RCMP nab four impaired drivers in Kimberley C A R O LYN G R A N T
Kimberley RCMP removed four impaired drivers from the road last Friday, September 19. Normally, that many drivers under the influence may come from a checkstop, but that particular evening, the charges all resulted from different traffic stops. In each of these incidents drivers brought attention to themselves by committing traffic violations, says Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel. “Officers routinely conduct traffic stops for what may appear
to be minor infractions, but often it can lead to far more.” The busy evening began at 9:30 p.m. in Marysville. “An officer witnessed a driver exit a business and cut off another vehicle,” Newel said. “He stopped the vehicle. The officer noted signs of impairment and obtained a breath sample. It was a “Fail” which means the driver is now prohibited from driving for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for 30 days.” Just after midnight, the same night, police received the report of the damage to a vehicle in the
Platzl parking lot area. There had been a witness to the damage and police were provided a description, Newel says and patrols were made, but police did not locate the suspects. However, later an officer was making patrols near the ski hill when he noted a vehicle being driven in an unusual manner. “He conducted a traffic stop and noted signs of impairment, a breath demand was made and the driver blew a “Fail”,” said Newel.

Asbestos removal clears the way for use of old fire hall ARNE PE TRYSHEN
The old fire hall has been cleared of asbestos and is ready for a tenant to take it over. “The asbestos at the fire hall has been dealt with,” CAO Wayne Staudt said at the Sept. 15 council meeting. “So we have got a report from the consultant firm that oversaw the work.” Staudt said that meant the building is now ready for any kind of construction work or a tenant. While a Memorandum of Understand has been signed between the
City of Cranbrook and the Cranbrook and District Arts Council, CAO Wayne Staudt confirmed that there are still “no definite plans for any group to move into the old fire hall at this time.” At the end of August the city received a project closure report from Peak Environment Ltd, the professional consultant hired to oversee the project including the monitoring and inspecting services.
