The event attracted artists, artisans, musicians, and vendors from as far away as Prince George, and was held at the arena and adjacent grounds, where attend- ees could listen to music, enjoy the artwork on display, and attend workshops. Several artists worked on proj- ects, allowing people to watch them create. “People like seeing the process of painting,” said Vanderhoof artist Mary Lynn Lawrence, who said she was im- pressed when she walked into the arena. “There was so much space, and it was so colourful.” Richard Cannon of the Fraser Lake Arts Council said the Council was formed in 2014, and the arts festival was a focus from the start. “It’s been a year in the planning,” he says. They wanted a mix of fine artists—everything from painters to quilters, jewelers to photographers—along with music, vendors, and a kids’ area. “We’re aiming to make it a two-day event next year. That makes it more attractive for musicians to travel here.” He’s grateful to the Village of Fraser Lake for allowing the festival to use the arena and grounds at no charge, and to the sponsors who enabled the event to happen. The biggest challenge, he said, was seeing how so many different artists, working in so many mediums, would mix, but says it worked out very well. Artist Pat Gauthier, who was demonstrating the art of waterco- lour painting, agrees. “It’s a very relaxed atmosphere, and there a lot of interesting people. There’s a nice energy with the mix of different types of art.” The new bandstand by the arena was in heavy use, and Cannon said that the rain early in the day made them aware of a couple of drawbacks. “There needs to be an overhang of another six feet, as well as a covered place for speakers.” He also noted that another power station would be helpful, with so many people needing to be able to hook up to electricity. It’s all, he noted, a part of the learning process. “There are a few things we’d do differently. And hope- fully a two-day event would allow us to book more bands, rather than mostly solo or duo performers.” Fraser Lake artist Marilynn Reyden, who’s on the Arts Council, said that everyone was open to the idea of the festival. “It’s great to be able to educate people. There can be a lack of awareness about what’s in our own town, art-wise. Local people come in to my gal- lery and say ‘I had no idea!’” “I can see the festival growing from here,” says Lawrence, while Gauthier appreciates the variety of art forms the festival encompasses, and the fact that there’s something for everyone. “The mix of art ap- peals to different demographics, young to old.” Per- haps the most apt comment came from a woman who, having taken in all the colourful displays around the arena, paused by the door. “This was pretty awesome!” Barbara Roden Fraser Lake arts festival a success It can sometimes be difficult to moti- vate teenagers, especially during the lazy months of summer, when just getting them out of bed can be a challenge.

“Challenging” summer read for local teens
Get ready for a “Movie in the Park” on Wednesday, Aug. 12, when the District of Vanderhoof is sponsoring a showing of the animated fi lm Up. The movie is being shown at Ferland Park, and admission is free, with popcorn available by donation. Bring chairs or blankets and be at the park at 8:30 pm to enjoy the fi lm, which is suitable for the entire family.
Up tells the story of two children who idolize a famous explorer, and vow to travel to Paradise Falls, the site of one of the explor-er’s most famous discoveries. The children eventually marry and grow old together, but are constantly frustrated in their attempts to get to Paradise Falls. It’s many years before Carl, the husband, manages to accomplish the journey; and when he does so, it’s by a very unconven-tional method. The fi lm was nominated for fi ve Academy Awards, including Best Pic-ture—only the second animated fi lm ever to be nominated for that award.

During a one-week period which included the B.C. Day long weekend, the Vanderhoof RCMP detachment received 95 calls for service, and lodged 14 prisoners in the cells.
Construction zone collisionOn Aug. 6 police were called to a three-vehicle collision on Hwy. 16 near the Degal Pit Road construction zone. One vehicle was completely written off, with the driver taken to hospital with un-specifi ed injuries to the neck and shoulders. A second driver suf-fered whiplash, while the third driver, who was in a commercial vehicle, was unharmed.
Police are concerned about aggressive driving in both the construction zones between Vanderhoof and Prince George, and while they have focused on enforcement in both areas, they note that it is clear that more needs to be done. Drivers are reminded that traffi c fi nes can double in construction zones, so please ob-serve posted signs and obey the instructions of fl ag persons.
More ATV education neededAnother issue that Vanderhoof police are addressing is injuries and fatalities suffered by ATV users. There have not been any fatalities in the Vanderhoof area so far in 2015, but half-a-dozen people have died in the North District this year in ATV-related accidents. Most ATV collisions—fatal and non-fatal—involve alcohol and/or the lack of protective equipment. The police en-courage ATV users to ensure they have the proper equipment, use common sense, and don’t mix alcohol with ATV use. Vanderhoof RCMP have received seasonal policing funding from the provin-cial government, which will go towards special enforcement and education for ATV users. This includes members on ATVs patrol-ling ATV trails, and an increased police car presence on the roads around popular ATV areas.

A single paper recycling bin, placed behind the Co-op in Vanderhoof six years ago, has evolved into a major recycling program. It now takes in several sites around town and has meant a major reduc-tion in what goes into landfi lls, says Vince Terstappen, the Sustainability Coordinator for the Nechako Waste Reduction Initia-tive (NWRI).
“The program has kept evolving over the last six years,” he says. The paper bin has had to be moved due to a number of arson incidents a few years ago, but its place has been taken by a cardboard recycling bin, which will continue to be available to resi-dents. This is especially important in light of the recent Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako decision to ban the disposal of cardboard at all landfi lls and transfer sta-tions beginning on July 1, 2016. “A lot of cardboard still goes to the transfer station,” says Terstappen. “Residents will still be able to use the bin in town, but we’re try-ing to fi gure out what this means for busi-nesses and other affected groups, fi gure out what our role is, and support that tran-sition.”
Terstappen admits that one of the big-gest concerns he hears from residents is about the travel involved in properly dis-posing of recyclables. The bottle depot is a private business, he points out, and the profi t goes to Nechako Valley Secondary School for student-led initiatives such as new sports equipment. The cardboard bin is well placed, as it means the Co-op’s bal-er can be used on the cardboard to get it ready for transport.
“Our vision for recycling in Vanderhoof is to have a one stop shop, but where that is is something we need to fi gure out.” He also points out that NWRI works with the Nechako Valley Community Services So-ciety’s Community Living Program to pro-vide employment opportunities for clients who face barriers to employment. Two cli-ents are paid to come to the bin twice a week and empty it, then bale the cardboard. “It’s a great community partnership.”
Asked if there was a drop-off in paper recycling after the bin was moved, Ter-stappen says there might have been, but it has long since been offset by the increased
awareness of the need to recycle. “There’s been a huge increase in recycling locally,” he says. In 2013 some 5.1 tonnes of paper were recycled here each month, an amount that’s risen to 7.3 tonnes per month in 2015. “We used to empty the paper bin ev-ery two weeks; now we have to do it once a week, because it’s full,” he says. It’s the same story with plastic: the bin used to have to be emptied every three weeks, and now it too needs emptying every week.
Terstappen attributes this to an increased desire to recycle and reduce waste, and an increased awareness that recycling op-tions exist. He agrees that one of the keys to a successful recycling program is get-ting younger people on board. “Last year we did sessions with the YMCA at sum-mer camps, as well as Earth Day work-shops with specifi c classes in some of the schools. If you can get kids to think about waste, they’ll bring that message to their parents.”
The need to recycle is brought home by a 2009 study, in which one week’s garbage at the Vanderhoof transfer station was gathered, audited, and sorted. The end re-sult was the fi nding that close to 75% of the material being taken to the station each week was recyclable. One-third of that was organic material that could be composted, while close to 25% of the material was paper. It amounted to some 10kg of waste per resident per week, and Terstappen says he believes that recycling has reduced this fi gure. To drive it home, however, he’ll take a backpack weighing 10kg with him when he talks to kids about recycling, and challenge them to make it lighter.
Another initiative that has got kids in-volved is the community cleanup event in April, which is a great way to get lots of young people coming out with their fami-lies. Schools, teachers, and parent groups are also very supportive, with recycling initiatives carried out in many schools as a teacher- and parent-driven endeavour.
“We need to think about the three Rs—reduce, re-use, recycle—and add a fourth one,” says Verstappen. “Re-think. We’ve come a long way in a short time, but it’s going to keep evolving.”

Ban on cardboard disposal shouldn’t aff ect residents
Close to 200 people took ad-vantage of the chance to spend “A Night at the Museum” at the Vanderhoof Community Mu-seum last Saturday night from 8:00 - 11:00 pm. Museums are interesting places during the day, but take on a life of their own after dark, and museum curator Riley Wallace made sure there was a lot to enjoy.
The event was his way to get locals to realize there’s some-thing new at the museum. “Lots has changed there this year,” he says. “Most of the displays are new, and we want to show the museum, and all the work we’ve done, in a new light.” Visitors were able to wander through the buildings while listening to musicians on the stage set up in the centre of the grounds. There were also story-tellers, and a chance for people to dress in pioneer costumes and have their pictures taken.
Also popular was an auction of home baked pies, cakes, and
cupcakes, with the bidding on one beautifully decorated cake going into three fi gures. All the money raised by the auction will go to support the museum.
Wallace was enthusiastic about the turnout for the fi rst ever “Night at the Museum”, and hopes it will encourage res-idents to realize there are a lot of new things at a place where many people probably think nothing ever changes. “There’s a different atmosphere here at night,” he says. He also hopes that more residents will be en-couraged to come during the day. The site attracts many overseas visitors—one recent visitor from Mexico noted in the guest book that the museum was “Muy bonito!”—but Wal-lace believes the museum has a lot to offer to locals. “We’ve always been here for the resi-dents, and I guarantee there’s a lot we could show and teach people.”

Tourist season is well and truly upon us for another year. I spent many years working in the hospitality industry, so here are a few tips to help those visiting us make their stay that much more enjoyable.
Driving: First of all, welcome to British Columbia! I congratulate you on your decision to vacation here, as we really have a lot to offer. Just look at the beautiful scenery, the spectacular views, the abundant wildlife; but not if it means slowing your car or camper down to a pace that an arthritic tortoise could probably manage. You’ll notice that we have thoughtfully provided picnic areas, pull-outs, and parks in places with the most incredible views. Please do make use of them, if only to prevent you being overtaken by a succession of drivers making rude hand gestures and mouthing obscenities (seriously, local drivers, don’t do that: honking your horn loudly and repeatedly is suffi cient).
Currency: Boy oh boy, our banknotes sure are colourful, aren’t they, especially when compared with their drab and uniform American cousins. However tempting it may be, though, please do not make references to “Monopoly money” or “funny money” when handing over Canadian cash. Anyone who has worked for more than about a week in an industry that caters to tourists has already heard these comments, many times over, and the polite smile they attach to their face when hearing them yet again does not
mean “I, too, share your opinion”; it means “I am seconds away from lunging across this counter and shoving Sir John A. MacDonald where the sun doesn’t shine.”
Language: English and French are the two offi cial languages of Canada, but if you speak French then I should warn you that the chances of encountering a native who speaks the language fl uently diminish rapidly the further you get from Ontario and Quebec. If you’re fortunate you might meet someone who remembers a smattering of high school French, along with phrases picked up from cereal boxes, which isn’t terribly helpful unless you want to know if something is faible en gras, gratis, or a source très élevée de fi bres. Also, to avoid disappointment, please do not expect any Canadian to pronounce the word “about” as “aboot”. Most people who pronounce “about” in that fashion live in a country called Scotland, and if you expected to be there instead of here then you need to switch travel agents.
Food: You will quickly notice that we really, really love French fries; so much so that poutine has almost become our national dish. By all means try it during your stay; whether you try it more than once depends entirely on how healthy your heart is. Know your limit, stay within it.
With that, happy travels; and I hope your time here is incroyablement délicieuses!

It’s the time of year to think about back to school. For students it means a new classroom, new challenges, old friends, and some new ones; but for parents it means back-to-school shopping. It might be hard to believe, but this is the second biggest spending season of the year, with only Christmas ahead of it. It’s estimated that across North America some $70 billion will be spent on new clothing and supplies as students from Kindergarten to university head to the classroom.
For many families it’s a diffi cult time, especially those who have several children. Here are a few tips to help par-ents navigate the back-to-school spending season.
- Compare prices before you hit the stores. Looking at fl yers and online guides in advance can help you fi nd the best deals, and save a lot of time and footwork. Look out for coupons (check the expiration date), sales days, and cash-back rebate offers.
- Most schools give out grade-specifi c lists of what ma-terials students need. If your child didn’t get one, or you’ve misplaced it, check the school’s website to see if it’s post-ed online, or get a copy from another parent. The list will keep you from buying duplicate or unneeded items.
- If you have more than one child who needs the same things, take advantage of multi or jumbo packs to keep the costs down. It can also be worth going through your child’s leftover supplies from last year, to see what they didn’t use. There’s no point buying a new ruler if Jennie still has a perfectly good one from last year.
- Check to see if your child’s teacher buys school sup-plies in bulk and then charges parents a set fee per student. This is a great way to keep supply costs down.
- Make sure you know the store’s return policy before you buy, and keep all receipts. Also be aware that even if a store has a return policy, you might not get a 100% refund, so read the fi ne print. Many stores stipulate that returns must be made within a certain time period—often 30 days from purchase—so if something has to be returned, don’t wait too long.
- If you decide to buy online, look out for special deals on shipping, such as free shipping above a certain amount spent. Shipping costs for online purchases can often be high, so consider going in with another parent in order to meet any “free shipping” threshold.

The Vanderhoof Farmer’s Market has changed locations, after seven years at Riverside Park; and the market’s manager, Michelle Roberge, says that’s meant an in-crease in vendors and customers.
The market—now located at Ferland Park—moved from Riverside because of the high water and fl ooding earlier this year. “Everyone loves the new venue,” says Roberge. “There’s more shade and it’s less windy than at Riverside. It just feels more friendly.” Roberge adds that the new loca-tion means it’s within walking distance for people on their lunch hour, who come to the market to grab a bite of lunch and look over the two dozen or so vendors who have set up displays.
“People come from as far away as Prince George and Fort St. James to display their goods,” says Roberge. She points out that the huge range of products for sale—
fruit, vegetables, meat, preserves, baked goods—provides a lot of what most people would need for a week, enabling market-goers to do most of their shopping, get high quality products from the area, and support local vendors.,
There’s more to the Farmer’s Market than just food, however. Artisans come to display their creations, and the YMCA has a booth with free activities for kids. “That’s a real asset,” says Roberge. “It gives kids something fun to do while their parents look around.”
Roberge estimates that the number of people coming to the market—held each Thursday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm—has increased by about 30% from last year, and there are more vendors than ever before. “Some people come down and stay for hours,” she says, “to have lunch and shop.”

The Village of Fraser Lake has had a “Funsa-tional” program running all summer; but there are still plenty of activities going on in August. What-ever your interests—from horsing around to head-ing into Prince George for a day of swimming and a movie—there’s something for everyone.
All ages and levels of experience will fi nd a horseback program to suit them. “Buck-a-Roos” is designed for children aged 3-5, which each par-ticipant having his or her own instructor and horse. Parents must stay with their children, and the cost is $25. The session runs on Aug. 17 from 1:00-2:30 pm. “Greenhorns”, for those aged 6 and up, is designed to build confi dence and safety skills for less experienced riders. This session runs on Aug. 20 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, and costs $50.00.
Not so green a greenhorn? There’s a two-day session designed to take your riding skills to the next level! The two-day course (Aug. 26-27) is a great introduction to gymkhana events, trail obsta-cles, advanced leadership, and more. It’s $100 for the two-day event (1:00-3:00 pm each day), and participants must previously have taken a green-horn camp. And those who are interested in watch-ing or taking part in gymkhana should check out the Fraser Lake Saddle Club’s Gymkhana Day on Aug. 16 at the Saddle Club grounds. For more in-
formation call Lareina at (250) 699-1298.If you’d prefer a ride with two wheels, don’t
miss the Burns Lake Bike Trail Day on Aug. 28. There are cross country and downhill tracks to suit all skill levels; the $20 fee covers bus transport to and from the Fraser Lake arena, and also one cir-cuit of the downhill riding track. Riders must be 14 years or older to come on their own, and bring all the equipment they’ll need.
Not ready to hit the trails? Learn how during the Cross Country Youth Bike Camp! There will be four days of lessons (Aug. 17, 20, 24, and 27), fi nishing with a day trip to the Burns Lake Bike Trails on Aug. 28. The camp is designed for those aged nine and older who are able to ride on pave-ment, but would like to learn how to bike on grass and dirt. Participants need a bike with gears, as well as a helmet. The cost is $75 for the full camp.
If something less strenuous is more your thing, take a trip to Prince George on Aug. 19 for swim-ming at the Aquatic Centre and a trip to the theatre to see Fantastic 4. The bus leaves the Fraser Lake arena at 9:00 am and returns at 6:00 pm, and the cost is $30.
There’s also a wide range of free activities to suit all ages. On Mondays in August there’s roller-blading on the hard surface of the Fraser Lake are-
na from 6:00-7:00 pm; participants should bring a helmet and safety gear, but if you don’t have rollerblades then no worries: there are rollerblades in all sizes for those who need them. Yoga takes place each Tuesday and Thursday in August, with Thursday night sessions designed for families. Tuesday sessions are 2:00 - 3:15 pm and Thurs-day sessions are 7:00 - 8:15 pm, both at the Fraser Lake Complex. And on Aug. 26 there’ll be Toddler Time at the Fraser Lake arena: an hour of creative, fun play time from 10:00 - 11:00 am.
If you’d like to learn more about some of the people and services in Fraser Lake, check out Fire Hall Day on Aug. 18—where you can learn more about fi re safety—and Police Station Day, a chance to learn more about the RCMP in a fun, safe environment. Sessions run from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. And for creative types, there’s a series of three sessions left: Aug. 13 (create a useful piece of art from a Mason jar); Aug. 20 (make a masterpiece using yarn!); and Aug. 27 (let your artistic side go wild). These sessions are from 1:00 - 3:00 pm at the Fraser Lake Complex.
Registration for all activities is at the Village of Fraser Lake offi ce. A Care Card, and payment of any fees, is needed at the time of registration. For more information contact Recreation Director Amber Carter at (250) 699-6257; (250) 699-1065; or by e-mail at vfl [email protected]

Integumentary System- Let’s talk Hair, Skin & Nails
What is waterproof, stretchable, washable, automatically repairs small rips, cuts and burns?Your skin! Skin is the fi rst part of the Integumentary system we will be focusing on.There are three main layers of skin:The epidermis is the top layer of skin, it can be thin like your eyelids or thick like your heels. This layer is constantly creating new cells. It also gives your skin its color, as well as acts like a shield protecting your insides from the outside (such as bacteria)The Dermis is the middle layer and it does a lot of work. It is responsible for making sweat which keeps you cool (sweat also gets rid of some undesirable elements in the body). It gives you sensations as it contains all the nerve endings which gives you sensations of pain, cold, hot etc. Here is where hair growth starts, as well as what allows Goosebumps to occur. The dermis also makes oil which can seem to be a bane for those who suffer from acne, but provides waterproofi ng, smoothes out your skin, and keeps it soft and supple. The dermis also allows for blood fl ow, and takes away the gunk.The subcutaneous fat layer is your bottom layer. It helps to attach your skin to your muscles and bones, it also helps with controlling body temperature and the place to store fat (which is bad in abundance but in normal levels promotes protection from injury by providing cushions.Next week we will talk about some skin conditions and explore what could go wrong. ...to be continued next week

It was in 1914 that the B.C. Provincial Police es-tablished a detachment in Vanderhoof: a log build-ing at the corner of Second and Fraser (the building is now on the Vanderhoof Museum grounds). The completion of the Grand Trunk Railway through the area had drawn an infl ux of new settlers, and it was doubtless felt that a police presence would be a good idea. Little did the men stationed there know that they would soon be confronted with a case of murder most foul.
The report came in Sept. 1915, when a rider brought news that a settler named Jim Coward had been killed in the cabin on his pre-emption about fi ve miles from Fort St. James. His 40-year-old wife Elizabeth (Betty) and her 17-year-old daughter Rose—clad in their nightclothes, and hysterical with fear—had pounded on the door of a nearby cabin occupied by two women, and were eventually able to tell a nearly incoherent story about Jim having been killed by an intruder; an Indian from Vanderhoof with a grudge against Coward, due to a dispute over the transportation of a trunk, according to Betty.
The next morning the four women ventured back to the Coward cabin, where they found Jim Coward lying dead on a makeshift bed outside the cabin. That was when the neighbour was dis-patched to Vanderhoof, where the local constable telegraphed to Fort (now Prince) George ask-ing for help. Thus it was that, a short time later, 36-year-old District Chief W.R. (Bill) Dunwoody arrived in Vanderhoof to take charge of the case.
Dunwoody wasted no time in travelling to the isolated Coward cabin, along with the coroner, Justice of the Peace Dave Hoy, and Dr. W. D. Stone, the area’s fi rst doctor. There Dunwoody be-gan his investigation, starting with Mrs. Coward’s statement. She told the policeman that she and her husband had arrived in the area the previous year, and had then been joined by Rose, Betty’s daughter from a previous marriage. As the cabin only had two bunks, Coward had moved to a rough bed outside, leaving the two women to sleep in the cabin.
On the night of the murder, Betty said that she and Rose had retired to bed inside, while Jim set-tled down in his outdoor bed. Hardly had the lamp been turned down, however, when the women heard a shout and then a shot. They had re-lit the lamp and hurried outside, to fi nd Coward dead.
When Dunwoody examined the body, he found that Coward had been shot in the head—through one nostril—from very close range; so close that there were powder marks on his moustache and eyebrows. Dr. Stone thought that death had been instantaneous, which made Dunwoody wonder who had shouted. Surely not the dead man, whose
death had been so sudden; and if it had been the murderer, Coward would have wakened and moved. And why would the murderer shout?
A .32 calibre revolver lay by the dead man’s side, and it was at fi rst thought this was the mur-der weapon. However, when an autopsy was per-formed the bullet was removed from Coward’s head, and Dunwoody, on examining it, felt from its weight that it was from a .38 calibre weapon. He was later able to confi rm this by borrowing a set of scales and weighing the spent bullet against other .38 calibre bullets.
Dunwoody paid a visit to the neighbours who had taken Betty and Rose in on that fateful night, and learned from them that Betty had told them
she was getting ready for bed when she heard the shot. She had told Dunwoody she was in bed when the shot was fi red. Dunwoody noted the discrep-ancy, and fi led it away.
He found the Indian in Vanderhoof who suppos-edly held a grudge against Coward, and discov-ered the man had an airtight alibi for the night in
question. Having ruled him out as a suspect, Dun-woody turned again to Betty’s evidence. By this time a Coroner’s inquest had been held, at which Jim Coward was found to have been murdered “by person or persons unknown”. While giving evi-dence, however, Betty had said that when the shot was fi red she was kneeling beside her bed, saying her prayers. It was the third version of the story she had told, and Dunwoody determined to get to the bottom of it.
He travelled back to the Coward cabin with Dave Hoy, in search of the .38 calibre revolver he was sure existed. A thorough search of the cabin

Lacrosse teams from Van-derhoof had great results at the Provincials, held last month. The midget team fi nished fi rst in Level C, while the bantams placed second overall (also in Level C).
Bantam coach Mark Gauth-ier is pleased with his team’s fi nish in Kelowna, which fol-lowed a 10-game season that began with practices in April. “The team played in the Great White North zone—against teams in Williams Lake, Prince George, Quesnel, Fort St. John, and Mackenzie—and fi nished in second,” says Gauthier. The team automati-cally qualifi ed for the Provincials as the only bantam team in zone 7, and played a round rob-in tournament with two pools of four teams. After being beaten only once—by Penticton—Van-derhoof squared off against the fi rst place team in the other pool, and de-feated them to get to the gold medal match. Their oppo-nent was once again Penticton, and the boys from the Okanagan edged out Vanderhoof for fi rst place.
Four Vanderhoof players—Addison Miller-Gauthier, Josh vander Geisen, Ethan Floris, and Simon Nemethy—were named game
all stars, with Nemethy named the team MVP.
The midget team’s win came against all odds, as players from Vanderhoof joined forces with players from Mackenzie in order to have a team. The boys seldom had a chance to practice together; instead they trained separately, then trav-elled to match locations to play as a team. Coach Gauthier hopes that in the upcoming sea-son some of this year’s bantam team might be able to move up to the midget level, enabling Vanderhoof to fi eld a full team.

Local track and fi eld athletes have been having success recently at the provincial and national levels. At the provincial meet in Nanaimo from July 10-12, 14-year-old Simon Nemethy—competing in the 14- and 15-year-old age group—came 2nd in the 1500 metre steeplechase. Simon also came 2nd in the 1200 metre, 3rd in the 2000 metre, and 7th in the 800 metre events, registering new personal best times in all four. The only students who beat him were aged 15, making Simon the fastest 14-year-old competing in those events.
In the 18- and 19-year-old age group, 18-year-old Alexander Nemethy had two personal bests, in the 100 metre (12.76 seconds) and 200 metre (26.23 seconds) events, fi nishing 5th in both. Alexander
had previously competed at the Canadian Junior and Senior National Track and Field Championship in Edmonton, July 3-5. He placed 17th in the 5000 metre and 12th in the 3000 metre steeplechase, both with personal bests.
In the 16 and 17 age group in Nanaimo, 17-year-old Emma Floris placed 5th in both the 100 and 200 metre events. This past weekend Emma was in Quebec, com-peting in the Legion Youth Nationals event. She ran 12.94 seconds in the 100 metre on Friday, and 26.14 seconds in the 200 me-tre on Sunday, putting her in 26th and 23rd places respectively. Neither was a personal best time, but Emma was pleased with the way she ran.

150 West Columbia, Vanderhoof
turned up no such item; but a cartridge belt fi lled with .38 calibre bullets was discovered. Dun-woody also found, under a loose fl oorboard, a leatherbound notebook that had apparently be-longed to the dead man. The last entry was dated Sept. 2, 1915—four days before Coward’s death—and read, in Coward’s handwriting, “Threatened to shoot me if I molested the dog in any way.”
The fi nger of suspicion now pointed clearly at Betty Coward, and—to a lesser extent—her daugh-ter Rose. Just as Dunwoody had reached this con-clusion, he heard a shout from outside the cabin. Hoy had been poking around, and idly turned over a galvanized steel washtub. Underneath it was a .38 calibre revolver, fully loaded except for one chamber. Dunwoody had Hoy replace it under the tub; then the men returned to Vanderhoof.
Betty Coward approached Dunwoody the next day, and said that she and Rose were planning on returning to the States. Could she return to the cabin to collect a few personal belongings? Dun-woody said yes, then gave instructions to Con-stable Rupert Rayner to ride to the cabin without being seen, hide himself, and keep an eye on the washtub. Rayner headed out of town on a bush trail, and once at the cabin hid himself in a barn.
Two hours later a horse-drawn rig pulled up, and Betty Coward and a neighbour got out. The two women entered the cabin, and emerged a few minutes later carrying some clothing. Betty asked the neighbour to take the clothes to the wagon while she went back for one more thing. As soon as the neighbour was out of sight, Betty hurried to the washtub and turned it over, then replaced the tub and went to the wagon. When they had gone, Rayner retrieved the revolver and headed back to Vanderhoof. His story prompted Dunwoody to ar-rest Betty Coward on suspicion of murder, and her daughter Rose Dell as an accessory.
It was still early September, and the Fall As-size—a travelling court that tried major cases—was due to start in Clinton in the fi rst week of October. Dunwoody had little time to build his case against Betty Coward, so re-turned to Fort George and, a short time lat-er, was on his way to southern California to learn more about Betty Coward’s past.
He turned up an amazing story. As far as anyone knew Betty Dell, separated from her fi rst husband, had run a boarding-house in San Francisco, where she had taken a liking to Jim Coward, one of her boarders. However, when Dun-woody tracked down Mr. Dell, he told the policeman that he and Bet-ty had been living in Forest City, Iowa when she had run off with Jim Coward, the town marshal. The two had become friendly, and one day skipped town together, headed for San Francisco. Dell had been more than happy when his wife left him. “She’s a dangerous woman, and has a hell of a temper,” he told Dunwoody. “You mark my words, she’ll commit murder one day.”
Dunwoody headed to Forest City, where he found that Betty Dell had insured Jim Coward’s life for a considerable sum of money, and had kept up the payments on the policy. Armed with this infor-mation, Dunwoody returned to Canada, where his evidence at the Clinton Assize was little short of a bombshell. Betty Coward’s de-fence was shattered, and Mr. Jus-tice Denis Murphy, who was trying the case, congratulated Dunwoody.
The case against Rose Dell was dropped, but the jury returned a verdict of guilty against Betty Cow-ard, sentencing her to death; the fi rst woman to be thus sentenced in the province. She was scheduled to be executed at Kamloops on Dec. 23, 1915; but 48 hours before she was due to be hanged, her sentence was commuted to life in prison.
