Kimberley Underground Mining Railway offers Community Appreciation Day C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
It is often the case that locals don’t take advantage of some of the tourist amenities offered in their own town. One of Kimberley’s most popular attractions is the Underground Mining Railway. The Railway is having a good season according to President Mick Henningson, with 7,700 riders to mid-August. That’s a little ahead of last year, he says, although the smoke in the last couple of weeks has seen attendance drop.
But skies appear clear again, and the Kimberley Underground Mining Railway hopes to entice some locals to come out and check out the train ride this First Saturday, September 5. The Railway will be running a special Community Appreciation day with special rides and special rates. Trains will be run every hour from the Downtown Station starting at 10 a.m. to and including 4 p.m. See Page 3 NICOLE KORAN PHOTO

Campfires allowed in SE New businesses abound in Kimberley A flurry of new Fire Centre business activity Smoky Skies Advisory lifted BULLETIN STAFF
Sure signs that local wildfire are coming control, and that wildfire season itself is winding down. Area restrictions for the Cherry Lake fire have been rescinded, the campfire ban has been rescinded, and the smoke advisory has been rescinded. Effective at noon on Monday, Aug. 31, campfires are once again permitted throughout the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. The South-
east Fire Centre rescinded its campfire prohibition due to cooler and wetter conditions in the forecast and a decreased wildfire risk in the region. The following activities are now allowed: • Campfires no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high. • An open fire in an outdoor stove. Small backyard burning piles (Category 2 open fires) remain prohibited within the Southeast Fire Centre. These prohibitions include: See Page 3

Kimberley has always offered a unique shopping experience, focused mainly on small business. But the look and feel of that shopping experience is changing. This past year has seen a multitude of new business — in the Platzl and down to Marysville — and these new businesses and ventures are tak-
ing Kimberley business in a new direction. From a skateboard manufacturer to a custom electronics business to a distillery, Kimberley’s business scene is thriving and changing. “It really has expanded way beyond the downtown core,” said Kimberley Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery. “And businesses are reporting good numbers this summer.” The City’s Economic Development Director, Kevin Wilson says that, more and more, Kimberley is being seen as a place that can offer a place to go
for a quality day out. “You can plan a day, get a haircut, go for a meal, take a bike ride,” he said. “The trend with the American dollar means more U.S. visitors and we are seeing lots of regional visitors. People from Alberta are staying closer to home too.” “The products our businesses are providing are really aimed at gathering and fun, especially the food and beverage businesses” Guarnery said. “But it’s not just retail. We have a new veterinary clinic among other services, though retail is certainly driving it,” Wilson said.
Here are just some of Kimberley’s new businesses.
NORTH STAR VETERINARIAN CLINIC
Scheduled for an early September opening, Dr. Kathryn Arbic will operate the veterinary service from the former Steeples Vet location on 550 Mark Street. Full-time veterinary services.
HEALING HOLLOW
Offering alternative and holistic health, aromatherapy and personal coaching, the Healing Hollow is back in Kimberley, opening their Platzl storefront last week.
TIMBER HITCH COFFEE
A new coffee shop in Marysville, located in the Rustic Hutch building. A great location for the morning commute.
BOHEMIAN SPIRITS
Bohemian Spirits is a new craft distillery recently started near Kimberley. The distillery is producing vodka and will soon release a gin. All products are small batch and hand-crafted with regionally sourced ingredients. The distillery is owned and operated by Kimberley locals Wade Jarvis and Erryn Turcon. See Page 3

Community Appreciation Day
From page 1 These trips will include a 7 kilometre return train ride up the scenic Mark Creek Valley and through the Underground Interpretive Centre. The trains will stop at the Powerhouse Station on the way back for a 20 minute tour of the historic Sullivan Mine Powerhouse. Visitors will see several huge compressors and watch the start up of the 65 foot long and 125 year old Rand Compressor. This will be followed by a look and discussion at the large Mine Model which shows a lot of the 300 miles of tunnel in the Sullivan Mine. As for the prices, you will not find a less expensive time to enjoy a ride on the Railway. Adults and youth can ride for $10, children, four to 12, for $5 and children three and under are free.
Campfire ban lifted From page 1 • The burning of any material in a pile larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high, up to two metres wide by three metres high. • The burning of stubble or grass in an area covering up to 0.2 hectares. • Fireworks, sky lanterns and burning barrels. • The use of binary exploding targets. • The use of air curtain burners (forced air burning systems). Category 3 open fires continue to be prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdictional area. These prohibitions cover all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department. However, the City of Kimberley has
also lifted its fire ban as well. Also on Monday, The Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Interior Health Authority, ended the Smoky Skies Advisory that was issued on August 24 for the Boundary and Kootenay areas. While some wildfires remain active, the weather system that is moving through the region, accompanied by rain and high winds, has reduced the amount of smoke and improved air quality. These conditions are expected to continue over the next few days. And on Monday, the public access restriction for the Caven, Wickman, Larch, Bloom and Teepee/Jim Creek Forest Service roads, in the vicinity of the Cherry Lake wild south of Cranbrook has been rescinded, effective immediately.

A dispenser of medicinal cannabinoid edibles and products, Tamarack Dispensaries opened their doors in Marysville in July. “We are also seeing existing businesses coming back, like Revolutions Acupuncture which is back in business,” Guarnery said. “There’s a new shoe store coming and the gym in the old Legion building (Gym 67) opens this week. Blarchmont has a solid business core with the addition of Britner’s Fish and Chips.” “There’s been a complete redesign of the Centex,” Wilson said. “It’s a different take on a convenience store with healthy snacks. And it has interesting meat products — grain fed, hormone free.” A lot of these are value-added, niche businesses, Wilson said, and

Local NEWS New station prepares to hit airwaves Arne Petryshen
Program a new slot in your AM/FM radio, because the region’s newest entrant Summit 107 will be up to full operation in a week or so. Melissa Hamm, general manager of Summit 107 said the preparations for the full launch are going great. “We’re in our testing period now, with just music, nothing live, for three weeks, just to get all the signals sorted out and make sure there aren’t any kinks in the system,” she said. “Then we’ll be going live at the end of the week of September the 8th.” That will include shows and news. The testing phase is mandated by Industry Canada as part of the process of setting up a radio station. Hamm said they have been getting great responses to the music, including a lot of phone calls. “We’ve been getting a lot of great feedback and we’re excited to be here,” she said. She described the music as Adult Contemporary. “It’s old stuff, new stuff,
softer rock — it’s kind of a niche that’s missing in the market right now,” she said. You can listen to the station right now at 107.5 in Cranbrook, 107.7 in Invermere, 107.9 in Fernie and 107.1 in Sparwood. Crews have also finished putting in all the equipment and transmitters on the mountaintops. “They’re all installed now and we’re just testing and should be good to go in a couple weeks,” she said. Bringing a new radio station into a region is a complicated endeavour, and Hamm said it is a massive undertaking.

Living Well
Mental illness, hope and the road to recovery JENNY GREEN
What does a semicolon tattoo, the phrase “To Write Love on Her Arms” and cycling all have in common? They are all social media movements dedicated to inspire and encourage discussion about mental illness, recovery and hope. At first glance, it is unclear how these three things connect to mental illness. The fact is, not many of us will take the time to understand these social media movements until we know why they matter. In any given year, one in five people in Canada will experience a mental health problem or illness, with a cost to the economy in excess of $50 billion. Only one in three people who experience a mental health problem will seek out and receive treatment. Of the approximately 4,000 Canadians who die every year as
a result of suicide, many were confronting a mental health problem or illness. I urge you to take a moment to read some of the personal stories being shared in connection with these movements. The stories of struggle, recovery and hope are uniting voices that often go unheard; messages like there’s no health without mental health and you are not alone resonate powerfully. Leveraging the conversation about reducing the stigma of mental illness can be simple yet inspiring. Project Semi-Colon uses a simple semicolon symbol to carry a powerful message – their website says that a semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to.

Malaysia: Najib in Trouble “T here’s no more rule of law,” said Mahathir Mohamad, the 90-year-old grandee who was prime minister of Malaysia for 22 years. “The only way for the people to get back to the old system is for them to remove this prime minister.” Mahathir has been openly criticising the current prime minister, Najib Razak, for the past year although they both belong to the same political party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). What made it special this time was that he said it at a two-day mass demonstration in the centre of Kuala Lumpur. Mass demonstrations are normally attacked and dispersed by the police in Malaysia despite its formally democratic system, but this time the police remained peaceful. There were the usual disputes about how many people were there, with the organisers claiming 300,000 and the police saying 20,000, but the important thing was that Mahathir showed up and gave it his support. There’s certainly good reason to demand Najib Razak’s resignation as prime minister. In July the Wall Street Journal published a report that $700 million had been transferred into his personal bank accounts in 2013 by the deeply indebted 1MDB state investment fund, which he created in 2009 shortly after becoming prime minister. He remains chairman of the fund’s board of advisers even today. At first Najib just denied it all. He fired his deputy prime minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, for criticising his handing of the affair, and also the attorney general, Abdul Gani Patail, who was leading the the investiga-
tion into the scandal. Then, when it became impossible to deny that the money had appeared in his accounts, his advisers began claiming that it had come not from 1MDB but as a “political donation” from unnamed Middle Eastern sources. Whether it was really looted from the 1MDB investment fund or just given to Najib by a “wealthy Arab family”, its purpose was clear. It was not to enrich Najib personally. It was to swing the outcome of the 2013 election, which Najib’s party was in danger Gwynne of losing. In a normal democracy, Dyer accepting the better part of a billion dollars from foreigners to win an election would be just as serious a crime as stealing it from a national investment fund, but Malaysia is not a normal democracy. It has been effectively a single-party state since independence in 1957, because the great majority of ethnic Malays vote for UMNO and its allies in order to retain their special privileges in the country. Malays, who are almost all Muslims, were the original population in most of the country and still account for 60 percent of its people. However, large-scale immigration by Chinese and Indians in the 19th century shifted the balance: Chinese Malaysians now account for about a quarter of the population, and people of Indian descent for around one-tenth. Moreover, it is the Chinese who dominate the country economically, a fact that led to the bloody race riots of 1969. Since then, Malays have enjoyed cheaper housing, priority in government jobs and business licenses, and in practice (though no longer in theory) better access to university courses, in order to help them catch up
economically with the Chinese and Indian populations. The policy has had some success: average household incomes have converged, with Malay families going from about 40 percent of Chinese family earnings in 1970 to around 70 percent in 2009. Most Malays nevertheless feel this institutionalised favouritism is still necessary, and vote UMNO to protect it – while a majority of Chinese and Indian Malaysians undoubtedly feel that half a century of extra privileges for Malays is enough. That’s why the great majority of protesters at last weekend’s demonstration in Kuala Lumpur were ethnically Chinese or Indian. Najib’s financial misdeeds provided a justification for the protest, and even many Malays want to see the back of Najib, but the Malays stayed away because they detect a deeper agenda in the protest movement. “What is 20,000 (demonstrators)? We can gather hundreds of thousands,” said Najib after the demonstration. “The rest of the Malaysian population is with the government.” Or at least most Malays are, especially in rural areas, and that’s probably enough for him to ride out this crisis unless Malaysia’s economic situation worsens. The Malaysian economy has slowed down dramatically since Chinese demand for imports and the price of oil both began to collapse. Malaysia’s currency, the ringgit, is in free-fall. If it gets bad enough, Najib will have to go. Whatever the injustices involved, it’s probably better for everybody that the ethnic can of worms stays firmly closed for a while yet, so UMNO should be thinking hard about a successor who will be acceptable to everybody.

From foes to friends
River Beattie and Mario Grman haven’t always been on good terms, but this season that’s changed Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Oh how quickly foes can become friends. Okay, so maybe ‘friends’ is a strong word at this point, but River Beattie and Mario Grman are working on it as the Kootenay Ice progress through training camp this week. Despite their past differences on the ice, one thing is certain -Beattie and Grman are more similar than you might imagine. But first, let’s flip the calendar back to March 6, 2015. Beattie, a 17-year-old rookie forward with the Kootenay Ice skates across the red line at Western Financial Place and catches Jeff de Wit -- an unsuspecting Red Deer Rebels forward -with his head down. Maybe Beattie gets his elbow up, maybe he catches de Wit on the chin. But we aren’t here to debate the check. From out of nowhere, a 17-year-old rookie Slovakian by the name of Mario Grman confronts Beattie and as quickly as de Wit hit the floor, the gloves were off as the two WHL freshmen scrapped it out. Grman’s recounting of the tilt is simple and straight to the point. “I ask him about fight and he went,” Grman said with a chuckle. Beattie offered up a little more. “We had a little scrap last year and it was good for us,” Beattie said with a grin Tuesday afternoon. “Good on him for stepping up for his teammate. “Him and I have gotten along quite a bit in camp so far. It’s good.” Skip ahead to the CHL Import Draft. After being released

Trio of top prospects missing from Kootenay Ice training camp Taylor Rocc a
Taylor Rocca Photo
Defenceman Mario Grman skates with the puck during scrimmage action Tuesday evening at Western Financial Place. Kootenay Ice training camp carries on Wednesday at 9 a.m. by the Rebels, Grman is selected by the Ice with the 95th overall pick in the second round of the annual international stock up. Suddenly, Beattie and Grman are on a crash course once again -- but this time for a completely different reason. Now flip your calendar back to September 2015. Tuesday is the second day of Kootenay Ice training camp and as veterans players are mixed in with the prospects, Beattie and Grman find themselves donning the same white sweaters ahead of scrimmages. “I love having guys on my team that will be there for me if something happens,” Beattie said, referring to Grman. “I’ll do the same for them.”
Perhaps it was by design, perhaps it was pure coincidence that both landed on Team White. Either way, Beattie and Grman have settled their differences and are looking forward to skating together, both with Team White throughout training camp and with the Kootenay Ice, assuming both stick around Cranbrook full-time. “I talk with him about this,” Grman said of the fight with Beattie. “But everything is okay now. We are teammates.” While the two come from vastly different places nearly 8,000 kilometres apart -- Beattie a native of Sherwood Park, Alta., and Grman hailing from Topolcany, Slovakia -- they both bring a remarkably similar approach to the game. Beattie turns 18 on Halloween, and heading into his second WHL
campaign in Cranbrook, he’s looking forward to the opportunity to take on a bigger role. “Coming in as a vet, you kind of know what to expect,” Beattie said. “You’re expected to perform and show the rookies what needs to be done and where we’re going to go this season. “We’re definitely going to have to achieve through committee. Everyone needs to perform and everyone’s got to be there. I hope I can help lead with some points and be a big, physical presence out there.” Beattie registered nine points alongside 41 penalty minutes in his first WHL campaign. Grman turned 18 back in April after skating in 35 games with the Rebels. After being in and out of the lineup in Red Deer, the 6-foot-1, 187-pound defenceman
is also ready to take on a bigger role this season. “I got some experience from older guys, [NHL] drafted players [in Red Deer],” Grman said. “[Rebels coach] Brent Sutter is a very good person and very good coach. “I want to play more than last year. This is my biggest challenge. And be helpful for team. That’s it.” The gritty Grman has yet to score a WHL goal, but registered three assists in his first season in North America. He put up 43 penalty minutes and prioritizes the rougher side of hockey. “I like physical game, I like big hits and hard play,” Grman said. Kootenay Ice training camp continues Wednesday morning at Western Financial Place, with scrimmages set for 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Avalanche volleyball returns with intrasquad games Taylor Rocc a
Volleyball season is back at College of the Rockies as the men’s and women’s Avalanche squads prepare for the 2015-16 PACWEST season. Both clubs are set to offer fans a firstchance look at the two squads Wednesday afternoon with a pair of intrasquad games. Free to the public, the women’s intrasquad game is set for 4 p.m. with the
men’s contest to follow at 6 p.m. John Swanson spent the 2014-15 campaign as an assistant coach for both the men’s and ladies’ outfits. In 2015, he takes over head-coaching duties for both teams. “We have a great group of players coming back after finishing the best in [College of the Rockies] history,” Swanson said of the Lady Avs. “We know other teams in the conference will not underestimate us this season.”
The Lady Avs have nine returning players and four new recruits. For the men, 10 new recruits are set to suit up, with only four returners from last season’s team. “The four returning vets will be counted on to quickly assist our new recruits on the expectations of PACWEST,” Swanson said on the men’s team. “We have been fortunate however to be able to bring in a tremendous recruiting class.”
While all the focus was on those in attendance at Kootenay Ice training camp, a selection of top prospects were nowhere to be seen on opening day at Western Financial Place. Defenceman Griffin Mendel (1999), goaltender Jakob Walter (1999) and forward Keenan Taphorn (2000), represent the top three selections from the previous two WHL Bantam Drafts for the Kootenay Ice. All three were noticeably missing from Monday’s festivities. “At this point, I definitely wish they were here playing against some of the best players because they are some of the best players out there,” said Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting for the Kootenay Ice. “Obviously we’re going to keep working on trying to get them all here at some point. “They would definitely be a big part of our organization moving forward. You just talked about three very young, important pieces. You put three people into your roster in their prime years and they become impact players.” Mendel, a first-round pick (11th overall) at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, committed to the Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) back in May. His absence comes as no surprise. For Walter, the situation appears much the same. The 16-year-old Langley native was drafted next in line after Mendel in 2014 (second round, 33rd). Though he committed to the Campbell River Storm of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and was expected to also attend training camp with the Nanaimo Clippers of the BCHL, Kazuik and the Ice believed Walter was going to make an appearance in Cranbrook before settling in elsewhere. “We were left to the understanding he was going to be here,” Kazuik said. “There was a little bit of miscommunica-
tion from the family to the player representative to myself. All three of us were accountable for all of it. “[Jakob] just wants to be where he’s going to be able to play. He knows he probably wasn’t going to be able to make this hockey team this year. “He’s just trying to put his best forward and we’re okay with that. As long as he gets to play and he’s developing, that’s great.” According to Kazuik, Walter has indicated “absolutely” that he wants to play in the WHL, which is an encouraging sign for an organization that will be in need of goaltending depth once 20-year-old Wyatt Hoflin ages out following the 2015-16 campaign. With Taphorn, the circumstance is more complicated. The Yorkton, Sask., native was the top pick for the Ice at the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, going in the second round, 34th overall. Twin brother Kaeden was selected in the third round, 47th overall, by the Vancouver Giants. While Keenan did not report to Ice camp in Cranbrook, it has also been reported that brother Kaeden did not report to Giants camp across the province. According to Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, the Taphorn family wants to see the brothers together with the same organization. Until then, the twins are set to play Midget ‘AAA’ in Yorkton this coming season. What transpires from there remains to be seen. Kootenay Ice training camp carries on at Western Financial Place Wednesday with scrimmages getting underway at 9 a.m.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your determination emerges. You’ll dive into an issue, professionally or personally, that could have ramifications involved. An idea that has been hovering in your mind just might work. You’ll want to make sure everything goes as you would like it to. Tonight: Tell it like it is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You don’t have to agree with the group, but it would be wise to keep your thoughts to yourself at this point. Others come to you for creative brainstorming. At that point, you might be able to offer your suggestions. Tonight: You smile, and others come toward you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will attract more of what you want if you can look at a situation and decide how reasonable it is to continue on your present path. Make no decisions just yet. Given a few days, you will know exactly what to do. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Honor a fast change.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You gain a different perspective when surrounded by others. However, some of you might decide to argue each point being presented. If you feel your perspective is that important, then the differences between you and others are worth looking at. Tonight: Hang out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t get too set in your ways. Stubbornness does nothing to improve a difficult situation. In fact, power plays need to be avoided right now. Try not to get into the details of a disagreement, especially if you can stay out of the matter altogether. Tonight: Pace yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Lady Luck will be with you, as long as you don’t decide to do anything too far-out. Your smile will express confidence and could take you a long way. Brainstorm your way through a problem. Once you gain a better perspective, you’ll come up with a solution. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be on your way to
Tundra
taking a grand leap into the unknown, but you might not even realize it. Note whether you are an emotional thinker. If you see that tendency, be more aware of your feelings, but opt for logic. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination gives you the ability to move forward and make strong decisions. Others see the role your intuitive side plays in your life. Many of them would like to access that same side themselves. Help them do just that. Tonight: Defer to a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Actions count. Do what you must, but also clear out errands and calls that you have been postponing. Tap into your resourcefulness once you complete these tasks. Spend time with a close friend, even if it is on the phone. Tonight: Make sure you are getting enough exercise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to a child or new friend. A quality about this per-
son makes you laugh and relax, and his or her presence in your life remains positive. As a result, you will gain a new perspective. Open up to a more spontaneous way of living. Tonight: Be more childlike. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Remain content, even if a situation around your personal life is not going well or as you would like it to. You can’t have control over this matter, because one or more people are involved. No one has the right to control someone else. Tonight: At home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Speak your mind, and remain sure of yourself. You could be challenged by others. You will want to respond to questions positively, as this will help you to re-examine your ideas. You’ll want to make sure your position is as strong as possible. Tonight: Hang with a friend.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: After 14 years of marriage, my husband, “Ron,” left me for another woman. Here’s how it happened: For several years, friends had dinner with us once a week. One day, they brought along “Fran,” a recently widowed woman they took under their wing. Ron initially told me he found her vulgar, overweight, unattractive and heavily tattooed. Fran talked nonstop about herself, bragging about her time in a biker club where she enjoyed “getting wasted on drugs and having random sex,” a lifestyle she wanted to get back into. Within weeks, Ron changed his tune about Fran. He decided she was “cool,” and he, too, wanted a life that included drugs and random sex. He and Fran began to text and call each other daily, often right in front of me. Ron began to find fault with everything I said or did, and criticized me to others. He even assaulted me physically and then stopped speaking to me for months. Finally, he left and moved in with Fran. Annie, I did everything for Ron. I helped support us with my full-time job while doing all the cooking and cleaning. Our sex life was great. I kept myself slim and attractive. Nearly a year after Ron left, he begged me for forgiveness, and I agreed to let him come home provided he got into anger management counseling. I also told him if he ever assaulted me verbally or physically again, I would terminate the marriage. With counseling, Ron became a different man, loving and supportive, and very apologetic. But to this day, he has been unable to tell me what he found so provocative about Fran, a woman he now says he abhors. Why would a man leave a loving relationship for one that is so destructive? If any of the men in your reading audience have done this, could they tell me why? And were they happy? -- Waiting for Answers Dear Waiting: We don’t believe Fran was the attraction. We think it was the promise of her lifestyle that he found fascinating, exciting and freeing. But it turned out to be something much less appealing in practice. We are glad Ron has become a better husband, and if our readers have more to say, we’ll be happy to print it. Dear Annie: What a kind gesture “Heartbroken Brother-in-Law” did by ordering vases of his wife’s ashes to be given to his wife’s sisters. It’s a shame they thought it was in poor taste and now the relationship is damaged. When my sister died a few years ago, we didn’t know this was an option. Her son took the urn back to his home state. He didn’t do this selfishly, of course, but all of us who loved her would have been so grateful to have had that remembrance. Please tell “Heartbroken” that he was indeed thoughtful and kind. -- Louisville, Ky Dear Louisville: Several readers suggested the sisters may have had religious reasons to reject the cremains, but we think a brother-in-law of 60 years would know whether this was the case. We hope their relationship has been repaired. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

DRIVE SAFELY Don’t Drink and Drive
ICBC warns Labour Day long weekend is one of the most dangerous on B.C. roads Are you SURE you know your limit?
Don’t drink and drive.
601 Industrial Road #1 Cranbrook • 250-489-3407
Every year over the Labour Day long weekend, an average of four people are killed and 560 injured in 1,900 crashes across the province.* Driver distractions, speed and impaired driving are the top contributing factors in Labour Day long weekend casualty crashes.**
As many of us are planning one last summer road trip this long weekend, ICBC is urging drivers to be well prepared and leave plenty of time to get to your destination to avoid rushing and the temptation to drive aggressively. In a recent ICBC survey, 25 per cent of respondents’ main safety concern on a
road trip was other drivers being aggressive, followed by traffic (18 per cent), road conditions (14 per cent), getting into a crash (10 per cent) and speeding drivers (8 per cent). Tips: Pre-trip check: Make sure any camping or outdoor equipment is securely tied
down to your vehicle before you take off. Check your engine oil, coolant levels and lights, and inspect your vehicle tires, including the spare, to make sure they’re in good condition and properly inflated. Pack an emergency kit. 70 per cent of those surveyed keep an emergency kit in their vehicle. Follow

their lead and pack yours with essentials such as food and water, a flashlight, first aid kit, booster cable and emergency signal cone.
Assign a designated texter: If you need to keep in touch with family or friends during the drive, ask your passengers to make or receive calls and texts for you. If you have to take a call, pull over when it’s safe to do so or use your phone in hands-free mode. If you know someone is behind the wheel, avoid texting, calling or answering to help keep them safe.
RVs: You’ll likely spot many recreational vehicles on the highways this weekend. If you’re driving in mountainous areas, you may find that many RV’s are driving below the speed limit because they may be underpowered and overloaded. Be patient with these drivers as they are likely going uphill as fast as they can. If you’re driving your RV this weekend, be courteous and pull over to let others by if you’re holding up traffic. This is much safer than a driver making an unsafe pass out of frustration.
Stay alert: 61 per cent of survey respondents said they feel tired at least sometimes when driving long distances. Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated and take rest breaks every 1.5 to 2 hours to avoid driver fatigue. Fatigue slows your reaction time and even a slight decrease in reaction time can greatly increase your risk of crashing especially when travelling at highway speeds.
Keep your distance: Allow at least two seconds of following distance in good conditions, and at least three seconds on high-speed roads or if you’re behind a motorcycle since it has a much shorter stopping distance.
