He was very manipulative with
everyone.”’

The bearded man with the salt-

good looking.

“And he was the best of the

and animals. People didn’t see the

him, with a doubt.”

her sister, Brenda Vogel.

Uncomfortable in a dress, Roxan-
ne is more at home in the barn where
she has a ‘‘natural”’ ability to nur-
ture animals, Trussler said.

Three times Roxanne left Murray,
and three times he. lured her back
with threats and promises.

“*She lived in constant anticipatory
terror,” said her Victoria lawyer,
Doug Cunliffe. ‘He (Doug) was a
powder keg with a death wish."”

One day when Roxanne com-
plained to Doug about the food bill
for their 14 animals — including six
pit bulls and one

who shot her husband under similar
circumstances — the law of. self-
defence stated that a person had to

alternative.

“But for those with battered wife
syndrome, there are no other
reasonable alternatives,"’ Urban told
the court.

The Manitoba case, Lavallee vs.
Her Majesty the Queen, gave Urban
the “‘legal avenue”’ he needed to stay
the second degree murder charge

Roxanne and demnieed she had
battered wife syndrome “‘in spades,”’
Urban told the judge. ‘‘She exhibited
the Classic symptoms. She was in an
absolute psychological prison like an
animal placed under glass."*

Victims with the syndrome are
traumatized, not unlike prisoners in
@ concentration camp or followers in
a cult. They feel isolated, tive with
continual stress, guilt and fear of
being beaten. It get to the point
where the victim says, ‘‘I can’t leave,
he'll kill me, and I deserve it
anyway,”’ Urban told the court.

But on that fateful New Year’s
Day, the victim turned on her tor-
turer, he said.

The Murrays had planned to visit
friends when Doug decided to cancel
the visit.

“Roxanne knew she was probably
going to die,” Urban said. ‘‘Even
though he had not said, ‘My dear, I
am going to kill you,’ she (became)
like an animal relentlessly hunted.’’

Roxanne went to the bedroom to
unload his gun, dropped two shells
on the floor and figured he would
hear her. So she grabbed the loaded
shotgun to show him she was armed.

“You pull the trigger or I will,”
she said he told her. In that state
she pulled the trigger and blew his
jaw off . . . then went back and

“The biggest agony for Dana was
dropping the charge,’ said Cunliffe.
“It was not easy, but this was an ex-
treme casé: This is what we're all
grappling with, whether a case like
this should go to court. But it is the
Crown’s duty to bring charges that
are warranted, and if they are not, it
is his duty to drop it.’’

However, Urban warmed: ‘This
decision is not a licence to kill
husbands who batter wives in the
Kootenays. The point to be learned
is that each case depends on its own
merits. We must balance the need for
fundamental justice. That has got to

Cunliffe ‘nd th the RCMP for their
“extremely valuable work.’’

He said to Roxanne: “You have
suffered greatly and I hope your life
will turn around now.’’

Roxanne’s life has turned around,
her lawyer says and she is on her way
to recovery. Appearing briefly out-
side the courtroom, she told repor-
ters: “I'm slowly getting my life back
under control.

And she urged battered women to
get help before they’re forced to kill.
Looking tense and drained, she said,
“I hope women will seek help before
their lives get to where mine ended
up.” i

Committee to eye project

By SIMON BIRCH
Editor

Castlegar city council voted Mon-
day to establish a committee to help

» COuncil identify and monitor. the im-

Pacts of the Celgar pulp mill expan-
sion and modernization project,
especially during the construction
phase of the project.

The committee will. consist of
representatives from the RCMP, the
local board of health, the school
district, the Castlegar Chamber of
Commerce, the Castlegar and
District Development Board, Celgar,
the Ministry of Social Services and
Housing, the city’s Advisory Plan-

ning Commission, the Canada Em-
ployment Centre, the Regional
District of Central Kootenay and
Castlegar council.

Council will develop’ terms “of:
reference for the new committee.
City_staff will prepare the terms for
discussion at council’s next commit-
tee of the whole meeting March 5.

“This committee’s going to have a
fairly important role in the next
while,’ Ald. Kirk Duff said. ‘When
we set the terms of reference we
should keep that in mind. Hopefully,
there’s enough agencies (represented
on the committee) that when

something comes up we'll have it
covered.”

Ald. Marilyn Mathieson
questioned ~ whether.. Castlegat
Hospital Will be répresetited"oh the™
committee.

Mayor Audrey Moore said she'd
like to see Central Kootenay Health
Unit director Dr. Nelson Ames on
the committee.

“He has an appreciation for the
health needs in this area,’ Moore
said.

Ald. "Doreen Smecher said she'd
prefer to see the school district ap-
point a staff member rather than a
trustee to the committee.

Feast

About 220 people, who
cheered when it was their turn to
feast and gave chef Diane Boel
an ovation, shelled out $20 a
ticket for the dinner and dance.

While they ate, diners could
gaze at exact replicas of just what
they were eating, displayed in
various lifelike poses, on. the
back wall of the hall, as local
taxidermists showed off their
wares,

And as deep as the variety of
food was, it was matched by
variety of the crowd which
ranged from non-hunters and
senior citizens to young bucks

Association president Steve Davis
said the 27th annual shindig is
kind of a roundup of the year’s
activities for local sportsmen.

**It's a combination of awards,
good time, fundraising event.
They pile it up into one
evening,” said Davis. ‘‘A lot of
people were going away saying it
was the best banquet ever. The
whole function was really super.’’

Final tallies "t in yet, but
just from th& fundraiser a
huge raffle of over $2,000, in
prizes donated by local merchants
and a special raffle of wildlife ar-
twork — the wildlife association
raised over $1,500 for its various
activities.

As for awards, Castlegar’s Don
Campbell was the top local win-
ner with four awards including
the granddaddy of them all, the
prestigious Grand Aggregate
Award for a black bear. The
grand aggregate award is given to
the hunter who “has taken a
species of game animal that stan-
ds out above all others.’”

The same black bear got Cam-
pbell first place in the big-game
seniors category and he also got
firsts for a goat and a whitetail
deer. Davis finished second in the
latter category.

About the only one to bring
home as much hardware as Cam-
pbell was Trail hunter Ben
Yaseniuk, 18, who swept all four
Saoey positions in the junior

Four men were" honored with
plaques recognizing them for 25
years of dedication to the local
association: George Worobey,
John D'Andrea, John Hall and
John Walton.

Darrel Keus won a pair of
awards in two categories in-
cluding a first in seniors fishing
and second for a black bear in
big-game seniors.

Mike Sarton was also a two-
time winner with a first for a
mule deer in big-game seniors
and second to Campbell for a

oat.

Stuart Clow and Ralph Kosak
won first and second respectively
for moose while Gary Fodor was
honored for bringing home the
biggest moose of the year.

Other winners included Wayne
Sherstobitoff and Peter
Yaseniuk, who won first and
second respectively for elks, Fred
Wacheck, who was second in
seniors fishing and Frank
Ingham, who was second for a
mule deer.

Chamber supports plans
for Vancouver airport

By CasNews Staff

Overcoming the difficulties of
weather and mountains to operate
reliable air service at Castlegar is one
thing but the lack of arrival and
departure slots at Vancouver Airport
is an added burden to travellers,
pilots and air traffic controllers, the
Castlegar Chamber of Commerce
says.

Earlier this month, chamber direc-
tor Dale Donaldson présented a brief
in Vancouver to an environmental
assessment panel holding public
hearings on -plans to build a new
runway at Vancouver International
Airport.

The proposed expansion would
handle the predicted increase in air
traffic at Vancouver into the next
century.

“The concerns of local residents,
although important, must not
overshadow the benefits of ad-
ditional runway capacity at Van-
couver International Airport,’’
Donaldson said in a news release.
“West Kootenay air travellers and,
for that matter, all rural British
Columbians would receive much bet-
ter air service if the improvements to
Vancouver International Airport
were to proceed.”

The proposal, if approved, would
allow construction of a new 3,030-
metre runway parallel to the existing
main runway at the airport

From 1985 to 1987, the number of
aircraft arriving at and departing
from Vancouver Airport increased 36
per cent, the chamber says in the
release.

Castlegar chamber president Jim
Craig said the chamber sent Donald-
son to Vancouver to present the brief
in keeping with chamber policy of
lobbying for the best interests of the
Castlegar business community and
improvements to the local transpor-
tation system.
