Drunk leads to breach of conditions charge
At 12:25 a.m. on Nov. 8, a foot patrol in the town area resulted in the arrest of an intoxicated 23-year-old male from Invermere. It was learned that the male had outstanding warrants out of Calgary with numerous conditions on him. Calgary Police were not willing to extend the warrant into British Columbia. The male has been charged with breaching his conditions.
Hanging them up
It’s time to hang up the skates and go fishing.

There are fish out there with my name on it. They just don’t know it yet. There is a boat out there that needs to keep running. There is a “to do” list that Bev has been adding to. Fishing no doubt is not at the top of her list.
I have also come to the realization from my amateur friends at Thursday evening poker at the Legion that I have the ability of going pro to make some real money. I’m into fiction! So, maybe we should just stick to the fishing.
The three-year plan when I arrived in 2009 to work in the valley has stretched out to seven years. The people in our valley made it an easy decision to keep going. My last day of work will be March 4, 2016, which will put me over 40 years with the Force. I have been fortunate to work half my career in the community of Golden and now here in the valley.
