Dangerous rail cars concern Council

Ashcroft Council is eyeing the train tracks that run parallel to the Thompson and wonder-ing what’s going to roll through town next.

Council discussed rail safety at its March 10 meeting after reviewing a news article that looked at the rail cars involved in the Lac-Megantic explosion last summer, and quoted government and rail officials who spoke about the growing volume of crude oil being shipped by car and the need to replace the old cars cur-rently being used.

“It’s shocking to me,” said Coun. Helen Ko-rmendy, “that the Feds won’t do anything about it. I’m very concerned about this.”

According to the article, “Experts put the cost of retrofitting tank cars at btween $20,000 and $70,000 each. Of the 228,000 DOT-111s [cars] in service in North America, about 92,000 carry flammable liquids and 14,000 of those are new, stronger cars built after October 2011. That means about 72,000 cars would have to be retro-fitted.”

“How can we, as a municipality, be assured of safety, given the track record of these tank cars?” she asked.

“I, too, am concerned,” said Coun. Alice Durksen. “Just hearing about how much oil is transported by rail... We need to say something. We need to be proactive about it.”

Mayor Andy Anderson noted that retro-fitting 72,000 cars at $20,000 each “is pretty cheap” considering how much the Lac-Megan-tic tragedy cost everyone.

RCMP Sgt. Michel Grondin was at the Council meeting on a different matter, but was asked if his office was contacted about danger-ous materials being moved through the area by train.

Grondin said they normally are notified by the rail companies if there is something danger-ous coming through. Usually they get four days notice, but there isn’t anything they can do to stop it.

Administrator Michelle Allen pointed out that CN and CP were going to levy a surcharge on customers still using the old cars.

“These are private cars,” said Kormendy. “[The railways] should be refusing to use them. Levying a surcharge is not improving safety.”

Council voted to write to the Prime Minis-ter, Minister of Transportation, MP Mark Strahl, CN and CP urging them to deal with the matter and asking what their plans are.

Arrest warrant issuedMarch 4, 45 year old

Link Gaetz from Delta failed to appear in court for a trial confirmation hearing regard-ing a 2012 assault in Cache Creek. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Burning truckMarch 4 at 1 pm po-

lice were called to a single vehicle accident on Hwy 1 north of Cache Creek where the tires of a semi hauling a B-train of highly flammable hog fuel (treated woodchips) had caught on fire. The southbound truck was just outside of the fire suppres-sion service. The driver, a 41 year old Kamloops man, tried unsuccessfully to use a fire extinguisher. The driv-er managed to unhook the trailers and drive the burning 2014 Western Star cab away from them. The cab was a writeoff. Overheated brakes are suspected.

Cocaine truckerMarch 5 at 4 pm police

were called to Husky after receiving a complaint about a possibly impaired truck driver. Police located the 2001 Freightliner car haul-

er and the driver, a 54 year old New Westmin-ster man. The driv-er was hauling cars from Vancouver to Kamloops and stopped in Cache Creek to do some cocaine. No drugs were found on him, but he was given a 24 hour driv-ing suspension and lodged in cells until sober. His com-pany came and retrieved their truck.

Fire reportedMarch 5 at 5:45 pm po-

lice were notified by a pass-ing motorist on Hwy 97 of a structure fire in 16 Mile. Po-lice attended and discovered a controlled burn on a farm which was being monitored.

Money mattersMarch 6 at 11:30 am po-

lice were called to a down-town business in Ashcroft for a disburbance after an argument between a land-lord and tenant over rent turned into a shoving match. The two 58 year old men agreed to part and keep the peace.

Not going to make itMarch 7 at 10 am while

on a routine patrol on Hwy 1 near Hat Creek Rd., an offi-cer noted a northbound 2012 Dodge pickup travelling at 158 kph in the 100 kph zone. The driver was given a tick-et for excessive speed and his truck was impounded for seven days. The 50 year old Langley man said he was hurrying to get to his 12 year old daughter’s hockey tour-nament in Williams Lake. His daughter was also in the truck.

Goose huntingMarch 7 at 2 pm police

were called to Walhachin after receiving a complaint of gunshots heard. The of-ficer located a hunter firing at geese in a safe manner. There were no charges.

Marijuana seizedMarch 7 at 9:30 pm

Traffic Services stopped a vehicle on Hwy 1 near Spen-ces Bridge. While dealing with the driver, a 34 year old Lytton man, the officer de-

tected an odour of marijuana in the vehicle and subse-quently seized 127 grams of marijuana. It was unknown whether it belonged to the driver or to his passenger, a 36 year old Lytton woman. No charges were laid.

Impaired driverMarch 8 at 11:30 pm

Traffic Services stopped a speeding southbound 2012 Dodge pickup on Hwy 97C at the Hwy 1 turnoff. While dealing with the driver, the officer detected an odour of liquor. The 23 year old Abbotsford man refused to blow into roadside testing equipment and was given an immediate 90 day road-side driving suspension. His truck was impounded for 30 days and he was given a tick-et for having open liquor in his vehicle.

Dividing it upMarch 9 at 10 am po-

lice attended a dispute on the Bonaparte Reserve between a couple in their early 20s. The two were in the midst of splitting up and were arguing over property. They were advised to find proof of ownership and sort it out be-tween themselves.

by Tom FletcherBlack PressB.C. residents will be able to

buy B.C. wine from grocery stores by early next year, with some stores connected to liquor stores that offer full selection including hard liquor.

The provincial government re-leased its framework for a major overhaul of liquor policy Thurs-day. It proposes a small number of new licences for Vintners’ Quality Alliance (VQA) wine sales from grocery store shelves, with future expansion to include B.C.-made craft beer under the same licences.

Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap said all alcohol sales will be rung through at separate cash registers, with staff trained in an expanded “Serving It Right” course to check identification and sobriety. Customers will be able to stock up on groceries and alcohol-ic beverages in the same shopping cart, whether from in-store B.C. wine or products from a connect-ed liquor store.

Changes to take effect by this summer include licensing B.C. wine and beer sale and tasting at farmers’ markets, permitting “happy hour” drink discounts at li-censed businesses and removing the requirement for fenced beer

gardens at approved outdoor festi-vals.

Yap said the government is adopting a recommendation from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and other health officials to tie prices to alcohol content, in an effort to reduce over-consump-tion.

The government plans to main-tain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are cur-rently restricted to relocating no more than five km from their ori-ginal location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

Yap said that would allow either a government or private li-quor store to relocate next to a gro-cery store.

Another major change in the works is to wholesale pricing from the government’s monopoly Li-quor Distribution Branch. Current-ly private stores pay a 16 per cent discount off the government store retail price.

Yap said the LDB will move to the same wholesale price for all stores, based on the value of each product, and retail prices will be set by a competitive market.

Incinerator’s flyash safe to dump, MV decides

Hat Creek Ranch gets new water well

Burnaby NewsLeaderMetro Vancouver now

has approval to landfill bot-tom ash from its Burnaby garbage incinerator that had been set aside after some loads failed pollution tests.

Starting last spring, test-ing began to show some samples of bottom ash con-tained more than twice the allowed level of leachable cadmium for landfill dispos-al. Those loads were kept

under tarps instead of being dumped at the Vancouver Landfill in Delta, as usual.

Metro solid waste gen-eral manager Paul Hender-son said extensive addition-al testing found there were

tiny bits of cad-mium-con-taining material – mostly from incinerated re-chargeable bat-teries – ran-domly distrib-uted through the ash loads in what he calls a “chocolate chip phenomenon.”

With the provincial en-vironment min-istry’s approv-al, Metro staff used statistical analysis to con-clude that the ash loads as a whole were within regula-tory limits.

“In all cases, when you took enough sam-ples and did statistical an-alysis of the samples, the material was determined to be non-hazard-

ous,” Henderson said.The waste-to-energy

plant generates about five truckloads a day of bottom ash, or 50,000 tonnes per year.

Henderson said cad-mium content in garbage is generally from rechargeable batteries, as well as elec-tronic devices and toys con-taining rechargeable batter-ies.

“Those are all easily re-cyclable materials,” he said, adding Metro is planning more public education to get residents to return the prod-ucts for recycling instead of throwing them in the trash.

Henderson said Metro is also convinced the incin-erator’s fly ash, which the Cache Creek landfill refus-es to accept after some failed tests in 2012, is also non-hazardous.

But since there’s no other viable destination in B.C., Metro expects to soon sign a new three-year contract to send the fly ash to an out-of-province special waste land-fill.

That ash has so far been trucked to a landfill near Hinton, Alberta.

A consultant named by the province is still expected to make recommendations on what to do with the fly ash brought to Cache Creek in 2012.

It was always about water in the old Western movies, and that really hasn’t changed.

Historic Hat Creek Ranch has has a new well dug near the Visitor Reception Centre and expects to be “swimming” in water this year, figuratively speaking. The new well can pump 600 gallons of water per minute - a good deal more than the old well, which produced 30 gal-lons per minutes.

“In the summer we’d be awfully short of water,” said Jack Jeyes, president of the Friends of Historic Hat Creek Ranch.

He said there was a concern that there wasn’t enough for the fire suppression sprink-lers in the Visitor Reception Centre and the Roadhouse should they need them, and a fire on the grounds in 2012 showed them how quick-ly the structures could be put at risk, surrounded by dry grass, old trees and older buildings.

The group convinced Victoria that a water study should be done. Two weeks ago they got the go-ahead to start work on the design.

“It’s an investment in infrastructure, because yuou can’t rebuild the roadhouse,” he said. “We want to make sure our assets are protected, as does Victoria.

The historic sites now fall under the gov-ernance of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and Jeyes noted that the ministry has been a great help to them. MLA Jackie Tegart, a former member of the board, has also helped by lobbying on their be-half.

The Ranch plans to add hydrants around the property, add sprinkler systems to some of the old buildings, and provide water to the RV site.

The biggest concern is fire, said HHCR manager Don Pearse, “but now we have a bet-ter supply of water for events such as the Bona-parte Pow Wow. He said the new water system will also take into account the future expansion of the Visitor Reception Centre.

From 30 to 600 gallons per minute, Historic Hat Creek Ranch had a new well dug at the historic site and now the ranch is looking forward to an abundance of water. Above, the contractor is developing the well to make it ready for this year.

Forget issues, pass the muffins

Tom Fletchertfletcher@blackpress.ca

B.C.VIEWS

THE MUDDY SEASON as the snow and ice thaws - slowly

VICTORIA – Proceedings here at the B.C. legislature were briefly thrust into the spotlight last week, firing up the radio talk shows and twitter feeds.

No, it wasn’t the B.C. Liber-al government forcing through legislation to allow industrial “re-search” for things like pipeline routes in provincial parks, or the debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teach-er strike vote, as the scripted mo-tions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents.

It was muffins. More specifically, “free” muffins in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge, and a rack in-stalled to hold the said muffins at a cost of $733.

This was portrayed as part of a spending spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected Speaker last summer. In fact it’s just the latest phase of a strikingly expensive refit to pro-vide wheelchair access, which Reid has championed.

The new MLA lounge replaces a seldom-used one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit to another under-used room in the library, and equipped with big-screen TVs to follow proceed-ings, similar to those installed in the legislature chamber last year.

Everything done here is expensive, from matching ornate woodwork to upgrading ancient plumbing and wir-ing. But the public, conditioned by media to expect corruption and scan-

dal, would rather be outraged about free muffins.

Prior to this, MLAs had to troop down to the basement dining room to put muffins and coffee on their expense accounts, or have an assistant fetch them. The outraged talk shows didn’t mention that. There are access issues in the dining room too, a fact more difficult to ignore with Children and Family Development Minister Steph-anie Cadieux, Paralympian Michelle Stilwell and former Vancouver may-or Sam Sullivan now elected to serve using their wheelchairs.

A costly new outside access ramp assisted Kenny Michell, who visited last week to tell his harrowing story of the Burns Lake sawmill explosion that nearly burned him to death in 2012 and left him in a wheelchair.

The NDP brought a delegation of survivors and family members of the dead from sawdust explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George. They sup-ported the opposition’s demand for an independent inquiry, although their own demands ranged from counselling

for long-suffering wives to seeing someone punished for alleged neg-ligence.

The scandal pushed in this tra-gic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” that would likely result in acquittal.

What that means in English is that the explosion risk of extra-dry

dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny, and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what lessons can be learned.

Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of sever-al proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park.

It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Rob-son Provincial Park and Jasper Nation-al Park, without incident or scandal to date.

But back to muffingate, as it’s be-come known around here. I don’t know why people are so cynical and uninter-ested in serious issues. I wish I did.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

No doubt about it, Spring is on its way. It may have a few more stops and starts be-fore Winter is behind us, but the birds aren’t the only ones singing their Springtime song.

It’s quite amazing, in this day and age of technology, how the weather still affects our lives.

I can feel the shift as people get ready to shake off the layers of clothing they’ve worn since last November and let the sun-shine warm the near-frozen blood in their veins.

Sort of like my crocuses and hyacinths, which I hope to see again soon.

We certainly do make a noticeable shift from Winter to Summer, from indoor ac-tivities (many of us) to outdoor - even if it’s just sitting on the porch.

While it’s still only the early part of March, gardeners are planting the vegetable and flower seeds they ordered right after New Years. Stores that stock yard and gar-den items quickly packed up the snowblow-er display and set up the patio furniture. And the pond equipment. Lawn mowers. Hoses, rakes, shovels and everything else needed to make backyard life complete.

Moods change, and not always for the better. Sometimes people who were con-tent to bear out the winter quietly come out of their dens in the Spring and notice all sorts of things around them that aren’t to their liking. People who were kept indoors by the cold weather now spend their time outside making trouble, as evidenced every year by the Police Report.

But mainly, Spring is greeted here by a collective sigh of relief.

By the time June arrives, the good weather is old news and Winter but a dis-tant, bad memory. Until it rolls around once more, but let’s not go there just yet.

In our part of British Columbia, we rel-ish the long, hot seasons by passing on the indoor activities - unless you’re one of those unfortunate souls who are allergic to good weather or can’t wander too far from the air conditioner.

As the birds begin their migration back from their Winter vacations, we do our own little Springtime song and dance.

Dear EditorRe: Police Report - Driver res-

cued from burning vehicle (March 6, 2014).

After Ashcroft Hospital, we were transferred to Royal Inland Hospi-tal. We have both been released from hospital and are currently in the Van-couver area recovering from our in-juries.

We have lots of family around us but more importantly, we have each other! Fortunately our injuries are healable and in time we will be back to normal.

Once again our eternal thanks to all who stopped at the accident scene and helped us. I wish we could hug each of them and to reassure them that we are going to be okay!

Leslie Light & Anthony Verhaaf Lillooet

Dear EditorA Heartfelt and Sincere Thank

You to Dr. Serena Govindasamy and a very professional and caring team at the Ashcroft and District Hospital.

On the weekend of Feb. 14 my husband Bill was in their care for a very serious situation. The care, compassion and the timely man-ner in which we were all treated was nothing short of outstanding. They made myself and my family com-fortable knowing that Bill was in ex-cellent hands and he was in the Very Best Place possible for the situation. We Thank You all form our Hearts. You were all great and this makes our family very grateful for our “Little” Hospital in Ashcroft with such caring, quality individuals.

The Ashcroft Hospital is an inte-gral part of our community servicing

not only Ashcroft but Cache Creek, Clinton, Loon Lake and Spences Bridge, and not to forget the First Re-sponder emergency care teams who save countless lives of those travel-ling our main highways.

Dear EditorThe announcement that Ottawa

has turned down the Taseko propos-al for a gold mine near Williams Lake is a landmark decision. And it is good news.

You might even say the Fed-eral government refusal quite possibly spells a new era for land use.

The days when corporate and political power could press successfully for development in sensitive areas like the one pro-posed by Taseko near Williams

Lake may well be over. The water-shed in the area is too sensitive for that kind of massive in-trusion. Guarantees that the area would

be adequately protected by Taseko seem to have been counter-balanced by the realities of the needs and the protection needed for those who use the land and its resources and have done so for many generations.

When you start tampering mas-sively with watersheds, the results usually end up as disaster. We’ve seen that over and over again. Water sources are the most precious of our resources. Not even the promise of jobs with their corresponding benefits can balance the weight of the other.

Pt. V: Making magic

THEATRE DIARIESBarbara Roden

Wherein we follow the Winding Rivers Arts and Per-formance Society as it puts on a show. . . .

Mar. 3: An unexpect-ed cancellation by the music-al group that was scheduled to do a WRAPS-sponsored con-cert on Friday, March 14 has opened up that night, and af-ter a series of e-mails, phone calls, and consultations we de-cide to add a performance of the play. The consensus seems to be that we’re all working so hard, and having so much fun, that a fifth performance is only fitting.

Mar. 4: We’re still pulling

together costumes, so every rehears-al is pre-ceded by a thought-ful con-sideration of various items of clothing, footwear, jewelry, and acces-sories, and the high school li-brary looks like behind the scenes at a fashion show. Hair and make-up ideas are also discussed, as we try to settle on a “look” for each person. All these details will help the actors “become” their charac-ters, and we couldn’t do that

nearly as well without all this work.

Mar. 5: The difference be-tween tonight’s run-through and the first one, a little more than a week ago, is like night and day. Lines are fall-ing into place, there’s much less hesitation and faltering, and director Mavourneen Varcoe-Ryan’s notes focus on “pumping up” certain lines, and working on actions and ges-tures.

Mar. 6: It’s our last re-hearsal at Ash-croft Second-ary School, and

when we’re done we partici-pate in the ritual of “pulling up the masking tape from the li-brary floor”, a task that’s easi-er said than done. It’s not with-

out a lit-tle sadness that we say farewell to our home away from

home for the last seven weeks.Mar. 8: The day starts at

10 am, with a large and eager crew of people down at the Ashcroft Community Hall. Barb Davidge has already got the costumes there, and when the truck containing the community stage trundles up everything is unloaded and set in place in double quick time. Then a fleet of cars and trucks heads to the high school, where volunteers fan out to collect all our props, bits of set, and the flats that teacher Brent Close and his art class students have painted for us. Last, but not least, our faithful door in the library is disassem-bled and carried away to its brand new home.

The Hall is a hive of activ-ity under the eye of Jim Dun-can, and the buzz and hum of drills and saws provides a background accompaniment to all the comings and goings. One by one the flats that will make up the walls and back of the set go up and are braced while another crew works on the raised platform that has only existed in our imagina-tion until now. When the flats that have been painted with fil-ing cabinets on them – com-plete with books, a plant, and a globe on top – go up, there’s a gasp of admiration for how great they look.

However, there’s a slight

problem: we’re two flats short. The stage area ends up being deeper than we had calculated, so there’s a quick trip to Irly Bird for more lumber, and two more flats are swiftly built. Where there’s a will – plus a table saw, power drill, ham-mer, and nails – there’s a way. As I leave at 4:15 to go home for a quick freshen up before the evening’s rehearsal, I see our faithful library door being readied for its place between the newly constructed flats.

When I get back 45 min-utes later and walk into the Hall, the effect is stunning. All the flats and doors have been put in place, and the furni-ture moved on to the stage; a whiteboard adorned with no-tices and memos (“Staff meet-ing, Tuesday, 3:30”) has been hung up; and a picture of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip hangs on the back wall. The tools, screws, cables, sawdust, and nails have been cleared away, the crew is hap-pily eating pizza at the back of the Hall, and the entire set has taken on an air of serene calm which is completely at odds with the bustle and noise of only six hours earlier. We have all created, from nothing, a fully realized place that is only waiting for actors to bring it to life. It’s little short of magic.

The last cast members ar-rive, costumes are changed into, and the rehearsal starts. Being on the actual stage is tremendously exciting, and while the raised section takes a bit of getting used to everyone seems completely at home. The scripts clutched nervous-ly in hand are long gone, but until now we’ve been able to call “Line, please” if we for-get. Tonight we can’t even

do that, and although most people have their lines down there are still some pauses and hesitations. Other cast mem-bers quickly learn to step for-ward and help out when some-one else has “dried”, asking a question or giving a prompt to help the actor get back on track.

Mar. 9: The crew is back today, getting the rigging built and the lights up, add-ing decorations to the set, and hooking up the sound system. There’s a lot of work back-stage, too. Carpet is laid, to muffle the sound of people moving around; chairs are set up for actors to use be-tween scenes; tables are put in place for props; and Christmas lights are strung up to pro-vide discreet illumination that will prevent us crashing into things but won’t be seen by the audience. A storage room is converted into a make-up and change room, with tables, chairs, mirrors, and lights. All of this is a reminder that what the audience sees on stage is only the tip of a vast ice-berg, made possible through the work of many unseen but dedicated volunteers.

Two more rehearsals to go, and then it’s opening night. We’re simultaneously excited and nervous, eager to step on stage for that first performance but wondering what Wednes-day will bring. Looking back, however, we can see just how far we’ve come from that first rehearsal back in January. A daunting mountain lay in front of us then, and there were times when we wondered if we’d ever make it to the top. Now the summit is in sight, and we can’t wait. On with the show!

Friendship Tea was a great success

CiB hosts Street Banner workshop

It has been three years since the colorful banners that grace the poles on Railway Avenue were painted by local citizens. Our hot sum-mer sun, together with wind and winter cold has faded the banners so the time has come to re-place them.

A workshop to paint new banners will be held March 18-19 from 6-9 p.m. in the Ash-croft Community Hall. Hosted by Ashcroft Communities in Bloom committee with assist-ance from local artist, Jo Petty, the workshop will be free thank you to funding from the United Way.

We are inviting local citizens of all ages to participate in this event. As there are a limited num-ber of spots available, people are encouraged to register as soon as possible by calling Andrea Walker at 250 453-9402. We ask that children be 8 years or older, but if a child between 6-8 wishes to paint that they be accompanied by an adult.

Eight ladies an-swered the roll call at the March 4 meeting of the United Church Women in the Zion church hall. The meet-ing was held at 1:15 pm instead of 2 pm because of the Shrove Tuesday pan-cake supper in our hall at 5:30. President Reta Robertson warmly welcomed everyone.

Jacklin Desrosiers lead the devotional taken from the book The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. The scrip-ture was from Mark 10:43. We need to remember to make the most of what God has given us.

The first item of Old Busi-ness was an evaluation of the Friendship Tea. We had a good turnout and everyone enjoyed the fun, fellowship and food, so thank you to all who helped to make it a success. World Day of Prayer readers were assigned for this event in the

Anglican Church Saturday, March 8 at 11 am. It was fol-lowed by a lunch in the hall.

Bean Supper plans were finalized and it is hoped we will have a good turnout.

The correspondence was dealt with – a thank you card from someone who enjoyed the Friendship Tea; A request from Action International for an email address; A request from Naramata Centre for summer help; and a generous Gift Certificate towards our dishwasher.

Reports were then given and our treasurer Colleen Mierau handed out a writ-ten report. Our sunshine lady Dorothy Pears read out her re-port stating she has sent out 13

cards. The publicity re-port was given verbal-ly by Phyllis Gray, and Hilda Drinkwater re-ported on the archives update. Reta Rob-ertson, for outreach,

said that many Campbell soup labels had come in, but even more used stamps. Please keep saving us the Campbell prod-ucts’ labels as they help with Christian work elsewhere. On April 25 it will be the United Church’s turn to host the Soups On in the United Church hall.

We are to bring three Easter cards each for the residents of Garden Oasis to use to our next meeting which will be Apr. 8 at 2 pm – one week later in the month because of the absence of some members.

We closed with the U.C.W. Prayer at 3 pm. Any ladies in-terested in coming as a visitor or to join in are most welcome.

Items we have purchased included three patient lifts for Jackson House, two Vital Sign monitors, a heavy duty defib-rillator, two pressure reduction mattresses and an ultrasound machine to which we contrib-uted moneys.

The money has been raised mainly through sales at the Health Care showcase and at the thrift shop. Members work long hours to sort donated items, clean them and display them for sale.

GOLDEN COUNTRYBARBARA RODEN

Death on the Range - Pt. V: In the hands of the CourtsThe � rst inquest into the shooting death of Thom-

as Burton Smith, scheduled for Feb. 15, 1915, had been held over pend-ing “further develop-ments”. Those develop-ments included the ar-rest of Smith’s partner, Albert Lester “Chubby” Clinger, who claimed that Smith had robbed him while the pair were on the way to Ashcroft, and had then � ed into the night.

The discovery of Smith’s body with a bul-let hole through the back of his head had made the matter much more ser-ious, and every piece of evidence that District Chief of Police Frank Aiken found pointed in the direc-tion of Clinger as Smith’s killer. The clincher was a cheque drawn on Smith’s account, and supposedly signed by him – but it was dated a week after the man had died. Comparison with a letter written by Albert Clinger showed that the cheque had been forged by Smith’s erstwhile partner.

A second inquest was held in Clinton on Mar. 4, 1915, and Aiken’s evidence was laid before the jury. The Ashcroft Journal of Mar. 13, 1915 included a report on the inquest, which was held by Coroner George Sanson. The proceedings lasted most of the day, and at around 4 pm the jury brought in a verdict “that the deceased had come to his death by a bullet from a gun held in the hands of one Chubby Cling-er”.

Clinger, who had been in custody for more than two weeks, was immediately brought before Magis-trate Lunn for a preliminary hearing which lasted through the evening and continued the next morning. Chief Constable Frank Aiken conducted the proceed-ings, which saw more than a dozen witnesses called to give evidence. Who they all were, and what they said, was not recorded; but the upshot, which was al-most certainly never in doubt, was that Clinger was sent up for trial at the Clinton Spring Assizes, sched-uled to take place in May.

Courts of Assize, or Assizes, were criminal courts which were held at regular intervals – quarter-ly or bi-yearly – in different locations. Local courts

would hear details of cases within their jurisdiction, and pass the most serious cases on to be dealt with at

the next local Assizes. The system originated in England in the thirteenth century, when a scattered population and dif� cult travel condi-tions meant that it was impractical to hold all major trials in London, but prohibitively ex-pensive to have permanent courts, with law-yers and judges, all around the country. Thus the Assizes was a sort of traveling courthouse, visiting different locations on a regular sched-ule to hear major cases which needed the ex-perience of seasoned legal professionals.

The murder of Thomas Burton Smith – or Rex vs. Clinger, as it was formally known – was one of four capital cases due to be heard over the course of the Clinton Spring Assizes in 1915. Rather less seriously (but still ob-viously important enough to be heard at the

Assizes), the ses-sion also featured a case in which a man was accused of the theft of one steer, property of the Marquess of Exeter (who owned Bridge Creek Ranch near 100 Mile House). Clinton’s court-house had burned down some time previously, and as a replacement had not been built the one-room Clin-ton schoolhouse, built in the 1890s of locally made bricks, was turned into a makeshift courthouse whenever the Assizes were in session.

Without a schoolhouse, the children of Clinton were free to play outside for the duration of the trials, so it’s not hard to imagine that an occasion which brought punishment to some was seen as no pun-ishment at all by the students. Eventually a new, lar-ger schoolhouse was built, and the old schoolhouse became the full-time courthouse until the 1950s. In

1956 it became home to the Clinton Museum and Ar-chives, a function it serves to this day.

Frank Aiken had not been idle in the weeks lead-ing up to the trial. Somewhere he had found an un-signed bill-of-sale, supposedly written by Thom-as Burton Smith, which left all of Smith’s person-al effects to Albert Clinger. It also left to Clinger the property and house which the two men had jointly owned at Springhouse Prairie. This in itself was a damning piece of evidence, for it gave Albert Cling-er an even stronger motive for killing his partner than merely gaining access to the $1,000 Smith had in his account at the Bank of British North America in Ash-croft. However, an examination of the bill-of-sale made it even more damaging to Clinger, for it proved to be written in Chubby’s own hand.

It is safe to say that the 1915 Spring Assizes in Clinton were highly anticipated, and the brick school-house doing duty as a court would have been packed

with observers keen to see all of the trials scheduled for the session. The disappoint-ment must have been palpable when it was announced that the case of Rex vs. Cling-er was to be “traversed” – held over – to the Fall Assizes. It turned out that Con-stable Jack Bourne, who had assisted Aik-en in � nding the body of Thomas Smith, and who would undoubtedly be a key wit-ness at the trial, was unable to attend. The Ashcroft Journal of May 15, 1915 re-ported drily that Bourne was prevented from attending “because of an accident to himself while pursuing a runaway prisoner through the window of a moving train near Squamish”. In what sounds like a scenario ripped from a blockbuster adventure � lm, Bourne – whose very surname says “ac-tion hero” – was badly injured by broken glass when he managed to retrieve a pris-oner who was trying to escape custody by leaping through the window of a Paci� c Great Eastern Railway train.

Albert Clinger now had � ve months to wait be-fore he could have his day in court. The case against him seemed open-and-shut; but he would have an op-portunity to speak, and lay out his side of the story. And that side of the story proved to be very compel-ling indeed.

Raise a family and keep your daily workoutsA working mother of four children

has a very hectic schedule to simply manage a family, never mind getting a proper workout done each day. Here is my interview with a local woman who manages to get both done quite well.

Tracy was very fit growing up, cycling everywhere around Toronto as she didn’t get her drivers license until she was 21. She also enjoyed doing the 20min workout video every mor-ning.

When she moved to BC, her family moved into the “boonies”. After com-plications with a pregnancy, she be-came depressed with the isolation, and started gaining weight.

Now weighing the heaviest in her life, she had to do something. So she joined a walking club in Ashcroft. Al-though the walking every day was good for releasing some stress, and great way to meet new people, it took a friend’s words of encouragement that told her that she’s not a walker, she’s a runner.

So she started running, up and down the gravel roads and trails by her house, and up and down the slough road, she puts the miles in with a child or two in

her stroller. This is when the pounds really started coming off.

In a short while she lost 40 pounds. With little money for new running gear, she found good deals at thrift stores. Always carrying her bear spray for protection, she finds a spiritual peace with nature while out running around her home - never mind the enormous stress release.

She has an agreement with her family that she needs her one hour per day of “mommy time” to get her workout in.

Super mom Tracy still enjoys cycling, her daily 20min workout video from CityTV, skiing and hiking with

her familyHaving a couple marathons

notched into her race belt as well as a few half marathons, the run-ning bug is definitely what keeps Tracy healthy and active.

Tracy’s future plans are to do a 50km ultramarathon in Vernon this summer, and the Lululemon Seawheeze half marathon.

When I come up with crazy ideas like “let’s ride our bicycles

to Clinton, run a 10km race, then ride home,” Tracy is the only one who joins in.

If you need inspiration or motiv-ation, Tracy Kubik is a good friend to have.

That’s defi nitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offl oad the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected offi cials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

The Journal Thursday, March 13 2014 www.ash-cache-journal.com A 13COMMUNITY

Quesnel versus Clinton with Ryan Kucera (formerly of Clinton) in net for Quesnel. Final score of this game was 13-2 for Quesnel.

The Mobile Vet Clinic in the parking lot of the Cariboo Lodge where it will be set up every Tuesday.

Spirit of Clinton forges aheadCariboo Country Mobile Vet

There is now a mo-bile veterinary clinic that services the south Cariboo. The fully equipped trailer is moved from commun-ity to community on a set schedule. Look for

it at the Interlakes area on Thursdays, in Clinton every Tuesday, parked at 70 Mile House Wednesdays – twice a month and in Lac La Hache on Wednesday – twice a month.

Pat Barker, DVM and Michelle Collett, RAHT are able to provide pet vaccinations, dentistry, spay/neuter services, in house laboratory, day sur-gery, physical examinations and wellness programs, lab and diagnostic services, surgical and pharmaceutical services and more.

More information on this new mobile service is available on their website at www.cariboomobilevet.com.

Final Hockey TournamentThe final hockey tournament of the season played out in the 47 Mile

Recreation Complex on March 8-9 with seven teams vying for top spot.The teams were the L’Heureux Team, Warren Team, Bonaparte Team,

Dougherty Team, Beeds Team, Quesnel Team and Clinton Team. Four of the seven teams were actually from Clinton.

The mixed teams battled it out all weekend but unfortunately my deadline came before the end of the tournament.

Following the tournament the arena closed for the season.

Daffodil TeaThe Clinton Seniors Association is hosting the Annual Daffodil Tea

on Wednesday, March 12 from 1-3 p.m. in the Clinton Memorial Hall.The sunny daffodil blossoms will be a welcome reminder that spring

really will come. Come out and support the Seniors Association. A por-tion of the proceeds will go to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Regular Council MeetingsThe regular meetings of the Village of Clinton Council are held at 7

p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The meetings in March are on the 12 and 26 in Council Chambers.

This is an election year for municipal governments in British Colum-bia. If you have ever given any thought to running for a position on coun-cil then you may want to attend a few council meetings to get an idea of what the Council is responsible for. Even if you are not thinking of run-ning in the next election you may want to see your elected officials in ac-tion. These are the people you put your faith in to govern your commun-ity. Do you know what type of job they are doing?

Some time before the election in the fall you may want to attend some council meetings to help you make informed decisions at the ballot box.

150/50 Committee ChangesThe community wants to continue with a committee similar to the

150/50 Committee that was formed in 2013 to oversee the events during the two important anniversaries that were celebrated in Clinton last year.

A meeting was held on Feb. 5 to determine how the committee could continue in some capacity. All those who had been members of the 150/50 committee were invited to attend as well as any one else who may be in-terested.

Those in attendance decided to establish a new committee, tentative-ly known as the Spirit of Clinton Committee. It would continue along the lines of the original 150/50 committee promoting not for profit events but also incorporate the Recreation Commission and help make decisions on Clinton’s Millennium Fund.

This group will be meeting again on Thursday, March 13 at 7 p.m. in the Village Office. Everyone is welcome to attend whether they are a member of this committee or not.
