Ashcroft elects new councillor
while travelling at a high velocity. “The damage is consistent with an unsurvivable collision with the ground,” he said. “The understanding of why that happened, there’s a lot of work yet to be done.” With a survey of the site mostly complete, the Cessna will be transported to Kamloops, where it can undergo further analysis as needed. Yearwood said he expects it will likely be months before the TSB issues a final report on Perreault’s death. The TSB has opted to do a longer, more in-depth investigation of the crash, beyond what would be required by the B.C. Coroners Service, Yearwood said. “When we look at these circumstances, we try to determine if there is something we could learn in doing a full investigation that could help the public and the aviation community avoid a similar occurrence.” “This occurrence is in a mountainous area,” Yearwood said. “I can’t say whether at this point the issues were re-
Doreen Lambert has been returned as Councillor for the Village of Ashcroft, according to the final results of the by-election held on Aug. 10. Lambert (144 votes) was one of three candidates for the position, which was left vacant when Jackie Tegart resigned following her provincial election win in May. The other two candidates were Jessica Clement (128) and Alf Trill (96). “I’m feeling tired,” said Lambert, the day after her victory. “Yesterday was a long day. I’m looking forward to a new challenge, a new experience. I’ll need some guidance until I find my feet, though.” She feels that she is more than a one-issue candidate. “The Village faces more issues than just the branding,” she said. “I think our biggest issue is that we need a council that listens, that doesn’t just pay lip service to people’s concerns. “We’re working for the people, the taxpayers. We have to listen to them.” A total of 369 votes were cast for the three candidates, representing approximately 27% of the Village’s registered voters. This contrasts with the last by-election for Village council, in 2003, when Councillor Peter Rolston passed away a year into his term. A total of 694 votes were cast on that occasion. Turnout for the four advance voting days was strong, with more people voting during the advance polls (186) than on voting day itself (183). This contrasts with previous years, when advance voters accounted for as few as 10% of votes cast. All three candidates were disappointed by the low turnout. Doreen Lambert would like to have seen more people voting, but added, “I’m grateful to all who came out, regardless of who they voted for.” Jessica Clement was disappointed by the low numbers. “It was sad to see,” she said. “I don’t know if it was because it was summer, or because it was only for a one-year term, but it

ROCKIN’ IN THE DESERT The 4th annual Desert Daze Music Festival took place in Spences Bridge at the weekend. An enthusiastic crowd gathered under sunny skies to hear the musical stylings of performers such as Miss Quincy and The Showdown (bottom left), cool off in the beer garden, try their luck at a handcrafted prize (above), and enjoy the festive atmosphere. The event finished in the black this year, and organizers are already looking towards a fifth Festival in 2014. Photos by Christopher Roden
Plane crash near Cache Creek claims one life A plane crash near Cache Creek took the life of a 16-yearold student pilot last week. Lorne Perrault, a student at St. Ann’s Academy in Kamloops, went missing in a single-prop 172 Cessna after taking off from Kamloops Airport. He apparently crashed in the hills near Cache Creek, in steep and near-inaccessible terrain. Perrault was training for his pilot’s licence and had almost 100 hours of flying experience. He took off from Kamloops Airport for what was supposed to be a two-hour solo flight on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 6, performing exercises in the area near Kamloops Lake. Perrault and the plane were found at about 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 7, by a team in a Royal Canadian Air Force Buffalo aircraft. Investigators for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) arrived last Thursday to look into the crash. They have now completed most of the “field phase” of their inquiry. Based on photos of the site, TSB regional manager for aviation accident investigations Bill Yearwood said it appears the plane collided with the ground at a steep angle

From bad to worse
On Aug. 10 at 1:50 am police were called to an Ashcroft residence, where a male witnessed another male, who was apparently intoxicated, throwing chairs at a stationary Ford pickup truck, which sustained $500 in damage. An argument ensued between the two men, and a fight started. When police arrived the intoxicated man reported that he was upset because he had just broken up with his girlfriend. The man was arrested for mischief and taken to the detachment. While in the process of being charged, officers found two crack pipes and a small bag of marijuana on the man’s person. The man was released on a promise to appear in court; a date of Sept. 26 has been set. The matter is still under investigation.

Reckless cooking
On Aug. 11 at 10:00 am a Break and Enter was reported at a residence on Old Cornwall Rd. in Ashcroft. The B&E occurred some time between Aug. 9 – 11, and the front door had been damaged when someone gained entry to the house. After investigating, police found that the perpetrator was the complainant’s son, who had come to the house to cook a crab dinner. The son denied causing any damage to the door. Nothing had been stolen, and no charges were laid.

Consul General plans Ashcroft visit After a very successful early August visit to Ashcroft, it was time for the visiting Japanese dignitaries from our sister city to head home to Bifuka with many pleasant memories to share. However, there was one more important stop for Mayor Yamaguchi and the other delegates to make, this time in Vancouver. They were invited to dine with Japan’s Consul General, Seiji Okada, at his officialresidence on Aug. 7. Also attending the dinner were Ashcroft residents Aki and Hiroko Kanamaru, and Councillor Helen Kormendy, representing the Village of Ashcroft. Upon their arrival, the guests were welcomed by staff and offered refreshments in the formal reception room, which is exquisitely decorated with artwork symbolic of Japanese culture. From there the group headed off to sign the formal guest book, using a special calligraphy brush. This was followed by dinner, where the guests were met by a very welcoming Consul General and his wife. This is Mr. Okada’s first summer in Vancouver, and he mentioned his enjoyment of the city’s more temperate, and less humid, climate. Japan has had an Embassy in Canada since 1877, and there are currently 32 sister city relationships between Japanese cities and B.C. Municipalities. The upcoming 20th anniversary sister city celebrations in Bifuka, taking place in 2014, were of great interest. The Consul General expressed his intention of visiting Ashcroft before that date. The delegates were given a tour of the very splendid traditional Japanese garden on the Embassy site. The garden also contains tomatoes, cucumbers, and kidney beans, planted with Mr. Okada’s “green thumbs”, and they were thriving indeed. It was an honour to have been invited to share a lovely formal evening, and to discuss the connection between Japan and B.C. It was clear that the sister city relationship between Bifuka and Ashcroft is highly regarded and valued by our sister city visitors, and by the Japanese Consul General.

New park unlikely for Spences Bridge Though the final tally is not yet in, it appears unlikely that there will be a park at the Spences Bridge school grounds anytime soon. As of last week nearly 70 petitions supporting the park status had been turned in, but that fell a little short of the required 88. On the upside, the challenge of locating the owners of all 175 parcels in the designated park area wasn’t completely successful. There were also parties who owned several blocks of parcels, and who were not ready for a park in Spences Bridge. Given those factors, the significant number of folks who took the time to send in their petitions showed strong sentiment on both sides. We will have the official result next week, but I’d like to take this time to thank the great group of volunteers who helped get the word out. Your efforts were greatly appreciated.

History comes alive at Museum open house Step into the past this summer, when the Ashcroft Museum holds its annual open house. Two tours start at 9:00 am on Friday Aug. 23, both of them highlighting the rich history of the town and the area. Kathy Paulos will be leading an outdoor walking tour, which begins at the Museum and takes in some of the many historic buildings in Ashcroft, including the Museum itself, the Opera House, the Journal office, the Community Hall (did you know it was originally a schoolhouse?), and the town’s churches. The tour will continue down Railway to the sites of Ashcroft’s Chinatown and its various bridges, then back to the Museum past some of the historic houses on Brink Street. For those who want to beat the heat, and who would prefer to stay inside in air-conditioned comfort, there will also be an indoor tour of the Museum. It starts at 9:00 am, and is conducted by Aneka Battel, who will escort guests around the Museum and discuss some of its many displays, photographs, and artifacts about the history of Ashcroft and the surrounding area. Visitors are encouraged to test their know-
ledge by playing the always popular “What on earth is that?” game, which involves trying to puzzle out what some of the Museum’s more odd and offbeat items are. When the two tours converge there will be an indoor presentation about the historic Bryson House on Brink St., one of the oldest homes in the town. Built in 1900 by blacksmith J.D. Bryson, the building was purchased and first lived in by Dennis Murphy, a lawyer. The house, which retains many of its original features, is now owned by Dolly Lowe. Also planned is a presentation on the Ashcroft Hospital Ladies Auxiliary. It was founded on Aug. 14 1913, less than two weeks after the opening of Ashcroft’s hospital, and is still going strong as it enters its second century. Coffee and refreshments will be served, and there is no charge for the event. If you have visitors who’d like to learn something about Ashcroft, or you’re a resident who would like to find out more about a specific place or event, mark Aug. 23 in your calendar and come down to the Ashcroft Museum. History is all around; and it’s always more interesting with a knowledgeable guide to lead the way!
A presentation about the historic Bryson House on Brink Street will be just one of the events at the Ashcroft Museum’s open house on Aug. 23. Built in 1900, it’s one of the oldest houses in town and contains many original features, including the coloured glass window to the right of the front door. Photo by Barbara Roden

It’s too darned hot “Hot enough for you?” It’s a common question round these parts in summer, and fairly innocuous; a simple pleasantry, on a par with “Some wind we had yesterday, huh?” and “How about those Lions/Canucks/Whitecaps/other sports franchise?”, or any other form of words meant to establish a connection and a friendly tone. However, that particular phrase – “Hot enough for you?” – makes my blood boil, which is not a good thing when the temperature is closer to 40 than 30. I usually just smile weakly, and mumble something about yes, it really is hot, isn’t it, while in my mind I want to go full-on Ebenezer Scrooge. You’ll remember the scene, early in A Christmas Carol, where Scrooge’s nephew wishes the old curmudgeon a merry Christmas. “If I could work my will,” Scrooge replies indignantly, “every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.” As Scrooge is with “Merry Christmas”, so I am with “Hot enough for you?” (although I’ll leave you to imagine with what, and where, I’d like to impale someone when I hear him say it). If I were being honest, my reply would be, “Yes; yes, it is hot enough for me. Indeed, it’s more than hot enough for me. In fact” – and here I’d lean closer in to my questioner, if it wasn’t so hot, and drop my voice as if imparting a deep secret – “I’d go so far as to say that this is much, much too hot for me. My hair follicles are perspiring. I am peeling exposed flesh from any plastic or leather surfaces I am unfortunate enough to come in contact with. I am in danger of first degree burns from touching the front door handle for more than two seconds. I am almost envying members of the Franklin Expedition, because even though they resorted to cannibalism before starving to death in the Arctic, they were at least able to keep cool. So in answer to your question: yes. It is safe to say that it really is more than hot enough for me.” But I don’t say this, because I know that even if I try to make any of the above sound light-hearted my questioner will immediately look puzzled. “But,” he will say, clearly trying hard to comprehend the information I have just imparted, “but you have to expect that here. Why’d you move to a desert if you don’t like the heat?” Well, it’s not that I don’t like heat; it’s just the excessive heat, where it doesn’t even cool down appreciably at night, that I don’t enjoy. I moved to Ashcroft knowing what summers were like here, and came despite that, not because of it. I think of it as a trade-off. I endure a certain number of days of scorching heat in summer; in exchange I get springs, summers, and winters that are just about perfect for me. A period of blistering temperatures in July and August is the price I pay. So if I look a little pained when you ask me “Hot enough for you?” you’ll know why. Or it could be because I’m thinking about getting into my car, which will have an interior temperature I could roast meat in. Ah well, you know what else they say here, this time of year. At least it’s a dry heat. . . .

Cache Creek bus service a necessity
leTTerS To The eDiTor
Dear Editor, This is an open letter to Cache Creek council, regarding the health connections bus. What have you done to reinstate transportation for seniors from C.C. to Ashcroft? I grew up in Cache Creek; my mother still lives there in the house she and my father built before much of the town was settled. My father served many years on the Cache Creek council and fought for many benefits you all enjoy today. Frankly, I am relieved he doesn’t know of the lack of respect and the inconsideration you have shown the seniors of your town in taking away funding for the health connections bus from Cache Creek to Ashcroft. My mother still holds her driver’s license, but I worry what will happen if one day she can not drive. Do you at all care? While some enjoy Graffiti days/free Mothers’ Day flights/free swimming at the pool . . . what have you done for the seniors? You opt out of the only transportation that allows them to keep their independence. You voted down the funding without any referendum, and have not followed up with any other op-
tion for them to get to their doctors’ appointments, the drugstore, or full grocery services. There should be no issue of funding here – it is a basic necessity. To the councillors who ask for votes when the election is drawing near: I would suggest you don’t bother asking any seniors for support, unless you actually plan on representing their needs. I urge all seniors to note this issue when this council is next up for election and ask the question. “What will you do for seniors if elected?” To those who voted for opting out of the health bus connection – you should be ashamed of yourselves. You don’t deserve the vote of any senior who lives there; and remember, you will be one yourself one day. The message you have sent to the seniors of Cache Creek is “Live here and pay taxes, but when you are too elderly or your health fails and you can no longer hold a license – move to Ashcroft!” You are not doing what you were elected to do: represent all who pay taxes in Cache Creek. This issue needs attention.

Dear Editor, Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s anti-gay law brought to mind a quote from Niemoller, a German Protestant pastor who spent seven years in a Nazi concentration camp for being an outspoken foe of Hitler. He said “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.” Let’s not let history repeat itself by letting others condemn innocent people. We must stand up for everyone’s right to exist with tolerance and compassion. Boycotting sports that young people have trained for for years is not the answer. All countries could ensure the safety of all our athletes by demanding written safeguards from Putin for all people attending. That could be the first step in ending this law.

Whodunit? Murder mystery coming Jazz and Blues at this Wednesday’s Music in the Park
Winding Rivers Arts and Performance Society presents “Music in the Park” in Ashcroft every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month in summer. The next concert is on Wednesday, Aug. 14 and will feature the sweet soul/blues sounds of the Andrea Smith duo from Nanaimo. Andrea is a velvetvoiced blues, roots, rock, and jazz singer falling somewhere between Bonnie Raitt and Kathleen Edwards, with hints of Eva Cassidy. Andrea Smith has been playing music professionally for the past 25 years. She studied songwriting with Mae Moore and Ron Hines at the B.C. Festival of the Arts in 2001, as well as jazz performance at the VIU, where she graduated in 2011. Her style—described as crossover—is influenced by blues, country, pop, and jazz idioms. In 2005 Andrea won first place in the songwriting competition at the Shuswap Lakes International Writers Festival. In 2007 her second CD,
CREATIVE CURRENT Nadine Davenport creativecurrent@ telus.net Sweet Embrace, took home both the Female Songwriter and Producer/Engineer of the Year (for Pat Coleman and Rick Salt) Awards at the Vancouver Island Music Awards. Karla Cummins will be our local opener. Bring the whole family to a great night of music; don’t forget the lawn chairs or a blanket. The music starts at 7:00 pm, and the concert ends at approximately 9:30. Pass-the-hat-donations are encouraged. Be sure to come early—the park fills up fast!
Adult acting classes, and a murder mystery
Winding Rivers Arts and Performance Society is pleased to offer adult-only acting classes that will run from Aug. 13 - Sept. 3. This set of workshops will focus on how to spend your time on stage, and acting with an ensemble. These acting workshops will help cultivate some great actors for our upcoming community play performance of a unique kind—a murder mystery. Cafe Murder is going be held at a local venue, with dates and prices to be finalized soon. Rehearsals for Cafe Murder will take place from Sept. 10—Oct. 8, with casting happening in late August. There is the possibility of multiple casting depending on the number of people who want to take part. The play is about Rosemary Saint-John, a loud, annoying hypochondriac convinced she is allergic to water. While celebrating her birthday at a restaurant with her four kooky siblings—a hippie, a valley
girl, a trucker, and a banker—Rosemary makes enemies with everyone around her. When she disappears and is presumed murdered, the only objective witnesses in the restaurant are the audience members, who must cast their vote. Whodunit? Was it one of Rosemary’s siblings? The self-taught detective? The passionate French chef? The polite and proper mâitre d’? The sarcastic waiter? No one is above suspicion in this delightful dinner theatre murder mystery! For more information please email windingriversarts@gmail.com The next Ashcroft Music in the Park concert, on Wednesday or phone (250) 453-9100. Aug. 14 at the Heritage Park on Railway, features Nanaimo’s
Ashcroft Fall Fair entertainment line-up
Andrea Smith Duo.
This year’s Ashcroft Fall Fair is just three weeks away, and takes place on Sunday, Sept. 11 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Drylands Arena. Blue Jeans and Country Scenes is what you’ll see at this year’s Fair. Come learn the history of denim, and ways to repurpose those old jeans. Listen to country music while you check out the variety of vendors and the homemade products on display. There will be children’s entertainment and lots of activities to keep them busy. The headliners this year are a great band from Vancouver called Backdoor Slam. You can enjoy some great country and western swing from Kat Wahamaa (guitar/vocals), Jennie Bice (fiddle/vocals), Tony Rees (guitar/vocals), and Joe Samorodin (upright bass/vocals). Collectively, they’ve received rave reviews for their music all over the globe. Soaring vocals, strong harmonies, flying fiddle, swingin’ guitar, harmonica, bass, mandolin, and washboard comprise their unmistakable sound. Their name comes from a line in a 1946 version of the tune “I’ll Get Mine Bye and Bye”, and you’d better believe they are all invested in “getting their own” brand of music out to the hungry ears of the listening public. The music they play?

Health Care Auxiliary celebrates 100 years of service As of the date of today’s paper, the Ashcroft & District Health Care Auxiliary begins its second century of operation. It was founded on Aug. 14 1913, only days after the new Lady Minto Hospital had opened in Ashcroft. The Aug. 22 1913 issue of the Ashcroft Journal contained an article about the new group, headlined “Ladies Auxiliary Formed: First Annual Meeting Held In Schoolhouse”. The report said, in part: “A meeting of the greater part of those ladies interested met in the schoolhouse on the afternoon of the 14th inst., and formed a Ladies’ Auxiliary in connection with the Ashcroft and District General Hospital. The meeting was called to order at about 3:30 p.m. . . . Many matters of interest to the hospital were discussed, and it was decided that meetings would be held monthly on the second Thursday of each month. . . . We trust that the good work thus so pleasantly and unanimously begun will continue throughout the existence of the Lady Minto Hospital. Seventeen members have joined the Aid, and $1.00 is the membership fee.” One of the ADHCA’s first fundraising events was a dance in 1913, which brought in $150 (approximately $3500 today) to support the hospital. It was the start of a century of raising funds, all of which go to benefit not only the hospital in Ashcroft, but healthcare of all types throughout the area. Over the years the ADHCA has pre-
sided over horse race meets, teas, raffles of donated goods (including a Ford motorcar in the 1920s, donated by a local Ford dealership), dances, the sale of homemade goods (including knitted and sewn items), movie nights, bake sales, and educational presentations. In June 1963 the Auxiliary opened its Thrift Store on Railway, on the site where Safety Mart currently stands. Founded by Dollie Norrie, and now located at the Village Office on Bancroft St., the shop is now the ADHCA’s main source of revenue. Over the last century, the money raised by the Auxiliary has funded numerous projects and purchases. In its early days the focus was on giving aid to the upkeep of what began as the Lady Minto Hospital in Ashcroft. Items purchased for the hospital include beds, bedding, and pyjamas; storm windows; vinyl flooring; bedding and furnishings for the nurses’ quarters; awnings; an incubator; wheelchairs; an auxiliary battery-powered plant for the operating room; air conditioning units; operating room instruments; an X-ray machine and table, as well as lead lining for the X-ray room; emergency lamps; bassinets; a foetal monitor; a cardiac defibrillator; a whirlpool bath; a heart monitor; and electric beds. Changes to the Ashcroft hospital in recent years have led the ADHCA to expand its support to other hospitals used by area residents. Donations have been made to Royal Inland Hospital in Kam-
loops, to assist in purchases for the Intensive Care facility and to help provide a new CT scanner. The Auxiliary has also donated funds to the Cancer Clinic in Vancouver. Members of the ADHCA have always given their support to organizations which promote the health and well-being of all. Within a year of the group’s formation came the start of World War One, and many Auxiliary members worked for the Red Cross; something which happened again during World War II. In 1948 the Auxiliary held a very successful X-ray clinic, which was attended by more than 300 people. Since then the group has staged blood donor clinics, sponsored a group of students known as “Candy Stripers” who helped staff One of a series of posters created with chores and visited patients, and by Marilyn Bueckert and Kathryn arranged the twice-yearly mammo- Garcia for the Health Care Auxiliary’s gram clinics for the area.

You’ll get all the excitement, colour, tastes, and pageantry of the opening of the lower section of what was hailed as the “eighth wonder of the world” when it was built in 1863. “We have a wonderful weekend of family fun and a taste of living history celebrating the 150th anniversary of the opening of this historic route,” said Deb Zervini, Yale Historic Site Supervisor.

mour, she has delighted audiences throughout Western Canada, Japan, and the U.S. Her experience as a disciple of the danse du ventre, or so-called belly dance, is evident from the hip style rhythm guitar, mandolin, and washboard. Kat’s website is at www.katwahamaa.com. Fiddle player Jennie Bice came to Vancouver in search of other musicians driven enough to play the speed she wanted, and bold enough to try some of her ideas. Jennie’s recordings and concerts span many genres, along with Celtic styles, and include Cuban Latin, jazz, rockabilly, classical, country, and Cajun, amongst others, which accounts for her unique playing style. Jennie fronts the band Prydwen (www. prydwen.com), also plays with such folks as “Mad Pudding”, and has toured internationally. Tony Rees was born in Bristol, England and was drawn to the folk music scene that flourished in the U.K. during his teens. He is a proponent of Bob Wills, Memphis Minnie, and the Blasters. Tony plays swing, folk, and blues guitar, and the harmonica, and has a decidedly unique vocal sound. Take a look at www.shinybuckle.com for info on his Western Swing ensemble Shiny Buckle Band. He and Kat tour as a duo internationally. Joe Samorodin’s roots stem from the west. He’s a restless soul, which causes him to redirect the energy of a performance into a nonstop dance that sometimes ends up in the audience. He feeds on this, and his fretless and stand-up bass playing reflects the many rhythms that have crossed his path and become ensnared in his persona. Joe can also be found at www. prydwen.com. Backdoor Slam will be performing two afternoon sets at the Arena Stage, which will no
doubt be a very fun time. Other entertainment throughout the day will be Filetta Fish and her One Woman Circus; and don’t miss Ashcroft favourites The Kamloops Old Time Fiddlers. It will be a great time for all. Don’t forget to get your entries in for this year’s fair. Program books are around town, and forms are online. See you there! www.ashcroftfallfair.net.

The definition of a single parent
Does a person qualify to be called a single parent if their financial and time responsibilities are split in half with their ex? That question came up recently, while I was having lunch with a couple of new friends - one who has her children every second week, and the other who has her kids full time, with no help at all, financially or otherwise. “I’m so sick of people calling themselves a single parent when they have it so easy,” one said to the other with an irritated tone. “You’re not paying for everything on your own, like I’ve always had to do. And you have an entire week off, 26 times a year. I can’t even remember the last time I had a night to myself.” Her outburst came after the other woman referred to herself as being a single mother. The conversation immediately became so heated I felt like I was watching an aggressive tennis match, and hoping the ball
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com wouldn’t fly off the court and hit me in the face. While it was an interesting topic of discussion, it was uncomfortable to be in the middle, considering the history, emotions and raised voices between the two ladies I was just getting to know. A little time has passed since then, and the hurtful things that were said during the lunch have been worked out to the point that both of them were fine with me writing about it in a column. As long as I didn’t use their real names. So, for no particular reason other than the fact that I used to call my Barbie dolls these names when I was younger, I will call
them Jill and Kelly. People of my vintage might get that TV reference. Jill’s issue, she said later, was a mixture of jealousy, self-pity and exhaustion. “I get where Kelly’s coming from now,” she said. “She’s single, because she’s no longer married, and she’s a parent. That’s not the same thing as being a ‘single parent’ the way I’ve always been and I’ve always
thought of it, but I think I was hearing a complaining tone from her where there was none intended. I was internalizing for sure.” Kelly gained a mutual understanding of Jill’s perspective as well. “Her resentment made me defensive,” she said, explaining her angry reaction and why the discussion went sideways. “I wasn’t trying to say my situation was tougher than hers. I know it’s not even close. I have lots of ‘me-time’ and I appreciate that. But the fact remains - I’m a mother and I’m single - and I’m looking for a man.” She laughed when she said that last part, but she was serious.
In her mind, referring to herself as a single mom is more about getting dates than getting sympathy, and she makes no apologies for using the term. And now that the two old friends have an understanding on their different definitions, apologies and explanations are no longer needed. “What people call themselves, for whatever reason, is a personal decision,” Jill concluded. “Look at you. You call yourself ‘married with children’ - like you’re Peg Bundy or something.” It’s true. I do. If I only had her hair. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

When he was not at the tarmac at 12:45, the company immediately dispatched two planes to search for him in the area he was supposed to be.”
When the search planes failed to locate either the pilot or his plane, the flight school called in the Coast Guard Search and Rescue, which then dispatched Buffalo aircraft and Photo from the Transportation Safety Board of the crash site near search helicop- Cache Creek that took the life of a 16-year-old pilot. ters. parted.

It was probably a bad week to have an election.”

This was Clement’s first time running for council, and she plans to stand again in next year’s election. “I’ll keep going to council meetings, see what’s going on, talk to people, and try again in 2014.” Trill – who served on council from 2005-8 – also plans to run again next year. In the meantime, he wishes the new councillor all the best. “She’ll do a good job. She put in the time and effort to get elected, so I know she’ll put in the time and effort as a councillor.”

... Past, Present & Beyond In the Line of Duty: Part 8 - “Edward Smith”
One year after Special Constable Isaac Decker was murdered in Ashcroft in June 1909, while questioning two men suspected of holding up a CPR train, his killer was still at large. Police had identified the men as brothers Dave and Bill Haney, from the Los Angeles area. Dave had been killed by Decker before Bill had gunned down the policeman and fled. A manhunt in the Calabasas Hills of California, where Haney was known to be hiding, had proved fruitless. By the summer of 1910 it was clear he had left that area. On Aug. 9, 1910 a fire started in a barn in the small town of Dillon, southwest Montana. A stranger gave the alarm; then, while residents tried to put out the fire, the man walked into the State Bank of Dillon and asked the lone employee for change. When the teller looked up the stranger had drawn a .32 Colt automatic. He told the teller to throw up his hands; but instead of complying, the man ducked and made for the back door. The would-be robber fired a shot, which sailed wide. The teller escaped, and spread the alarm. The stranger had, by this time, exited through the main door and mounting the bay horse he had ridden into town. He might have escaped, had the horse not lost its footing. The stranger was thrown and temporarily knocked out, allowing two citizens to seize and hold him. In addition to the .32 he carried a .45 Colt and a Winchester rifle, but there was nothing to indicate who he was except the name “E. Smith” marked on his undershirt. The man said his name was Edward Smith, and he was charged with arson, attempted robbery, and assault with a firearm. There the matter might have ended, had not one Dillon resident got a better look at Edward Smith. The unlucky bandit had a moustache and beard, and was wearing a brown wig, but the resident recognized someone he had known in Los Angeles. The
one of the Haney brothers; but whether it was Bill or Dave, he could not say for sure. He recognized the bay horse the prisoner had been riding, saying that it had belonged to Dave Haney. Deahn said that he himself had ridden the horse many times. He added that Bill Haney had been a contractor in Los Angeles, where he lived in a fine residence with his wife and family. Deahn also claimed that the Canadian police did not know for certain which brother had been killed by Isaac Decker. It was looking more and more likely that Sheriff Gossman had one of the Haney brothers in his jail in Dillon, Montana; but which one? Before that could be decided, however, came new information; new information which turned the entire situation inside out. To be continued
