Chief Justice Matthew Begbie and Williams Lake B

y 1861, Judge Matthew Begbie made the little town of Williams Lake a regular stop on his spring and fall circuits through the Interior. He would come to town, rent a room (he had one that he liked at Williams Pinchbeck’s Roadhouse), set up his court in the government building, and proceed to hear various cases. On one occasion, in the spring of 1862, the Judge was residing at the trial of a man named Gilchrist, an American, who had pulled out his gun during an argument while gambling in one of the local saloons. In the resulting fracas, a man who just hap-

pened to be sitting at the bar was struck by one of Gilchrist’s bullets and killed. The jury deliberated after hearing the arguments, and they returned a verdict of manslaughter. Judge Begbie angrily stood up to his full (6 ft. 2 in.) height and thundered “Prisoner – your crime was unmitigated, diabolical murder. You deserve to be hanged! Had this jury performed its duty, I might now have the painful satisfaction of con-

demning you to death.” Them, he turned to the jury and he spoke to them, saying “And you, gentlemen, are a pack of horse thieves, and permit me to say that it would give me great pleasure to see you hanged, each an every one of you, for declaring a murderer guilty of manslaughter!” Some historians say that it was this trial and these words, which earned Judge Begbie the nickname of “the Hanging Judge.” He did hand down the occasional death sentence, but only after the jury found the prisoner guilty of murder, and only after the other possible alternative punishments were considered. Judge Begbie himself

JUDGE MATTHEW BEGBIE never took part in any executions. Another Williams Lake Begbie story took place in August of 1862. At the time, the jailer, who was also the postmaster and magistrate’s clerk, had a drinking problem. As well, the jailhouse was an insecure log building, which was constantly being broken out of by prisoners. Judge Begbie arrived to preside over the trials of a prisoner by the name of Connor, accused of assault with the intent to kill. A jury had been chosen from the men folk in the area. Unfortunately, the trial was scheduled at the same time as a horse race at the nearby racing track. The jury was so distracted that Begbie was forced to declare a temporary adjournment. During this time, the prisoner who had been left in the care of the inebriated jailer, managed to escape from the jail, jumped onto a fast horse, and was

long gone by the time Begbie and the jury returned from the horse race. The Judge was not pleased, and he immediately removed the jailer from his position. The Chief Constable, William Pinchbeck, was told to take on the man’s duties until he could find a more dependable employee. Connor was never seen again. Judge Begbie was a remarkable man. For more than 12 years, he was the only judge in the colony. He rode thousands of miles on horseback, going to every part of the province to dispense fair, honest, and impartial justice. Along the way he made up maps, plotted road routes, and planned bridges. He was blind to color, creed, and nationality and treated whites, Chinese and the First Nations all with respect. Without his influence, the Cariboo would have been a much different and more lawless place.

Everything old is new again at Antique & Boutique Angie Mindus SMART 55

or more than 30 years now, Janet Judd has made herself a living out of her favourite hobby. “I’ve bought and sold my whole life, even as a kid I’d trade cards and marbles,” says Janet. As an adult Judd traded marbles for buying and selling new and used dining room suites, bunk beds and any other furniture you can think of when she opened her store Antique & Boutique along Highway 97. “You have to work for somebody, so you may as well work for yourself,” says Janet, who still works six days a week at her 4,900 square foot store, located at 64 North Broadway. Janet opened the store in the 1980’s after moving to Williams Lake from Ontario at the same location it’s at today, first renting then buying the building in 1992. In 2002,

Janet received a Most Improved award for residing her building and paving the parking lot. Janet says she likes getting to know people through her work and, believe it or not, also really enjoys the physical aspect of working around heavy furniture like beds, couches and tables. “My friends pay to

work out. I get paid to go to work and stay in shape,” she says. Janet attributes her ability to maneuver awkward pieces of furniture through her many rooms and displays, to working out regularly at home to stay strong and drinking lots of water. “I do believe in fitness. It’s important to stay in shape.”

Janet says she’s very particular about what she buys secondhand and that is what keeps customers coming back. And Janet has no plans to retire anytime soon. “I’m still enjoying it. It’s my home away from home,” she says. “When you enjoy something, it’s not hard.”

where General George Custer made his famous last stand.

One of the best drives in the world is right here out our back door, and through the majestic Canadian Rockies Mountain range with a drive-by right past its highest point, Mt. Robson. Boasting glacial lakes and pristine wilderness out every window, the drive from Mt. Robson Park to Jasper National Park on the Yellowhead Highway comes Angie Mindus photo second to none.

Banff and Jasper Park, Canada Mountain road trips give drivers and passengers alike the chance to pass across some truly spectacular terrain, and bear witness to some of nature’s grandest creations. Banff, Mt. Robson and Jasper Park boast some of the most remarkable scenery around. Head east towards the Rockies and drive past forests, cliffs, mountains and enticing glaciers and lakes. In the summer, it’s a backpacker and mountain climber’s paradise. The drives are exquisite, full of rivers, lakes, high peaks, hot springs and the historic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, which was modeled after a Scottish Castle. The Lighthouse Route, N.S.

Pack your bags and take a trip CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 an unforgettable trip. Huge expanses of forest and scenic vistas over lakes and valleys are interrupted every hour or so by quirky roadhouses staffed by interesting characters. Scarf down a cinnamon bun at Braeburn Lodge (where the baking is so good they had to install an airstrip for hungry bush pilots), then take your dinner at Moose Creek Lodge, where you can relay your order to the kitchen from an old-fashioned phone installed high in a tree. Make sure to reserve plenty of time for Dawson City, which has been one of Canada’s most rollicking towns since the time of its great Klondike Gold Rush, more than 100 years ago. Pacific Coast Highway, California The Pacific Coast Highway is a stunning stretch of winding road that makes its way down the California

coast. It’s not the fastest way to travel, but the views of the Pacific Ocean are truly superb, and make the journey worth your time. You’ll pass by ocean side cliffs, giant waves, beautiful rock formations and lovely bays. Driving can be hazardous at times, because there are some sheer drops along the way, and you might be distracted from the road by the amazing views. The Kootenays A stunning string of peaks that stretch down B.C.’s beautiful interior, the Kootenay Rockies are among Canada’s most under appreciated warm-weather wonders. While these mountains remain snow-capped even in summer, there are a number of attractions along the way to keep any spring or summer road-tripper busy. Start in Golden, then continue south on Provincial Highway 95, which traces the Kootenay River along a picturesque valley, stopping en route for a relaxing soak at the

famous Radium Hot Springs. At the south end of the trip, make sure to spend some time in Kimberley and Fernie, both charming mountain towns that offer chairlift rides, ridge line hikes, great pubs, chocolate shops and, in the case of Kimberley, whitewater rafting and a gold mine tour. Alaska’s Seward Highway If you literally want a “cool” road trip, the roads in Alaska should satisfy that craving. Glaciers, jagged mountains, wild nature and marine life are the roadside attractions you’ll find along Alaska’s Seward Highway. Once you get out of Anchorage (where the

highway begins), you’ll be able to leave civilization behind. You’ll see incredible scenery and tons of wildlife before you reach Resurrection Bay, where the road ends 127 miles later. The Badlands and Black Hills, South Dakota The Black Hills in South Dakota offer a grand view of the American West. If you’re a fan of rugged country, you’ll be very pleased by the sights you’ll find here. You can visit the Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial (another large sculpture, still in progress) and plenty of scenic byways. The landscape,

across Canada, make sure to spend some time in Nova Scotia. Tracing the southern shores of Nova Scotia, the Lighthouse Route runs from Halifax to Yarmouth, passing more than 20 lighthouses along the way— forming the greatest collection of this iconic symbol of Canada’s East Coast. As you follow Provincial Highway 103, make sure to stop in Peggy’s Cove, an almost-mystical spot built into giant rocks, its famous red-andwhite lighthouse standing proudly in the face of the cold, blue North Atlantic Ocean. Take time in Lunenburg, where history stands around every corner and towering tall ships sit in the harbour. Finally, enjoy Yarmouth, a town that’s home to the Cape Forchu Lighthouse, constructed back in 1839 and now surrounded by 19 acres of rugged parkland.

treatment of people of any age, was to prevent it. Perhaps a special national day that encouraged building relationships between younger and older people was the key.” June 1st was chosen because of its close proximity to UN World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, June 15th. It was billed as a reminder that there is a solution for mistreat-

ment of all ages. Intergenerational Day Canada June 1st provides an easy opportunity to raise awareness in classrooms and in daily life of the many benefits that simple and respectful connections between generations bring to education, health and community safety. Stereotypes of both young and older people are broken down when they learn about each other. Isolation is diminished and empathy grows in both directions. Intergenerational Day Canada makes a powerful statement about the value of generational connecting within each and everyone’s neighbourhood.

Golf: A Sweet Escape for Chris Hicks Angie Mindus SMART 55 With a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye, Chris Hicks can be found just about every day of the week on the local golf course from the time it opens in the spring until it closes in the fall. “The season is too short for a person like me,” jokes Hicks, a longtime member of the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club. “Golfing is my passion.” Hicks, the second oldest in a family of 13 children raised in Chemainus on Vancouver Island, said it was his accountant father who introduced him to the sport as a child. “My love for the game was there from the age of 13. That’s when it really stuck,” says Hicks, whose father first tried to get him interested in the game at the age of eight without any luck. “It’s a love affair that’s never stopped since.”

Hicks moved to Williams Lake in 1968 as a newlywed with his wife Dorothy and worked his entire career as a French teacher at WLSS. The couple raised three children here, and even with the demands of work and raising a family of three children, Hicks says he’d golf every chance he got. “It was my dad’s great escape, and it’s mine too. If I ever had a bad day at work, I could go golfing and I’d forget all my troubles and just feel better.” Hicks says golf is a very challenging game and a good form of physical exercise for people of any age. To help keep himself in tip top shape for the game, Hicks also works out at Concrete Fitness faithfully all year round. Hicks says golf has also brought Hicks closer to his brother Tim, who is an avid golfer as well. “It’s been great bonding for us as

Hicks says he’s currently “going through a bit of a slump” with an 8 handicap, but he hopes to improve his game to add to his current record of 21 Club Championships held at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club, with one win every decade in five consecutive decades. “I’m pretty proud of that record.” And when he’s not golfing or working out to keep in shape for golfing, Hicks volunteers his time to help the Junior Golf program on Mondays at the local club along with Jordan Siegmueller and Morgan Day. “I enjoy working with the children, teaching them the game.”

Avid golfer Chris Hicks and his brother Tim share a love for the game which makes their Angie Mindus photo family ties even stronger.

Communicating with Dad:

Challenges and suggestions for Dementia Alzheimer Society of British Columbia For many people, Father’s Day means a new sweater for Dad, a game of catch in the backyard, and maybe a barbeque with family. But as adult children of parents living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia know, the gifts and celebrations typically associated with the day take on new meaning. Many caregivers learn that simply spending time and communicating with a parent or family member are what matter most. In fact, meaningful interaction is important to maintaining the quality of life of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. However, as dementia progresses, the ability to communicate becomes more difficult. By taking their limitations into consideration, it is possible to support people living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia in their interactions with you. Members of Alzheimer Society of B.C. support groups who are living with early-stage dementia gave us insight into some of the challenges they experience when

communicating, and offered tips for how caregivers can support a family member who may at times have difficulties with communication. Here are some of the communication challenges people living with dementia shared with us: “Sometimes I don’t think before I talk.” “My husband is getting frustrated because he has to tell me things too often.” “I have difficultly following conversations in a group, so I simply stay quiet.” “I used to be a leader, but now I can’t keep up.” “I’m struggling with words. I can see them in my mind and I know the word I want, but they’re gone and I can’t call them up. I’m reluctant to put myself in that position where I’m called on to say something and all of the sudden, I can’t get the words out. I guess I’m struggling with my own acceptance of my diagnosis.” When communicating with a person living with dementia, here is what support group members identified as most helpful to them: “Have patience.” “Don’t get upset.” “Remind me kind-

ly.” “Don’t nag.” “Take over if I lose my train of thought.” “They can be more clear about what they are talking about. It is not helpful when they talk too fast.” “Don’t correct me gently guide me.” “Not to be interrupted or have sentences finished... listeners must have patience... let me have my say.” Here are a few of the things support group members told us were not helpful to them: “To not be acknowledged.” “When people get annoyed with me, or don’t give me the time I need.” “Don’t jump in too fast because I resent it. At the same time, give me the darn word if it takes me too long to remember.” “Don’t remind me that I’ve forgotten something - it doesn’t help.” To learn more about how you can communicate with a person living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, visit the Alzheimer Society of B.C. website, www. alzheimerbc.org, or contact us through our toll-free Dementia Helpline at 1-800-9366033.

What do I do now that I have had my hearing tested? Lindsay Satchell After you have your hearing tested, the next step is to have any medical issues that may need addressing from the test results looked after by your family physician. Sometimes knowing you have a hearing loss and having your loss explained to you so you can understand just why you have difficulty hearing in various situations is one of the largest pieces of the puzzle. If you and your

loved ones know how to help you hear better with proper positioning in groups etc. a hearing impaired persons’ quality of life can be greatly improved. Such things include people looking directly at the hearing impaired person when speaking, speaking slower, and sitting closer to the speaker at meetings are all simple and cost free measures. Many other helpful tips can be discussed with your hearing health care pro-

vider. If your loss requires hearing aids, the style that would work best for you depend on such things as the type and degree of the loss, d e x t e r i t y, and your life style. Styles range from g e n e r a l l y LINDSAY higher powered BTE’s (behind the ear) with custom molds, custom aids varying in size from small (complete in the ear) to the larger (in the ear) style to receiver in canal style. A full discussion with your health care provider will help decide what would work best for you. Other options could include ALD’s (assistive listening devices) such as amplified or speaker phone. Always remember that there is an adjustment period with anything new in our lives and hearing aids are no exception. Many of us lost our hearing over 25, 35 or even 60 plus years. Most users require

a few minor adjustments after the initial fitting of the hearing aids and yearly followups are recommended. A proper fitting procedure with new hearing aids should take approximately one to one-and-a-half hours with probe tube measure, counseling on aid options, proper insertion and removal of aids from ears, general cleaning, and maintenance and battery usage being some of the topics of discussion. Hearing aids can restore a person’s desire to be included in life and renew their zest for living and that’s a truly amazing feet!

Hope June shows a big improvement so we can enjoy some gardening and other outdoor activities. On Thursday, May 23rd Sandra Giske arranged to

It covered the five primary areas of the Boards responsibility; Planning and Evaluation, Financial Stewardship, Human Resources Stewardship Risk management and Stakeholders Relations and accountabil-

Spirituality for Seniors Cameron Johnston Pastor and Lifestyle Consultant Beliefs are powerful. They can bring us joy and peace or fear and despair. Hopefully after five plus decades we have matured and developed beneficial beliefs regarding life, death and eternity. However, I know that many seniors have been putting off this aspect of life. Spirituality is seeking and finding meaning in life. Our spiritual side need not be feared but explored with positive excitement. As a Christian pastor for four decades, it is clear to me how vital the spiritual is for seniors moving swiftly to the last stages of life. Just for the record, a religious person is not necessarily a spiritual person and a truly spiritual person is not necessarily religious. Spirituality is living life with purpose and passion. It is set-

ting goals consistent with your beliefs and values. The fruits of our spirituality become very clear as we age and begin exploring the next stages of life. Today many deeply spiritual people are not connected to a faith community. The important thing for seniors is that they recognize the sacred in life and investigate and enjoy this aspect of being, especially in preparing for retirement and beyond. I believe in a Biblical worldview that teaches trust in a Creator God who gave us life in an original unspoiled environment. An enemy deceived us into distrusting our creator and we became selfish and in conflict with ourselves and everyone else, especially God. The result is the strife, decay and death that dominate our world. It is clear that even the best of human nature needs improvement and transforma-

tion. The way out is the eternal good news that Christians believe came to our world through the life and death of Jesus Christ. You owe yourself at least a look or a revisit to this belief to see how it can benefit you. Here are a couple of questions for you to ponder as you enjoy summer in the Cariboo. Where has your beliefs taken you? Are they adequate for the rest of your life? Will they take you beyond death? Need to talk to someone about this? Seek out a pastor or read or listen to some of the great stories about Jesus as recorded in scripture. Spirituality ultimately is simply responding to the creator God who is always as work around us and who unless we resist will draw us to himself. It is never too late to let it happen. God is seeking an authentic eternal friendship with you. Yes, even you!
