CASTLEGAR NEWS, June 26, 1983 Murder case still unsolved yy JOE RALKO NY \ REGINA (cP) — at Aa Wilson still finds it difficult to talk about the death of his attractive wife JoAnn, who , was beaten and shot in the garage of the couple's home six months ago. “I was badly, emotionally affected,” the 48-year-old steel comany executive said in an interview. “She was a wonderful woman. We wanted to spend our life together. ' It was a good life.” JoAnn, former wife of controversial Saskatchewan Politician Colin Thatcher, had beon the subject of numerous news stories in the years preceding her. death. -Besides her much-publicized divorce in 1979, there was a . Jong and bitter. custody battle and another shooting. For Wilson, words about his wife's brutal end do not *. come easily. He chooses them carefully, often pausing as “he recalls the wintry Friday night last January when he | “was stimmoned from a shower and told his 48-year-old wife was dead. “I'm not blaming God for making it happen; I'm not asking Him to. help me cope with it either.” Police have made little progress despite a $60,000 reward, Even though the murder was committed at the stylish Wilson home directly across from the entrance to the provincial legislature, there have been few solid leads except for one witness who told of seeing a bearded man in his 80s. fleeing the: scene. Supt. Jim Kane, head of the criminal investigation division, said police have Benn caught up in the emotion of the case. “Nothing has come easy in this investigation,” said Kane, 55. “We'd get a lead we thought looked good, get excited and over-react, only to have it peter out.” Kane, about to retire about 34 years of police service, insists the police “aren't up against a brick wall yet” in the Wilson caso, the seventh unsolved slaying in Regina since 1983. But a special’ 18-member unit formed to investigate the murder has been reduced to four. JoAnn, a blonde,’ married Wilson after ending her 17-year marriage to Thatcher, son of former Liberal premier Ross Thatcher. * Phatcher, who resigned as Saskatchewan energy minister only four days before JoAnn was murdered, had been granted custody of the couple's two teenage sons, Gregg and Regan, after the divorce. JoAnn was given custody of Stephanie, their only daughter. SHOT THROUGH DOOR While the Thatcher's custody battle raged in 1981, JoAnn was the target of another attack, suffering an injury to her right shoulder after being shot through her kitchen door. No one was ever arrested in that incident. The day after JoAnn's death, nine-year-old Stephan- ie was abducted from the home of a friend. She was found later in Moose Jaw, 100 kilometres to the west. Thatcher, a millionaire rancher-businessman who and his lawyer, Tony Merchant, a former federal Liberal candidate, were charged with abduction -and public mischief. Neither has entered a plea in a case that goes to court again Sept. 22. In an earlier court appearance to decide which man gets custody of Stephanie, Wilson filed an affidavit charging Thatcher had “orchestrated” JoAnn's murder. Thatcher called the charge nonsense. In May the two men signed an agreement giving custody of Stephanie to her natural father. A Sept. 9 court hearing will decide if the arrangement will be permanent. Thatcher has not returned calls requesting an interview and Merchant, who feels the media has had difficulty “with the legal questions in the case,” says he would recommend that Thatcher not grant interviews. Meanwhile, Tony Wilson has immersed himself in his work. maintains homes in Moose Jaw and Palm Springs, Calif., “Having a job I enjoy keeps my mind off the pain.” OUCUNNSUUUNEGHannenAnnageeaNeNgOdNOQOnOQOGeauOUUUOUOueunUttl 7 It is.the Youth Club. members who come up arith’ & ideas for events, Burgess says, noting that “you can do all 8 the organizing you like but if hey dent t want to do it they, won't.” And she says there are ) plans ia the ‘offing fe dance; the proceeds for which were raised during a: carwash held yesterday (Saturday). Both Burgess and Wocknitz are Castlegar. residents ‘and have been attending the Human Services program at. & Selkirk College. And both say the course has given’ them some background in working with youths. But what they really have to their advantage is their interest in working with young people. Says Wocknitz: “I like teenagers. I think I would like to work with them because of my teenage years.” - Wocknitz, like most young people, grew up disap- f pointed that there was no place to go; nothing to do. That feeling eventually made her run away from. the’ small town where she grew up. “There was nothing in Creston for kids to do and I found myself not being able to stay at home," she recalls. Although the Youth Club has been established in Castlegar for some time, it was never really a “going concern” until the results of a recent unemployed survey showed there was a need for a youth Program.

Top photo ows Castlegar Fire Chief Bob Mann setting up hoses. Bottom photo, fire crews extinguish flames of house used in mock disaster. CRASH continued from front page “A few small ones,” he said, noting that he wanted to ‘talk with those involved before releasing any specific details. * A meeting with those involved in the drill is planned = for the near future, when any problems which arose will be discussed. Warner said the accident was not entirely a mock for department: heads who were given advance warning. “I helieve it’s the only way you can do it in order to create a mock accident and not cause an aceldént in itself,” he said. “We'd like to do something like this approach once a year,” Warner concluded. “It gives all emergency services a chance to work.” : To Gower, the exercise also looked good. “I think we'll learn a lot from it,” he said, refraining from commenting further until his critique is submitted at the meeting of persons involved in the disaster plan. . Castlegar and District Hospital administrator Ken Talarico noted that the disaster plan went, “very smoothly” at the hospital. “Our staff responded well . . . at the hospital,” he said. “We cared for and treated casualties as fast as they came in. We had some minor problems, but net too serious. “Being the time of day it was, our departments were fully staffed,” he said. “At the time there were several. physicians in the building, however some were called in from outside along with some nursing staff.” __ Bight doctors were involved in the treatment of the Schreyer studying Russian WINNIPEG (CP) — The Winnipeg Free Free says it appears that Gov.

The newspaper says in an Ottawa interview with Schreyer that the governor general, former New Demo- cratic Party leader in Mani- toba, has been taking Rus- sian lessons since last Octo- a firm statement on the move, The Free Press says, only saying the future would provide the answer. But the newspaper adds that “Schreyer’s two sons, Jason and Toban, have also been taking Russian lessons. In the interview, Shreyer re- ferred to the Slavic connec- tion in his family going back 200 years as one reason for his interest in Russian. Schreyer, born in Beau- sejour, Man., was named gov- ernor general Jan. 22, 1979. He first became premier of Manitoba in 1969, then was returned to power in the June, 1973, general provin- cial election. The 48-year-old governor general was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in 1958, becoming, at 22, the youngest member in the House, representing the Brokenhead constituency. ‘He was re-elected as MLA. in 1959 and 1962, then was elected to the House of Com- mons as member for the Manitoba riding of Spring- field in the 1965 federal election. In 1968, he was re-elected as an MP for the Selkirk constitutency in Man- itoba.

There were hundreds of reports of floods, collapsed roofs, power outages and WCB carrying $500 million debt VICTORIA (CP) — The provincial Workers’ Compen- sation Board cut more than $5 million last year off its unfunded liability — its cur- rent and future debt — but the board remains more than $500 million in the red.

There were several reports of trailers in camp- grounds being flipped over by winds reaching 100 kilom- etres per hour. In Yorkton, which received an estimated 100 millimetres of rain, a fireman escaped with minor injuries when he was struck by lightning while battling a fire in a church.

Kesler resigns as party leader EDMONTON (CP) — Gor- don Kesler, who served in the Alberta legislature for one year as Western Can- ada’s first elected separatist member, has resigned as leader of the Alberta West- ern Canada Concept party. Kesler announced his res- ignation Saturday morning in a closed-door meeting at the party's policy convention. He told a news conference that he has not resigned his membership of the party and plans to stay in politics. The 200 party members attending the meeting were to vote Saturday afternoon on whether to keep separ- atism in the party's platform. In recent weeks, Kesler had threatened to quit the leadership of the party voted to retain separatism. He said he decided to re- sign before the vote so that the party could decide the issue without being swayed by his stand as leader. In Manitoba, a heavy thun- derstorm passed through Winnipeg Saturday morning with a lightning show but little precipitation. ~ Power outages were waied. pried but quickly repaired. In Alberta, operations at Edmonon International Air- port and Municipal Airport returned to normal Saturday morning. Flights had been delayed Friday by electrical storms, Environment Canada said 95 millimetres of rain had fallen on Edmonton but the storm was expected to sub- side in Alberta in the after- noon. Bill Kuhnke, a forecaster with the Alberta River Fore- cast Centre, said a flood warning had been issued for the northern province, par- ticularly near the towns of Slave Lake and High Prairie. Royalty set sail HARBOUR GRACE, NFLD. (CP) — Prince Char- les and Diana, Princess of Wales, visited two of New- foundland's historic fishing communities Saturday in the closing hours of their visit to the province. The couple left the royal vyacht Britannia under cloudy skies and visited the com- munity of Carbonear where an enthusiastic crowd waving Union Jacks and Canadian flags greeted them warmly. The prince and princess chatted with the crowd lining a short street leading to a fishing wharf and quickly en- tered their limousine for the ride. to nearby Harbour Grace. At Harbour Grace another large crowd had gathered in the yard of a Catholic school to hear music and traditional Newfoundland poetry recited by Francis Colburne, 80. As at other stops they've made in Newfoundland, they were greeted by quiet crowds who seemed more curious than worshipful in the manner of the Nova Scotians and New Bruns- wickers who flocked to see them in those provinces. _ While having lunch in Har- bour Grace, the skies cleared and the temperature rose to a warm 25 degrees, But Prin- cess Diana did not appear to be uncomfortable in her double-breasted blue coat with black velvet collar, black skirt and black narrow- brimmed hat. The couple boarded the yacht later Saturday and set sail for Prince Edward Island where they will arrive Mon- day for a two-day visit. The prince and princess had by that time forgotten their pique after a brush with a television sound-man Fri- day when they had a few hundred of St. John’s leading citizens over for drinks. As a crowd of about 8,000 stood enviously at dockside, the invited guests were en- tertained by the royal couple under a red-and-white striped canopy on the after- deck of the royal yacht Brit- annia, Guests emerging from the private reception said the couple mixed with the crowd and engaged in small talk - with many. Diana became riled Friday morning during a visit to Cape Spear National Park when an overzealous sound- man for a television network placed a microphone near the leg of the Princess. Victor Chapman, the Can- adian-born press secretary on the royal tour, said the ac- tion made Diana “very upset, furious.” Chapman said later that no retaliation would be taken against the offending sound- man, but he was passing the word among television crews to keep their distance. It was not clear which network the man worked for. The run-in between Chap- man and the television crews was the second major inci- dent with the media during the royal couple’s 16-day Canadian tour. BREAKS TRADITION While in Halifax, a re- porter with The Daily News, a Halifax tabloid, wrote about a conversation she had with Diana during an in- formal reception on the Brit- Baby found in garbage TORONTO (CP) — A new- born baby boy found aban- doned in a sealed garbage bag Thursday was re; in “fine” condition in hospital Saturday. However, as hospital spokesman said it was not known when the baby, named Johnathan David King by the Children’s Aid Society, would be released. Painter Rick McPherson, 21, told police he heard the baby cry as he walked past a pile of garbage on his way to work. He tore open the bag, wrapped the baby in his shirt, flagged down a motor- ist and took the child to hos- pital.
