NDP takes the Kootenays Wayne Stetski, Dick Cannings elected; lead changes several times in Kootenay-Columbia

BARRY COULTER, ARNE PETRYSHEN and TREVOR CRAWLEY Cranbrook Daily Townsman In the end, vote-splitting on the left was a moot point. High drama kept voters in KootenayColumbia awake into the small hours as Conservative David Wilks and New Democrat Wayne Stetski traded the lead down to the last handful of votes, in what was one of the tightest contests in the country. On an historic election night Monday, the riding saw massive voter turnout — more than 73 per cent. With all polls reporting, according to Elections Canada online updates, Kootenay-Columbia will have a new member of parliament. According to preliminary results, Stetski finished on top by only 285 votes — 23,529 to Wilks’ 23,244. Liberal candidate Don Johnston got 12,315, Green Party candidate Bill Green 4,115. As far as the turnout, 63,232 out of 85,653 eligible voters cast ballots —73.8 per cent. In Wilks’ campaign office in Cranbrook the mood was somber after a remarkably tense evening. “I was cautiously optimistic going into this and knew that it was probably going to come down to the last couple polls and it did,” Wilks said. “Congratulations to Mr. Stetski and I look forward to him working well with the constituency of the new riding of Kootenay-Columbia. “It’s been an honour for me to be in Ottawa for the last four and a half years.” Wilks said he thought the NDP ran a good campaign and that was what

New Democrat Wayne Stetski (left) and Conservative David Wilks (right) watch results come in on Monday night. It was a nailbiter, but Stetski will represent Kootenay-Columbia in the next parliament. Cranbrook Daily Townsman photos made it such a close race. He noted that Leadnow — an independent advocacy organization aimed at defeating the Conservatives — targeted this riding heavily. “That probably played a significant role,” he noted. Wilks said he had no regrets through the campaign. “I worked a very hard campaign, I think all four of us worked a really hard campaign,” he said. “It is what it is, and you move on.” Wilks said some comments Stetski made during the campaign were incorrect, but didn’t have an impact. “I needed to make sure the people knew what the proper story was and I did that, and I don’t think that that was something that hurt me at all,” he said. Wilks added the turnout was pretty impressive. Stetski apparently benefitted from the anti-Stephen Harper sentiment that led to a Liberal majority government in Canada and a new prime minister. It was absolutely neck and neck as the polls reported and the vote counts

High drama indeed, on an historic night that saw the advent of Justin Trudeau, Canada’s 29th prime minister while Stephen Harper announced his resignation the same night. Down at the NDP camp in Cranbrook, the winning candidate was relatively subdued. “We are, I guess I’ll use the word successful by two handfuls of votes,” Stetski said. “It’s too close to call so nobody

should be declaring victory at this point. There may well be a judicial recount.” A judicial recount looks unlikely. The tabulation of votes is presided over by a judge of a superior court and must take place if the leading candidates in an electoral district receive the same number of votes after the validation of the results, or if they are separated by fewer than one one-thousandth of the total votes cast. In this case, that difference would have to be 63 votes. “What an interesting evening it’s been,” Stetski said. “I brought two speeches tonight, and I’m not going to give either one of them. It really is too close to call and neither Mr. Wilks or I should be giving a victory speech at this point.” “I was the regional manager of the Ministry of Environment for the Kootenays, with offices in Cranbrook, Nelson, Revelstoke and Invermere, and so for me, running in this election has been like going home. It’s been absolutely been a wonderful adventure.”

STEVE KIDD Penticton Western News You could hear the emotion in NDP candidate Richard Cannings’ voice as he gracefully thanked supporters in his winning bid to become South Okanagan-West Kootenay’s first member of parliament. “I pledge to not only take your concerns to Ottawa, but also to seek out your ideas on how we can this a better place to live,” Cannings told supporters in Penticton. “Together we can build a better country and a Canada we can be proud of once again.” He will represent the riding in a Liberal party majority government led by Justin Trudeau after a red wave swept the eastern Canada. The race for South OkanaganWest Kootenay riding’s seat in parliament became increasingly tight as the long campaign drew on, with polls showing support for the NDP softening as Conservative Marshall Neufeld, Liberal Connie Denesiuk and the Green Party’s Samantha Troy all gained ground. Cannings won with 24,823 of the 66,727 votes cast. Conservative Marshall Neufeld finished second with 19,894 votes, followed by Liberal Connie Denesiuk with 18,727, Samantha Troy from the Green Party with 2,851 and independent Brian Gray with 432. For Cannings, a biologist and ecologist, this was a first attempt at federal politics, though he had tried for a provincial seat in 2012. He thanked outgoing MP Alex Atamanenko, saying that he was both a mentor and a role model. While campaigning, Cannings said he often heard from Ata-

Those are big shoes to fill,” said Cannings. “Like Alex, I will work hard for you and all the people of [this riding].” After such a long race, tension was high as supporters gathered to watch results trickle in Monday evening from polling stations across the large new riding, which stretches from Penticton south to Osoyoos and east to Castlegar. Both the Liberal and Conservative candidates were gracious in defeat. Denesiuk, who shifted from Conservative to Liberal after deciding the former party no longer reflected her values said she is hopeful with the Liberals winning a majority government. “We’re thrilled to see that Canada’s back on the right track,” said Denesiuk. “He’s the only leader that offered real change, now. The Conservatives said the status quo is good enough and the NDP said they’ll balance the books and then maybe fulfill their promises later. People want change and they want it now. And that’s what Justin Trudeau offered.”

Denesiuk added people in Canada wanted change and they’re going to get it: “It’s a new hope for Canada.” For Neufeld, winning this election would have been fulfillment of a long-term goal. He volunteered for the Stockwell Day campaign in 2000 while still in high school, going on to work with Day in Ottawa as an aide. “Tonight obviously didn’t turn as we all expected, hoped and worked towards but I thank you for all the work you did,” said Neufeld. “My family, my friends and everyone — you’ve all become my friends. It means so much to me all the support I’ve received across the riding and right here with all of you.” Neufeld and his volunteers watched Trudeau’s victory speech on TV, shortly after news that Stephen Harper had been re-elected in his riding but was resigning as party leader. Neufeld had few words for the media but did say he called Cannings to congratulate him. “It’s clear the people have made their choice in this riding and I look forward and fully expect he will be a good representative of this riding,” said Neufeld

Election 2015

Liberals celebrate despite local loss Don Johnston didn’t win, but his party will form government

Will Johnson Nelson Star Kootenay-Columbia Liberal candidate Don Johnston spent Monday evening in the basement of the Hume Hotel in Nelson, surrounded by a smattering of supporters, watching television while results rolled in from across the country. The moment Justin Trudeau was announced as the next prime minister of Canada, the Nelson native pumped his fists in the air and cheered: “Line up, pot’s legal!” “I’m feeling absolutely blown away and happy,” a tearful Johnston told the Star. “I got my Canada back. When I did my nomination speech in this very hotel the title was ‘I want my Canada back’ and I’m so happy to have my Canada back. The possibilities are limitless and for the last nine years we’ve done nothing but limit them. It’s so nice to be free of that weight.” He said he’s excited Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been defeated. “Justin [Trudeau] ran an amazing campaign, he’s put together an amazing team, and he’s definitely ready. That question is dead and gone. To see this is so good for Canada and so exciting. We’ve all heard there’s no way a Liberal can win in this riding, but our first hope and goal tonight was to have a Liberal government, and

Kootenay-Columbia Liberal candidate Don Johnston celebrated news of Justin Trudeau’s election as prime minister with local supporter Cheryl Elliot. Will Johnson photo now we know we’re going to have that.” Local support Cheryl Elliott was effusive as well. “We were all holding our breath, and as soon as the results started coming in from the Maritimes we realized the best possible scenario was starting to happen,” she said. “I think Justin will be an amazing prime minister. He has a lot to learn but he will surround himself with very smart people, and if he doesn’t know something he’ll ask for advice. He’s got a coalition of really bright people guiding him.” Johnston’s communications director, Brian May, was surprised by the results. “People are obviously starting to hear our positive message. Justin stayed on message the whole way through the campaign, he never went negative, and we ran things the same way here.” Addressing Johnston’s pot

proclamation, May said: “Our policy is legalization, the NDP’s is decriminalization. There’s a big difference. Legalization means putting controls on it, putting controls on the kids and controls on the gangs and taking control of the situation.” He said NDP leader Thomas Mulcair’s dismissive comment about Trudeau’s marijuanasmoking past during a debate was “immature” and showed how out of touch the NDP leader is with young voters. He also criticized the local NDP campaign, which he called “a campaign of fear.” May said there were plenty of disenfranchised Conservative voters elsewhere in the riding who would never vote for Green or NDP — a fact he feels some overlooked. Liberal riding association vice president Reggie Goldsbury, who celebrated with his wife Xyiah, told the Star transparency was the most important

issue for him in this election. “As a young person — I’m 25 — I want to know what my government is responsible for. There’s been this shroud of secrecy and we’ve had no say, the people of Canada, and that’s why I’m happy to be supporting the Liberal Party.” Former Nelson Mayor Dave Elliott was also there to support Johnston, and said the Liberals are gathering political strength in the Kootenays. “I have a sense we’ve come a long way and Nelson will start to open their eyes to the Liberals...I think the main thrust of this election was ‘anyone but Harper’.” And though he wasn’t successful this election, Johnston was still elated to spend the night in Spiritbar. “We chose the Hume because I’m a local boy. I grew up here, more downstairs than upstairs, and to me the Martins are the epitome of the small town entrepreneur and concerned corporate citizen. They’re a lot more than business people — they’re Nelsonites through and through. There’s no better place.” May said he believes the election’s results show a “generational shift.” “This means a lot of 24-yearolds, 35-year-olds, they got out and made a vote. They got committed, and if they got committed this time it means they’re going to be committed next time. Trudeau shows that generational change. Here’s a 43-year-old winning the election with a great team behind him.” Johnston feels proud. “We’re proud of the campaign we ran and we’re proud of the way we did it.”

Greens blame showing on strategic voting

Continued from page 1

Stetski thanked the other candidates as well. “Mr. Johnston ran for the Liberals. I think the figures were up to 19 or 20 per cent. He ran a very good campaign, a good candidate. “Bill Green, excellent human being, great candidate and Mr. Wilks actually did very well as well. We had 12 debates in 12 communities. He didn’t come to all of them, but he came to most. “Collectively, after many debates, I had people come up to me and say what a great group

of candidates we had running in Kootenay-Columbia.” Stetski said politics is gone as of Monday night. “My job is to represent each constituent of Kootenay-Columbia equally and that is what I will do, I will be your strong voice in Ottawa, I will provide you with excellent public service and I will work really hard with the NDP caucus and Justin Trudeau and the Liberals to build a better Canada.” “Thank you again, let’s hope the lead holds, and I might have

to give you a different speech in a little while. “Assuming we are in Ottawa after this, we are all in Ottawa together. If everything holds, then I am looking forward to seeing Justin in Ottawa and absolutely congratulate him on a great campaign.” Green Party candidate Bill Green was disappointed with his showing and blamed it on strategic voting. “Absolutely, strategic voting beat us up very, very badly,” he said. “So many people say the

Green Party is the party they’d like to vote for, and they’ll vote for us next time. Unfortunately that doesn’t work. We have to build, and we can’t build if we’re fighting that all the time.” Even so, the Green Party ran a tight, focussed campaign, finishing with just over 4,000 votes, compared to 3,395 in 2011. “I thought the whole election campaign in Kootenay-Columbia went very well, for our team and for myself,” Green said. “I’m incredibly proud of the work our campaign team did.”

Homelessness forum looks at safe housing for women BILL METCALFE Nelson Star If finding rental housing in Nelson is difficult at the best of times, imagine what it would be like to be a woman fleeing from your family home with your kids because your partner threatened to kill you and burn the house down. Housing for women fleeing family violence was the topic of a public forum held last week as part of Homelessness Action Week. It was attended by about two dozen people and was headed by a panel of women who work for women in Nelson (see photo). It was chaired by Mayor Deb Kozak and opened with a showing of Surviving, Not Thriving by local film maker Amy Bohigian. Here are some comments from the discussion about the housing problems faced by women escaping violence and looking for housing: • “They say, ‘Why didn’t you just leave?’ Well, I wanted to be alive. If I had not done certain things I did, I would not be alive today.” • “Whenever I try to make a case for more programs for abusers, what comes back is, ‘That will put the women’s services at risk.’ And I say, ‘Why?’ We can keep supporting women till the cows come home, and we will. But it does nothing to change the dynamic.” • “I knew I had to just pack and go before he gets out of jail.”

affordable housing since the buildings [those run by Nelson CARES] opened. We need clear language about what affordable housing is. We need a federal, provincial and municipal partnership. You can not rely on the private sector.” • “They have to move to Pass Creek, the Junction, Salmo. It’s few and far between that women are finding rentals in Nelson proper. You are out on the street, or you return to the home, or to the homeless shelter.” “There’s a program called Be More than a Bystander. They have purposely partnered with the BC Lions because football is a macho sport, so we have these football players talking about respectful relationships, and this is powerful.”

• “I said he told me, ‘I am going to kill you and burn this house down,’ and they said, ‘Oh he was just mad, he’ll calm down.’ This is blaming the victim.” “Some personality types, they know they have done wrong but they just don’t care. When these charismatic, psychopathic abusers walk out of the police station and say, ‘look what she did to me,’ people say, ‘Oh poor baby.’ My ex-landlord came to me and said, ‘Why are you doing this to him? You know he didn’t mean the things he said.”’

• “People say ‘Just go to the transition house and it will be sorted out by the end of the month.’ But the court dates and harassment can go on for years.”

• “Some people can afford $1,200 a month for an apartment. They pick their parking ticket off the front of their car and laugh. That is the cost of my food.”

• “Budget yourself to live on $550 a month, and do it. That’s the best self- education you can do.”

• “Abuse starts when people move in together, or when they have a child, not on the first date.”

• “We need public investment in affordable housing that is real, and we need a good way to measure what affordability is. Nelson has had no vacancy in [subsidized]

• “I am thrilled now that we have men calling themselves feminists, and are supportive.”

• “There is a crisis coming in co-op housing in Canada. People have to wake up and exercise their political will and get involved.”

• “We could maybe start with education for landlords: for example that dogs are not a bad thing in a rented home. I have a guard dog (to protect me from the violent ex-partner). I have to put myself in a landlord’s shoes. He has to deal with someone like me that had two break-ins but cannot prove it was him (the violent ex) who did it. The landlord just sees that as someone destroying his property.”

I had nothing but fun and was surrounded by love the entire time,” the 20-yearold wrote. On Saturday, the Slocan Valley native succumbed to her illness. Malakoff was diagnosed as a teenager with a rare form of cancer normally found in young children. Since then she has become a tireless advocate for cancer research. “For those of you wondering what you can do for Brooke and her family, Brooke has been the biggest advocate for many foundations and organizations,” her moth-

Young cancer fighter Brooke Malakoff succumbed to her illness on Saturday, leaving behind a grieving community grateful to have known her. Courtesy BC Children’s Hospital Foundation er Rochelle Simmons posted on Facebook. “During her battle with cancer, Brooke took every opportunity to raise awareness for these amazing places. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the organizations near and dear to Brooke.” Those include the Ronald McDonald

House’s Gift a Night initiative, which makes sure families with sick children have a place to stay, Canuck Place Hospice and the BC Children’s Hospital. On her Facebook support group, which now has nearly 900 members, community members expressed their grief at

Malakoff ’s passing. “Heaven was blessed with a very special angel today. Brooke’s smiling face shines on forever. We love you Brooke,” posted Debbie Simmons. Judy Hildebrand called Malakoff “an angel that was called home. “We are so saddened to hear the passing of

Brooke. This news left an enormous hole in our hearts. She was such a beautiful strong and brave girl.” Austyn Mary Potyok agreed. “In my mind, Brooke lost no battle. She won by leaps. She beat cancer by living as if she never had it, and by inspiring others to do the same … Until we meet again Brooke, on another chilly day over warm tea, you will continue to inspire me.” According to her tribute page on the BC Children’s Hospital website, “Brooke lived her life to the fullest and never complained about the hard times. She truly believed in enjoying every part of life.” Malakoff ’s passing came shortly after a pink pumpkin fundraiser organized by Linden Lane Farms in the Kootenays, which raised $1,300 for the oncology department of the BC Children’s Hospital.

In Brief Police respond to four overdoses Nelson police responded to four unrelated drug overdoses on Saturday night.

Sgt. Dino Falcone said they suspect the drugs involved were mushrooms, MDMA, and two cases of GHB. All have since been released from hospital. Falcone said that it was an

unusually high number of overdoses in a short period. “For one weekend, it is,” he said. In July, police and physicians urged people to think twice about using illicit drugs

following at least four critical drug overdoses in Nelson in the preceding three months. Those involved a variety of drugs including fentanyl, cocaine, morphine, and opiates.

Editorial

Do we, or don’t we, have enough water? Re: “Water: Does Nelson have enough?” July 29 and “Nelson water shortage persists,” Oct. 9 Apparently we don’t have enough water to satisfy the needs of our current population in Nelson. Throughout the summer and into the Fall, we’ve been encouraged and then mandated to conserve water in order that safe water levels be maintained. Acts of nature cannot easily be controlled and the current drought conditions we are experiencing is a case in point. So why is there suddenly enough water to not only approve new development by Nelson city staff and council, but to increase the amount of households to be built in these developments? The development near Red Sands Beach has somehow increased in allowable building units to a staggering 265 units (up from the original zoning of approximately 100 units). This will increase the population by over five per cent from our current population of 10,000 people, presuming only two people live in each new unit. There are other new developments in town, as well, which will further increase demand on our water resources. Rumour has it that the Kutenai Landing development near Walmart is making a comeback. If city council approves this development, as well as an increase in density they will likely request, it will put additional strains on our water supply and will increase demands on other infrastructure (sewer, hydro, fire, police). Realistically, will these new developments add so much net tax revenue to our city that these projects will pay for the infrastructure upgrades, engineering, and development of new water sources, and still increase tax revenues to the city? As inhabitants of Nelson, we have to conserve water on a domestic level and we have been told that we’re doing a great job, but need to do more

to meet these goals of maintaining safe water levels. I personally agree that we should be mindful of our water use and we should always conserve this precious resource. Let’s start making development decisions that take all things into consideration and not just give into the mindset that growth is great and necessary, no matter what the environmental and social costs may be. So, the question remains; do we, or don’t we, have enough water in Nelson? If we do, then we should lift all water restrictions. If we don’t, then let’s put a moratorium on all new development until adequate new sources of water are secured. H. Ross Nelson

Significant events in climate conversation Has the climate conversation changed? Are we seeing a watershed moment? There have been significant events over the last few weeks. The Pope’s message is echoing around the planet calling upon us to, “treats God’s gifts as gracefully and gratefully as we can.” The American and Chinese presidents met to discuss mutual commitments to decrease emissions. Shell announced that it would give up it Arctic drilling plans, finding it economically unfeasible, while understanding their image was suffering. Six of the largest US financial institutions, pledged to cooperate in efforts to accelerate the investment in renewables. The world-wide divestment movement from fossil fuels has exceeded $2.6 trillion. One year ago it was $52 billion. That’s 50 times more than just one year ago. Astounding as these are, our work is not yet done. To create a watershed movement, all the individual tributaries must flow into the same river, the river of ecological sustainability.

hat a finish. Election night in Kootenay-Columbia was incredibly exciting but also incredibly long, with the outcome not assured until the last two voting stations reported their results shortly before midnight — nearly five hours after polls closed in BC. Conservative David Wilks and New Democrat Wayne Stetski exchanged the lead early on, but then Wilks held it for a long time and seemed headed for victory. In fact, CBC and the Canadian Press declared him elected. One hapless broadcaster claimed Wilks had it in the bag, and when chided by a fellow announcer that the race may be too close to call, he admitted things could change — but then insisted that nah, they wouldn’t. The lead see-sawed three or four more times after that point. I’m glad we waited until the very end before declaring Stetski the victor. When New Democrat Alex Atamanenko first ran for office in BC Southern Interior in 2004 against Jim Gouk, he led for most of the evening before Gouk snatched victory at the very end. But this nailbiter easily topped that one. If there is any question whether your vote counts, even in our imperfect first-past-the-post system, here’s proof. But we’ll see if the Liberals make good on their promise of electoral reform. Will Justin Trudeau display the same eagerness to get rid of the old system now that it has given him a majority government?

New Democrat Wayne Stetski won a nailbiter on Monday night that came down to the last two polls. Trevor Crawley/Cranbrook Daily Townsman

urnout in Kootenay-Columbia was 73.8 per cent and in South Okanagan-West Kootenay, 73.6 per cent. That’s compared to 66 per cent in BC Southern Interior in 2011. It’s also the highest in our area dating back to at least 1997 (I couldn’t find turnout figures older than that). We’ll have to wait a while, however, for poll-by-poll breakdowns to see who won the Community Voter Challenge, in which municipalities and regional district electoral areas competed to see who could plump the federal vote the most over 2011. We’ll also learn how each community voted.

hen the new riding boundaries were adopted, splitting the former BC Southern Interior riding between Kootenay-Columbia and the new South Okanagan-West Kootenay, some people called it gerrymandering to ensure Conservative victories in both ridings. While I never believed that, I did agree the redrawn boundaries made it nearly impossible for the New Democrats to win, since Cranbrook and Penticton, the hubs of the respective ridings, were Conservative strongholds. Shows what I know. The NDP’s Dick Cannings easily won South OkanaganWest Kootenay, and for most of the night Conservative challenger Marshall Neufeld was actually third behind the Liberals’ Connie Denesiuk

before coming from behind to shore up second place.

lthough Justin Trudeau’s ties to our area are the result of tragedy, it certainly can’t hurt to have a prime minister who can find us without consulting a map. Trudeau’s brother Michel died in an avalanche in 1998 that swept him into Kokanee Lake. Justin has been here several times since, most recently in July 2013. Three other former prime ministers also have close connections to West Kootenay: Justin’s father Pierre, for the same unfortunate reason; John Turner, who lived in Rossland for a while — his mother was born there; and Sir Charles Tupper, briefly prime minister in 1896, who owned mining claims in the Slocan. In the fall of 1897, Tupper visited with another short-lived former prime minister, Mackenzie Bowell, and London capitalist Charles Askworth. “The trio are undoubtedly the most distinguished visitors Slocan City has ever had,” a local newspaper wrote.

efore the election, West Kootenay was represented by an opposition New Democrat member of parliament. After the election, West Kootenay will be represented by … two opposition New Democrat members of parliament. But it’s a sea change in East Kootenay, which has not had an NDP MP since Sid Parker from 1988 to 1993.

Queen Elizabeth Park poplars coming down

Submitted to the Nelson Star For decades, it seemed the sky was the limit for Queen Elizabeth Park’s towering poplar trees. In fact, the end is very near. With some of the giant poplars teetering at nearly 80 feet (24 m) high, the old trees have reached the end of their lives. “Nelson’s trees make up such an important part of the city’s character,” says Mayor Deb Kozak. “But overall, our entire urban forest is in decline. Over the next few decades, we’ll have to replace a lot of trees. Many of them start to fail, and become quite unsafe.” And that’s the case with the Lombardy poplars in Fairview, which run along the western side of the city’s primary baseball and fastball park. “This is going to be a huge job,” says public works supervisor Karen MacDonald. “But they’ve got to go — they’re rotting from the inside, they’re increasingly unstable and their big roots are tearing up the asphalt that runs along the park’s border and the adjacent alley.”

MacDonald says city crews will begin falling the monstrous poplars next week. She anticipates the job will take roughly ten days. But with the city’s aim to plant two trees in town for every one they take down, the Lombardy row will be replaced with fast growing columnar oaks, which will grow to 70 feet (21 m) at full maturity. Noting the city’s tree management plan, Kozak points out Nelson has approximately 30,000 trees in its parks, other City-owned properties and private properties. There are 480 designated heritage trees including ash, maple, oak, chestnut, and elms. “And many of those heritage trees — lots of them planted in the 1920s — have reached maturity too,” she says. “That’s why we created the tree management plan, to protect and conserve the city’s trees, to manage the removal of the trees that have to go, and to steward the on-going renewal of the city’s tremendous treed character.”

You & The Law

CAN POLICE JUST BUST INTO YOUR HOME? It’s 4:00 am, and your condo apartment neighbour has cranked up the volume on their stereo. The security guard has asked them to turn it down. When that didn’t work, he called the police. They show up and, once the door is answered, take a step inside to have a word with the owner. They see there’s about 10 people inside. The owner refuses to identify himself to the police. After a minor altercation, he tells the cops to leave so he can shut the door. When they don’t, he pushes one of them in the shoulder. He’s arrested after a minor scuffle and criminally charged with mischief (playing loud music) and assaulting police. Effective police work? Police just doing their job? Not really, though maybe you can’t help but sympathize with the cops here or the long-suffering neighbours. By the time the case came before an appeal court, the police had dropped the mischief charge. And the owner was appealing his conviction of “assault police” – arguing the police had overstepped their rights. The court looked at what went on and said some fundamental principles came into play here. These might not jump out at you at first glance. That’s why a good criminal defence lawyer is always a good idea if you’re facing a criminal charge. The defence argued that the expression “a man’s home is his castle” reflects a long standing law. The cops had broken it and trespassed by stepping into the condo apartment uninvited. That was unlawful, and so they weren’t in the course of executing their duty when the physical push of the police officer occurred. For the charge of “assault police” to stick, that key element (of being in execution of their duty) was missing here, they argued. The prosecution responded by arguing that the police had implied consent to enter. They were pursuing a criminal investigation of mischief and had valid safety concerns as to what would happen if they left and the apartment door was shut – one of the occupants had left the apartment and was standing behind them in the hallway. But the court agreed with the defence and overturned the “police assault” conviction. It accepted that the long-standing “sanctity of home” principle came into play. Unless police have a warrant, they can generally only come into your home if invited (and have to leave if you ask them to – even if you let them in at first). There are some exceptions to this principle, but those didn’t apply here. This meant that the police had in fact trespassed here, and the defence succeeded. The prosecution’s implied consent argument also didn’t wash – that rule means there’s implied consent to go up and knock on the door of a residence (going through a garden gate to the front door to knock, say), but it doesn’t allow going inside.

Leafs on four-game winning streak

TAMARA HYND Nelson Star “It’s the best feeling in the world!” That’s how Nelson Leafs defenceman Kyle Chernenkoff described scoring in the last three minutes of the game, bringing his team to a 2-2 tie with the North Okanagan Knights Sunday. “Everybody’s cheering, there’s no better feeling.” The Leafs pulled themselves together in the third period to topple the Knights’ 2-0 lead, eventually winning 3-2. Knight Kelsey Byrne scored in the first and Liam Molloy in the second. Head coach Dave McLellan said things changed for the Leafs when they figured out what the Knights were doing. “The Knights were playing collapsing defence and four man through the neutral zone for the most of the game and we weren’t really recognizing it. We had to shoot the puck in and go get it,” he said, adding the Knights’ two goals came when the Leafs turned the puck over at the wrong time. Leafs forward Jo Davie scored the first goal seven minutes into the third, spurring the second goal by Chernenkoff which brought the score to 2-2. Chernenkoff told the Star: “You get that first [goal], you get momentum and then everyone gets going. We’re unstoppable.” Then, with 19 seconds left, Leaf Brendan Smith scored to secure victory. Smith said it felt “awesome” to score the winning goal. “It felt really good to come out in the third as a team and get three goals in a period,” said Smith. The Leafs remain in the middle of the Neil Murdoch division with 18 points, three behind the Castlegar Rebels and four behind the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. Leafs captain Rayce Miller was injured at the beginning of the second period when he took a puck to the face, which dropped him to the ice bleeding from the mouth before leaving for hospital. McLellan said Miller lost at least a couple of teeth and had a bad contusion. He suspects Miller will be out of action for at least a week. Also absent from the ice was recentlyacquired forward Nick Novin. With seven points from two goals and five assists in only four games, Novin has the highest pointsper-game rate on the team. An American coming from an Arizona team, McLellan explained Novin’s paperwork was only good

Leafs take Grand Forks thanks to two Tylers The Leafs won 3-2 Friday in double overtime against the Grand Forks Border Bruins, thanks to a penalty shot goal by Tyler Garcia. The nailbiter finale was brought on by a 2-2 tie created by Leaf Tyler Fyfe and Bruin Shayne Pluto. Pluto’s initial goal in the first was returned by Fyfe. In the second, Fyfe scored again, putting the Leafs in the lead well into the third. Fyfe said Grand Forks has improved greatly since last year. “We came into the game thinking they weren’t going to be that good,” said Fyfe, “and they surprised us so we laid back a bit.” In the third, with less than five minutes left, Pluto scored again, tying the game 2-2. The game went into overtime with the teams dropping to four-on-four but that failed to decided anything. Going into the second overtime, it dropped to three-on-three. That’s when the Leafs were awarded a penalty shot when the Bruins were caught with too many men. “That, for me, was exciting and a big confi-

dence builder,” said Garcia, adding he wasn’t having the best game until that point. (In the second he served a minor penalty for high-sticking plus a 10-minute misconduct.) When the Bruins’ penalty was called, Garcia said back at the Leafs’ bench, head coach Dave McLellan asked “Who likes shoot-outs?” “I raised my hand like ‘coach, coach’,” laughed Garcia. He explained: “I’m always out late practising on the moves I do with the goalies and I just had that one picked out the whole time.” While the Nelson crowd cheered and the Leafs mobbed Garcia in congratulations for his winning shot, expletives were slung at the referee by some Bruins. Even when most players had left the ice and benches, screams from the Bruins bench were directed towards the referee. Reflecting on the game afterwards, Fyfe told the Star: “It always feels good [to score] but in the end, we got the W, even if it wasn’t the prettiest. I think, in the end, we were the better team.” The Leafs play only one game next week, as they face Princeton for the second time this season on Saturday at the Nelson and District Community Complex. The puck drop is at 7 p.m.

John Charles “Jack” Richards Dec 24, 1921 – Oct 10, 2015

“A long and happy life” With sadness and love, we announce that Jack passed away peacefully on October 10, 2015. Jack was born on December 24th, 1921 in the Old Mill House in Tappen, BC. Later his family moved to a 40 acre farm where Jack and his three sisters, Flo, Iris and Bobbie grew up. Jack ﬁnished Grade 10 and in 1940 signed up with the Airforce. He was enlisted until September 1945, when he returned to Tappen to help on the farm and take over his ailing father’s carpentry business. Although he was very busy, he still found time to play softball, badminton, and ski. And in 1950, it was on the badminton courts in Salmon Arm that he met beautiful Margaret. They courted and then married in 1952. Jack came to Nelson to look at some work prospects and fell in love with the lovely little town, making it their home. He worked with TH Waters, doing carpentry, for about 8 years. Then he started his own business with his friend Blacky Blackwell, and called it BlackJack Construction. In 1954 Jack built a house on Ridgewood Rd and son Greig was born that year. Then daughter Shelley followed in 1956. Jack and Marg enjoyed badminton, bowling, square dancing, and socializing with all their wonderful neighbours and friends. Through the years, Jack built many houses in the area and he has left a strong legacy of quality workmanship, that he passed on to his son Greig. Jack retired in 1986 and they enjoyed trips to England, Hawaii, California, Arizona and Alaska. Predeceased by his loving wife, Margaret, whom he has missed dearly since 2005. Also predeceased by his parents Wallace and Beatrice Richards, sisters Flo, Iris and Bobbie. Survived by son Greig (Cathy), daughter Shelley, grandchildren Bobbie, Michael, Rick (Lori) and Cody (Marin), and great grandchildren Coleton, Merissa, Hayden and Hunter and many nieces and nephews. “Gramps” was such a big part of all our lives, and will be so very missed. Special THANK YOU to the wonderful staff at Mountain Lakes Assisted Living and Talarico Place. Also much gratitude to Dr Lee Mackay for treating Dad with such respect and helping him to live life to the fullest.

Donald Vincent MacEachern December 23, 1930 - October 4, 2015 Canadian Pacific Railway Inspector (Retired) Donald Vincent MacEachern passed away at the Kootenay Lake Hospital on October 4, 2015. Born in Kamloops, B.C. on December 23, 1930 to Vincent and Katherine Veronica (“Vera”) MacEachern (nee Loftus). Don is also predeceased by two brothers, Thomas and William, sister Margaret and the love of his life Dorothy Joan MacEachern (nee Shkwarok). Don is survived by his daughter Daryn Violet MacEachern and granddaughter Sarah Grace Heibein. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins from the MacEachern-Shkwarok clans. It was Don’s wish that there be no service. In his memory, the family would be grateful for any donations made to your local Veteran’s food bank or Legion. Don was a proud and supportive Veteran. From the family, we would like to thank Don’s friends in Harrop-Procter for their support as well as the staff at Mountain Lake Seniors Community where he had been living for the past 7 months. Dear Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, cousin and friend, we love you and we are going to miss you. xoxo Megan Johnson with Thompson Funeral Service, Nelson has been entrusted with the cremation arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca

Celebration of Life for this true gentleman will be held on October 23, 2015 at the Legion Hall in Nelson from 2-5pm. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society greatly appreciated. Online condolences maybe expressed at thompsonfs.ca.

Alicia Luzardo Lovely Alicia Luzardo, mother, sister, friend and grandmother, passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones on Saturday, October 10th. She was born in Toronto and raised in Southern California, the daughter of Robina Watson from Kirkintilloch, Scotland and Alfonso Luzardo from Bogota, Columbia. She was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in February, a hand she graciously accepted for a long, slow dance. She was kind, compassionate, full of understanding and forgiveness; every choice she made was thoughtful, concise and with purpose. Thank you Alicia, for sharing this experience with us. You helped us to carve through that which is nonessential and recognize our own strengths. There was laughter and pain and love and loss and suffering, all the elements of a life well lived — truly lived. The bustle in a House The Morning after Death Is solemnest of industries Enacted upon Earth— The sweeping up the Heart And putting Love away We shall not want to use again Until Eternity.

Marie Taylor 1919 – 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marie Taylor on September 28, 2015 at 96 years of age at Mountain Lake Seniors Community. Marie was born in Hohenseibers, Czechoslovakia on March 30, 1919 to Emilie and Josef Netek. On February 21, 1948 she married Archie Taylor in Pouce Coupe, BC. They lived on a farm in Gundy, BC until moving to Dawson Creek, BC. Marie worked for the Dawson Creek General Hospital in the food service department for many years. Upon retiring they moved to Balfour and built their new home. Mom enjoyed her beautiful flower gardens and loved living among the mountains. Marie is survived by three daughters Gerda (Ernest) Symons of Balfour, Eleanor (David) Martin of High River, Linda (Roger) Tindley of Chester, England, granddaughters, Lisa, Kristy, Annie and Jennifer, grandsons, Brian and Greg, 8 great grandchildren and one great, great granddaughter, sister Hilda Ireland and nieces and nephews. Marie is predeceased by her parents, two brothers and husband. In 2009, Marie moved to Mountain Lake Seniors Community. During her time there mom was happy, always smiling, laughing and enjoying the wonderful staff as well as bingo, sing alongs and other activities. A special thank you to the Mountain Lake Seniors Community staff. Mom will always be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Marie has been cremated and will be interred in the Balfour Cemetery at a later date. At her request there will be no service.

James Dudley George Wallbridge 1926~ 2015

It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of James Dudley George Wallbridge on Friday September 25, 2015. Jim was born in Lampman Saskatchewan on May 27, 1926, the only child of Catherine (MacDonald) and Joseph Wallbridge. During his childhood, his father’s career as a manager with the Bank of Montreal took the family all over the prairies and finally to Edmonton, Alberta. In his youth he enjoyed sailing, skiing, music, photography, and mountain climbing. He graduated from the University of Alberta in 1948 with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree. He was an active member of the Kinsmen Club. He worked in the Department of Public Works Canada, including for a time as a private consultant, but ultimately settled into a long career with the Department of Public Works. Various jobs and promotions again took him across the prairies, with time spent in Calgary, Medicine Hat, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. He became a specialist in building structures in the difficult conditions of the arctic. Jim was a life member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta and the Alpine Club of Canada. Despite his many moves across western Canada, he developed several life-long friendships over the years. After work, Jim loved nothing more than to spend time with his wife and three children. Sunday mornings often involved everyone piling into the car to go for “a drive”, usually with jazz music playing on the CBC. Many happy memories followed from summer vacations in the station wagon; once again from trips all across the prairies. These vacations often followed the same formula: 300 miles a day, find the most interesting museum in town (or a hydro-electric project), and then look for a motel with a play structure. An especially favoured activity was to a follow a gravel road up hill somewhere until you couldn’t drive any farther. Retiring to Nelson BC in 1986, Jim pursued his favourite pastimes of skiing, golfing, sailing, volunteering, and travel. Gardening was not his forte but he was a master composter, a craft to which he dedicated the same intellectualism and attention to detail that made him an effective engineer. Many a Nelson garden benefited from his magic product. Jim liked order in his life; he always planned ahead and always read the instructions before starting a project. He was also a forward-looking thinker and inspired by science and social justice. He was singularly unprejudiced towards other people, often against the grain of the times in which he lived. He was committed to the safety and security of his family and many of his financial plans for this day started decades ago. Jim valued the pursuit of education, which he believed made life more interesting and meaningful. He was always reading a book. He felt that tomorrow always offered something new to discover. Jim was a two-time cancer survivor. He always thought that he would die younger, like his father, but to his surprise the life force within him was always resilient. His last couple of years living with Parkinson's syndrome in a personal care home were difficult for him. When his body began to fail he could no longer walk and speaking was difficult. Despite this, his mind remained essentially intact and he remained fully connected with those who loved him until the end, especially his wife and life-long partner Shirley who visited him twice a day. She was with him when he finally grew too weary to continue his fight against his illness. He is pre-deceased by his parents and a son-in-law, Joe Harwood. He leaves to mourn him his wife of 57 years Shirley (nee Gilchrist); his children Hal (Trish), Anne, and Kevin; and two grandchildren Matthew and Sarah. Also remembering Jim will be many relatives and old friends. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Jim's life is planned for next summer in Manitoba. Jim's motto "Love one another and help those in need. Regardless of colour, race, church or creed." Megan Johnson of Thompson Funeral Service, Nelson has been entrusted with the cremation arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca
