bringing our total to six), three new gastrointestinal surgeons (bringing our total to five) and is establishing enhanced cardiac outpatient services. We are in the beginning stages of a new patient-care tower (the biggest construction project in the history of Kamloops), which will further enhance patient care in a modern setting. One has to remember that doctors do not grow overnight on trees, as Bepple would have us believe, but the B.C. Liberal government is doing the best it can given the circumstances.

NOT BUYING CLARK’S $300-MILLION LIE WALSH FLIP Editor: Of all the events in B.C. Liberal Leader Christy Clark’s political history, her $300 million in so-called “new money” for education galls me the most. It’s no secret that, like her Social Credit forebears, the premier is not a fan of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation or public education. If she had her way, I suspect she would privatize education altogether.
After years of provocative bone-picking bickering and legislation — costing taxpayers millions — the Supreme Court of Canada ordered Clark’s government to cease and desist or be found in contempt. She has been ordered to fund — I say “refund” — legally contracted, then stripped, provisions for class size and composition outlined more than a decade ago. Then, on the eve of
the election campaign, Clark could be found posing with children, announcing $300 million in “new” spending. I cannot emphasize enough that this is not “new” money. It’s money Clark and the B.C. Liberal government were ordered to pay back — money the government should have provided anyway. And when broken down into school districts, classrooms, students and
teachers, it amounts to a few dollars each. I tire of this government’s pretentious goodies every four years. This one is the worst cases of pandering to voters I have seen in years. But Clark and her cohort know that the average voter does not look too deep into issues. It’s the perception that matters in all things. I refuse to swallow this $300 million lie.

A driver and his female passenger face charges after fleeing police on Mission Flats Road and ending up on the CP Rail tracks. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said Mounties, CP police officers and Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement officers were conducting joint traffic enforcement on Mission Flats Road shortly before 11 a.m. on Thursday morning (April 27) when a driver in a pickup was flagged doing 77 km/h in the 50 km/h zone. “The officers, standing on the road, indicated for the male driver to stop, which he did,� RCMP said in a statement “The driver told the officers that he was going to pull his
vehicle over to the side of the road, but instead he quickly drove away.� Police gave chase as the driver passed other officers on Mission Flats Road.
The truck then left the road to drive down the tracks, but got two flat tires. The driver and a female passenger ran into the bush, but Mounties on foot caught them near the city’s wastewater-treatment plant. Shelkie said the driver was found to have eight outstanding warrants for his arrest. He faces new charges of flight from police, dangerous driving and resisting arrest. Outstanding warrants include for assault of a police officer and firearms charges. The 23-year-old female also faces a charge of flight from a police officer. Both hail from Grande Prairie, Alta.

Victim was attacked while feeding dog A woman killed last year by a dog was attempting to feed it when it mauled her, according to a coroner’s report. Kathleen Green died on Jan. 30, 2016, following an attack on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve by what was described as a mixed-breed dog. The coroner’s report released this week said Mounties found Thomas dead in her backyard. “Mr. Thomas was caring for a family member’s dog that was chained to the mobile home . . . It appeared that Ms. Thomas was feeding the dog when the attack occurred,” the report states. “Due to limited mobility, she was not typically the person who fed the dog.”

Trudeau rebuffs calls for Sajjan’s resignation amid ‘stolen valour’ OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding fast amid angry calls for Harjit Sajjan's resignation and accusations the embattled Liberal defence minister has “stolen valour” from Canadian Forces colleagues. Opposition parties have launched an all-out attack
against Sajjan, who apologized again today for having described himself as the architect of Operation Medusa, Canada's largest battle in Afghanistan in 2006. Interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose went so far as to accuse Sajjan of stealing credit for the actions of others
— something military personnel call “stolen valour.” Conservatives have also called on House of Commons Speaker Geoff Regan to look into Sajjan's claims that the Tories, and not the Liberals, cut tax benefits to Canadian soldiers in Kuwait. The NDP are also blasting
the minister amid calls for a new probe into the mistreatment of Afghan detainees, which Sajjan refused to entertain last year. But Trudeau says the defence minister simply made a mistake and has apologized fully. — The Canadian Press
Schools warn about 13 Reasons Why THE CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK — It’s a scene as painful to watch as it is graphic: A 17-year-old girl climbs into a full bathtub with a razor. We see her slice into her skin, we see the blood pour out, hear her cry and struggle to breathe. Then she is still. The suicide of the heroine in Netflix’s new popular series 13 Reasons Why shouldn’t come as a shock, since it’s depicted in the final episode of a series built around the character’s death. But knowing it is coming doesn’t make it any easier. That stomach-turning scene has triggered criticism it romanticizes suicide and prompted many schools across the country to send warning letters to parents and guardians.
The show’s creators are unapologetic, saying their frank depiction needs to be “unflinching and raw.” “Many people are accusing the show of glamorizing suicide and I feel strongly — and I think everyone who made the show — feel very strongly that we did the exact opposite,” said writer Brian Yorkey. “What we did was portray suicide and we portrayed it as very ugly and very damaging.” The 13-episode drama, co-produced by Selena Gomez, is based on Jay Asher’s youngadult 2007 bestseller about a high school student who kills herself and leaves behind 13 audiotapes detailing the events that led to her death, including sexual assault, substance abuse and bullying.
Per usual, Netflix released all 13 hours of the series at once — on March 31 — leaving suicide-prevention specialists worried teens might binge the entire series without a chance to absorb the issues and ask questions. They also say they wish the show would consistently flash the National Suicide Prevention hotline. “Graphic details about suicide we know historically are not recommended,” said Phyllis Alongi, clinical director of the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide. “I understand what the producers are saying but it could really be unsafe and I think we need to be a little more responsible.” Netflix and the show creators point out mental-health professionals
were consulted and they offer a 30-minute show called Beyond the Reasons that delves deeper into the tougher topics portrayed, as well as links to a site with resources. The show is rated TV-MA, which means is may be unsuitable for children under 17, and three episodes that contain explicit material have “viewer discretion advised” warnings. But some mentalhealth professionals are going further, with the National Association of School Psychologists declaring, “We do not recommend that vulnerable youth, especially those who have any degree of suicidal ideation, watch this series.” Critics of the show argue depression and mental illness — keys to understanding

suicide — are rarely mentioned and the fact its heroine, Hannah, gets to tell her story after her death sends a potentially dangerous message. They’re also upset the school guidance counsellor depicted on the show seems to blame the victim. The Jed Foundation and Suicide Awareness Voices of Education joined forces to create 13 talking points for young adults and guardians to discuss while watching the series, including warnings the way the counsellor is portrayed is “not typical’’ and that “leaving messages from beyond the grave is a dramatization produced in Hollywood.”
Quake jolts Yukon, northwest B.C. WHITEHORSE — Dozens of aftershocks rattled parts of southern Yukon and northern B.C. after a strong earthquake shook the area yesterday morning. Natural Resources Canada reported the first quake with a magnitude of 6.2 hit at 5:31 a.m. It was centred in a remote area 77 kilometres northwest of Skagway, Alaska and 127 kilometres southwest of Whitehorse. The U.S. Geological Survey website showed the shaker was followed by many more over the next 90 minutes, including aftershocks with magnitudes of 6.3 and 5.2. Four hours after the quake, the geological survey had recorded more than 50 temblors and aftershocks continued to shake the area. The Yukon Government activated its Emergency Co-ordination Centre as the quakes continued. “What I can tell you is that there have been no reports of damage or injury in Whitehorse,’’ said an official who answered the phone at the Yukon Emergency Measures Organization. “We are continuing to assess our infrastructure. There are intermittent power failures within Whitehorse.” Earthquakes over a magnitude of six can cause damage to buildings, even well-built ones. Both the National Weather Service in the U.S. and Emergency Info B.C. said the quakes were not expected to trigger a tsunami. Yukon Community Services Minister John Streiker said on Twitter that Yukon Energy was working with the power utility ATCO to restore power outages and to check dams and substations for damage. — The Canadian Press

KELLY PROVENCHER “I have been working with Kelly for about 6 months. I was picky and had certain criteria that had to be met. Kelly was extremely patient and when a house came on the market I knew instantly it was the one for me. Kelly acted fast, carefully pointed out advantages and disadvantages of the property and negotiated a fair price. Kelly was always a phone call away and made the purchase of my first home exciting and non stressful. I would recommend Kelly to anyone.” - Jason M. Call Kelly today for a free home evaluation.

Deals to sell homes are collapsing after buyers cannot secure financing or are having second thoughts after moving too quickly — another sign of a hot market, said the president of Kamloops & District Real Estate Association. Residential sales in April and for the year are up two to three per cent from the same period last year. Declining inventories continues to keep a lid on sales. Cyndi Crossley, president of the association, warned buyers to properly secure financing before making offers, noting a spate of recently collapsed deals. “In 2006 (another hot market), people started doing the same thing,” she said.
There are 1,500 listings across the region compared with more than 1,800 a year ago. A large number of home sales in the $600,000-plus range propelled the median house price in Kamloops — $428,000 — to what appears to be an all time high. But Crossley said it really
reflects a booming market for high-end homes. “There was 34 homes sold listed over $600,000,” she said. “That will change the median price.” Crossley said the shortage of inventory is causing some homes to sell within hours of hitting the market.

Buying or selling a home is a big decision. You need an experienced professional to guide you through the process. I have been selling real estate since 1992 and it’s my passion.
Living throughout BC over the years, I believe Kamloops is the best place to live and have made this city my home these past 16 years.
Real Estate is about being a valuable adviser, not just a salesperson. Knowing your local real estate market is important when buying or selling, I can help you with that. While working with me, you can expect: • A knowledgeable guide • Personal and attentive service • Great negotiation skills • Expert selling strategies • A worry-free move
All the moving meant buying and selling homes frequently, and I dealt with different types of Realtors — learning from each one and taking the best information they had to share. After 14 years as a Realtor I still like to treat my clients how I would like to be treated.
If you’re thinking of buying or selling, let me help you! Real estate is my business, call me!

SANDY LAPOINTE Make the most of your first impression. New listings create a lot of interest, making it important for sellers to get their pricing right. I have spent my adult life in Kamloops, and have been a realtor for 11 years. I help sellers develop the right asking price to attract attention and get maximum return. Setting a fair market value on your home gets the most out of interested buyers. Too low a price leaves thousands of dollars on the table, and too high a price scares away buyers and leaves your home on the market for too long. Bring your questions, and let’s chat about pricing your home in Kamloops.

TRU fighting tax decision CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University is one of three universities seeking a review of a property assessment panel decision that found its food-services tenants are not exempt from taxes. Thompson Rivers University, Simon Fraser University and University of B.C. are seeking a review by the B.C. Supreme Court of the decision by the property assessment review board. The properties in question at TRU are Urban Market, Heroes Pub (now called The Den), Tim Hortons, International Cafe and Upper Level Cafe. All are operated by Aramark Canada Ltd. The property assessment board found the operators are running for-profit ventures and are not in a partnership or joint venture with the universities. The universities incur some overhead, however, including janitorial and facility costs. The money at stake is small in TRU’s budget. “What this means for the university is fewer dollars into the overall operating budget to support the core functions of what we do — teaching, research, student life,” said Matt Milovick, TRU’s vice-president administration and finance.
Seniors catching up to our kids The next batch of numbers from the 2016 national census, due to be released tomorrow, is expected to show that, thanks to aging baby boomers, there are as many seniors in Canada as young people, if not more. It will be the first time in Canadian history that has been the case. There is also likely to be a jump in the number of centenarians, showcasing another trend the age and sex data from Statistics Canada will confirm: Canadians are not only getting older, but also living longer. Tomorrow’s numbers are expected to show that on census day 2016, which was May 10, the percentage of those over 65 was roughly equal to the percentage of those aged 15 and under. Nonetheless, the census figures are expected to show Canada remains one of the youngest countries in the G20. — The Canadian Press
POTHOLE SEASON HAS ARRIVED
Evidence of a long winter can be seen along a two-kilometre stretch of Iron Mask Road, west of Pineview Valley (above) and in the urban areas of Kamloops (right). As KTW photographer Allen Douglas took a photo of the pothole to the right, a passerby quipped, “The city should have to fence off their swimming pools like the rest of us!” Potholes are formed when water seeps into small cracks in the asphalt and freezes. The expansion of the ice in the crack causes the asphalt to crumble and, through repeated freeze-thaw cycles, a pothole forms. A long and colder-than-normal winter seems to have produced more of the tire enemies than usual. Residents can report potholes to the city by calling the public works centre at 250-828-3461 or by using the myKamloops mobile app, available for download online at kamloops.ca/mobileapp. DAVE EAGLES AND ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS/KTW

Priding Ourselves on Sourcing Locally In 1999, Canada grew by one territory as Nunavut was carved out of the eastern part of the Northwest Territories. That same year, Chop N Block was born in Kamloops, carving out a reputation as the city’s premier butcher and deli committed to delivering local food products via sustainable farming. Chop N Block came into being as one century gave way to the next and, since then, passed through different owners. In the spring of 2014, the company was purchased by Brody White and Heather Nicklas of Spruce Goose Culinary Ltd., leading to the Spruce Goose & Chop N Block title customers are familiar with today. Spruce Goose & Chop N Block prides itself on specializing on local animal food products, such as grassfed beef and pasture-raised pork and poultry. Only fare produced through
sustainable farming and harvesting methods and the ethical treatment of domesticallly raised animals makes the cut at the butcher and deli in Aberdeen, at Hillside Drive and Pacific Way, across the parking lot from Canadian Tire.
“Chop N Block prides itself on specializing on local animal food products“ The store’s inventory is sourced through producers that adhere to the sustainable model embraced by Brody, Heather and staff at Spruce Goose & Chop N Block. Partner farms include Devick Ranch in Knouff Lake, which supplies grainfinished beef, Indian
Gardens Ranch with grass finished Beef, Turtle Valley Bison of Chase, Raven Ridge Farms in Barrier for pasture raised pork and chicken, and South Peace Colony Hutterite farms for their legendary chicken. the store’s menu is rooted in all things natural and local. Most recently the Mt. Dufferin location received some much needed renovations to include a full sausage kitchen and smokehouse. They now are able to produce on site all of their own sausage, jerky, deli meats, festive hams and charcouterie. They are also doing many dry cured salamis like soppressata, chorizo and landjager. You can find Brody at the Kamloops Farmers market every Saturday showcasing these products. The focus on local extends to Brody, who graduated from Thompson Rivers University’s culinaryarts program in 2004. He attained his Red
Seal certification after an apprenticeship under Chef Scott Jaeger at the Pear Tree Restaurant in Burnaby Heights. In 2007, Brody competed as Chef Jaeger’s commis (apprentice) at the famed Bocuse D’Or culinary competition in Lyon, France. This experience inspired him to return to Europe after completing his apprenticeship to live and work in Paris at L’Atalier de Joel Robuchon. He was then offered his first position of executive chef at the newly
opening Burgundy Wine Bar in Beirut, Lebanon. Upon his return to Kamloops, Brody decided to focus on what he loved most in the kitchen — the craft of whole animal butchery. Spruce Goose & Chop N Block also offers fresh cuts, cured and smoked, and fully cooked convenience meals. For monthly email updates, go online to sprucegoose. ca.

Wally Smeaton is among the volunteers who help out at Kamloops Track and Field Club events throughout the year. He is pictured smiling at the Best Western Battle of the Border at Hillside Stadium on Saturday.
Unsung heroes ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
It simply wouldn’t happen without them. As the 2017 Best Western Battle of the Border high school track and field meet took over Hillside Stadium on the weekend, it was easy to focus on the athletes. More than 500 competitors from across both B.C. and Alberta walked the grounds near the Tournament Capital Centre, their brightly coloured singlets and astounding athletic performances catching the attention of most of those lounging in the metal bleachers. But, on the sidelines and in the stands, holding stopwatches, radios and clipboards, were the
real backbone of the event, the officials responsible for executing the province’s second-largest high school meet. “I love working with the kids, really,” track referee Wally Smeaton said. “At school, I officiated when I was a schoolteacher, worked with the kids, coached them. When I retired, I came in and started doing this.” Smeaton’s story is a familiar one around Kamloops Track and Field Club (KTFC) events. Much of the volunteer base became involved with the club when their kids were involved, or when they worked in the school district. Many of them have stuck around long after their kids left. See ARMSTRONG, A22

Track season heating up ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
On Saturday, the focus was the Best Western Battle of the Border. But there were plenty of other meets in the back of Logan Hwang’s mind. Saturday was a good day for the runner in what has been a difficult start to his track and field season. “I had a bit of a slow start, I was hurt earlier, but it’s really picking up now and I think I’m finding some success,” Hwang said of his season. Hwang, a Grade 10 student at Westsyde secondary, finished second in both the 1,500-metre and 3,000m races on Saturday at Hillside Stadium. He was just 0.05 seconds back of the winner in the 3,000m after a head-to-head sprint to the finish line. “I had a tough 3K earlier this morning, so for this race, I was a little tired,” Hwang said, still trying to catch his breath from a four minute 39 second finish in the 1,500m. “But, I think I pushed through pretty well.” With his day at the Battle of the Border done,
Hwang was able to ponder the Kamloops Track and Field Club season ahead. Kamloops will play host to the Dylan Armstrong Classic track and field meet on May 5 and May 6. The event will be for athletes of all ages and will again include So You Think You’re Fast races, in which spectators, coaches and parents can try their hands at the 100m dash for a handful of cash prizes. The North/West Zone will also be hosted at Hillside Stadium on May 9, a qualifying meet for athletes from Merritt, Revelstoke, Lillooet, Vernon, Salmon Arm, Enderby, Armstrong and Kamloops schools. The top three athletes from each event will go on to the Okanagan Track and Field Meet in Kamloops on May 18. From there, qualifying athletes will head to provincials on June 1. That last meet is the one that’s really the focus for Hwang, who hopes to run in both the 1,500m and, his specialty, the 3,000m. “Provincials is a big peak,” Hwang said. “But after that, there are still lots of competitions that I want to keep training for and keep trying to compete in.”

Armstrong: Without volunteers, KTFC events would not be possible From A21
For 22 years, Smeaton’s hearty laugh and ear-to-ear smile have been a mainstay at track and field meets. He loves doing it, he said, watching the kids compete, recording their times. “We just can’t tell you enough about their dedication and the loyalty they have, first of all to youth and then to
the club,” KTFC president Judy Armstrong said. It took roughly 75 officials to put on the Battle of the Border. “We’re so, so lucky here. It’s incredible,”

she continued. “At the Coast, they’re dying for people to come out to meets and help out and we’re fortunate enough that we never have that problem. “We could not do it without these people. They’re just fabulous.” Every person helping to run Saturday’s meet was there as a volunteer — the officials, the coaches, the merchandise salespeople, even the voice of the meet, reading out the names of hundreds of athletes across the Hillside Stadium PA system for more than eight hours. All of it so the kids, most often not theirs, would have their chances to compete. And it’s not just Kamloops. Peter Fejfar, the Battle of the Border’s technical manager, made the trip to town from North Delta
to help out. “It used to be that our kids, our children were in them,” Fejfar said. “They quit and we kept on going. We used to be coaching a bit and then we went into volunteering. That’s how we stuck with it. “We try to help the kids, that’s all it is.” For a few of the volunteers like Fejfar, there’s also a nostalgia in being part of the meets. Though he has been on the volunteer side for 45 years, Fejfar was once a sprinter himself. That was many years ago, he said with a wry smile. Still, years removed from his competition days and with no children of his own to cheer on at Hillside, there’s nothing Fejfar would have rather been doing Saturday afternoon. “We sort of stuck with it. I wouldn’t change to hockey or skating or whatever,” he said. “It’s a favourite sport of mine.”

Kelly Olynyk has scored in double figures in three of his last four games, after doing so just twice in his first 11 career playoff games. And nothing, it seems, can stop Isaiah Thomas this post-season — be it pains big or small. Thomas led the Celtics to a first-round win over Chicago in a haze after learning the day before that series began that his younger sister, Chyna Thomas, had died in a car accident outside of his native Tacoma. That pain persisted on the eve of Boston’s second-round pairing with the Washington Wizards, when he flew cross-country to attend her funeral. Then Sunday’s game brought the latest dose of adversity, when he had one of his front teeth dislodged after an early-game collision. But as Thomas has done all post-season, he continued to find a way to push through it. Thomas had 33 points and nine assists, and the Celtics made 19 three-pointers to beat the Wizards 123-111 and take a 1-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup. Game 2 is set for tonight, with tip-off slated for 5 p.m. at the TD Garden in Boston. “I got in at 4 a.m.,’’ Thomas said of his second flight to Washington in two weeks. “It’s tough, but it’s the playoffs, so there are no excuses. I decided to play and I just tried to give it all for my team.’’ The Celtics star flew to the funeral with Boston president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and assistant coach Jerome Allen. Olynyk, a South Kamloops secondary graduate, had 12 points, four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes of action. During player introductions, Thomas pointed to the TD Garden rafters when his name was called. Al Horford added 21 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Jae Crowder finished with career playoff-high 24 points. The Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers are squaring off in the other Eastern Conference semifinal. Game 1 was played last night after KTW’s press deadline, as was Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinal series between Houston and San Antonio. Utah and Golden State will play tonight in Game 1 of the other Western Conference semifinal series. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Obituaries & In Memoriam BEVERLEY R. READY (nee Taylor)
Jack Rae Aitchison “Itchy”
On April 25, 2017, Beverley, the beloved wife of Jack and mother of Keith, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Born in Kamloops October 24, 1946, the 3rd of 4 Taylor children, Bev graduated from KSS in 1964 and soon began working in the ladies wear of the new Woodwards store. She was noted for her organizational skills and decorative talent and at age 12, was very proud of the poster she created and entered in a BC wide competition. The poster won First place overall. Bevvie enjoyed travel reading, and especially the years in their South Thompson riverfront home where she loved gardening and hosted many gatherings.
Jack was on born December 1, 1940 in New Westminster BC, to James and Lillian Aitchison. Jack passed away at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, BC, on April 22, 2017 after a lengthy illness. He is survived by daughters Leanne Rensch of Kamloops, Heather Murdoch of Lima, Peru, Kim Aitchison of Sherwood Park, Alberta, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Jack is also survived by his long time companion Gale.
Beverley leaves her husband Jack, son Keith of Kamloops, stepsons Chris (Jeanne) and family of Coquitlam; Darin (Debby) and family of Vernon.
Jack was a long time members of Local 170, Plumber and Pipefitters Union, working in construction. He was proud to have worked on the construction of Expo 67 in Montreal. In his early years, Jack was an athlete, playing both hockey and lacrosse. At Jack’s request there will be no service. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com.
We wish to thank Dr. Adamarie Steyn, Dr. Shirley Sze and all the wonderful people of the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for their compassion and care during Beverley’s illness. As requested, there will be no formal service. Cremation has taken place and her ashes will be sprinkled among the wildflowers in the Kamloops hills.

For
Peace Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Harry Samuel Ferguson Harry Samuel Ferguson passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on April 27, 2017 at 70 years of age. Harry is survived by his loving wife Donna, daughters Kathy (Duane) and Susan (Ken), six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, his brother Don (Gertie) and sister Diane (Larry) as well as numerous extended families. He is predeceased by his mom and dad Mary and Alex, older brother Bob and granddaughter Maureen. Harry is well known for his love of restoring antique farm tractors and large classic trucks. He spent his life as a heavy duty mechanic and never really did stop working on equipment. He loved sharing his knowledge and teaching it at any opportunity he could. Harry met many people over his years of camping and boating, from adults to children who became lifetime friends. He made two trips to Arizona in his retirement and had love for a good game of horseshoes. If you were with him out at the lake he would spend all day on the lake pulling every kid in the campground around water skiing from dawn till dusk, and he loved doing it. Harry was known to keep the campfire going and get on the radio telling people to get off the lake as it was getting dark. The most cherished times were the days he could spend with his grandchildren as they were the light of his life. There is no formal service by request; the family would like to thank the doctors and nursing staff in the ICU at the Royal Inland Hospital and to Dr. Hollman. In lieu of flowers, please sign up and become an organ donor in honor of his memory. Too well loved to ever be forgotten. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324 Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca
Each family gets 13 months of telephone counselling care available 24/7 as often as they wish. If they have a celebration or service the attendees will be able to have three (3) months of the same counselling. We care about this community.
A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

Susan Bowers (nee Yurenka) Susan Bowers (nee Yurenka) passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 17, 2017. Mom was born on October 30, 1926 in Luky, Czechoslovakia to Paul and Katerina Yurenka. The oldest girl of four siblings, she and her family migrated to Canada in 1933. The family started and ran an orchard and vegetable farm in Mission Flats. She attended Stuart Wood School, worked as a waitress at the Top Hat Diner and became a rancher’s wife when she married Arthur Bowers in 1950. They settled in Cherry Creek and had three children Lillian, Fred and Katherin. Mom loved the outdoors and especially loved to garden. Through the years she added onto the flower and vegetable garden until the yard expanded to an impressive size. Folks liked to visit the ranch and Sunday afternoons were often spent with friends sitting in the shade of a tree enjoying tea and home baking. Mom never sat still, she was always busy sewing clothes for herself and for her family. She made many quilts processing and using the fleece to fill them. She was interested in decorating cakes and made them for many, many people. When our parents retired and moved to Paxton Valley, Mom took up painting. They would travel to Yuma in the winter and meet up with old friends there and Mom’s paintings reflected the different landscapes through their travels. Mom moved to the city in 1984 and lived in Valleyview until her move to Pine Grove Care home in 2008. Her last years were spent in the care of an excellent staff and we thank you for everything you did to keep her safe and happy. Mom was predeceased by her husband in 1987 and her three siblings, Steve, Anne and Irene. She leaves behind her three children, two granddaughters, Melissa (Brandon) Haney and Sarah (Paul) Brugger, and four great-grandchildren. A remembering of her life will take place at an informal tea July 9th, at the Bowers Ranch from 1:00 - 4:00 pm. Family and friends are invited to attend. Condolences may be sent to the family via DrakeCremation.com

THE LITTLE UNICORN by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico
There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.
He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.
The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.
In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.
For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.
He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.
He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.
His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.
All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.
He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.
To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.
His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.
He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.
His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.
But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.
But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.
She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”
A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!
