Steeves Solicitors for the Estate NOTICE TO CREDITORS IN THE MATTER OF the ESTATE OF MARJORIE RUTH BELLAN of the City of Winnipeg, in Manitoba, deceased. All claims against the above estate, duly verified by Statutory Declaration, must be sent to the undersigned at Box 520, Beausejour, Manitoba, R0E 0C0, on or before the 17th day of March, 2014. DATED at Beausejour, Manitoba, this 30th day of January, 2014. BELLAN WASYLIN LAW OFFICE Solicitors for the Executor Legals A S threats go, they likely don't get more chilling: A man accused in a brutal killing where the victim was found stuffed in a barrel warns another the same cruel fate could befall him. But whether Corey Tymchyshyn gave Allan Hallson this deadly warning in fall 2012 remains a major issue of credibility a Winnipeg jury must now sort out. Hallson, 55, testified Tuesday in the first- degree murder trial in the death of Chad Davis, 22. Davis, a drug dealer and Tymchyshyn's friend, was found dead inside a barrel fished out of the Lee River in July 2008. He had been struck in the head several times with an object, possibly a hammer, a pathologist found. Prosecutors allege Tymchyshyn, 37, and his then- business partner, Kristopher Brincheski, 31, killed Davis in a Prince Rupert Avenue garage months earlier and dumped his body. They have pleaded not guilty and are presumed innocent. Hallson testified he worked for Tymchyshyn as a general contractor over the summer and into fall 2012. The two spent many hours together driving to and from job sites, he said. Hallson said at Tymchyshyn's insistence, he constructed what became a 100- plant marijuana grow operation in the basement of a rented home on Manitoba Avenue. But a party Hallson threw there drew Tymchyshyn's ire, Hallson said, ostensibly because the secrecy of the growop was put in doubt. It led to an angry confrontation where Tymchyshyn made an ugly death threat, he testified. " He said that he shot his friend and put him in a barrel, so he said I'd end up in the same way," Hallson said. " He said he had the body bags already in the truck - garbage bags to dispose of the body." Hallson also recalled for the jury what he claims Tymchyshyn had said months earlier, regarding what he'd done to a nameless " friend." " He had shot a person over a drug- op, a grow- op," Hallson said of Tymchyshyn's comment. " He had put him in a barrel and put him in a river by a cottage," Hallson said. Hallson's daughter testified she was present during the angry confrontation between her father and Tymchyshyn - whom she had met many months earlier and thought was " a decent guy." The dispute happened just after she and Tymchyshyn met at a Junior's Restaurant to talk about her father's situation, she said. " He told me the last person that f'd up ended up in a barrel," she said. " It was an odd thing to say. It was a very definite statement," she said. " I felt our lives were in danger." She ultimately went to the RCMP about her concerns. Hallson faces charges after the grow- operation was busted on Nov. 2, 2012, but said he was offered no deals to testify, despite initially asking police for one. He conceded he was a drinker back then, but chafed slightly at defence lawyer Roberta Campbell's suggestion he was a " chronic alcoholic." He conceded Tymchyshyn said little to him about his personal life, prompting Campbell to wonder aloud why he would tell Hallson about killing someone. james. turner@ freepress. mb. ca SOMETHING just went bump in the night. You peek outside, and someone's messing around your car that's parked on the street. Time to call the police? First find out if it's a parking commissionaire - nine of them are working through the night to nail scofflaws who violate snow parking bans or run extension cords over the sidewalk to the front street. Paul Peters and two neighbours on College Avenue found that out the hard way when they received tickets early Wednesday morning. The fine is $ 100, reduced to $ 75 for speedy payment, none of which is any solace for Peters, who has been running a cord to the street since snow in the back lane made it impossible to get his second car parked back there. Some area residents only have space for one vehicle in the back, and some have none, he said. " I can't put a driveway in," Peters said. " I have a two- car garage, but one has a fourfoot windrow - I put it there so I can get into at least one of them," he said. There's no place else to shovel the snow in the back lane, Peters said. The tickets were marked as 12: 33 a. m., said Peters, who had reckoned another neighbour turned him in to the city. " Three tickets, one, two, three," Peters said later on Wednesday. " I just thought, you've got to be kidding me, this is Winnipeg. " What parking official walks the streets at 12: 33 a. m. handing out tickets? How am I going to plug my vehicle in?" Mynarski Coun. Ross Eadie had no sympathy for his constituents. Tripping over an extension cord can be dangerous, said Eadie, who is blind: " Pedestrians can be able- bodied, use wheelchairs, use walkers, push grocery carts and so on. Tripping is not a fun situation, especially when you are blind." Plowing operations don't appreciate electrical cables in their path, he said. The city passed the following bylaw in 1977, amended in 1982: " Electrical cords: 2.15. No person other than a Utility shall place or leave on or across any part of a City street, an unattended wire, cord or cable, that is capable of transmitting electrical energy from public or private property to or across a City street." Lots on College are 50 metres deep, said Eadie, offering plenty of space for parking. " People should consider buying or renting homes where there is enough parking space on the private lot. I know families grow, but people really need to consider these factors before buying the second or third car," Eadie said. Running an extension cord from your house to the front street has been illegal for nearly 40 years, a city official said. " The bylaw is in place for safety reasons, as cords may present a tripping hazard to pedestrians or become caught/ pulled during plowing operations - both on the sidewalk and on the street. Where cords are left, they can impede plowing operations," she said. " Originally only enforced by the streets constables from the public works department, authority to issue offence notices for this was delegated to the Winnipeg Parking Authority in 2012, as the parking authority's number of enforcement officers allows for more timely enforcement," said the official. As for overnight enforcement, " During the period of the annual snow route parking ban, nine officers and a supervisor are on duty," she said. nick. martin@ freepress. mb. ca City to mull over back- lane windrows THE cold- hard problem of windrows in back lanes will be part of a review of the city's snow- clearing practices that was ordered on Tuesday. The public works department was instructed by the public works committee to prepare a report examining the city's policy on not clearing back- lane windrows and also what went wrong with snow- clearing efforts in Island Lakes. Public works director Brad Sacher said unlike front streets, crews plowing back lanes have no place to deposit snow blocking rear entrances and are forced to leave the windrows in place. Coun. Russ Wyatt had hoped the city could take advantage of new snow- clearing equipment to manoeuvre in the tight confines of back lanes. In Island Lakes, many residential streets were repeatedly missed by a private contracting crew during cleanup efforts in the snowstorms that hit the city between Christmas and New Year's Day. City officials said the private contractor in the area had been overwhelmed by the severity of the snow buildup, compounded by the difficulties of meeting a tight schedule and frigid temperatures. Sacher will bring a report back to the committee later in the year. Are you Painfully Shy?
