Airport passes public approval Only 303 Valley electors oppose airport upgrade

fines according to the Crown’s discretion.

“The longer this stays, the more likely they’ll do more,” said Wright as he helped scrub off graffiti from the back of the old post office building at Argyle Street and Fourth.

After sitting vacant since 2008 when Canada Post moved out, the large structure was recently bought by Port Alberni residents Stacey and Brent Manson and Elizabeth and Mike McKay. They hope to bring businesses to the building’s 30,000 square feet of space, but the recent wave of graffiti indicates that the property might need to upgrade its protection.

“I think that probably we’ll look at some additional surveillance and cameras on the outside,” said Stacey Manson. “We do have an alarm system right now.”

“The wall was only painted last week,” said the building’s contractor, Randy Patterson.

A small fraction of Alberni Valley residents are opposed to funding an expansion to the regional airport through property tax increases, according to recent results from a process conducted by the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District.

Submissions have been counted from an alternative approval process the regional district undertook this summer, yielding a mere 303 Alberni Valley electors who filed forms against the airport’s financing plan. As a legislative means of measuring public opinion, 10 per cent of eligible Valley voters – or 2,050 people – needed to oppose the project’s funding plan for the matter to be taken to a formal referendum.

This week’s results from the alternative approval process allow the ACRD to pass a bylaw to take out a loan of up to $6 million from the Municipal Finance Authority.

Repayment over 30 years would be shouldered by property tax increases of up to $16.80 annually for each home valued at $200,000.

The matter is set to be approved by the board of directors at a public meeting next Wednesday.

“With the adoption of the bylaws that enables the borrowing and subsequent tax requisition in following years,” said the regional district’s CAO Russell Dyson.

The Alberni Valley Regional Airport’s expansion plans include lengthening the runway to over 1,500 metres to accommodate larger aircraft like the C-130 planes Coulson Aviation plans to refit into air tankers. The ACRD’s board of directors have approved over $126,000 worth of vegetation clearing contracts around the airstrip to accommodate a global positioning system that allows aircraft to navigate through heavy cloud cover, and medium intensity tarmac lighting is planned to make the facility a year-round functioning airport that provides passenger flights.

Now the regional district awaits the result of an application made to the Strategic Gas Tax Fund, a provincial and federal grant expected to bring in two-thirds of the airport project’s $7.5-million cost if approved. Word on the gas tax funding is expected in the fall.

“My understanding is that the board wants to await the results of this grant application before considering that,” Dyson said.

Overnight graffiti sprays Alberni’s Uptown ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The Uptown business district was hit by a wave of graffiti this week, causing thousands of dollars in property damage for local building owners and merchants.

The tags were discovered throughout the Uptown area Wednesday morning. Victimized locations include city hall and two buildings owned by the Coulson Group of Companies at Third Avenue and Mar Street which have been hit by graffiti several times in the past.

Port Alberni RCMP have asked for the public’s help in tracking down a suspect.

“Various slogans and images were spray painted on the property in red and green coloured spray paint,” stated the police file on the incidents, which mentions city hall and six other nearby businesses were affected.

“Anyone who may have witnessed these incidences or have information related to the crimes are asked to contact the Port Alberni

Kevin Wright, president of the Uptown Merchants Association, counted at least 50 tags in the area – many carrying a distinctive logo with the word “TEST?” Graffiti is a federal offence in Canada, bringing jail time ranging from six months to two years plus

MUNICIPALITY

Empty lot on 3rd could be new apartments ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Plans are underway to transform a lot that has sat empty for years into the Uptown business area’s highest building.

A development application is currently being processed by the city to build a five-story structure at 3033 Third Ave. between Argyle and Mar. Jaspal Saroya, the Nanaimo-based applicant who has owned the vacant lot for years, is proposing to build 40 two-bedroom living units – plus another eight spaces for businesses on the large building’s first floor.

Last week the city’s Advisory Planning Commission recommended a zoning variance for the development, allowing the application to come before city council on Monday for review.

“We have to give notice to the neighbourhood area that council is considering a variance,” said city planner Scott Smith, noting that final municipal approval on the application is not expected until after August.

“It will have to come to a future meeting for council to consider public input and then they can make a decision.”

Development in the area around Third and Argyle is sorely needed, as a presentation to city council by Kevin Wright,

president of the Uptown Merchants Association, identified that 21 of the area’s 55 storefronts were empty in February.

“We’re at a very preliminary stage and there’s no firm indication that it will all follow through, but if it did, it is a significant addition to that area,” said Coun. Chris Alemany of the

proposed apartment complex.

“It adds a huge amount of residential units to that area, which I don’t believe it has ever had in its history.”

If it follows through, the Third Avenue project would join two other major developments that are already underway in the Uptown area.

These include a $6-million building currently being constructed by the Uchucklesaht First Nation to bring four stories of apartments and a cultural centre to the corner of Argyle and Kingsway Avenue, as well as a group of residents who are preparing the long-vacated Canada Post building at Argyle

RCMP

Sgt. Jeff Swann is down, but not out, in the fight for his right to stay in Ucluelet and both he and his community plan to keep punching.

Swann recently received a transfer order to Port Alberni.

“Port Alberni is a fantastic choice but Ucluelet is still my preferred choice,” Swann told the Westerly News.

Swann has commanded the Ucluelet RCMP detachment since 2009 and has requested a two-year extension on his posting to conclude the substantial community-policing projects he has spearheaded.

“Even though I’ve been told I have to transfer, I’m hopeful that the RCMP will still consider to reconsider. I’ve still got a few options I’m pursuing with that,” he said.

He added that, wherever he ends up, he will remain committed to the RCMP. “I love the organization I work for, I like going to work, and I’m going to put my best product forward in whatever capacity or town that may be,” he said.

Swann added that if he absolutely had to move, Port Alberni is a solid destination.

“My first choice is Ucluelet and if it can’t be Ucluelet I’m excited that it’s somewhere that I’m very comfortable and familiar with,” he said.

He said the Ucluelet and Port Alberni detachments work closely together and he has enjoyed positive relationships with Port Alberni’s police.

“I know the majority of the members in Port Alberni and I’m looking forward to working with them whenever that opportunity does arise,” he said.

“For now, and for the foreseeable future until these irons in the fire get sorted out or our house sells, I will continue to be a Ucluelet resident.”

Ucluelet Coun. Sally Mold told the Westerly News she felt “flabbergasted, angry, sad, (and) dismissed,” when she heard Swann

“Even though I’ve been told I have to transfer, I’m hopeful that the RCMP will still consider to reconsider. I’ve still got a few options I’m pursuing with that.”

Sgt. Jeff Swann, Ucluelet RCMP

had received his transfer papers despite Ucluelet’s collective and clear desire to keep him.

“I feel we’ve been largely ignored,” she said.

“There was no consultation done with the communities served by our local RCMP.” Mole noted that Sgt. Swann has overseen a 60 per cent reduction in Ucluelet’s crime rate since his arrival in 2009 and has brought a consistently positive community presence to Ucluelet.

She said the RCMP have not made a compelling case for Swann’s forced departure and assured that she will continue lobbying for Swann to stay.

Mole is also the executive director of Ucluelet’s chamber of commerce and launched a letter writing campaign earlier this

GRAFFITI, from Page 1 Patterson added that wheel marks have already affected his efforts to the exterior. “It’s not just the graffiti, I just did the whole front with granite and the skateboarders have destroyed all that.

Kids on their BMX bikes, I can’t keep up with it.”

The new owners did find encouragement from the recent incident.

Tags to the back of the old post office were quickly attended to with a graffiti removal kit the Uptown Merchants Association has available for affected businesses in town. The city has pledged to replace the cleanup supplies if any kits run out.

“I think it’s a fantastic situation today when we can come here disappointed to see what’s on the building, and yet Kevin brings the kit and tells us how to work it,” Manson said.

With the building’s interior cleanup complete, owners await an environmental remediation process this summer.

year to allow the local business community to voice its opinion on the issue.

“When we heard the news that Sgt. Swann was likely to be transferred a number of businesses expressed concern,” Mole said.

“They were wanting to keep something that’s been in place and has worked, our crimes stats have been dropping steadily, and the business community felt like we’re in a good spot right now we don’t need to change it, it’s not broken.”

Mole received over 50 letters supporting Swann’s request to stay as well as a surprising amount of correspondence from out-of-towners.

She was both disappointed and surprised to receive no direct response from the RCMP.

“Our hope is that we’ll be able to work on the exterior and make it really appealing to somebody who would want to open a business,” added Manson.

Trade deal needs public consideration T o trade negotiators and legacy-seeking politicians, the failure to finalize the world’s biggest trade deal in Hawaii last weekend was a frustrating setback. To Canadian voters, it was welcome pause.

Most electors know little to nothing about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a 12-country trade and investment pact hatched behind closed doors over the past six years. The terms have never been disclosed or explained. There have been no public hearings and no parliamentary debate.

The media, unable to get reliable information, have relied on leaks and reports from lobbyists: Dairy farmers might lose their tariff protection, drug prices might go up; and municipalities might lose their right to patronize local sup-

pliers. But those are just fragments of a complex, 20-chapter document encompassing everything from labour standards to environmental safeguards.

The scope of this agreement dwarfs previous commercial treaties.

It will establish a common set of trade rules for 33 per cent of global trade and 40 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product.

The Canadian Council of Chief Executives calls it “the biggest game on the planet.”

But it is a game from which the public has been excluded.

Putting a fait accompli before voters would have been mockery of the democratic process.

They don’t have the information they need to weigh the cost and benefits. They can’t assess the impact the proposed agreement would have on their lives,

their jobs or their communities.

Now that the election campaign is underway, voters will be able to seek a commitment that the final draft of the accord will be made public before Canada becomes a signatory.

They will be able to find out where Thomas Mulcair and Justin Trudeau stand on the almost-finished deal. And they will be able to cast their ballots before Canada is locked into any accord.

The negotiations will continue during the campaign.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper, who had hoped to portray the TPP as one of his government’s signal achievements, made it clear Monday he still regards the treaty as the linchpin of the “fundamental trading network of the entire Asia-Pacific region.”

But the pressure to wrap up the deal by mid-summer is off.

The hurdles facing negotiators militate against an early conclusion. Canada’s unwillingness to dismantle its supply management system is just one problem. Japan and Mexico are at loggerheads over the auto tariffs. The U.S. has run into fierce resistance to its drug patent proposals. Side issues such as the possibility of currency manipulation and the fear of frivolous corporate lawsuits against member nations still loom.

All three party leaders agree Canada needs to be at the bargaining table during the 11-week electoral race.

“We can’t have any empty chair there,” said Don Davies, trade critic for the New Democratic Party. But the Conservatives no longer have

a mandate to authorize major concessions or commit Canada to a completed accord. They are at the table in a caretaker role.

Their primary responsibility is to protect Canada’s interests.

It will be up to the nation’s next government to sign or reject the final deal. Before any treaty becomes law, it will have to be approved by a new Parliament, preferably after public scrutiny.

In the meantime, voters have an opportunity to get some vital facts, get a commitment the ratification process will be open and get a clearer view of their options.

The stakes are too high for a headlong rush. The consequences are too far-reaching for a blind vote.

God is the ‘Old Faithful’ all can look to I

n Yellowstone National Park there is a steaming hot geyser called “Old Faithful”. During the summer season, it attracts thousands of admiring visitors a day.

This natural wonder has never disappointed its onlookers in the history of Yellowstone. Although Old Faithful does not go off at exactly the same intervals, it is very reliable. In fact, it is the most predictable geyser in the world.

God also 100 per cent reliable and dependable. In I Corinthians 1:9, we read, “God is

Les Bonnell Faith Matters Faithful to do what He says and invites us into partnership with His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.”

We can rely on our God who continuously demonstrates His crowning glory in nature, and our vast universe.

We see His good works and

faithfulness each day as the sun rises and sets, the tides ebb and flow, the seasons come and go. Every time we see a spectacular rainbow, we are reminded of His beauty and creative handiwork.

We also have the assurance that never again will He destroy this world with a terrible flood.

It may seem a long time has elapsed between our prayer requests and the answer, (just like the time lapse between the geyser eruptions), but we can be assured that God always

hears us and will answer in His time and according to His plan for our lives.

That plan begins when we invite Him into our hearts.

Jesus then becomes our Partner, Saviour, and Friend, giving us that wonderful assurance, that no matter what we are facing, “He will never leave us or forsake us.” – Hebrews 13:5 » Les Bonnell is a recently retired chaplain for Ty Watson House and the Alberni Valley Hospice Society.

DRAG RACING

Thunder in the Valley needs sunshine Rainfall forecast for weekend could cancel races; new timing system won’t include reader boards yet MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Drag racers are hoping the meteorologists have it wrong for this weekend in Alberni.

The 15th annual Thunder in the Valley is scheduled to hit the race track at the Alberni Valley Regional Airport on Saturday and Sunday, but a rainfall forecast could put the event in jeopardy.

“We’re doing the sun dance now,” said Bill Surry, president of the Alberni Valley Drag Racing Association. If the rain does fall for the weekend, the races would have to be cancelled, he noted. “We won’t know until Saturday night.” If the rain stops by Sunday then races could take place for at least one of the two days, he said.

As of Thursday afternoon, Environment Canada predicted the rain to start this evening, with a 60 per cent chance of showers on Saturday and Sunday.

If it was just a slight bit of precipitation, it wouldn’t be a problem, Surry said. But some weather forecasts are predicting up to 15

millimetres.

“It would be a disaster if we didn’t run it because we spent a lot of money buying new stuff,” said Surry. The AVDRA spent US$31,000 on a new timing system and reader boards. Unfortunately the new reader boards haven’t arrived yet from the States, but the new timing system should be in place.

Thunder in the Valley needs to stay dry, but cooler temperatures would actually benefit both fans and cars, Surry added.

Last year’s races drew 3,000 spectators to the airport, who slowly cooked under a 40-degree sun.

Temperatures for this weekend are forecast for a high of 19 degrees on Sunday.

About 250 racers are registered this year, with 19 Doorslammers, the top category at the event. A nitro-powered dragster is also planned for an exhibition show.

Thunder in the Valley’s Show and Shine is scheduled for the Harbour Quay this afternoon at 4 p.m.

Races are queued for a 9 a.m. start on Saturday.

Raiders QB questionable for Saturday’s home game SCOTT MCKENZIE NANAIMO DAILY NEWS

The Vancouver Island Raiders survived one week without their star quarterback on the field.

Another without him, though, is a different story.

Liam O’Brien, the Raiders’ All-Canadian quarterback, is being listed as questionable for Saturday’s 4 p.m. game against the Okanagan Sun at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park, a game that pits the B.C. Football Conference’s only unbeaten teams against each other in Week 3.

O’Brien suffered an upperbody injury near the end of his team’s 22-14 Week 1 win over the defending champion Langley

22

nd

Rams before sitting out in Week 2’s nail-biting road win over the Westshore Rebels.

“We’re hoping he’s going to go,” said Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman, “but we’re not 100 per cent sure, no. He’s better than he was last week, but we’re waiting to see.”

Last week, former John Barsby quarterback Brody Taylor split the reps at quarterback with receiver Dustin Rodriguez.

Whoever plays the position against the Sun will have an effect on the game plan, Erdman said.

“It affects it a lot,” he said.

“If he plays, then it’s a confidence thing. He’s an All-Canadian quarterback, and you can’t replace

him. If he plays, then we’ll go with our regular offence.

“If he doesn’t, we’ll have to use Dustin’s mobility, and Brody’s a sit in the pocket type of guy.”

One positive that came out of the Raiders Week 2 win was the play of fourth-year runningback Nathan Berg, who scampered for 198 yards and two touchdowns off a team-record 34 carries against the Rebels.

It was a performance that earned Berg BCFC player of the week honours and one that adds another dimension to an offence that has leaned toward the pass in recent years. Berg is the league’s top runner with 288 yards — 112 better than anyone else.

Blue Jays complete series sweep of Twins STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Edwin Encarnacion drove in four runs on two doubles and added his 21st home run of the season as the Toronto Blue Jays finished off a four-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 9-3 win on Thursday.

The win extends Toronto’s winning streak to five games going into a crucial weekend series at the American ENCARNACION League East-leading New York Yankees. Toronto has won eight of its past nine games.

Dioner Navarro knocked in two more for the Jays (58-52), who had seven batters either drive in or score a run.

No. 9 hitter Ben Revere went 3 for 4 with three runs scored. The left fielder also showed his speed by advancing to third base on a bunt single. Left-hander Mark Buehrle barely broke a sweat on the mound, allowing three runs on five hits in seven innings.

Trevor Plouffe hit a two-run home run off Buehrle in the fourth inning followed by a solo shot by Aaron Hicks in the seventh.

Buehrle was never in real trouble, and neither were the Blue Jays, who further solidified their hold on an AL wild-card spot while dealing another blow to the free-falling Twins (53-53).

Tonight: Take off as soon as you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others seem to dominate, and your voice nearly might be drowned out. Turn this situation into a positive one and take off for a weekend away. You have been carrying a heavy burden, and you need a break. Tonight: Make a must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to communicate, but you can’t seem to get past a problem. Touching base with someone at a distance might be difficult. Remain optimistic, even when you hit an obstacle.

JUSTICE

Man says he killed ex-girlfriend because she was demon-possessed THE CANADIAN PRESS

KAMLOOPS — A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ordered a psychiatric assessment for a man who claims he killed his ex-girlfriend because he was in the “fight of his life� with a demon.

Christopher Butler has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Deanne Wheeler, saying he strangled her with a rope saw and cord and beat her with a rock before stabbing her to death.

B.C. Supreme Court has heard Butler, 41, invited Wheeler to his apartment on Dec. 30, 2014 before killing her.

He went to the RCMP detachment and told police he was waiting for her with the rope saw and wanted to murder her because she was possessed.

Despite those admissions, Justice Keith Bracken said Thursday that there is uncertainty about whether Butler’s mental state at the time

“He also commented that demons breathe the same air that we do and that you have to cut off the air supply,�

Alex Janse, Crown lawyer

allowed him to form intent to murder.

Butler told officers he wanted to plead guilty, but he has refused legal assistance and represented himself in court.

Bracken noted that Butler has consistently questioned in court whether he is not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder. “What I killed was not the body of Deanne, but what was inside her,� Butler said during one court appearance.

Butler will be sent to the provincial forensic psychiatric hospital for a 30-day assessment. He has

been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, mood disturbance and delusional thinking, Crown lawyer Alex Janse presented evidence through text messages of Butler’s increasing jealously and controlling behaviour in the weeks before Wheeler was killed.

Janse said he coaxed the woman to meet him at his apartment on the pretext that they should remain friends.

He told police he strangled Wheeler, describing her as a demon and saying: “When it entered my apartment, I set down the coffee it had bought. We went forward into the living room. It turned around and said, `You will no longer call me Satan,’ and its eyes went huge and black . . . I feared for my life and said, `Die, demon, die.�’ Butler complained in court that there was no way to test Wheeler for possession by evil spirits, making a comparison to medical staff trying to determine rabies in a dog by killing it and then testing for the

virus.

Butler told an undercover police operator placed in jail immediately after his arrest that he knew before Wheeler arrived at his apartment that he would kill her. “He also commented that demons breathe the same air that we do and that you have to cut off the air supply,� Janse said.

Butler told Bracken that he understands his crime. “I did kill Deanna Wheeler. That’s why I’m here to take responsibility,� he said. “Deanna was a good person. She was a human being. I don’t understand,� Butler said. “At the same time, I’m a victim in this.�

Court heard that on three occasions, he went to Wheeler’s home, where she lived with her parents, in the middle of the night. He was turned away one time by her father.

At another time, he wrote “I love you� all over a truck in front of her house. He also left notes and phoned her repeatedly.

Tutor accused of sex crimes in B.C., Ontario

Quick action averts fuel spill in Surge Narrows

B.C. man admits to possession of child porn

Vancouver Police say a 70-yearold English-as-a-second-language tutor has been charged with sexual interference and there may be more victims in British Columbia and Ontario.

Officers want to speak to students and parents who may have had contact with Christopher Jon Adams.

Investigators believe Adams, who uses several variations of his legal name, lived and worked in Ontario before moving to B.C. He has links to Vancouver’s Chinese-Canadian community and has advertised his services online and Asian newspapers.

Police say Adams was hired to tutor a 12-year-old girl after she arrived in Canada in 2013 and that an investigation began after allegations he may have touched the child for sexual purposes.

Coast guard officials and the crew of a tug worked fast Wednesday night to prevent what could have been a major spill off the northeast coast of the Island.

A barge loaded with 60,000 litres of diesel and gasoline hit rocks and began taking on water in Surge Narrows near Campbell River.

Coast guard spokesman Dan Bates says the coast guard lifeboat from Campbell River raced to the scene to help the tug crew refloat the barge.

The situation was especially dire because Surge Narrows is known for its treacherous tidal flows, with currents running up to 16 knots.

Water was pumped out of the barge and it was refloated and towed off the rocks before being moved to port for repairs.

A Vernon man will be sentenced in October after his arrest in a Canada-wide child pornography investigation.

Forty-six-year-old Rylan Sandberg pleaded guilty to possession of child porn in May. He and another unidentified 49-year-old man, along with a 29-year-old Kelowna man, were among 150 Canadians arrested after an investigation began in February 2014. Police seized over a million images, some of infants, along with video depicting sexual abuse of children.

Police arrest suspect in pellet gun attacks A 21-year-old man is under arrest in connection with a series

of drive-by pellet gun attacks in Abbotsford.

Officers in the Fraser Valley city say they are now looking for at least one other person following 15 shootings between July 18 and 27.

The search for the second person comes as investigators say recently obtained video footage clearly shows a driver and a man with the pellet gun in the suspect vehicle.

The man holding the gun is believed to be between 18 and 25-years-old, but police haven’t said if the 21-year-old in custody is suspected of being the driver or the shooter.

In each case, pellets were fired at random from a passing dark-coloured sedan, injuring four women, five men and damaging several vehicles and homes.

Police say extensive media and social media coverage of the incidents turned up information that assisted with the first arrest and

Judge declares dog must be euthanized A B.C. judge has ruled that a dog that attacked another pup is dangerous and needs to be euthanized.

Two off-leash dogs attacked another dog in Peachland on Jan. 1, puncturing its lung.

The injured pup — a Lhasa Apso-Wheaton Terrier named Charley — was put down later that day.

Judge Anne Wallace has ruled that both dogs involved in the attack are dangerous, but only one — a Presa Canario named Jake — needs to be euthanized.

She says Jake is a grave danger to other dogs and will seriously injure or kill them if he is loose around them.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The powerful opioid fentanyl, recently linked to an outbreak of overdose deaths in Western Canada, appears to be flowing along a well-worn drug trafficking route — killing some of its users in the same way tainted ecstasy did before. Authorities theorize the potent painkiller is being imported from Asia to the West Coast, then moved to the black market in B.C. and Alberta by organized crime groups.

Policing has largely centred around public warnings and education campaigns to prevent overdoses, while investigations are at such an early stage that officers haven’t yet uncovered any pill manufacturing operations. It’s a pattern reminiscent of early 2012, when investigators were probing the source of batches of ecstasy mixed with an unknown, lethal additive as deaths stacked up.

Mother says sleepwalking caused son’s death THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A mother’s suggestion that her son, TV personality Chris Hyndman, plunged to his death while sleepwalking has shone a light on the dangers associated with the disorder.

Glenda Hyndman told the Toronto Star that she believed her son fell to his death while sleepwalking on the terrace of the downtown Toronto home he shared with his professional and personal partner Steven Sabados.

Sleep researchers say there have

been documented cases in which sleepwalkers engage in very complex activities and wind up inflicting harm on themselves or others.

However, they say those cases make up the extreme minority of the situations they encounter.

Hyndman, co-star of CBC fashion and design show Steven and Chris, was found lying in an alleyway just outside of his home late on Monday evening.

Police have not identified a cause of death but have suggested that there is no criminal investigation underway.

Colleen Carney, director of the Sleep and Depression Laboratory at Ryerson University, said Hyndman’s death would be a tragic rarity if it was caused by a fatal sleepwalking accident.

“Injuries during sleepwalking tend to be mild, but there’s tremendous variability in sleepwalking and also the severity of it,” Carney said in a telephone interview.

Somnanbulance is already an unusual disorder to encounter in adults. Dr. Sat Sharma, medical director for Toronto’s Centre for

Sleep and Chronobiology, said that less than one per cent of the adult population suffers from the condition that is most prevalent in childhood.

Sharma said the majority of sleepwalkers confine themselves to wandering aimlessly in their homes and usually find themselves unable to perform complex tasks like unlocking doors or taking themselves further afield.

Such actions are possible, though, for those with particularly grave conditions. Sharma said risk of injury is “very serious” in

such instances.

High-profile examples of this phenomenon often focus on sleepwalkers inadvertently harming others in their somnambulant state, sometimes with tragic consequences.

Sharma said sleepwalking disorders can take unusual forms, adding the past five to 10 years have seen a spike in people admitting to eating in their sleep.

Hyndman’s mother told the Star that her son frequently “foraged” for food without being aware of doing so.

Voters in the Calgary-Foothills riding will go to the polls on Sept. 3 to elect a member of the Alberta legislature.

Calgary-Foothills has been a stronghold for the Progressive Conservatives, but has been without representation since the May 5 provincial election.

Former PC premier Jim Prentice won the riding but quickly resigned when the Tories were swept from power by the NDP. The NDP and Liberals have already chosen candidates and the Wildrose is to hold its nomination meeting Aug. 15.
