Teachers learn to save lives Sam Redding Black Press

We’re back! Opening day for the Fort St James Farmers’ Market was Friday May 10. They are back on Stuart Drive all summer long with local food, crafts, jams and jellies, baking, and more. Look for the white tents downtown on Stuart Drive!

Quad fatality in Vanderhoof Angela Elizabeth Johnson, 28, was six months pregnant when she was riding on Jardine Road on Saturday, May 4. Ms. Johnson was taken from the Cluculz Lake area by ambulance to St. John Hospital, Vanderhoof but died from her injuries. She was attempting to turn her quad around a corner when the ATV tipped over and she was fatally injured. She was not wearing a helmet. The Vanderhoof RCMP would like to remind people to always wear the proper safety gear.

Several teachers were taught how to use the new Automated External Defibrillators that will be installed in schools in the Nechako Lakes district on Friday, May 10. This, in addition to the training they have already received, will enable staff to begin teaching students how to save the life of someone experiencing cardiac arrest. The ACT Foundation and the BC Ambulance Service have organized and enabled secondary schools all over Canada to learn the techniques required that might save a person’s life. British Columbia Ambulance Service paramedic and CPR instructor Laine Smith is volunteering his time to teach the workshop. “The ACT Foundation set up CPR training in high schools back in 2010 with the support of community partners,” said Sandra Clarke, executive director of the ACT Foundation. “And now we’re going back to schools in Vanderhoof and around the province… at the ACT Foundation our goal is to ensure every young person graduates with the skills and knowledge to save a life.” This will see 200 students trained every year in the secondary schools in Nechako Valley, Fraser Lake, and Fort St. James. This is in addition to the 1.8 million students already trained in Canada and the 240,000 students trained in B.C. alone. Clarke would like to thank AstraZeneca Canada, Pfizer Canada, Sanofi and RBC who have together contributed three AED units, eight AED training units, and eight AED training mannequins for the three public secondary schools.

Teachers from Fort St. James Secondary School, Nechako Valley Secondary School and Fraser Lake Elementary Secondary School participated in a workshop in Vanderhoof May 10, to be trained as instructors for their students. Below - donation from RBC to purchase the equipment needed.

St. John Hospital in Vanderhoof parking and facility access during renovation work Northern Health is advising patients, visitors and staff at St. John Hospital in Vanderhoof of changes to parking and access entrances at the facility during the current renovation project. Effective Monday, May 13 and for up to six weeks, the front parking lot at St. John Hospital will be closed and the main vehicle entrance will be available only for BC Ambulance Service and emergency patient drop-off.

Visitors and patients accessing the Lab and Diagnostic Imaging departments are asked to park in the upper lot at the rear of the hospital, and to use the rear hospital entrance between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., the front entrance of the hospital will be open to foot traffic, but vehicle parking will not be available.

Please pay attention to signage for vehicle and foot traffic, as instructions will change from week to week based on the renovation work. St. John Hospital staff should park in the temporary parking lot behind the Public Health office, adjacent to the cemetery. Northern Health thanks everyone for their patience during this important renovation project.

Premier Christy Clark was at the grounds of the Babine Forest Products sawmill near Burns Lake on May 9, 2013, to participate in a local community celebration of the sawmill’s rebuild. The new construction, already well-underway, is widely regarded as the result of moves by the Liberal government to ensure that Hampton Affiliates, the mill’s owners, would have the mid and long-term timber supply to justify the cost of rebuilding. The Babine Forest Products mill is near Burns Lake, in the Nechako-Lakes riding currently represented by Liberal MLA John Rustad. The original sawmill was destroyed in an explosion and fire that took the lives

Independent Investigations Office closes preliminary investigation in Vanderhoof The IIO confirms that it will not proceed with an investigation into an incident that occurred on March 10, 2013, involving a motor vehicle collision and an officer from the Vanderhoof RCMP. On March 10, 2013, at 6:53 a.m., the IIO was notified of an officer-involved incident that had taken place earlier that morning. According to the RCMP, at approximately 4:20 a.m., an on duty officer had observed a vehicle operating in an unsafe manner near Burrard Ave. and 1st St. (Highway 16). Shortly thereafter, the vehicle struck a utility pole. The three passengers were injured. Two were believed to have sustained serious injuries, including fractures. As this appeared to be an officer-related incident that resulted in serious harm, the IIO asserted jurisdiction and deployed six investigative staff to the area. During the course of the preliminary investigation, the IIO team was able to conduct numerous investigative activities that led to the determination that the incident was not related to an officer’s actions. Information was obtained from the vehicle driver and other affected persons, civilian witnesses, the involved officer, data retrieved from the police vehicle and other video recordings. In summary, an onduty RCMP officer in a marked police vehicle was travelling northbound on Burrard Ave. At 4:19 a.m., he passed a parking lot at a local convenience store and noted a “large cloud of dust”. As the officer slowed, he observed a truck emerge from the dust and heard it accelerate as it turned southbound onto Burrard Ave. The officer activated his emergency lights and turned around, proceeding southbound. As the truck continued southbound toward 1st St. (Highway 16), it failed to stop at a red light and turned right onto 1st St. at a high rate of speed. The officer momentarily lost

According to interviews conducted with the driver and the other affected persons, they were not aware that the officer was following them until just prior to the crash. As a result, while the collision did result in serious harm to the affected persons, it was deemed not officer-involved and jurisdiction was not sustained. The IIO file will be closed with no further action. For more information related to cases under investigation by the IIO, see: http://iiobc.ca/cases/

Parenting is not a popularity contest Jim Cessford Black Press Parenting comes in many forms. We all have personal philosophies around raising our children with the ultimate goal of creating successful, happy and healthy adults. Unfortunately, and to my shock, my children did not arrive with a copy of “Parenting for Dummies” or any other easy reference guide. The caveat to this editorial is that I am by no means a parenting expert and my observations come from personal experience as a parent, coach and police officer. Like most parents, I often second-guess myself and wonder if I am doing the right thing for my kids even now that they are adults. As I grew into parenthood and after nearly 40 years of policing, I began to recognize that raising kids is 90 per cent hard work and 10 per cent luck. The 90 per cent includes everything from stuffing everyone into a vehicle for a road trip (which always seemed like a good idea in the planning stages) to talking about peer pressure and decision making, to grounding them for breaking curfew, to comforting them when their hearts were broken. One of the most important parenting lessons that I have learned is that while I do enjoy a friendship with my children, I am not their friend. There is a clear distinction between parent and friend and many parents want to make their children happy by giving

them what they want rather than what they need. Teenagers want parents that will host parties with alcohol. What they need is a parent that sets boundaries. Teenagers want unrestricted use of personal cellphones and social media. What they need is a parent that protects their dignity. Teenagers want to go where they want, when they want. What they need is a parent that knows where they are, who they are with and what they are doing – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What may come as a surprise to some parents is that kids don’t just need rules and expectations, they want them as well. Even though nearly all kids will push the limits at some point, they will thrive within a clear set of boundaries. As parents we need to clearly communicate to them what it is we want. We also need them to understand the consequences of not following rules. They need to know that “sexting” nude pictures of themselves or getting drunk at a party and engaging in sexual activity with strangers or multiple partners can have devastating consequences. We will let our children down if we don’t set boundaries, talk openly with them and consistently reinforce those boundaries. We all make mistakes, our children will make mistakes. However, we can guide them through life by teaching them that because every action has a reaction; that they must choose their actions wisely.

Apology To the residents in Fort St James I would like to offer my sincerest apology for the article in The Courier on May 8 stating that the undersigned supported Mr. John Rustad in the upcoming election as Mayor. I support Mr. Rustad as a citizen of Fort St James and gave John permission to use my name and picture in his advertising with explicit instructions that my position as an elected official was not to be stated at any time. Unfortunately the latter happened and to those people who may be affected by this unintentional error I again offer my most humble apology. Rob MacDougall

Anti-gang police publish first community report CFSEU unveils profile of murder victims, warning signs for parents Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C.’s anti-gang police unit is taking a step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) is the integrated team of 400 officers and civilians from 14 different agencies, including RCMP and municipal police forces, that disrupt and suppress organized crime around the province. Their investigations have cracked big cases, such as the discovery of an audacious cross-border drug-smuggling tunnel in Aldergrove and the unraveling of a massive international money-laundering ring. The CFSEU is now out to capture a bigger public profile with the publication of its first-ever Community Report. The report can be read online at bc-anti-gang.com. Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the aim is to make more people aware of the CFSEU and what it does. The initiative comes as the anti-gang force chalks up a major win – the arrest in February of three men in the murder of notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon, who was shot with four associates in 2011 outside a Kelowna casino. “Some people never thought that day would ever come,” Houghton said. “Or that the police would ever take something like that seriously. That was one of the watershed moments in the history of Kelowna.” Houghton said the report pulls together a broader picture of the CFSEU’s work than people see in daily news media coverage. “It seems like every couple of weeks or months we’ve got an interesting story to tell and this was one way for us

to tell it,” he said. The report includes stories of officers tracking members of the Dhak/Duhre crime group who make up one side of the ongoing bloody gang conflict in B.C. And it also releases intriguing findings on who is most likely to end up a victim of the gang violence that occasionally erupts in B.C. CFSEU researchers found the vast majority of gang-re-

lated murder victims over a four-year period had previous drug charges or convictions, and often violent criminal pasts. Most were gang members, not just associates or minor players in the drug trade, and a few were girlfriends or an innocent victim, like a man who was shot in Burnaby after picking up a Bacon brother vehicle to install a car stereo in it. B.C. gang-related killings peaked at 36 in 2009 before dropping to 18 last year. Victims are overwhelmingly men and their average age is 30, according to CFSEU stats. Three-quarters of bodies are found near the victims’ homes or vehicles. Most (85 per cent) were shot, but eight per cent were viciously beaten, six per cent were stabbed and one victim was burned to death. Also included are key risk factors for ending up in a gang and tips for parents on spotting potential signs of gang involvement. Carrying multiple cellphones, having unexplained cash and making frequent brief trips out of the home are among the red flags. The report details how police try to keep gangsters out of bars and restaurants to keep them from recruiting new blood, as well as to prevent gang violence. This month the CFSEU said it will publicly identify suspected gangsters where possible as a new tactic to make it more difficult for organized crime to operate. After a gang-related shooting outside a gym in South Surrey, senior officers are also pledging backup for businesses that make gangsters feel unwelcome in their premises. For more on the CFSEU, check out their website at cfseu.bc.ca.
