Columbia Valley Detachment responded to 96 incidents
from July 4 to July 9, 2007. Some of the more
notable events were as follows:
• July 4: At 10:41 a.m., RCMP received a report
of an accident on Westside Road. Police attended approximately
two kilometres south of Ruault Road on
Westside Road and located a vehicle rolled over in the
ditch. Th e driver was not injured. Th e crash occurred
as the driver was adjusting the CD in his vehicle and
when he looked up he noticed he was travelling on the
right shoulder. When he tried to correct, he mistakenly
“over-steered,” crossing into the oncoming lane, fi shtailing
into the right side again, where he drove into
the right ditch, coming to a rest after rolling over.
RCMP would like to remind motorists that although
common practice, changing CDs, radio stations
and cell phone use by drivers of moving vehicles
can and sometimes do have adverse consequences.
Even if no charges are laid, driver inattentiveness can
create concerns with respect to insurance claims. Drivers
are urged to pull their vehicles over to the right side
of the road, make whatever adjustments or phone calls
they need - then feel free to drive safe and secure.
Imagine an airplane pilot making a cell phone call
at take-off - I know they have as much or more experience
fl ying as some drivers do driving - but it would
still make me wish I’d taken the bus.
• July 4: At 2:30 p.m., RCMP responded to a report
of a domestic assault and that the off ender had
left the house. During their investigation at the scene,
the suspect returned and was arrested by police. Th e
suspect was later released from custody on strict “no
contact” conditions. Th e alleged off ender is due to ap-

RCMP Report
“Ryan has been amazing throughout the whole
thing,” Daphne said. “He has been so mature and is
always looking out for her.”
As for the future, Daphne does not know what
it holds for her family - but she does know that her
daughter is tough.
“She started walking before she was 10 months
old, she falls down on her head and is right back up,”
Daphne said. “Th is is another fall she is going to have,
but she is going to get right back up.”
Daphne said and Al are very thankful for the over-
pear in court on August 21, 2007.
• July 4: At 9:15 p.m., RCMP were called to Kinsmen
Beach in Invermere, because there were people
doing drugs and drinking beer and being loud and
obnoxious. Police observed about 15 empty bottles of
alcohol lying on the lawn next to a group of people,
who denied they were responsible. Th ere was also an
open bag with six full cans of beer in it. Th e owner
was directed to destroy them by pouring them out.
No charges could be laid as there was no direct evidence
any of the people were actually consuming beer
in public. Th e group did pick up the empty bottles
and put them in the garbage. Police then observed another
male had an open beer nearby. He was issued a
provincial violation ticket.
• July 7: At 3:19 a.m., RCMP were called to a
complaint of a break, enter and assault in Edgewater.
Upon arrival, police were advised that a man known
to the residents attended their house around 3 a.m.,
and entered uninvited, assaulted another male, threw
property around the residence, and left. Th e complainant
also reported that within the past two weeks,
the same suspect grabbed her and pinned her against a
wall. Th ere was also another incident where he pinned
her arms and removed some clothing. Th e suspect was
located the following day by RCMP and arrested. He
was held in custody and taken to Cranbrook to appear
in court for a bail hearing.
Over the weekend, RCMP were called to downtown
Invermere a few times to deal with intoxicated
people wandering around, causing fi ghts inside and
outside local bars. Police are examining options under
the Criminal Code and the B.C. Liquor Control &
Licencing Act to determine the most eff ective method
of curbing unruly behaviour in future cases.
whelming support they are receiving from the valley.
“I would like to send out big kudos to our doctor
Maria Dibb,” she said. “She has been with us
throughout the whole thing even though we are not
in Invermere.”

family. Th e White House Hotel in Windermere will
hold their annual White House Classic in support of
Keira. Th e event will be held on Friday, July 20th at 9
