Ktunaxa makes case to Supreme Court of Canada T R E VO R C R AW L E Y
The Supreme Court of Canada heard a legal challenge from the Ktunaxa Nation on Thursday in an effort to reaffirm their Charter right of religious freedom over disputed land that carries significant spiritual importance. A long-running dispute between the Ktunaxa and the provincial government has gone to the highest court in the land, as the First Nations group takes issue with government approval of a ski resort in Jumbo Valley. The area includes Toby-Jumbo Watershed, the South Fork Glacier Creek, Horsethief Creek and Farnham Creeks. The Ktunaxa argue that the approval of the resort, on land that known as Qat’muk and is the home to the Grizzly Bear spirit, infringes on their right to freedom of religion. Both the B.C. Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal sided with the provincial government in previous rulings.

Trial shines light on secretive community TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The trial for a trio of Bountiful members facing alleged child trafficking charges has been adjourned until closing arguments begin in Cranbrook Supreme Court on Monday. The Crown’s case in front of Justice Paul Pearlman concluded on Tuesday, with the accused choosing not to
mount a defence. James Oler, Brandon Blackmore and Emily Blackmore are charged with alleged removal of child from Canada, under a criminal code subsection that their removal would facilitate sexual interference or invitation to sexual touching. At the heart of the trial are two children who were
removed from the polygamous Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint (FLDS) community of Bountiful, one hour west of Cranbrook near Creston, and married to men in the United States. The marriages of the girls, who were 13- and 15-years-old at the time, occurred in 2004. Their ages
are confirmed by birth certificates — their identities are protected by a publication ban. According to priesthood records seized by police during a raid on an FLDS compound in Texas, the 13-year-old girl was married to Warren Jeffs, the leader and prophet of the FLDS, on March 1, 2004, as one of
seven marriages conducted that day. The record lists Brandon Blackmore as a witness. The second child, 15, was married to James Leroy Johnson on June 25, 2004, in one of 18 weddings that day, with the record listing James Oler as one of the witnesses.

The Dramatic Life
Elf Junior: singing loud for all to hear Parkland Middle School musical production opens next week at Key City Theatre Chloe Van Hesteren and Robby Beaul ac
This year Parkland Middle School is back at it again with another fun and entertaining theatrical production. They will be performing a festive musical that’s sure to leave you in the Christmas spirit. You are invited to come and enjoy a production of “Elf Jr. the Musical.” This play is based on the hit Christmas movie “Elf.” This version of the show was written by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martins with music by Matthew Skylar and lyrics by Chad Beguelin. Parkland’s production is being directed by Frank Hackett and choreographed by Lisa Aasebo. “Elf Jr. The Musical” introduces you to Buddy, played by Tanner Wasylowich. During the last few months, Tanner has been trying super hard to identify with his character and really get into the spirit of Buddy. Some frustration that Tanner has had is keeping up with the energy he needs to play this part. Tanner mentioned that this play has been a struggle and an emotional journey for him. However, he has grown into his role and is stoked to perform next week for a live audience. For that matter, the entire cast is bursting with anticipation regarding the upcoming show.
While the cast is in the process of striving to put in 100% effort at rehearsals, there are still some trials and tribulations that need to be addressed. There have been many ups and downs during this time. Strong bonds have been created between all the actors and they have been there for each other through laughter and frustrations. Remembering lines and choreography in order to keep the flow of a practice moving along hasn’t always been easy. The cast and crew consists of about 40 students, all rearranging their schedules to meet the needs of long and intense rehearsals. In the end, they are all excited about how things have come together and can’t wait to get out onto the stage. As Chloe Van Hesteren (who plays Jovie) says, “Any time spent in the drama room is time well spent!” “Elf Jr. the Musical” runs at the Key City Theatre on Friday, Dec. 9, and Saturday, Dec. 10, at 7 pm, and Sunday, Dec. 11, at 3 pm. Tickets are available at Key City Theatre, on line at www.keycitytheatre.com, or by calling 250-426-7006. Tickets are $20 for adults, $17 for students and seniors. Come out, sing along, and join in the fun! As Buddy the Elf says, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!”

Refugee family adjusts to a different world C AROLYN GR ANT
The Kimberley Refugee Resettlement Group welcomed Chaudhry Hasham and his family to town this past September. Since that time, Hasham, wife Rabia Anwar, and children Chaudhry Ibtsam, 8, Breerah Hasham, 6 and Chaudhry Hashir, 5 have been getting used to their new home. And the children are anxiously waiting for enough snow so they can learn to ski. It is a big adjustment in many ways. The climate is very different from Bangkok, Thailand, where they spent four years as refugees, and from their home in Pakistan. This will be their first experience
with winter. The verdict? Very enjoyable so far. “I will learn to ski,” said Hasham. “The whole family will.” It’s also a big adjustment to live in such a small town after spending their entire lives in cities of 10 million or more. “We have to adapt to everything,” Chaudhry Hasham said. “Some things are easy, some ... I don’t want to say hard. Hard is a hard word. “No one can say their problems are 100 per cent solved, but more are being solved every day. It’s wonderful.” The best news of all for the family came this week as Chaudhry Hasham, who is trained as

He has joined other citizens of Kimberley in hoping for just a little more snow so the ski hill can open as scheduled.
KRRG is also trying to arrange for a car for the family to make the commute to work easier. Not only will it help with the job, says Hasham, but it will also give the family more independence, not having to rely
Chamber Turkey Drive kicks off next week TRE VOR CR AWLEY
The annual Chamber of Commerce Turkey Drive is set for next Thursday, Dec. 8. The fundraising event benefits the Salvation Army and the Cranbrook Food Bank, which prepare Christmas hampers of food for local families in need. The Turkey Drive began seven years ago and has raised over $170,000 since then. From humble beginnings, the Turkey Drive began when a local agency put out a call to help the hamper pro-
gram, with Chamber staff and members leaping into action and providing the necessary funds in only four hours. The Chamber of Commerce has put together a team of 12 celebrity pledgers, dubbed the “little pluckers”, to head up this year’s Turkey Drive. They represent all sectors of the business community and will be working their contact lists to solicit donations. You can donate anytime in advance of the event or on the day of Dec. 8.

EYE ON YOUR CITY
Snow Removal – Each winter the Operations Department has the responsibility of maintaining approximately 100 kms of paved and gravel streets, including lanes, within the City of Kimberley. We endeavour to accomplish this task in the most cost effective manner possible while still maintaining a high level of service and safety to the public. Please remember that snow and ice control is not a substitute for caution and defensive driving practices when operating a vehicle under winter conditions. Sanding and plowing priorities are based on volumes of traffic and steepness of terrain. City streets are generally categorized into three groups: 1. Main streets and emergency access routes with hills. 2. Other main or collector streets. 3. Local and residential streets. The main streets and hills are completed first. This ensures that traffic can access such facilities as the schools, special care facilities, the central business area, and the ski hill area. Next completed are collector streets, which may not have steep terrain but do have heavy volumes of traffic and include Rotary Drive, Knighton Road, and Jim Ogilvie Way. Residential streets are then attended to. During weekends and statutory holidays, the City generally services only the high priority streets. For more information and a list of frequently asked questions please refer to the City’s website, Snow Removal and FAQs section at http://www.kimberley.ca/services/snowremoval-information-faqs or call the Operations Department at 250.427.9660. Frozen Water Line Prevention - - If the water service line to your home has ever frozen or you have noticed a reduced water flow in your home during the winter, leave one tap running cold water day and night (stream should be the size of a pencil). This will help to prevent your lines from freezing. Since frost sinks deeper into the ground when air temperatures rise after a period of extreme cold, you will need to keep the water running 24/7 until mid-April to avoid having the line freeze. The City encourages residents who have experienced frozen water service lines in the past to be pro-active by ensuring indoor lines are properly insulated, keeping a good snow cover over the ground above the service lines and installing a bleeder line system. For more information please visit http://www.kimberley.ca/services/seasonalcity-operations#Preventing Frozen Water Service Lines.

work eventually, once the family is more settled. The two oldest kids are in school and settling in very well. The oldest boy, Ibtsam, is very fluent in English, Dad says, and his teachers tell him that he is reading and writing well. Breerah Hasham is a little less fluent than her brother but picking the language up well. Both students have been working hard at home, with their parents help, to be up to speed. As for five-year old Chaudhry Hashir, he’s a talker. “The little one speaks a mixture of languages and he changes his accent every time he
meets someone new,” Dad says with a laugh. So the family is settling in to life in Kimberley and the Kootenays. For all the little challenges, the community has been welcoming, says Hasham. And most importantly, they are feeling safe. “We spent four years in Thailand as urban refugees,” he said. “All the time, we lived in fear of arrest. I wasn’t allowed officially to work, or to take a conveyance (bus or taxi). People are dying there. They still are. “We are in very good hands. KRRG is working very hard with us. We are feeling no more loneliness.”

Trial sheds light on FLDS life CONTINUED from page 1 In his opening statement, Crown counsel Peter Wilson, a special prosecutor appointed by the B.C. government, admitted the case will be challenging for the judge to consider, given that the indictment deals with unusual and rarely pursued charges with ‘no area in jurisprudence that has similar cases.’ The Warren Jeffs connection Witness testimony from former FLDS members throughout the trial has shed light on what life was like — especially for women —
while growing up in Bountiful. From a family structure point of view, children and wives are instructed to obey the priesthood head — the paternal figure of the family. The men are taught to unflinchingly follow the instructions of the prophet, the FLDS leader, who they believe receive divine revelations from the Lord. Women are instructed to dress conservatively, while wearing their hair in a manner approved by the priesthood head, all while living a creed to ‘keep

sweet’ and be happy, without giving rise to anger or emotional outbursts. Witnesses also testified that the FLDS doctrine of plural marriage — polygamy — is necessary to achieve the highest glory in Heaven and that the role of married women is to bear children, which are inhabited by celestial spirits at conception. Warren Jeffs, the leader of the FLDS, is currently serving a life prison sentence delivered in a Texas courtroom following his conviction on two counts of sexual assault of a child. He was previously convicted of similar charges and sentenced to 10 years to life in Utah; however, that conviction was overturned in 2010. Former members of the FLDS say Jeffs had at least 70 wives. Jeffs took over leadership of the FLDS in 2002, following the death of his father, Rulon, who had previously headed up the fundamentalist organization. That had a direct im-

After Rulon died, a power struggle emerged between Warren Jeffs and Winston Blackmore, who were both vying for the FLDS leadership. Witnesses testified that families were torn apart as the community divided to stand behind their preferred
candidate. Warren Jeffs eventually took over the FLDS leadership and promptly excommunicated Winston Blackmore, installing James Oler as bishop of the Bountiful community. To this day, Bountiful remains divided, with rival factions urged not to communicate with each other.

Ktunaxa take Qat’muk fight to Supreme Court “Qat’muk has existed long before any ski resort proposal and long before Canada was a country,” said Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair. “As a Nation, we have spent too much money fighting in the court system to prove what we have always known. Qat’muk is vital to Ktunaxa as well as local wildlife populations and biodiversity and must be protected.” For Ktunaxa, the Grizzly Bear Spirit is a unique and indispensable source of collective as well as individual guidance, strength, and protection, and a necessary part of many Ktunaxa spiritual practices and beliefs. Qat’muk’s spiritual importance is deeply connected to its biological significance for living grizzly bears now and in the future. “We believe that both the Charter of
Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution Act provide us with the right to freely practice our traditions,” said Teneese. “It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the British Columbia Court of Appeal failed to recognize this, but we are confident the Supreme Court of Canada will uphold the rights of all Canadians to practice their religions and traditions free from interference and the threat of destruction of sacred places.” Robyn Duncan, executive director of Wildsight, called Thursday’s hearing a significant day for the Ktunaxa Nation and Kootenay residents who oppose the proposed ski resort. “Wildsight celebrates the rich history of the Ktunaxa Nation and their 10,000 years of stewardship,” Duncan said.

Pipeline approval ‘extremely disappointing,’ Stetski says TRE VOR CR AWLEY
The reaction to the Liberal government’s approval of two pipelines has been swift. Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson came out swinging against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline on Tuesday, which will run from Edmonton down to the city’s port. B.C. Premier Christy Clark’s reaction was non-committal, noting that five conditions must be met before the provincial government supports the project. The Trans Mountain pipeline will cross Alberta west from Edmonton to Jasper, until turning south just north of Valemount. The 1,150-kilometre route continues south through Clearwater, Kamloops, Merritt and Hope, before snaking through the Lower Mainland for tanker ship access in Vancouver. The pipeline is not proposed to route through the Kootenay-Columbia region, however, MP Wayne Stetski called the an-
nouncement ‘extremely disappointing.’ “During the election, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal candidates all promised there would be a new stronger, more credible environmental assessment process,” said Stetski, “and more consultation with First Nations and communities before any of the pipeline proposals would move forward and that has not happened. “Basically he used the same set of rules that Stephen Harper used to approve the pipeline and because of that, it really feels like he’s broken a promise particularly to British Columbians, but to Canadians as well.”
Wayne Stetski In addition to the approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, the Liberals rubber-stamped the Line 3 project, a 1,659-kilometre pipeline that will run from Edmonton east across the Prairies and south into the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Northern Gateway, a

proposed pipeline from north of Edmonton to the port of Kitimat, was officially nixed following a Federal Court ruling in June that overturned an approval from the former Conservative government two years ago. Stetski said he expects Liberal MPs in British Columbia will face some blowback for their government’s approval of the Trans
Mountain project. He also referenced the public opposition that galvanized over logging in Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island in the 1980s and 1990s, noting that the coastal wilderness is one of the reasons for tourism booms in places like Tofino. “The economies of places like Tofino in particular, as have many First Nations, have ben-
efited from that result,” said Stetski, “and just talking with my colleagues, particularly from Vancouver area, this is going to — some would suggest — be even louder and stronger than that protest around Clayoquot Sound. “There have already been rallies down on the coast and as far as Winnipeg even, so it’s unfor-
tunate because it’s basically a betrayal of election promises and a betrayal of the trust that many in British Columbia put in the Liberal government to do the right thing.” While the pipelines have federal approval, that won’t stop environmental groups or First Nations communities from launching court challenges.
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CLOSE A PORTION OF LANE AND SELL CITY LANDS The City of Kimberley hereby gives notice, pursuant to Section 40 and 94 of the Community Charter, of its intention to adopt Highway Closure and Dedication Removal Bylaw No. 2568 to permanently close to traffic that 412 m2 portion of lane adjacent to 1545 Warren Avenue shown as “LANE TO BE CLOSED” in heavy outline on the map below and described as part of lane dedicated on Plan 1592, District Lot 3706, Kootenay District in Kimberley and shown on a reference plan (drawing # SDLG01-R00) prepared by Tracey Peet, British Columbia Land Surveyor 936.

Even Newt Gingrich tweeted about it. So did Marco Rubio. Two prominent names in the America right wing. Canada always likes to get noticed, but maybe not this kind of notice. However, the Americans weighing in on this might want to take a brief moment to consider the budding bromance between their President-elect Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin before they get any more indignant about #Trudeaueulogy. Putin is not by any definition a champion of human rights nor is he in any way tolerant of dissidents. Trump has, in the past, called Putin “intelligent” and “no nonsense”. “I think I’d get along very well with Vladimir Putin. I just think so,” Trump said in 2015. “It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond,” Trump said after Putin had complimentary things to say about him later that year. That’s a bromance folks. That’s admiration for a dictator. Seems to be going around. Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Bulletin

Opinion/Events
World AIDS Day: Vigil for Action
I
was privileged to stand with a number of people last night as we marked World AIDS Day at Balment Park. Every year, we remember, pray, reflect, and heed a call to action. Let me tell you about an Anglican priest in Uganda, Rev. Gideon Byamugisha. Like other priests, he goes about his pastoral and priestly duties. Being a priest in the poorer parts of Africa involves a great deal of travelling, much of it on foot to far–flung congregations, leading the people in worship and offering pastoral care. A large part of a priest’s work is to help the people with down–to–earth matters … such as providing clean water or shelter. In 1992, Rev. Gideon (as he is widely known) discovered that he was HIV–positive. He is one of an estimated 34 million people living with HIV/AIDS. In a tragic series of events, he learned that he had HIV weeks after the sudden, unexpected death of his 25–year–old wife. He doesn’t know how he became infected. He suspects that it may have been as a result of a blood transfusion. He made the information about his HIV– positive status public almost immediately. It was a hard decision for him to make because it made him vulnerable. People at that time associated HIV with immorality, prostitution, drug addiction. In an interview given a few years ago, Rev. Gideon says, “I am very careful when I am giving my testimony, not to give the impression that I got the infection only through that (blood transfusion) because it could also have happened through sexual intercourse. I did not take an HIV test at marriage; anything could have happened then. I also have had many injections for malaria and those injections were at a time when sterilization was not really practiced,
so the injections could have been a factor.” Despite the public stigma of this disease, it remains an important witness for Rev. Gideon to make. In speaking candidly of his own experience, he gives comfort and encouragement to others afflicted with this disease. To have the disease is bad enough. But those afflicted with this disease must also face discrimination. He also speaks honestly to the church, which has often been among the most reluctant to help those affected by the disease. As he says, there are two kinds of clergy in Africa. “There are church leaders that use AIDS to conRev. Yme trol their congregations and Woensdregt there are those that use their congregations to control AIDS.” In Africa, an entire generation has been wiped out by AIDS. It is estimated that in sub–Saharan Africa, 40–60 per cent of the estimated 13 million AIDS orphans are being raised by their grandmothers. After having raised their own children, these elderly women struggle to care for young children on meager incomes, often with little or no support. Stephen Lewis, the former UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, called Africa’s grandmothers “the unsung heroes of the continent”. It was estimated that 75,500 Canadians were living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 2014. About 2,500 new cases are reported each year. We are becoming more and more aware, not only of how HIV/IDS affects people, but also about its social costs. Like Rev. Gideon, it’s time for us to begin showing our solidarity with all those who suffer from HIV/AIDS. It affects us all. There is no cure and no vaccine. There are walks to raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS research all over the world. The first such walk in Canada took
place in Vancouver in 1986. I’m proud to live in Cranbrook, which also has such a walk in early September. But we need to work harder to raise awareness and compassion. World AIDS Day is held on December 1st each year. It is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. We show support and solidarity will the millions of people living with HIV/AIDS. Although World AIDS Day is a great opportunity to talk about HIV/AIDS, it is important to keep the momentum going all year round. We are blessed in the Kootenays to have an organization such as ANKORS. Their mission is “to respond to the evolving needs of those living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. ANKORS Services and programs will be modeled on the principles of Harm Reduction, and will provide support, advocacy, prevention, education information, and volunteer networking opportunities in partnership with community stakeholders.” Many people have been touched by HIV/AIDS in one way or another. It’s time to show our solidarity with those affected by it, and work together with compassion and grace to find a cure. Just as importantly, it is time to erase the stigma of this disease. It is not a divine punishment for sexual immorality. It is not God’s punishment on our society. It is a terrible disease, and the last thing we need to do is add to the burden of those who are already burdened enough. Last night, IRUN remembered TIL END OF and APRILhonoured - STOP FOR friends who have died. I remembered how SUMMER - THEN RESTART SEPT.6TH AIDS has ravaged Africa. I prayed with those who face the struggle of living with AIDS day to day. I blessed those who live and work with disease. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook
Meanwhile in Italy: ‘Io Dico No’
“T
oday saying No is the most beautiful and glorious form of politics …Whoever doesn’t understand that can go screw themselves.” It could have been Donald Trump before the US election two weeks ago, or Boris Johnson during the Brexit campaign in Britain last June, but it was actually Beppe Grillo, founder and leader of Italy’s populist Five Star Movement. Grillo unhesitatingly compares his movement to “Trumpismo” in the United States, and the Five Star Movement (M5S) is currently running neck-andneck with Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s Democratic Party in the opinion polls. Moreover, if Renzi loses the referendum on changing the Italian constitution that takes place this Sunday, there may be an election in Italy quite soon. Matteo Renzi wanted to replace the elected Senate with a smaller appointed body and make other changes to streamline the process of passing laws in Italy. He got his proposal through both houses of parliament last April — but with such a slim majority that the results had to be confirmed by a referendum. At the time Renzi was confident that he would win it easily. But that was before the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom and the irresistible rise of Donald Trump in the United States put wind in the sails of the Five Star Movement. Now the M5S’s “Io Dico No” (I Say No)
campaign is drawing huge crowds as it tours Italian cities, and the final opinion polls before the vote on December 4th gave the “No” a five-point lead in the referendum. As the polls began to turn against his constitutional reforms, Renzi warned that he would resign if the vote went against them. But all that did was to turn it into a referendum on his own popularity, which is turning out to be considerably less than he imagGwynne ined. And if M5S comes to power, it is pledged to hold Dyer another referendum – this time on pulling Italy out of the euro “single currency”. At the moment a large majority of Italians still want to keep the euro, but that could change. Italian cities don’t look as devastated as the US Rust Belt, but the same processes that brought Donald Trump to the presidency have been at work in Italy. Average family income is still less that it was before the 2008 crash, and unemployment among the young is close to 40 per cent. An estimated quarter of Italian industry has closed down in the past decade, and the country is staggering under the burden of a public debt that amounts to 132 percent of GDP. If uncertainty about the euro crashes Italy’s economy (the third-largest economy in the Eurozone), then all 19 countries that use the euro, some 340 million people, are in deep trouble.
In theory, it’s a long road from a “No” in Sunday’s constitutional referendum to an M5S government and a referendum on the euro. If Renzi resigns, and if no other combination of parties in parliament can form a government (probably not), there would be an election. But then M5S would have to win a majority, which is a long way from its current 30 percent support. In practice, it might be quite a short road. A lot of Italians are so angry that they just want to punish “the elites”. If both M5S and the right-wing Lega Nord (which also wants to quit the euro) did well in the election, they might be able to form a coalition government, and then the fat would be in the fire. Technically, only the single currency would be at risk, but in the current febrile atmosphere in Western politics, with support for populist parties surging everywhere, things can change very rapidly. It is no longer inconceivable that the National Front, which wants to leave not just the euro but the European Union, could win the French presidential election in April. With Britain on its way out, a French government that wants to follow suit, and an Italian government that at least wants to leave the euro, the entire 60-year-old project of European unity could crumble by the end of next year. That’s a lot of ifs, and the likelihood of such a calamity is still very small. But we do live in interesting times. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist are published in 45 countries.

lumbia Valley,” Stuart said of the Rockies bench boss, former NHLer Wade Dubielewicz after Friday’s game. “He is very knowledgeable [about] the game [and] he has played at the highest level.”
The Nitros added forward Nolan Kurylo (’98) to their roster this week. He comes to the team from the Canmore Eagles of the AJHL. The Calgary, AB native played the full 2015-16 season with the Eagles, notching one goal and seven assists in his 43game rookie campaign. He played 13 games this season with them, scoring one goal and four points. Stuart is happy to have Kurylo in the lineup and said that “he is going to be a big part of [the] team moving for-
ward offensively.” “He’s going to add a lot of speed to our lineup which bodes well for us,” he said. “[Our speed] is one of the elements that makes us hard to play against.” With the experience at Junior A, he makes plays a little quicker and faster.” Friday’s game in Fernie starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Fernie Memorial Arena. Saturday’s puck drop is 7 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre. MATCH STICKS: The Kimberley Dynamiters now have 23 players on their roster. George Bertoia and Cody Campbell are both listed as injured, but Campbell is expected back this weekend. Team leading scorer Korbyn Chabot made his Jr A debut Wednesday with the Trail Smoke Eaters.

The Kimberley Dynamiters have familiar foes again this weekend — same teams, same locations, just different dates. First, the Dynamiters head to Fernie on Friday to play the Ghostriders in a rematch of last Saturday’s game. The Riders are now winners of seven of their past 10 games and sit three points behind the Dynamiters. “The only thing we need to do differently [this weekend] is [manage our game] when there is adversity. When there was adversity last [Saturday] night we didn’t do a very good job at managing it,” said head coach and general manager Derek Stuart on Sunday in preparation for facing Fernie again. “We have to [be better at that].” After Fernie, the Nitros host the Columbia Valley Rockies in a rematch of last Friday’s game. “They have a great coach over there in Co-

The odds were stacked against them heading in, but the Kootenay Ice’s 5-0 loss against the Everett Silvertips was still a tough pill to swallow. Everett’s defence lived up to all the hype and kept Kootenay to 20 shots on their all-star goalkeeper Carter Hart. Hart picked up his third straight shutout in the Wednesday night blowout and is approaching a league record with his streak. If Hart can extend his 187:01 minutes without allowing a goal past four games and 265:13
minutes, he’ll break Chris Worthy’s 1967 record for the WHL’s longest shutout streak. The Ice gave up 44 shots to Everett and Payton Lee made 39 saves in the loss. Kootenay was also forced to play without veteran defenceman Troy Murray, who is currently serving a TBD suspension from the league for a hitfrom-behind in their game against Edmonton on November 27. 16-year-old Bobby Russell factored into the lineup in the absence of Murray and Nikita Radzivilyuk, who is out indefinitely with a bro-
ken collarbone. Russell, who was playing in his second ever WHL game, struggled early as he redirected the first goal of the game into his own net and allowed ‘Tips sniper Eetu Tuulola the space to score the second goal on a rush. The Ice should have a better chance in their next two games as they face the Seattle Thunderbirds on Friday and the Portland Winterhawks on Saturday to conclude their American road trip. Kootenay return home to play the Regina Pats on December 6.

Pet Gift Ideas For The Season
Tis the Season of Giving The holidays are a time for giving — and your gift list probably includes your loyal pet. Picking out presents is hard enough as it is, especially since your pet can’t speak up about what they want this year. To make it easier on you this holiday season, we’ve compiled a list of some ideas for your pet.
1. VETERINARY CARE
Check out our new online store and get a free gift with your first order! While supplies last.
3410 Victor Rd., Cranbrook, BC (250) 489-3451 info@steeplesvetclinic.com www.steeplesvetclinic.com
Holidays potentially hazardous to pets The holiday season is full of joy. But in the midst of decorating and socializing, pet owners may overlook the needs of their pets. Hectic schedules and homes full of unusual décor can throw pets off-kilter.
2. GORILLA CHEWS A durable, natural chew for your dog. Made from solid untreated Java wood. Will not splinter.
No pet owner wants their pet to feel uncomfortable or suffer any injuries, so it’s important that owners exercise caution with the following items come the holiday season.
22-10th Ave. S., Cranbrook, BC
250-489-1729
· Bones: Is turkey on the menu for the family feast? If so, resist the urge to toss some bones and scraps to dogs or cats. Small bones or bone chips can become lodged in the digestive tracts of pets and cause serious injury. If you want to provide your pet with a holiday treat, choose a safer, store-bought bone.
www.thepawshop.ca
3. SPA DAY You love your dog, so why not spoil them rotten? Give them a spa day with Cory. They will have a therapeutic spa g bath, primping, grooming, brushing and blow dry plus the finishing touches. Book your appointment today.
· Aromatic oils: The holidays are not the same without the familiar scent of mint, cinnamon or pine. Some people resort to scented candles or aromatherapy oils to create the perfect holiday ambiance. But some synthetic aromas or even natural extracts can be toxic to cats and dogs. Stick to nontoxic items and keep them well out of the pet’s reach. · Chocolate and other sweets: An abundance of treats seems to be par for the course during the holiday season. Dogs should avoid all chocolate, but dark chocolate poses a particularly serious threat. Chocolate can cause agitation, elevated heart rate, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, and even death. In addition, candy or cookies sweetened with the artificial sweetener xylitol can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure for dogs.
250-427-2311 4. KONG CLASSIC FUN TO CHEW, CHASE & FETCH! Durable, natural rubber. Insert treats to extend play time. Dogs need to play.
· Pine needles and trees: When ingested, pine needles can puncture the intestines of pets. In search of an easy drink, dogs and cats may be drawn to the fresh water reservoir of live trees, increasing the likelihood that they knock over a Christmas tree, injuring themselves and causing damage around the house. Trees should be properly secured, and fallen needles should be promptly discarded.
22-10th Ave. S., Cranbrook, BC
250-489-1729 www.thepawshop.ca
· Tinsel and decorations: Skip the tinsel if you have a cat. Felines are likely to mistake tinsel for a toy. Eating tinsel can cause severe damage to a cat’s intestinal tract, as it may get caught in the stomach while the rest of it continues to pass through the intestines. Tinsel also may wrap around the tongue, increasing the cat’s risk of choking. Ornaments also are tempting playthings. Cats may pounce on glass ornaments, breaking them and suffering injury. Keep pets in mind when selecting tree ornaments, and opt for unbreakable ornaments when possible. · Electrical cords: The American Animal Hospital Association says holiday lights mean more electrical cords for kittens and puppies to chew. Secure all cords an

· Candles: The subtle flicker of a lit candle can add ambiance to a space. But all it takes is the swish of a tail or the pat of a paw to knock over a candle and spark a fire. Never leave lit candles unattended. If you have boisterous pets, opt for LED simulated candles instead. · Alcohol: Spirits are sometimes a part of celebrations, but alcoholic beverages should be kept out of reach of pets. Alcohol suppresses the immune system, and it can result in significant health issues for pets who consume it. The holiday season is a time for celebration. Ensure that these festivities are as safe for pets as they are enjoyable. PE14B681

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE prolong the life of your
Christmas Tree
Christmas trees are symbols of the holiday season and the spirit of giving that the season champions. Choosing and decorating a Christmas tree is a tradition for many families, and depending on the trees they choose, families may have some work to do to keep their trees glowing all season long. Artificial Christmas trees require little, if any, maintenance. But live Christmas trees, which some people feel are more authentic and welcoming than their artificial counterparts, require daily maintenance. In addition to supplying the tree with water at least once per day, live Christmas tree owners can take these steps to prolong the life of their trees. · Protect the tree on the way home. Your tree might be vulnerable to damage as you transport it from the farm to your living room. Unwrapped trees placed atop vehicles can be dried out by the wind. Prevent wind damage by wrapping the tree if you plan to place it atop your vehicle. If possible, lay the tree in the bed of a pickup truck and close the cover over the bed. If you don’t have access to a pickup truck but can use a minivan or SUV to transport your tree, see if the tree fits inside your vehicle. If it doesn’t, wrap it tightly in a blanket or another form of cover, making sure the cover won’t blow off in the wind when you hit the open road. · Have the tree cut before you take it off the lot. If you typically purchase your tree from a florist or tree lot instead of a tree farm, then remember to ask the seller to recut the stem of the tree before you take it home. Tree farm trees are freshly cut, but trees sold away from the farm might have been chopped down weeks before they are ultimately sold. During the interval between being cut down and sold, trees’ vascular systems can clog and prevent the tree from getting the water it needs
to survive the season. A fresh cut of the stem unclogs the system and ensures the tree will be able to consume water. · Avoid placing the tree near heaters or drafty windows. Many people know that placing a live tree near a potentially hot heating vent poses a fire hazard. But doing so also can dry out the tree, decreasing the chances it will make it through the season. Placing the tree near drafty windows also can dry out the tree, so try to find a spot in your home with a consistent temperature. · Water the tree often. Christmas trees need lots of water to make it through the season. You may notice the water in the tree stand disappears quickly when you first bring the tree home. That’s because freshly cut trees will consume more water than trees that were cut several weeks ago. As the season goes on and the tree’s vascular system begins to clog, you might not need to water the tree as much as you did when you first brought it home. But check the tree’s water stand twice per day when you first bring it home, refilling the stand with water whenever necessary. A few tricks of the trade can help holiday celebrants maintain lush, awe-inspiring Christmas trees throughout the holiday season. HL16A460

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
Great gifts for
seniors
Cranbrook townsman / Kimberley bulletin
Every holiday shopper ends up with at least one loved one on their shopping list who they can’t seem to find anything for. Some people seem to have it all, while others may be less than forthcoming with regard to items they may need or want.
Many seniors tend to fall into the latter category. Shopping for holiday gifts for seniors can be difficult if shoppers don’t know what seniors want. But the following are a handful of gift ideas that might make this holiday season that much more special for seniors. Books A 2015 survey from the Pew Research Center found that 69 percent of adults age 65 and over acknowledged reading at least one book in the previous 12 months. That makes books a good bet for shoppers who don’t know what to get their 65-and-over loved ones this holiday season. But shoppers might want to opt for more traditional print books rather than e-books, as the survey found that only 15 percent of readers age 65 and over had read an e-book in the previous 12 months. Gym membership According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, more than 80 percent of adults do not meet the guidelines for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. That can be especially troubling for seniors, who are at greater risk for osteoporosis, a medical condition in which age-related tissue loss contributes to brittle, fragile bones. Physical activity, including muscle-strengthening activities like weight training, can help combat osteoporosis. Family members stuck on what to get aging loved ones may want to consider gifting a membership to a local gym. Many gyms offer heavily discounted memberships to seniors, and such gyms may even offer senior fitness classes at no additional cost.

Travel gifts Many retirees love to travel, but not every senior has the means to take off for parts unknown. A 2013 survey from the Transamerica Center for Retirement StudiesŽ found that 25 percent of retirees admitted they wished they would have saved more for retirement travel. Holiday shoppers can light up seniors’ smiles by gifting travel gifts this holiday season. One idea is to transfer airline miles to an elderly loved one so he or she can get a free or discounted flight. If that’s not a possibility, some new luggage or a Global Hotel CardTM sponsored by OrbitzŽ, a gift card that can be redeemed at 70,000 hotels across the globe, is sure to please. Family time Shoppers who are especially stuck on what to get seniors for Christmas can just resolve to spend more time with their elderly loved ones. Many seniors genuinely have everything they need, and such men and women may only want to spend more time with their children and grandchildren. Make a New Year’s resolution to spend more time with the special seniors in your life if the perfect gift is eluding you. HL16A449

holiday dinner hosts Hosting a holiday meal for loved ones provides an exciting opportunity to bring family and friends together during a special time of year. First-time hosts may be a little nervous and put pressure on themselves to make the meal just right. But there are a few tricks of the trade novices can employ to calm their nerves and enjoy their first foray into holiday hosting. · Go with what you know. Experimenting in the kitchen can be fun, but such experimentation should be avoided when hosting for the holidays. When planning the menu for your holiday dinner, choose a main course that you have prepared in the past. Familiarity can calm your nerves, and you’re less likely to forget key ingredients when preparing a meal you have made several times in the past. If you want to experiment a little, do so with desserts that you can prepare and test for taste several days in advance. If the desserts don’t pan out, you will still have a few days to find an alternative. · Get a head start wherever possible. The day friends and family are coming to visit figures to be hectic. In addition to preparing the meal, hosts must also ready their homes so they can create a welcoming environment for their guests. Once you have chosen the menu, look for items that can be prepared in advance of the big day. Desserts can often be made several days in advance, as can certain side dishes. Do as much prep work for the main course the night before the meal as possible. · Double check your pantry. Even if you’re making a meal you have made a dozen times in the past, peruse your pantry to make sure you have every ingredient you’re going to need. If you’re used to making the meal for four people but will now be making the meal for 12 of them, make sure you have enough of each ingredient to make the meal in bulk. To make things easier, update your recipe to reflect the additional guests before going to the grocery store. Doing so guarantees you won’t run out of ingredients once you start preparing the meal. · Ask guests to bring nonessential items. Guests will likely offer to bring something to the holiday dinner, and there’s nothing wrong with accepting help. But don’t ask guests to bring items that are essential to the meal, as that can delay the meal if guests get stuck in traffic or show up late. Instead, ask guests to bring a bottle of wine, a small dessert or even some snacks guests can eat while waiting for the main course. · Ask about food allergies. While hosts don’t need to cater to every food allergy under the sun, ask each guest if there is any particular food or ingredient they absolutely must avoid. If enough guests admit they must avoid a particular dish, you then know not to prepare it. In addition, have plenty of vegetables on hand for guests who are vegan or vegetarian. Holiday hosting is fun, and first-time hosts can make it even more fun by employing a few veteran tricks of the trade. HL16A465

· Book early flights. Early flights may be less likely to be delayed than flights in the afternoon and evening. The later into the day your flight departs, the more likely that departure might be affected by delays or inclement weather at other airports and in other cities. Waking up early might not be ideal for everyone, but check-in and security lines tend to be short in the early morning hours as well. Those lines get longer as morning becomes afternoon and afternoon becomes evening. · Save money with package deals. Holiday travel is expensive, as airlines and hotels recognize the holiday season is peak travel season. Package deals from sites such as Orbitz® combine flight and hotels into one price, and such deals may even include rental cars. Travel bundles can save travelers considerable amounts of money. Compare the prices when booking each individually to the price of a package deal, and choose the one that best suits your budget.

· Be flexible with airports. Air travelers who are flexible with regard to their departing and arriving airports may be able to save time and money. Small airports might not boast the shopping and dining amenities of large airports, but small airports have less flights and, as a result, tend to experience less flight delays, saving travelers time. Small airports also may not charge as much for overnight parking as large airports. When considering flights from various airports, factor in the cost of parking and transportation to and from each airport. A flight that takes off at your ideal travel time but costs more than the alternative might actually save you money if you can save on transportation and parking.

· Be flexible with your travel dates. Holiday travelers who are flexible with regard to their travel dates may be able to avoid traffic or long lines at the airport. The BTS notes that people traveling between 50 and 99 miles away from home are most likely to travel on Thursday and return on Saturday. So those making short trips who want to avoid traffic may actually benefit by driving home on Sunday after leaving home on Friday rather than traveling on Thursday and Saturday. The BTS notes that travel days are spread out almost equally among people who travel 100 miles away from home or more, so the day travelers choose may not matter as much as the time of day they choose to travel. Flights during off-peak hours, for example, may help travelers avoid long check-in and security lines at airports.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are willing to make big changes, and you will benefit more from your willingness than from the changes. Optimism surrounds you. Opportunity knocks on your door. You are quick-witted, and you move quickly as well. Tonight: Visit with an older relative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Reach out to someone at a distance with whom you are likely to have a rewarding discussion. This person’s opinions will be eye-opening, to say the least. You tend to see things from a more conservative perspective. Tonight: Listen to a juicy morsel of gossip. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A close encounter or a high-powered one-on-one discussion will leave you with quite an impression. You could be rethinking a judgment you made. A partner will do whatever he or she needs to in order to convince you of his or her rightness. Tonight: A friend provides a laugh.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to rethink your plans, especially if something comes up at work or with a relative. One-on-one relating establishes just how important a key person is. The unexpected could occur when dealing with a boss or older relative. Tonight: Leader of the gang. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A close interaction and a fun moment will put a smile on your face. Return calls to business and/or personal associates, if you can. Good news lies ahead. A conversation surrounding plans and a project can be changed. Tonight: Go where great music is played. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your creativity emerges in a different way. Others note your ingenuity but might not be ready to jump on your bandwagon. You could be surprised by a choice a partner makes. Do not judge; instead, accept that this person can be flaky at times. Tonight: And the fun begins. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will want a partner to change direction. You might
Tundra
succeed, but don’t expect this person to open every door or head down every potential path you suggest. Avoid trying out ideas or stances that are likely to make most people crazy. Tonight: Choose a favorite pastime. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to hear more before committing to a particular course of action. In fact, you might want to reach out to a trusted friend or associate for some feedback. Know that you will have a lot of support when you make a final decision. Tonight: Swap news with a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be careful with your spending. The ramifications of going overboard could be much greater than you initially had thought. You can’t predict future events or when and where you will need to spend funds. A little caution goes a long way. Tonight: Let others pick up the tab. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You move in a way that reflects complete understanding of an issue. Whatever your goal is at
the moment, you’ll give it your full attention. Others sense this quality of thoroughness in you, which gives you an edge when leading a project. Tonight: Lead others into the weekend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be done with everything that is going on and will want to hide in order to avoid hearing one more problem or piece of gossip. Do so, and you are likely to feel much better. Consider taking the day off and turning off your phone. Tonight: Work on a vanishing act. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Make up for lost time. Sometimes you sit back and wait for others to make decisions. Know that you could take the lead if you wanted to. Recognizing your desires will be instrumental to your success in life. Tonight: Get the most out of the moment. BORN TODAY Singer Britney Spears (1981), fashion designer Gianni Versace (1946), football player Aaron Rodgers (1983)

Dear Annie by Annie Lane
some misunderstanding Dear Annie: My brother and I were born on the same day, exactly one year apart. Our birthday fell on a Saturday this year. He told me that his girlfriend was going to take him out on his birthday and that we would celebrate together with our parents the following day for brunch. I said OK. My husband and I also went out to dinner for my birthday that Saturday night. As we were driving to the restaurant, I saw my dad standing across the street in front of a restaurant that my brother and I both love. My husband and I had reservations across the street. After we finished dinner, we decided to walk up and down the street. We happened to pass the restaurant I had seen my dad in front of. I decided to pop in and see whether my parents were there. I looked around and saw my brother with his girlfriend and our parents. He saw me and waved us over. When I got to their table, I was laughing. I thought it was funny to find the four of them there. My mother, under her breath, said, “I couldn’t tell you.” The girlfriend looked at me and said, “This is my doing. It’s my party.” I replied, “That’s great.” We chatted briefly and left. The next day, my brother texted me, “Do not bring up last night.” I said, “OK, but why? I’m not angry. All is cool.” We met for birthday brunch. I asked my brother whether he told his girlfriend what I’d said. He told me to tell her. When I did, she replied with, “Well, it made the rest of the evening awkward.” That was it. I just laughed it off. Well, just recently, my brother told me I needed to apologize to his girlfriend. I said, “For what?” It was not a pleasant conversation. He was adamant that it was my fault. Just to appease my brother, I will apologize, but I just don’t know what to say and still feel I did not do anything wrong. Help. -- Confused Dear Confused: I’m confused, too. The best way to straighten this out is just to call your brother’s girlfriend and say, “Did I offend you somehow? I really didn’t intend to, and I’m not sure where things went wrong.” Either it’s a misunderstanding or she’s a little nuts. A candid conversation is the only way to figure it out. Dear Annie: I’m writing in reply to “Halloweary,” who complained about trick-ortreaters being too old, not in costume or out after 8 p.m. I grew up in the inner city, where parents worked multiple jobs and took multiple buses to get home. The understanding was that Halloween doorbell ringing ended at 9 p.m. Some kids are too poor for costumes. Some have parents who don’t care or aren’t really around for them because of addiction. As for the age aspect, I have known kids who looked like adults at age 9. My brother had a friend who had to have an adult desk in kindergarten because he didn’t fit in the type that the other kids had. Any child learns soon enough that he has to give up being a child. Let children remain children as long as possible, and take pity on those who are less fortunate. Your kindness may be their fondest childhood memory. -Be Kind Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Heather Patricia Totten
Heather Patricia Totten, age 78 of Cranbrook, B.C., passed away on November 9th, 2016, at Cranbrook Hospital after a short battle with cancer. She was the loving wife, of Robert “Bob� James Totten of Cranbrook for 41 years. Heather Pat was born on November 6, 1939 in Hanna, Alberta, to Franklin and Alice Rockwell. Heather Pat completed her education in Bassano, Alberta and continued on to McConnell Airline School in Minneapolis, Minn., where she went to work with Continental Airlines, as an airline hostess with offices in Chicago and Bermuda. Working in Bermuda as a switchboard operator was just the start, she continued on working in hotels in California and back to Cananda, where she went to Brooks, Alberta to be a radio announcer for CKBR Radio for their morning show. Then on a visit to Mayook, family friends took her up the hill to the neighbours as they were branding cattle, where she met a tall, handsome man wearing a cowboy hat. It wasn’t long after that, they married on June 12th, 1975. They started the farm in Mayook with the cattle and then to sod farming Heather Pat kept the books and house along with running after the kids that came along. The family moved to Bull River where the logging business kept them busy year round with always having the Christmas Trees to harvest and always finding the time for great friends and neighbours stopping in. Heather Pat loved her garden, she and Bob would always have corn growing for the “corn roasts� they would put on; from a small gathering to becoming a weekend campout party with a band. Heather Pat would load up the camper when Bob was itching to go somehwere; she would take the “low road’ and Bob would take the “high road,� and up the Bull they would go. Moving to Creston and the start of their new adventure, the sod farm grew with love and hard work, to the local kids they hired, the neighbours along the way, the local buinesses that they supported and supported them. With time spent in Creston, they moved back to Cranbrook to slow down, which as everyone would know, wouldn’t last long, they kept going on many projects. Heather Pat: always a great cook with recipes up her sleeve, love of animals, a host for “pop in� visitors, and a great mom with always the time to listen, and teach with the greatest love for her children and family. Bob and Heather loved each other since the day they met, as they are soul mates. they are sitting on the porch together, watching us, as they are not gone from us, they are on the road together. Be gentle, be kind, be a friend, love your family and friends. Always listen to the other side of the converation, then make your own idea and enjoy life, as our life is too short - HT
Love, The Totter Family

Eelin Jean Fulton 1936 – 2016
It is with great sadness that the family of Eelin Fulton announces her passing on Wednesday, November 23, 2016 at Ivy House Care Facility in Invermere with her family at her side. Eelin was born to William and Maude Griffiths on June 25, 1936 in Toronto. Eelin and her family moved to Montreal when she was eight and lived there until her father was transferred to Terrace, BC. In 1954 Eelin gained employment with Columbia Cellulose in Prince Rupert. From there she was transferred to Vancouver and became the office manager in their Research and Development Branch. Eelin met and married her future husband Lorne in 1965 and they began their life together in Kimberley, BC. Eelin started her career as a school secretary in 1967, and except for a two year hiatus after the birth of her son Jaime, she worked until her retirement in 1997. During her time with the school district Eelin worked in almost every school in Kimberley. Following her retirement, Eelin was asked to become a member of the Kimberley and District Community Foundation, which is tasked with helping provide funding to worthy applicants and organizations. Eelin continued as recording secretary for the foundation until ill health forced her resignation.

DON’T DRINK Ignition Interlock Program The following events on your driving record may result in the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles referring you to the Ignition Interlock Program: • One alcohol-related impaired driving conviction under the Criminal Code of Canada or the Motor Vehicle Act; • One Administrative Driving Prohibition; • One 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP); • One 30-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP); • Three alcohol-related 24-hour Prohibitions (within 5 years); • A combination of any three of the following (within 5 years): Alcoholrelated 24-hour prohibition, 3-day IRP or 7-day IRP. An ignition interlock is a device wired into the vehicle’s ignition system that requires the driver of the vehicle to provide a breath sample before attempting to drive. The sample must register an alcohol-free breath or the vehicle will not start. The device records

all activity, including attempts to disconnect, bypass or tamper with it. Note: Any vehicle a driver in the ignition interlock program drives must have an ignition interlock device installed. Should someone else wish to drive the car in which the device is installed, they too will have to provide a breath sample in order for the car to start up. The Ignition Interlock Program helps drivers separate their drinking from their driving and research has proven that interlock devices help reduce the occurrence of further alcohol related driving incidents.. While driving, the device will require the driver to provide his or her breath sample into
the device, at intervals, to ensure the driver has not consumed alcohol. If the sample shows alcohol is present, it will activate an alarm installed in the vehicle. Drivers enrolled in the program will have to attend the installation centre 30 days after initial installation, and every 60 days thereafter, for maintenance and to download the data recorded by the device. For further information on how the device works, making arrangements to get your vehicle outfitted with the ignition interlock device, or any other questions regarding Ignition Interlock, contact Alcolock Canada – http://guardianinterlock.ca/ (see Installation Centres for a location near you).

DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T DRINK Kimberley RCMP Detachment Phone: (250) 427-4811 Royal Canadian Mounted Police Release date: November 29, 2016
National Impaired Driving Enforcement Campaign The RCMP is making impaired driving enforcement a national priority; stepping up enforcement efforts across the country to stop impaired drivers, beginning with an enforcement blitz on December 3, 2016. Impaired driving is an entirely preventable cause of death and injuries that has immense costs and devastating effects in our communities. If you are planning on drinking, please do not drive. By finding an alternative way home such as public transit, cabs, or a designated driver you can help ensure that you, and people sharing the road with you, get to their destination safely. It is important for people to realize that alcohol affects people in different ways. Factors such as diet, fatigue, and prescription drugs can change how alcohol affects an individual. It is possible to be considered impaired even if you have a Blood Alcohol Content below 0.08. The consequences of impaired driving are massive. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re risking your life and the lives of others. You can be charged criminally and the ripple effect on you, your family and friends could be huge. Driving after using drugs, even prescription drugs, is just as dangerous as drinking and driving.
lookout for impaired drivers, they will be setting up roving roadblocks as well as having extra members on the road during this campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kimberley RCMP take impaired driving very seriously. There is no need or reason that someone has to take the risk of killing themselves or others because they choose to get into a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol or consuming drugs. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have a safe Holiday Season where everyone makes it home to their loved ones.â&#x20AC;? Sgt Chris Newel, Kimberley RCMP.
