A Lethbridge man will remain in custody for at least another 30 days while he undergoes an assessment at the Southern Alberta Forensic Psychiatric Centre in Calgary.
Tshisumpa Douglas Tshilombo had hoped to be released from jail Thursday, but Crown prosecutor Vaughan Hartigan opposed his release during a showcause hearing in Lethbridge provincial court.

The name LizAnn Reid may not be known far and wide but to a select group of people in Lethbridge it personifies selfless giving.
She’s put in tens of thousands of volunteer hours with Streets Alive since its doors opened in 1990.
“LizAnn represents the commitment of all of our donors and volunteers. They just never quit,” said Ken Kissick, director of Streets Alive.
Without volunteers like Reid, Streets Alive probably wouldn’t be celebrating its 20th anniversary.
“It would be impossible to name everyone because they all deserve a special mention,” he said. “There’s been heartache and joy but Julie and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. These people are special to us. They’re special to God.”

After nearly a century, says Michael Cormican, it’s definitely time for a political change in the Lethbridge constituency.
The community activist says he’ll be running for the federal Liberals’ nomination here Saturday, aiming to succeed Lethbridge MP Rick Casson.
“It’s been 90 years since other than a Conservative has represented us,” Cormican said, confirming his candidacy. He ran third to incumbent Casson and New Democrat nominee Mark Sandilands in the 2008 federal election.
With Casson retiring, however, there will be no incumbent next time and Cormican says there’s a mood for change.

They’re steps in the right direction. But workplace safety initiatives recently taken by the provincial government don’t do enough to protect Alberta employees.
That’s the response from the Lethbridge and District Labour Council, following announcements by Thomas Lukaszuk, the province’s minister of employment and immigration.
“There is so much more that needs to be done,” said Richard Merrick, president of the Lethbridge council.

Fish trial wraps up |

Despite presenting evidence for nearly a week, a crown prosecutor failed to prove chlorinated water killed hundreds of fish in the Pincher Creek in 2006, the defence lawyer for Chinook Pipelines Inc. said Tuesday in Fort Macleod provincial court.
In his closing submission, Bradley Nemetz of Calgary told court there wasn’t any reliable evidence to prove the company dumped super chlorinated water into the town’s storm drain, which feeds into the Pincher Creek.
“There is no credible evidence before you,” Nemetz told Judge Gerald DeBow.
He added it’s doubtful that even the normal level of chlorine in the town’s drinking water was high enough to harm the fish.
But even if there was chlorine in the water, Chinook Pipelines wouldn’t have known it was harmful, and was only following industry standards for disinfecting pipelines following construction, Nemetz said.
