Bennett makes it four in a row B.C. Liberals maintain majority government in 40th general election A r n e Pe t ryshen a n d s a lly macd on al d Townsman Staff

Bill Bennett took the Kootenay East riding for the fourth election in a row, capturing 63 per cent of the Kootenay East vote, compared to 36 per cent for the NDP’s candidate Norma Blissett. Bennett has held the riding since 2001 when the B.C. Liberals took power. This time, his party also formed another majority government, despite broad polling throughout the election campaign which suggested the NDP would form a majority. At his campaign’s celebration at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook, Bennett said he was happy to hear that his party was poised to take a majority lead in the province. “I never believed that we had no chance,” Bennett said. “I always be-

lieved we had a good chance at winning.” About his own victory in the riding Bennett echoed the sentiment. “I’m really, really grateful that I won,” Bennett said. “I have a lot of support in Kootenay East. I know people personally. It’s not like a big city riding where you don’t know where you don’t know your constituents.” He said that knowing people personally puts pressure on him to perform his duties in the legislature. Bennett said that seeing a new Intensive Care Unit at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital is the number one task he has on the horizon now that he has been re-elected, followed by funding for the homeless shelter in Cranbrook. This will add to the bal-

Bill Bennett, the newly re-elected MLA for Kootenay East, accepts congratulations from his supporters at the B.C. Liberals gathering held at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook, Tuesday evening, May 14.

REMINDER: escape LIFE IS is always MEASURED anMOMENTS option IN

Bittersweet is the only way to describe the feelings of NDP MLA Norm Macdonald after being declared re-elected in Columbia River-Revelstoke last night. Macdonald himself won a third consecutive term as MLA for the riding, which stretches from Kimberley to Revelstoke, but instead of surfing a wave of NDP victories across the province, he watched in shock as the B.C. Liberals surged to retain power – a result predicted by no one. Macdonald declared himself “pro-

foundly disappointed” at the results of the evening, though he was grateful for his support in Columbia River-Revelstoke. Macdonald hovered around 46 per cent through the evening, with B.C. Liberal challenger Doug Clovechok mounting a spirited run with about 37 per cent of the vote. The Conservatives (Earl Olsen) and Green Party (Laurel Ralston) were almost a non-factor, both hovering below 10 per cent, effectively making the issue of vote splitting moot, at least in this riding.

Clark defies polls, wins majority Tom Fle tcher Black Press

B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark pulled an upset win Tuesday, defying the polls and pundits who started the evening talking about her exit strategy after a loss. Early results gave Clark’s B.C. Liberals 50 seats, with 33 for the NDP. Clark took an early lead in poll results Tuesday night, with veterans Mike de Jong, Rich Coleman, Terry Lake and Linda Reid retaining their seats. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins lost to B.C. Liberal Mary Polak in Langley. Cummins said he will stay on as leader. Clark had a close contest in her own constituency of Vancouver-Point Grey, running against the NDP’s David Eby, who came close to winning in Clark’s by-election two years ago. B.C.

Dongen in Abbotsford South, fell to their B.C. Liberal challengers. “Just like Alberta, the voters got to the ballot box and chickened out,” said one observer on Twitter. The result shocked observers, who had been expecting an NDP majority. “The Liberals came in with a better plan for managing the economy,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. Paralympian Michelle Stilwell retained the B.C. Liberal seat in Parksville-Qualicum, a lonely stronghold on Vancouver Island previously held by Ron Cantelon. In one of the key swings, B.C. Liberal Laurie Throness knocked of NDP incumbent Gwen O’Mahoney, who won a by-election in Chilliwack-Hope last year. Joe Trasolini, the other by-election winner, was also knocked off in Port Moody-Coquitlam. “I feel like we rose from the dead,” said former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan, who won the Vancouver-False Creek constituency for the B.C. Liberals.

“We have got great jobs here with the coal industry, the forest industry and the tourism industry,” he said. “But we’ve got to make sure we don’t leave people behind.” He added that the replacement to Mount Baker Secondary School is also an important upcoming job. Bennett praised Christy Clark’s role in the election run-up and the positive outcome for the Liberals. “I did not expect to be in opposition,” he said. “I have never expected to be in opposition. I have always believed that we were going to win. What Christy Clark has done here is something that I don’t think any politician in Canada could have done. People that said she had no substance, that she wasn’t very smart and all the other nasty things that they said about her... To me, I should never hear that ever again about that woman. She is a very, very capable person and she is a great leader and I hope that tomorrow morning she wakes up as premier.” Meanwhile, a disappointed Norma Blissett

ously the voters have spoken and they wanted Mr. Bennett back,” Blissett told the Townsman in an interview late Tuesday night. Blissett said she has been campaigning door-to-door since February, “and we’ve had other people helping in the past month, and we’ve been phoning and canvassing, and we had some good communications, so I think we ran a good campaign. It’s just the will of the people; they really wanted to support Mr. Bennett and the B.C. Liberals.” Her campaign team were hard-working and dedicated, Blissett went on. “I have had wonderful support. We have a great team of volunteers... they came through big time for me. Between all the scrutineers we had today, and people manning the office, and the sign crew did a fantastic job, I am so pleased with all the volunteers,” she said. Blissett said she was surprised the B.C. Liberals won the province. “The last polling I was looking at on the weekend showed us being nine points

Macdonald wins Columbia River-Revelstoke Continued from page 1 “I would like to thank the voters of Kimberley and this riding for their support, and of course all my volunteers,” Macdonald said. “We ran a low cost, volunteer-based campaign and we spoke the truth. It was a respectful campaign.” Despite the disappointment at remaining in Opposition, Macdonald says his job remains the same – to fight for the constituents of Columbia River-Revelstoke. “My job is to fight for seniors, for the land, for the youth in our communities, and I will continue to take that fight to Victoria,” he said. On the provincial level, he is baffled by the night’s results. “It’s a surprise to me. I expected people

would see through what the Liberals were saying. Unfortunately, the lesson learned is that to be exceedingly negative and personal will be rewarded. We passed up that opportunity both locally and

quick to give the credit to Christy Clark. “I am absolutely thrilled with the results provincially,” he said. “Christy Clark is a master campaigner and obviously, the people of B.C. didn’t want the NDP anywhere near government.”

Bouvette pleads guilty; sentencing hearing begins Bouvette charged with criminal negligence over 2011 death of Cranbrook toddler SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

The woman charged in connection to the death of a 19-month-old Cranbrook girl has pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death. Originally charged with second degree murder, Tammy Bouvette was in Cranbrook Provincial Court on Monday, May 13 for a sentencing hearing over the May 2011 drowning death of Iyanna Teeple. Bouvette, 29, cried throughout the day-long proceedings, at times with her head in her hands. She wore green sweats and has a tattoo on her neck that reads “Mommy’s Angels”.

Prosecutor Lianna Swanson outlined the Crown’s case for Judge Lisa Mrozinski. While Bouvette originally told RCMP that Iyanna drowned in the bathtub on May 26, 2011, while Bouvette turned to pick up a shampoo bottle, she later admitted to different circumstances. Bouvette was caring for Iyanna and two of her own four children, then aged 17 months and four years, and had just finished feeding Iyanna lunch, she later told RCMP. She began to unclip Iyanna from a high chair when she heard noise from another room and went to check on the other children. Bouvette then heard a loud bang from the kitchen and rushed back to see Iyanna face down on the kitchen floor with the chair on top of her. Bouvette picked Iyanna up and said she had a red mark on her forehead but no other visible injuries. She took the crying

baby upstairs and ran a bath. She then left the bathroom for about five minutes, Bouvette told RCMP in a statement in June 2011. When she returned, Iyanna was face down in the bathtub and unresponsive. Bouvette phoned 911 and tried to resuscitate the little girl. Iyanna was taken to Cranbrook hospital, then transferred to Alberta Children’s Hospital, where she was taken off life support the following day. An autopsy found injuries to the top and side of Iyanna’s head and to her mouth. Swanson told Judge

Donald Frederick Lane “Don” 1927 - 2013 It is with great sorrow that the family of Donald Lane announces his passing on Thursday, May 9, 2013 in Kimberley, British Columbia at 86 years of age. A native son of Kimberley, Don was born there on February 21, 1927 and took great pride and involvement in the community for over 60 years. He was on town council, a member of the Jaycees, a project society member for 50 years, chairman of the Parks Board and a past president of Minor Hockey; instrumental in the development and management of junior hockey, specifically the Kimberley Knights. He worked at Cominco for 40 years as a machinist and retired in 1989. Golf and family fulfilled his life after he retired. He was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. Don is survived by his wife of 62 years Vivian, son Gord (Laura), daughter Tricia Arnason (Lloyd) and grandchildren Kerra Lane, Jocelyn, Cam and Kirsten Arnason. He was pre-deceased by his parents Clifford and Janet Lane. A memorial service for Don will be held on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at McPherson Funeral Home in Kimberley at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Don may do so to the: Pines Memorial Society, 386 - 2nd Avenue, Kimberley, British Columbia, V1A 2Z8 or the Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Avenue South, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 2L9.

Mrozinski that Crown cannot prove Bouvette caused those injuries or the drowning, but said that Bouvette’s failure to protect the child amounted to a wanton disregard for her safety. Defense counsel Jesse Gelber said Bouvette was suffering from anxiety and depression at the time of Iyanna’s death, and pointed out that Bouvette pleaded guilty to criminal negligence at the first chance she had. Judge Mrozinski will hand down her sentencing decision about the case on Thursday, May 16 in Cranbrook.

Two noted volunteers pass away C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Kimberley has lost a couple of very dedicated citizens in recent days, Don Lane and Earl Chambers. Don Lane passed away last Thursday and was remembered at City Council on Monday evening by Coun. Albert Hoglund who said that Lane had given almost half his life to the Kimberley Project Society. Lane was in on its formation in 1957 and was still on the board when it disbanded in 2012.

Lane was also a big supporter of junior hockey, giving time and energy to the Kimberley Knights for many years. “He is a great loss to us all,” Hoglund said. Coun. Jack Ratcliffe noted the passing of Earl Chambers, another Kimberley resident who gave much time and effort to the Kimberley Heritage Society over the years. Both men will be missed.

Betty Elliott 1922 - 2013 Betty loved to travel. Her first journey started as a war bride from Belgium to Canada. Throughout the years she travelled to numerous places within Canada and the United States Of America. On a trip to Reno when the bus driver made a wrong turn, she wound up at the notorious Chicken Ranch. She also suntanned in Mexico and Hawaii, cuddled with a Wombat in Australia, watched the tall ships in Vancouver, and her favourite - dipped her toes in the ocean at Nova Scotia. From her trips, she brought home with her, stories of all the places she had been and an array of photos that she shared with her family and many friends. Now at the age of 91, she takes her last journey. She will be remembered by, and missed by her sons Rodger and Danny, her daughter Barbara Ann and her granddaughter Courtaney.

My ancestor, the Saxon thief N.B. Any person or persons noting any verifiable facts in the following presentation should report this at once to the editor.

y father once informed me that I was a direct descendent of Robin Hood, the so-called Prince of Thieves, so, unlike any previous authors or script writers, I bothered to spend several long hours researching the origins of the famous bandit, and I am now positive that he didn’t live anywhere near Nottingham in England. If he existed at all, he was a born and bred Yorkshireman. Anyway, in order to understand and read the Anglo-Saxon language of the time I took one of those courses by Rosetta Stone, a linguistics company that is advertised on Vision T.V., and was hoping to be able to comprehend what had been going on way back then. But then I remembered that in Yorkshire the people don’t speak a recognizable form of the English language, even the Anglo-Saxon version, and local folk still sing versions of the songs once penned by Robin Hood’s boon companion, Alan I Dare. This Alan fearlessly faced disembowelment by the Sheriff’s Norman musicians by writing ‘Whear ‘ast tha’ bin sin’ ah saw thee?’ The Normans didn’t under-

stand the lyrics but did sit up and take notice when then the peasants sang, ‘Tha’s bein a-courting Mary Jane,’ because they too were partial to a toke of marijuana on festive occasions. Apparently, Robin Hood or Robyn Hode always had hundreds of ‘merrie men’ because none of them was ever killed in the movies. It was always the sheriff’s men that got hammered; I never understood why they didn’t change sides. Take Little John, for example. He got that name because he had constructed a small, but inadequate for his size, toilet in his backyard. He was also not very bright. I’ve mentioned Alan I Dare before, but his best friend was Will Scarless. Will was scar-less probably because he was a craven coward and avoided all strife like the plague, which was to come along Peter shortly and decimate the Warland populace, hence the metric system. Frier Tuck owned a small fish and chips shop in Otley, on the moors. He was not a churchman, not with his choice of language, but he was portly and affected long robes in order to conceal his bulk and the quarter staff he had tucked into his belt. Maid Marion must have been a bit of a strumpet to hang around with the gang whilst trying to figure out what they were saying when they were plotting their nefarious schemes to foil the sheriff. If she had

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

been a Saxon, she’d probably been called something like Aelfgyfu. She was probably a Norman and certainly no lady. The trouble is the name Robin, a diminutive of Robert. It is a Norman name. Anglo-Saxons had names like Spearhafoc, Goodwine, Swein or Harold-arrow-in-eye. Anyway, things back then were just the way they are today: the rich were robbing the poor with a vengeance and big, sharp swords, but most of the money raised was going to pay King Richard’s ransom, although nobody has yet explained why. He was a Norman and wasn’t much of king, despite Sean Connery’s fine portrayal several times. Now, tons of actors have attempted to play Robin Hood and they’ve all made a thorough mess of it, especially Errol Flynn, Patrick Bergin and Kevin Costner, who always looked too clean for someone living in a forest with no toilet facilities except Little John’s little john. The more that I read in my newly acquired Anglo-Saxon language, the more I get the feeling that Robin Hood was a figment of someone’s imagination, a hero that later Britons (not one the ancient ones that daubed themselves in blue clay) needed to bolster the moral of the peasants who were fed to the rotting teeth by the way they were being treated by the upper classes. I know how they felt. But it is a strange feeling, even for me, to realize that I might be a close relative of someone who actually didn’t exist.

Blue Jays outscore Giants 10-6 GREGORY STRONG Canadian Press

TORONTO - Former Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera sparked Toronto’s six-run first inning and starter R.A. Dickey struck out a season-high 10 batters as the Blue Jays defeated San Francisco 10-6 on Tuesday night. Cabrera reached on an error to start the early rally and later drove in the sixth run of the

frame as Toronto (1624) sent 11 batters to the plate against Giants starter Barry Zito. San Francisco (2316) had its three-game winning streak come to an end. Toronto extended its winning streak to three games with the victory over the National League West leaders. Cabrera scored twice, drove in two runs and had four of the Blue Jays’ 18 hits.

Dickey (3-5), meanwhile, had his knuckleball floating nicely over his six-inning effort, allowing two earned runs and six hits. Relievers Brett Cecil, Brad Lincoln and Esmil Rogers finished things off in front of 31,753 fans at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays will go for the sweep of the twogame interleague mini-series Wednesday night.

Kletzel resigns from Ice TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel has resigned from the team, citing personal reasons as he begins a new life as a family man back in Lethbridge. Kletzel, who signed on as an assistant coach last off-season, spent the year under head coach Ryan McGill, where he helped guide the club to a 15th straight playoff appearance. However, Kletzel is about to become a father as his wife, Amy, is due any day now, and his resignation reflects his desire to spend more time with his family.

Chad Kletzel The family will make the move back to Lethbridge after the baby arrives, where Kletzel will get back into his teaching career at a junior high school where he formerly worked. Despite the resignation, Kletzel said he was grateful for his

time on the bench with the Ice. “I think it was really good,” said Kletzel. “I was lucky to have the opportunity to work in a very well-respected organization in the Western Hockey League with two very experienced individuals with Jeff Chynoweth and Ryan McGill.” “I had a good envi-

ronment to learn a lot from their experience.” Kletzel hasn’t explored any options to stay in hockey in Lethbridge, as he and his wife both wait to see what life is like with a newborn. Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth said he understood the reasons for Kletzel’s resigna-

tion. “We are disappointed that Chad will not return for his second season with the club, but completely understand and respect his desire to spend more time with his family,” Chynoweth said. Chynoweth added that the search for a replacement will begin immediately.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Canada will face Sweden in Thursday’s quarter-final at the IIHF World Championship. That matchup was confirmed Tuesday when Switzerland defeated Belarus 4-1 to finish first with 20 points atop Canada’s pool. Canada (5-1-1-0)

ranked second with 18 points. Sweden (5-2, 15 points) had third locked up before beating Denmark 4-2 in its final preliminary-round game. The top four countries in each group of eight advance to the quarter-finals with first playing fourth and second facing third. The Czech Republic hammered Norway 7-0 to claim the group’s

fourth and final playoff berth Tuesday. The Czechas meet unbeaten Switzerland in Thursday’s other quarter-final in Stockholm. Finland finished atop the Helsinki pool after a 3-2 win over Latvia and will face Slovakia in the quarter-finals. Slovakia clinched fourth place in the group with a 4-1 win over the United States.

Ice acquire new defenceman TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice have acquired a new defenceman in a trade with the Tri-City Americans, announced general manager Jeff Chynoweth on Tuesday. Kootenay sent a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2015 WHL bantam draft to the Americans in exchange for Clint Filbrandt, an 18-year-old rearguard who hails from Calgary. Chynoweth said the trade was necessary to shore up a defensive corps that may be short an important player come next season. “With the uncertain future of Tanner Muth and whether he will be able to return to our club next year, we felt it was important to add

another defence man with WHL experience,” said Chynoweth. “Defencemen are tough to come by at all levels and this trade will give Clint and opportunity to be an everyday player with our club.” Filbrandt logged 31 games in his rookie season last year, posting a goal and two assists with 17 penalty minutes and a plus-two rating. “With an abundance

of defencemen signed for the upcoming season, I wanted to give Clint an opportunity to continue to play in the WHL,” said Americans GM Bob Tory. Muth came to the Ice via a trade with Swift Current two years ago, and will be entering in his final year of WHL eligibility if he returns. The Ice defenceman has battled concussion injuries over his career.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am finally divorced. My ex and I have a minor child together. He has met my new partner, and they get along great while at our son’s sporting events. I thought it would be healthy for our son to see us as friends. I also thought it would be nice to meet my ex’s new girlfriend since they’ve been a couple as long as I’ve been with my guy. I made several requests to introduce myself, but she refuses to meet me. I find this odd, because she helps take care of my son when he’s in my ex’s home. It seems to be a control tactic on her part. My ex never stands up to this woman about her treatment of me, and although I’ve never said a nasty word to her, she sends me ranting emails regularly. She once mailed a fourpage hate letter about my parenting skills. I feel bullied. For the record, my ex is kind to me when she is not around. But when he’s on the phone with me and she’s nearby, he becomes rude and hostile. I’m sure he’s putting on a show for her. I’ve always promoted my child’s father in a positive light, but I am tired of this infantile behavior. It’s exhausting. Requests, questions and messages about school activities often go unanswered, or I get one-word responses from him. Then he accuses me of not keeping him informed. My family has suggested that I stop communicating with him altogether. What do you think? -- Texas Dear Texas: If you have an opportunity to talk privately with your ex, calmly explain that it is difficult for you to deal with his inappropriate behavior on the phone, and you would appreciate it if he would be civil in your interactions. Otherwise, you will expect him to get his information through the school, and you will instruct the office to include him. His girlfriend seems abusive to you, and it’s a shame your ex doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to her. (She may be abusive to him, as well.) We trust she does not take this out on your child, but please keep an eye on that. Dear Annie, I just left my dermatologist’s office after waiting an hour to see him, and I’m furious. Don’t doctors realize that their patients’ time is also valuable? Another doctor left me sitting in his office for two hours, and I was the second appointment of the day. When I asked the receptionist why the long wait, she told me the doctor likes to flirt with the nurses at the hospital. This same doctor charged me for a hospital visit after he popped his head into my room to say he was running late and didn’t have time to see me. If doctors know they are likely to run late, why don’t they stretch the time between appointments? I’m sick and tired of physicians expecting their patients to finance their fancy homes and golf memberships while they treat us so poorly. -- Fed Up in Louisville Dear Fed Up: Some doctors cannot help running late if they have emergencies. And others are working to schedule less crowded appointments or to phone patients when they are behind. But your most effective policy is to find doctors who are more accommodating to your schedule. If you consistently wait more than an hour for a regular appointment because the doctor is “flirting,” tell the doctor (not the receptionist) that you will be looking for another physician and why. Dear Annie: You have printed letters about adoptees searching for their biological families, but I think people ought to look at this in a different manner. If you don’t know your biological family, you also won’t know whether the person you fall in love with is a sibling. Everyone needs to know who his or her family is. -- Just a Thought Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
