Court hears from The Jumbo to and fro RCMP in Learn trial

War of words heats up as proposed resort decision nears C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

TRE VOR CR AWLEY

It was a brief day of testimony in front of Justice Dev Dley on Friday for the fourth day of the Cheyenne Learn trial in Cranbrook Supreme Court.

Two members of the RCMP testified under questioning from crown counsel, with defence counsel also completing cross-examinations.

Learn is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Tammy Ellis in December 2007. He was convicted of second-degree murder in 2009, but an appeal overturned the decision in 2013 and he was awarded a new trial.

Crown counsel Lianna Swanson

began the proceedings by examining Const. Travis Dow, who was on scene and collecting evidence at the residence where the shooting on Dec. 17th, 2007.

After testimony from Dow, the court also heard from Cpl. Philip Sullivan, the officer who arrested Learn at a family member’s house a day after the shooting occurred.

Defence counsel Brent Bagnall also cross-examined both witnesses.

Sullivan’s testimony centred on the night of the shooting and the events of the next day.

As proponents and opponents alike await the word from the provincial Environmental Assessment Office as to whether construction on the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort has substantially started, neither side is backing away from commenting on the issue.

Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, long a vocal opponent of Jumbo, has issued a press release stating that the state of construction of the Jumbo Glacier Resort continues to tell a story of “incompetence, sloppiness and amateurishness”.

“A few weeks ago, the public discovered that the BC Liberal government had allowed the proponent of Jumbo Glacier Resort to lay the foundation of their day lodge in a Class 4 avalanche path,” said Macdonald. “Now we have discovered that not only is the day lodge foundation situated in a dangerous location, the day lodge has been placed outside the boundaries of the area established for the resort.”

However, Tom Oberti with Pheidias Project Management Corp. the project manager for Jumbo, refutes that claim.

“The Jumbo Glacier resort project has been under attack by

special interest groups for a long time with a vast barrage of exaggerated and inaccurate claims,” Oberti said. “The report that the daylodge is in a Class 4 avalanche path is purely based on a media attack by representatives of the RK Heli-ski company based in Panorama. The daylodge is near but not on the run out of an existing avalanche track, as documented by the existing forest, and as checked by the experts. Peter Schaerer, the foremost avalanche expert in Canada, has reviewed the claims

by RK Heli-Ski and stated:

Cranbrook, you never cease to amaze us, with your community good cheer and your love of a parade. Hundreds gathered in the pouring rain on Baker Street Friday evening for the annual Santa Claus Parade, sponsored by JCI Kootenay. Never knew there were so many umbrellas in town. The parade ran in conjunction with the Cranbrook Farmers Market indoor market, which was a roaring success. And here’s a shout-out to Monsieur and Madame Claus, who brought red-coated cheer to town and kicked off the Christmas season. We notice that as soon as their sleigh passed, winter weather arrived.

The transit experiment, January, 1948 Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

With the celebration of the 15th year of service in Cranbrook, it came to our attention at the Townsman that Cranbrook had a short-lived, ill-fated endeavour into public transportation many years ago.

In fact, the bus system, which consisted of two routes, lasted only four weeks from mid-January to mid-February, 1948.

“Scheduled to commence early next week, possibly Monday, a newly-established public transit service will be launched by City Bus Service, when a 32-passenger bus will commence to traverse the city on a ten-cent fare basis,” the Cranbrook Courier wrote a few days before the launch.

“It is expected that the new enterprise will fill a long-felt need here, and that the reasonable cost of the service will make its wide use likely by those not owning or using other means of transport,” the same article said.

The bus route began the second week of January, 1948.

There were two organized routes and the buses were designed to fill the gap between “shank’s mare” (one’s own legs) and the regular taxis.

Route 1 traversed the south portion of the city and started at 7:30 a.m. (except on Sundays). It took 20 minutes to do the loop. The same bus then covered Route 2. The Routes continued on until 7:30 p.m.

The terminal was located across from the old Post Office on Baker Street.

Tickets were 12 for $1, or single fares for 10 cents.

“The routes have been carefully laid out to serve the population having the greatest distance from home to the city’s centre, and will be fast and frequent enough to fill the requirements of shoppers and others to and from the down-town area,” the Courier wrote.

The bus could seat 25 people on cushioned seats and had additional standing room.

The bus service was proving popular with residents, as a Jan. 15, 1948 headline read. Then on Jan. 29, the paper reported that new runs were being added to the successful two main routes.

“Considerable overhauling of schedules has recently been done by City Bus Service, with a view to providing a better service through closer coverage of city streets,” the article read.

The additional routes included the Van HorneFrench, Hanson-Norbury, Burwell-Fenwick and Lumsden-Garden runs.

Then suddenly, on Feb. 12, the City Bus Service asked to quit as of Feb. 18.

“As announced elsewhere in these columns, the Bus Service recently put on for a tryout here by Messrs. Don Revie and John R. Kaye, will be discontinued as of February 18th, providing permission is granted by the Public Utilities Commission of B.C.” Once the announcement that the city bus would be discontinued went in the newspaper, there were no more discussion on the matter. The papers following make no mention of the ill-fated bus service, or the reasons for it’s suddem Thanks to David Humphrey for digging through the newspaper archives for this public bus-related information.

Officer recognized for Gray Creek rescue A r n e P e t rys h e n

Cranbrook police officer Corporal Phillip Sullivan was honoured for his rescue of a woman missing up the Gray Creek Pass.

Cpl. Sullivan received meritorious service honours at the 34th annual B.C. Police Honours Night on Nov. 20.

The awards are held for police officers who braved armed suspects, flames and icy waters to save others, and whose remarkable work enhanced safety in their communities at Government House.

Corporal Phillip Sullivan is a member of the Southeast District Police Dog Service in Cranbrook.

In May, 2010, Cranbrook RCMP received a report that a female had been travelling along over the Gray Creek Pass and had failed to show up at a predetermined time at home, explained Staff Sgt. Dave Dubnyk, Cranbrook RCMP. “Cpl. Sullivan is very aware and familiar with all the backcountry area around here, so he had a pretty good idea of where she might be,” Dubnyk said. “He found her vehicle lodged in about three and a half feet of snow at the top of the Gray Creek Pass.”

Along with his police dog Rambo and a pair of snowshoes, Sullivan followed tracks leading away from the vehicle. The duo tracked the woman approximately 6.5 kilometres through snow more than a meter high.

“They managed to locate her,” she’d gotten a little turned around and was actually walking the wrong way, she’d become kind of disoriented,” he said. “And she was quite a ways from her vehicle and where she was intending to go.”

Dubnyk said there were also some fairly large bear tracks that Cpl. Sullivan had noted.

“He wasn’t certain if it was stalking him or if there was just a bear in the area,” he said. “Cpl. Sullivan took the lady and took her back to her vehicle, and using his own vehicle winched her out. “ Dubnyk said Sullivan is an extremely hard working officer who knows the area like the back of his hand and takes the calls he gets personally.

“He works day and night to get the job done,” Dubnyk said. “He gives all his credit to his dog, but it’s certainly a team effort.”

Corporal Phillip Sullivan of the Cranbrook RCMP, and Rambo.

He noted that this is just one rescue that Sullivan received some recognition for, but there are countless others.

Rambo, the service dog, also has a vast profile, from searching for dangerous armed suspects to searching for drugs to searching for avalanche victims.

Sullivan’s greatest satisfaction comes from finding lost people, especially children.

In all, 19 officers received

the award of valour, the highest award for a police officer in B.C. These officers made a decision to place themselves at substantial risk to save others.

Sixty-eight police officers were awarded meritorious service honours. This recognizes exemplary performance that exceeds expectations and enhances the public image of police officers.

Each fall, the provincial government recognizes mem-

bers of independent municipal police forces, the RCMP, and First Nations and transit police services who have acted in an exemplary manner.

About 9,000 members of these services deliver policing throughout B.C. Award recipients are selected by a committee made up of representatives from the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police and the Ministry of Justice’s Police Services Division.

Learn trial hears from RCMP officers Continued from page 1 Sullivan, who works with Police Dog Services, was called out to the residence the night of the shooting and cleared the house. After securing the scene, he said he searched the surrounding properties.

The next day, Sullivan attended a scene on 4th street behind the B.C. Liquor store, a few city blocks away from the shooting, where a civilian passerby found a firearm that was later identified to be the same one used in the shooting.

Later in the afternoon, Sullivan observed Learn walking into the home of a family member. Roughly 10 minutes later, Learn and two other people left the house and got into a van.

Sullivan testified he made the decision to pull up and stop the van before it left the property to avert a potential police chase.

After announcing his presence, Sullivan asked Learn to exit the vehicle.

Learn complied and was promptly arrested.

It took roughly four minutes for officers from a Major Crimes Unit to arrive and take custody of Learn, according to Sullivan.

Within those four minutes, he testified that Learn was “downtrodden” and was acting “like he’d given up,” but was also very co-operative.

“He was calm, collected, a pleasure to deal with,” Sullivan said, also noting that Learn did not show any signs of intoxication.

Defence counsel cross-examined Sulli-

Dow, who was first up on the witness stand in the morning, testified that he attended the scene where the civilian passerby found the firearm and assisted a fellow officer in taking photos and gathering evidence.

He went over those images of the firearm with Crown counsel, which was found sticking out barrel-first from the snow.

Dow later attended the scene of the shooting, where he cata-

van on subjects ranging from his routine in working with the police dog to the weather on the night of the shooting and the following day.

Sullivan testified that the dog was not being used for a particular task and was not actively tracking anything directly after the shooting or the following day.

He also testified about the weather and road conditions, noting that there was snow on the ground and that roads were slick.

documents indicated that the daylodge is not located within the boundaries of the Land Tenure that has been granted to Jumbo Glacier Resort.

“The report is incorrect because the Land Tenure that has been applied for is for unsurveyed land and aerial survey information, for which ground truthing was not possible because access had been removed,” said Oberti.

“It is public policy of the Province to confirm the location of the buildings by survey after the foundations are laid. The daylodge is substantial-

“1. The daylodge is placed in an area that is outside the lateral boundary of past avalanches, and future larger avalanches will be prevented by explosive devices.

“2. The resort village is not within reach of avalanche run outs.”

Macdonald also questions whether the daylodge is even located within the boundaries of the land tenure. He cites a report by Cal Meiklejohn of Meiklejohn Architects for the Ktunaxa Nation Council, Meiklejohn stated that a review of the site plans and supporting

night and that the day was cold and chilly and that there was no dramatic change in the weather.

In regard to the residence of the shooting, Bagnall questioned Dow’s earlier testimony of it being cluttered, noting that every room—save for the living room which Ellis used as a bedroom— was relatively tidy.

The trial will resume with more testimony on Monday.

logued and collected evidence such as drug paraphernalia—including marijuana, baggies containing cocaine residue and a spoon used for cooking crack cocaine—as well as two live shotgun shells.

Dow also testified about damage to the back door and door frame of the residence and noted that the deadbolt lock was broken.

Under cross-examination, Dow said that it had snowed through the

ly in the land tenure applied for and the boundary is been defined by the survey done on an as built condition. This is normal practice for large tenures of unsurveyed crown land. The daylodge is located in a ski area tenure that is hundreds of times larger than the footprint of the land lease. This is why the precise final boundary of the land lease is done on an as built basis. The incompetence is actually on the side of those who accuse without informing themselves of facts and conditions.”

“This situation has now gone well beyond any reasonableness,” Macdonald said. “After 10 years with an Environmental Assessment Certificate, all Jumbo proponents have managed is hastily poured concrete, in an avalanche path, outside of the established tenure.

We have the Ktunaxa clearly stating their opposition because of the sacredness of the site.

And there is still no investor.

“After all of this, can Minister Polak possibly say yes to Jumbo? Will Bill Bennett’s continued interference and bully-

ing tactics pressure the minister to make such a ridiculous decision?”

Asked for comment, Minister Bill Bennett replied, “I am too busy helping to create jobs to engage in the silly nonsense of the NDP.” However, Oberti had this comment.

“The situation is beyond any reasonableness because the last efforts at intimidation are baseless and discriminatory relative to any other mountain resort in B.C. The opposition, now led again by the heli-ski company, is trying to block forever the best mountain resort project in North America, as proven to reviewers of all governments, including NDP governments that invited the proponent group and approved the project and granted an Interim Agreement and the fundamental land use decision. The last step appears to be the attempt to intimidate both government and investors.”

“It will be an absolute joke if the Minister looks at this fiasco and says yes,” said Macdonald. “It will also prove that our environmental assessment process is a disgrace.”

LAKE LOUISE, Alta.

- A train derailment in downtown Lake Louise, Alta., left a rail car hanging over the edge of a bridge across the Pipestone River on Saturday.

RCMP say all five of the cars on the Canadian Pacific train that left the track early Saturday morning were empty and that no chemicals were spilled.

There were no reports of injuries.

Railway spokeswoman Breanne Feigel says the derailed cars last contained sulphur.

Feigel says there’s no word yet on what caused the train to de-

rail.

She says the derailment has been cleared and the track is now open.

“We take all incidents like this quite seriously,” Feigel said, noting that police, transportation officials and Parks Canada staff were all notified.

Police say the incident happened while the train was moving slowly past a transfer station.

They say a mechanical issue with one of the cars is thought to have caused the derailment, and that there was no indication of criminal activity.

From reporting on Agriculture in Saskatoon to entertainment in Los Angeles, career newspaper journalist Elinore Florence has tried her hand a great many ventures.

She sold her newspaper in Invermere in 2010 to try out something new, writing fiction.

The novel, Bird’s Eye View,” published by Dundurn Press in Toronto, focuses on a young woman from Saskatchewan who joins the Royal Canadian Airforce (RCAF) to become an aerial photographic interpreter.

The first printing of the novel, published at the end of October, has already sold out and the response has been overwhelmingly positive with a second printing on the way.

“People are loving it.

I’m really excited about that,” Florence said.

She has already done a number of book signings in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and recently in Cranbrook, and has found the subject matter really speaks to Canadians, especially those from the prairies.

“People are just really keen to read a book of Canadian wartime fiction. Particularly one that has a Canadian woman in uniform,” Florence said.

Though she has yet to confirm it, Florence hasn’t been able to find another piece of wartime fiction focused on a woman in an RCAF uniform.

A long-time writer of facts, Florence encountered a few bumps in the road switching to fiction.

“It was very difficult,” Florence said. “I found the most difficult part was making up dialogue. I kept turning to my notes and realizing I don’t have notes. I didn’t write down what that person said I actually have to make up something.”

It helped that the subject matter was something that hit close to home.

“I come by my interest in history honestly,” said Florence, who’s has family from each

barracks building and turned it in to our family home. I actually grew up in an RCAF barracks building,” Florence said.

The protagonist of Florence’s novel enlists in the real-world aerial photographic interpretation unit, a division who used aerial photography to spy on Axis forces.

“It’s an area I felt had been very underreported,” Florence said.

The allies started the war with 40 photo interpreters and ended it with nearly 600 — nearly half of which were women.

While the story may be one of fiction, Florence hasn’t escaped her reporting past so easily with large amounts of research and historical facts surrounding her characters.

“My character is fictional, but basically everything that happens in the book is based on fact,” Florence said.

The brave new world of Peter Goldring

T

he word of the week, dear reader, is besmirchment. But perhaps, the word Edmonton East Conservative MP Peter Goldring may be uttering now is ‘oops’.

Yes, Mr. Goldring is surely ruing the day (last Wednesday) that he decided to put out a press release urging fellow members of Parliament to wear “protection” in the form of body-worn video equipment so as to be able to defend oneself against besmirchment and claims of harassment.

This comes on the heels, of course, of the allegations of harassment by two Liberal MPs. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau suspended the two MPs, but the matter is far from over.

It is a serious issue, and one much in the public eye as Jian Ghomeshi’s accusers come forward.

It doesn’t seem particularly, what is the word I am looking for? Evolved? It doesn’t seem particularly in step with the times to immediately assume the accusers are lying and the MPs, in this case, innocent. “Shameful indiscretion and complicity” was how MP Goldring described the accusers’ actions.

However, despite the gravity of the situation, Mr. Goldring was able to give some much needed comic relief. In his release Goldring, in addition to the advice about hidden cameras, advised that they were necessary in the event that “you just

invite a colleague over at two in the morning to play Scrabble after a long day of playing sports and drinking”.

“MPs must learn,” said Goldring. “That all do not tell the truth” and thus should “wear protection”.

Yes, it happens to me all the time, those spontaneous invitations for middle of the night Scrabble games. And who knows the true character of someone who would accept that invitation, especially if that person Carolyn was involved in playing Grant sports and drinking all day.

It set off a firestorm on Twitter.

“To ponder...does Peter Goldring apprise his Besmirchmentees he’s filming them?” wondered @SeedyRoads.

“To shield myself from besmirchment, I now wear Peter Goldring on my body for protection” tweeted @Marty_Chan.

“I once played Scrabble against Peter Goldring and everybody lost.” @LukeBrizazzle “After so much hostility, it’s nice to see Liberals and New Democrats uniting to mock Peter Goldring.” @BenDiepeveen In the end, the Prime Minister’s Office itself issued Goldring’s expression of regret over the news release.

“Paraphrasing Goldring: “I am very sorry. Fortunately, you can see the exact moment I realized my error because of all my hidden cameras.” @sladurantaye

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Jake Reid tweets: “In retrospect, Peter #Goldring’s new hat should have been a big tip off for other Parliamentarians.

However, as was once again pointed out on Twitter, you can’t really withdraw a news release once the media has it in its hands. Something that juicy is not going to go away. But Goldring’s career might.

On the positive side, it will leave him plenty of time for wee hours Scrabble. By the way besmirchment would be worth 73 points with no double or triple word score.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

A Question of Clarity

I am writing this letter to express my disappointment regarding the recent fluoride referendum held in Cranbrook.

While I am disappointed with the result on a personal level, I believe the process was marred with confusion, and for this specific reason, the result is arguably non-representative. A town that waited so long for a referendum, had to deal with a question that many felt was difficult to understand. Did the form in which the question was posed affect the result? I believe this is clearly the case.

In Prince George, it was basically a concise yes or no question. Though it was reported that Sparwood had a similar format to Cranbrook, a simple review of both questions reveals that Cranbrook had to deal with a more long-winded and complex question in comparison. To reveal how simple it could have been, take a look at the Cranbrook question, and then Prince George’s: The Cranbrook Question: Are you in favor of Council adopting City of Cranbrook Cease Fluoridation Bylaw No. 3799, 2014, which authorizes

stopping the addition of fluoride to the municipal water supply effective January 1, 2015?

Compare this to the clear and simple Prince George version: The city of Prince George currently fluoridates its water supply. Are you in support of this?

It was reported that the question was so complicated, that people at the polls became perplexed and accordingly, several people were on hand to clarify, which satisfied me at first — but only temporarily. I have since spoken with many people who were there later in the day, near closing, who had no such assistance. Some admitted they believed they were voting fluoride out, when indeed, they were voting to keep it…

None of this would be significant, unless the vote was close, right? Well it was very close, at 53 per cent vs. 47 per cent. How many people voted incorrectly because of the confusing structure of the question?

Who knows? Can we be happy with a result obtained under such confusing circumstances?

Never mind that I was part of a group of

six local Nursing students, at the College who completed a two-year, well-researched project on fluoride in drinking water from 2011-2013. Never mind that our personal conclusions were overwhelmingly in favor of removing this substance from drinking water, for a multitude of reasons ranging from health concerns to financial reasons. Our well-researched conclusions are not the point of this letter — the real issue surrounds the concept of “CLARITY”.

Did Cranbrook get a non-controversial and legitimate opportunity to voice its opinion? With such a narrow margin, and such confusion surrounding this referendum, the legitimacy is clearly questionable. It certainly appears that we need to consider one last question?

Do we need to put this to another referendum with a simple yes or no question to ensure this referendum has truly represented Cranbrook’s citizens?

Well now, at last, a simple question, with a simple three-letter answer…

Jamie Sweet

Getting it wrong on global terrorism

“W

e will not be cowed by these sick terrorists,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron after ISIS produced a grisly video of the mass beheading of Syrian captives by foreign jihadis who allegedly included British fighters. “We will not be intimidated,” said Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper after the recent attacks in Montreal and Ottawa. As if the purpose of terrorist attacks in Western countries was to cow and intimidate them.

You hear this sort of rhetoric from Western leaders all the time, but Harper went further, and demonstrated exactly how they get it wrong. “(This) will lead us to ... redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organisations who brutalise those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores.

They will have no safe haven.” Sound familiar?

Sure enough, there are now half a dozen Canadian planes bombing ISIS jihadis in Iraq (although it’s unlikely that either of the Canadian attackers, both converts to radical Islam, had any contact with foreign terrorist organisations). But Harper has got the logic completely backwards.

The purpose of major terrorist activities directed at the West, from the 9/11 attacks to ISIS videos, is not to “cow” or “intimidate” Western countries. It is to get those countries to bomb Muslim countries or, better yet, invade them. The terrorists want to come to power in Muslim countries, not in Canada or Britain or the US. And the best way to establish your revolutionary credentials and recruit local supporters is to get the West to attack you.

That’s what Osama bin Laden wanted in 2001. (He hoped for an American inva-

sion of Afghanistan, but he got an unexpected bonus in the US invasion of Iraq.)

The ISIS videos of Western hostages being beheaded are intended to get Western countries involved in the fight against them, because that’s how you build local support. So far, the strategy is working just fine.

The “Global Terrorism Index”, published annually by the Institute for Economics and Peace, reported last week that fatalities due to terrorism have risen fivefold in the 13 years since the 9/11 attacks, despite the US-led “war on terror” that has spent $4.4 trillion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and anGwynne ti-terrorist operations elsewhere. But it’s not really Dyer “despite” those wars. It’s largely because of them.

The invasions, the drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Africa, the whole lumbering apparatus of the “global war on terrorism” have not killed the terrorist beast. They have fed it, and the beast has grown very large. 3,361 people were killed by terrorism in 2000; 17,958 were killed by it last year.

At least 80 per cent of these people were Muslims, and the vast majority of those who killed them were also Muslims: the terrorists of Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and al-Qaeda and its offspring in other parts of the world (like al-Shebab in north-east Africa).

That is not to say that terrorism is a particularly Muslim technique. Its historical roots lie in European struggles against oppressive regimes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it gained huge currency in liberation struggles against the European colonial empires after the Second World War. Even the Stern Gang in Israel and the Irish Republican Army can be seen

as part of this wave.

Later waves of fashion in terrorism included the European, Latin American and Japanese “urban terrorist” movements of the 1970s and 80s — Baader-Meinhof Gang in Germany, Red Brigades in Italy, Montoneros in Argentina, Japanese Red Army and so on — none of which has any political success at all. Specifically “Islamic” terrorism really begins only in the 1990s, with the rise of radical, anachronistic forms of Sunni Islam.

Only about 5 per cent of the victims of this latest wave of terrorism lived in developed countries, but it was their deaths, and their governments’ ignorant responses to them, that provided the fuel for the spectacular growth of jihadi extremism. So what can be done about it?

The Global Terrorism Index has some useful observations to offer about that, too.

It points out that a great many terrorist organisations have actually gone out of business in the past 45 years. Only 10 per cent of them actually won, took power, and disbanded their terrorist wings. And only 7 per cent were eliminated by the direct application of military force.

EIGHTY per cent of them were ended by a combination of better policing and the creation of a political process that addressed the grievances of those who supported the terrorism. You don’t fix the problem by fighting poverty or raising educational levels; that kind of thing has almost nothing to do with the rise of terrorism. You have to deal with the particular grievances that obsess specific ethnic, religious or political groups.

And above all, keep foreigners out of the process. Their interventions ALWAYS make matters worse. Which is why the terrorists love them so much.

It’s that time of year again!

Time to tie on a red ribbon in support of sober driving during the holiday season.

MADD Canada’s Project Red Ribbon campaign runs from November 1, 2014 to January 5, 2015. During that time, MADD Canada Chapters and Community Leaders will distribute millions of red ribbons for Canadians to tie on their vehicles, key chains, purses, briefcases and backpacks.

Our red ribbon is a small but powerful symbol of the wearers’ commitment to sober driving, and reminds us all that the deaths and injuries resulting from impairment-related crashes are needless and preventable.

• Share a picture of your red ribbon on Facebook or Twitter!

Don’t forget to tag it with #maddredribbon.

• Show us how you wear your red ribbon! Just take a picture of your red ribbon any way you like and then share on Twitter, or send to us to post to our Facebook Project Red Ribbon album.

Now in its 27th year, Project Red Ribbon targets the Christmas and New Year holiday season because it is the busiest time of year on most social calendars. With lots of holiday parties and events on the go, the risk for impaired driving is especially high at this time of year.

MADD Canada, our Chapters and Community Leaders, and our sponsors and supporters hope the red ribbon will serve as a reminder to:

Teens are a big driving risk on the road Sharing the road with other drivers means being aware of the abilities of fellow motorists. Whenever a person gets behind the wheel of a car, he or she is placed in the direct path of others who may not be as good behind the wheel.

Drivers with the highest rates of crashes and highway fatalities include seniors and teenagers. Although many people are quick to believe elderly drivers are the most dangerous on the road, this isn’t entirely true.

Fatality rates for drivers increase after age 65, according to a study by Carnegie Mellon University and the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

For drivers 85 and older, the fatality rate jumps considerably, to about four times higher than the fatality rate for teenagers.

However, some say these rates may be unfairly skewed for seniors. An elderly person’s body is more frail than that of a teenager, and a crash of a similar severity is more likely to kill a senior as opposed to a teenager, which can unfairly drive up fatality rates for seniors.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says accident rates for 16to 19-year old drivers are actually higher than for any other age group. Various factors contribute to the elevated teenager

traffic risk.

• Lower perception of risks: Teens are less likely than other drivers to notice a potential threat and to handle it accordingly. It can take time for information gathering and experience to develop in younger drivers.

• Underdeveloped skills: Teens have had considerably less time behind the wheel than others, which can hamper their ability to maneuver the vehicle and address hazards.

• Taking more risks: Younger drivers tend to speed, violate traffic signals, make illegal turns, and violate other rules of the road more so than other drivers. This may be to show off to friends or due to

Lack of experience and confidence behind the wheel is one factor that contributes to teenagers’ higher rate of driving accidents. overconfidence in driving abilities.

• Substance abuse: Teenagers may have a higher propensity to drink alcohol or use drugs in social settings, which can compromise their ability to drive.

• Distractions: Having multiple passengers in the car, using mobile phones and texting

are distractions that can increase the risk of a fatal crash.

• Night driving: Many seniors get off the road in the evening because of poor nighttime vision. However, teen drivers may be more active at night, increasing the risk for accidents.

While teenage drivers present the

biggest road risks, seniors are not too far behind them.

Age-related conditions can impede their driving ability, and, should a crash occur, fragility can compound the affects of an accident.

Teens and seniors are two demographics that may need more driver training and monitoring to keep roads safer.

Two out of three ain’t bad Kootenay Ice close Pacific Northwest swing with two wins Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Tired of words, the Kootenay Ice let their performance speak for itself this weekend, claiming a pair of victories on the back end of a three-game road trip through the Pacific Northwest.

After a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Portland Winterhawks (1412-0-3) Friday afternoon, the Ice bounced back in a 5-2 triumph over the Seattle Thunderbirds (11-12-2-2) Saturday. Perhaps the most noteworthy victory came Sunday night, as the Ice rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the third period to edge the U.S. Division-leading Everett Silvertips (16-5-3-1) in overtime by a final margin of 4-3.

“I was real happy with our character tonight, coming back in one of the toughest buildings, not only in this Western Conference, but in the league,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill over the phone Sunday night.

“After a three-goal deficit, I thought our guys did a great job in the third period of creating energy and really rallying with each other.”

Including a 7-3 win over the Moose Jaw Warriors Nov. 23, it’s the

second time in seven days the Ice have erased a multi-goal deficit to come from behind in the third period. Against the Warriors, the Ice trailed 3-1 on home ice after 40 minutes.

“We haven’t worried about the score,” McGill said of his club’s recent third-period pushes.

“We’ve just tried to play and generate some chances and generate some offense and generate some momentum.

I think we’ve done a good job of getting the right people on the ice when we have created momentum and they’ve kept the momentum.

Usually when that happens, the other team cracks and that’s what happened tonight [against Everett].”

After a scoreless first period, the Silvertips cruised to a 3-0 lead in the second. Russian star and Montreal Canadiens prospect Nikita Scherbak opened the scoring before Patrick Bajkov and Carson Stadnyk padded the lead.

Not wanting to be shown up by a fellow Habs prospect, 20-yearold Tim Bozon got the visitors on the board 1:35 into the third period with his ninth goal of the campaign, sparking a three-goal run by the Ice to force overtime.

Defenceman Rinat

Valiev scored a power-play goal four minutes later and Tanner Faith knotted things up with a little more than six minutes on the clock.

Faith’s game-tying goal was not only his first of the season, but also his first since March 2, 2013, when he found twine against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

After Valiev and Faith sparked the third-period comeback, fellow blueliner Tyler King ended things with a shot that Silvertips goaltender Carter Hart eventually knocked into his own net.

“The overtime goal was a lucky goal, but it is what it is,” McGill said.

“We worked for that goal, as lucky as it was.”

With Valiev’s power-play tally Sunday evening, the Ice went a combined 5-for-12 (41.7 per cent) on the man advantage over the weekend.

The Ice power play went 2-for-5 in Seattle as Bozon and captain Sam Reinhart both found the back of the net on the man advantage.

In Friday’s 5-2 loss at Portland, both Kootenay markers came on the man advantage, which went 2-for-6 against the Winterhawks. Once again, Bozon and Reinhart were the culprits.

“When you put high-

With its recent success, the Ice power play has vaulted into eighth in the league (20-for-99, 20.2 per cent).

Including three consecutive starts this weekend, goaltender Wyatt Hoflin has been given the go in 16 consecutive contests, dating back to Oct. 24 in a 9-2 loss against the Calgary

tion. Rene Paredes was 2-for-2 on his field-goal attempts.

Speedy returner Brandon Banks had what would have been the go-ahead touchdown for Hamilton on a punt return but it was called back on an illegal block in the final minute of the game.

A Ticats field goal from Justin Medlock with 2:05 left in the game cut Hamilton’s deficit to four points.

Ticats QB Zach Collaros threw for 282 yards and one TD. Banks caught a 45-yard TD pass with 1:21 left in the first half as Hamilton headed into the break down 17-7.

Attendance at B.C. Place Stadium was 52,056 fans - 1,423 short of capacity.

Mitchell was named the Grey Cup’s outstanding player.

The 6-foot-2, 196pound Texan was calm and precise on the field, completing 25-of-34 passes in his first career Grey Cup start.

Tiger-Cats receiver Andy Fantuz of Chatham, Ont., was named the oustanding Canadian after making six catches for 81 yards.

The Stamps were so excited after winning the Grey Cup, they broke the trophy.

Calgary linebacker Juwan Simpson hoisted the Grey Cup above his head to celebrate when the cup section of the trophy started to split from its base.

Ghostriders in the sky Dynamiters fall to Fernie Friday night in Kimberley

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It doesn’t seem to matter where they meet, the Kimberley Dynamiters and Fernie Ghostriders continue to show fans what a true rivalry is all about.

Though Fernie rode to a 4-1 victory Friday night, 702 fans at the Kimberley Civic Centre were privy to a backand-forth affair, characteristic of what is arguably the best rivalry in the KIJHL. “Coming into the season, all the talk was Fernie, Fernie, Fernie,” said Nitros rookie forward Keenan Haase Friday night. “Coming to play these games is fun and exciting, even in Fernie

and especially here with all the fans that showed up. It was a great atmosphere and gets you really pumped up.”

Haase, an 18-yearold native of Mission Viejo, Calif., finished the night with the Nitros lone goal, a power-play marker in the second period that briefly tied things 1-1.

“Their maturity showed in terms of their scoring chances,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Friday night, “and their goalie outplayed our goalie.”

Ghostriders puck-stopper Jeff Orser was sharp, stopping 21 of 22 shots, including a lightning-quick, rightpad save on Haase to

preserve the visitors’ 3-1 lead in the third period.

At the other end of the rink, Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer was victimized four times on 21 shots.

“I’m always honest with our goalies,” Bancks added. “Other than that, I thought we were the better team.”

The Ghostriders jumped out to a 1-0 lead late in the first period after Justin Peers tallied his first of the night. The 18-year-old native of Calgary added a second in the third period to make the score 3-1, giving Fernie all the insurance necessary.

After Haase’s tying goal midway through the second period,

Aaron Neufeld wired a shot past the glove of Brouwer to restore the Ghostriders lead for good.

Fernie forward Cole Keebler added one more marker midway through the third period to seal the victory.

The Ghostriders now own a 2-0-1-0 mark in the season series between the two clubs.

The Eddie Mountain Division-leaders earned their first win against Kimberley in a 2-1 decision Nov. 7. The two teams fought to a 4-4 draw Nov. 22.

“We saw what the top team in our division is all about,” Bancks said.

“We’ve played them well three times in a

Nitros send Klingspohn packing Leading scorer shipped to Summerland in exchange for F Braden Saretsky Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have traded leading scorer Tyson Klingspohn to the Summerland Steam in exchange for forward Braden Saretsky.

The Steam announced the deal via Twitter Friday night as the Dynamiters were in action against the Fernie Ghostriders.

According to Nitros head coach Jerry Bancks, Klingspohn was a healthy scratch for disciplinary reasons Friday against Fernie. The 18-year-old forward subsequently requested a trade to be closer to his hometown of Penticton.

“Myself and the entire Dynamiters organization are extremely proud of the opportunity we gave Tyson to grow as a player and young man,” Bancks said in a

statement. “We are disappointed that he was unhappy here and has chosen to go back to his hometown team.”

Saretsky, an 18-yearold native of West Kelowna, tallied five goals and 13 points in 19 games with the Steam this season, amassing 53 penalty minutes along the way.

In 69 career KIJHL games, the 5-foot-8 forward has 13 goals and 24 assists to his credit.

Though he has not seen Saretsky play in person, Bancks said he did extensive scouting of the forward, watching footage of his play in the rinks of Kimberley’s Eddie Mountain Division rivals. The Nitros bench boss also spoke to Saretsky on the phone Friday, and said the West Kelowna product is excited for a fresh start in Kimberley.

As for Klinspohn, he

joined the Nitros as a 16-year-old rookie during the 2012-13 season after being cut by the Steam, according to Bancks. The 5-foot-11 speedster tallied 14 goals and 24 points in 43 games that season, before setting career highs with 15 goals and 33 points last season.

In 26 games with the Dynamiters during the 2014-15 campaign, Klingspohn matched his previous career-high in points with 33, while also setting a personal best with 21 goals.

Klingspohn made it to Osoyoos in time for Saturday’s tilt between the Steam and Coyotes, registering one goal in a 7-2 loss.

As of Sunday evening, Klingspohn sits ninth in KIJHL scoring with 22 goals and 34 points in 27 games.

Saretsky suited up in

five games with the Penticton Lakers (now the 100 Mile House Wranglers) during the 2012-13 season, before joining the Steam for the 2013-14 campaign.

“On the plus side, another young man will get the opportunity to enjoy the tremendous hockey experienced provided by, not only the Dynamiter organization, but the entire town [of Kimberley] as evidenced by the amazing support Friday,” Bancks added, referencing a raucous crowd of 702 that took in Friday’s Eddie Mountain Division clash between Fernie and Kimberley, in which the Ghostriders came away with a 4-1 triumph.

Saretsky is expected to be available when the Dynamiters host the Golden Rockets Tuesday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Claude Noel hired as head coach of WHL’s Vancouver Giants CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Giants have hired former Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel as their new head coach.

The WHL team announced the move Sunday.

“We’re excited to have Claude join our organization,” said Giants GM Scott Bonner. “He has worked extensively with Ken Hitchcock, who is one of the best coaches in WHL history, and with Claude

coming from the NHL, we know he’s one of the top coaches in the world. We’re confident that he can get us back on track.”

Noel coached the Jets from 2011-2014, compiling an 80-7918 record.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Giants organization,” said Noel.

“I’m familiar with the youth and the young players and the league, and I view it as a really good situation and a good opportunity.”

Noel has coached pro hockey

for over 25 years, including four season with the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals, where he won the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award as coach of the year in 2004 after his team won the Calder Cup. He also coached the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, in the 2010-11 season.

The Giants fired previous head coach Troy Ward Wednesday and are last in the WHL’s Western Conference with a 10-18-0 record.

Kimberley Dynamiters forward Sawyer Hunt laments a missed opportunity during the third period against the Fernie Ghostriders Friday night. Hunt and the Nitros fell 4-1 to the visitors from Fernie. row. I have a really good feeling about that.

“I think the people here know we played hard. I thought we out-

chanced them. They scored and we didn’t.”

The Nitros (13-11-12) next action comes Tuesday at 7 p.m. when

they host the Golden Rockets (16-10-0-4) at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Blue Jays deal 3B Lawrie to Athletics in exchange for 3B Donaldson CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Canadian third baseman Brett Lawrie was traded by the Toronto Blue Jays to the Oakland Athletics Friday for all-star third baseman Josh Donaldson.

Pitchers Sean Nolin and Kendall Graveman along with shortstop Franklin Barreto were also sent to Oakland in the deal.

The 24-year-old Lawrie, from Langley, B.C., hit .247 with nine doubles, 12 home runs and 38 runs batted in over 70 games last season. He hit

.265 with 61 doubles, 43 home runs and 157 RBIs in 345 games over four seasons in Toronto.

The 28-year-old Donaldson hit .255 last season with Oakland, driving in 29 home runs and 98 RBIs. A right-handed hitter, Donaldson had a .342 on-base percentage.

He finished eighth in AL MVP voting in 2014.

Graveman had a 14-6 record and a 1.83 ERA in 27 starts with four of the Blue Jays’ affiliates. The 23-year-old right-hander was 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA in five relief appearances for Toronto last season.

The 18-year-old Barreto hit .311 last season for single-A Vancouver with six home runs and 61 RBIs in 73 games.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When my son was a teenager, he attempted suicide three times. My daughter has attempted suicide twice. Her 16-yearold son left a note, but she discovered it and took him to a hospital.

I have moments of complete sadness, but I have never tried to kill myself. Does this suicidal tendency run in families? Is there a “suicide gene”? -- Granny to Eleven Dear Granny: We contacted the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and here is what they said: Suicide is often misunderstood. Genetics is only a part of the story. In fact, there is no single cause for suicide. Mental health problems are also a contributor to suicide risk, and they run in families, too. Most people who have a mental illness don’t try to kill themselves, but it does put you at a higher risk: Nine out of 10 people who die by suicide have a mental illness at the time of their death. These illnesses are often treatable, but unfortunately, people suffering from illnesses like depression and anxiety do not seek treatment; they think they have to battle these problems on their own.

You would not try to fight cancer on your own, so why tackle depression alone?

Suicide attempts -- or even thoughts about killing yourself -- are clear signs of distress, and you should consult a mental health professional as soon as possible. Since your family has a history of attempts, it is especially important that you all stay on top of your mental health by regularly “checking in” with a mental health professional or your doctor, and with each other. You can’t make someone suicidal by talking about it, and they may feel relief when you ask.

You can learn more about suicide research and prevention at afsp.org. If you or your family members are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-2738255.

Dear Annie: My husband and I grew up in the Midwest. We moved to Arizona 25 years ago to get out of the cold and snowy winters and hot, sticky summers. We live in a beautiful town.

My pet peeve is that family never comes to visit. They expect us to do all of the traveling in order to see them. Meanwhile, they go on lovely vacations elsewhere and tell us they have limited vacation time and can’t get to us. Well, so do we.

I can count on one hand the number of times we have had visitors, and every time it has been for a major event. To our families: Please come visit. You can stay with us, no hotel room needed. We live in a beautiful area.

Planes go both ways. Why should we do all the traveling? -- Getting It Off My Chest Dear Getting: People who move away from their hometown often find that they are expected to return for visits more often, simply because it is “home” and usually there are multiple relatives you can see at the same time. For those same relatives to visit you, it requires planning an individual vacation.

We agree that it is unfair, but it’s unlikely to change. Make sure your family members know that they are welcome and you’d love to see them. You can’t do more than that.

Dear Annie: This is for all of the grandparents who live near their children but don’t get to spend as much time with them as they’d like.

My son and daughter-in-law have three young children under the age of 5. I invite them to our home for a meal once a week and offer to bring a meal to their home once a week. This lightens their load and gives us time to visit. And I feel greatly appreciated and have become close to my grandchildren.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Quitting.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a better chance of getting their business if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

1-800-680-4264

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

~250-417-3373~

Mortgages

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

Mortgages

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in business, you have overhead and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.
