YOUTH VIOLENCE A THOUSAND WORDS

◆ CONTINUED from page A1

The for Justice Statistics, an arm of Statistics Canada, noted a slight decline in youth homicides in 2007, the last reported year, while 2006 had the second-highest rate since 1961. This while Canada’s overall homicide rate has been dropping steadily since 1975. Boyanowsky, whose own son was a victim of random violence a couple of years ago, reluctantly points a finger at the usual suspect — the mainstreaming violence in popular culture. There are gory movies and TV shows that desensitize youth to violence, tough-talking rap videos and a thug code that has no tolerance for the slightest insult. “All of these things might contribute and you have these wannabe types of individuals,” Boyanowsky says. “But I think what it is, it’s become OK to do that. What you’ve got is a disinhibition process going on.” Add alcohol and drugs to the mix and the threshold of civility drops even further, he says. But Michael Chettleburgh says it’s not as simple as blaming a gang culture imported from the U.S. “I think those arguments are bull, frankly,” says Chettleburgh, a consultant and the author of several books on Canadian gangs. “Those things don’t produce what we’re seeing on the streets right now.” He says the common denominators today are pervasive influence of the illicit drug trade and the ready availability of guns. “Kids are more desensitized to violence; in ever- increasing arcs there’s more violence, more acute violence on the street,” he says. “That’s driven though not by U.S. influences or external influences but just the dynamic of the gang business right now.” Herald photo by Ian Martens Youth violence is not new, says Rob Rai, who works Canadian Search Dog Association handler Erin Olsen and her dog Bailey lead a group of children and families to an outdoor tracking as a youth diversity liaison for the Surrey school demonstration in the nature reserve as part of the Helen Schuler Coulee Centre’s Family Day events Monday. district to help identify kids vulnerable to gang recruitment. He says young men have always tested each other. “Now we’re seeing that the ones that are involved in this are the ones that are willing to push that TURNING POINT envelope and engage in jumpings as opposed to one- on-one fights or are more willing to use weapons.” STORIES CONTINUED FROM OUR FRONT PAGE Rai calculates only about 250 of the 67,000 students in the school district display “gang- associated behaviour,” a figure that doesn’t surprise him. Schools aren’t fertile ground for gang recruiters, who instead look on street corners, malls or outside SMOKERS READY TO ‘SNAP’ convenience stores. “That’s where you’re going to find the kids that are Ontario had previously banned week to find ways to improve the bored, vulnerable, at risk and willing to engage,” says smoking in all enclosed public places fledgling legislation.

hen Sharlene Bruised Head-Mountain Horse went to a downtown business for lunch one afternoon, she certainly didn’t expect to become a witness to an incident of racial profiling.W She had noticed an aboriginal homeless man who appeared to be limping and asked him how he was doing. But it didn’t take long, she said, before a female employee approached the man and told him not to bother her or the customers. Even though Bruised Head- Mountain Horse assured the employee everything was fine, the man was told to leave the establishment. What happened next stunned Bruised Head-Mountain Horse. She recalled how the manager came out and confronted the man, who had a $20 bill in his hand and was simply trying to buy some food. That’s when the manager grabbed the man and threw him out the door for Herald photos by Ian Martens no apparent reason, she said, causing a scene among A crowd watches as debris settles around Juran Greene, playing the part of Black Bart, after firing his rifle in a re-enactment of a old-west customers. The man then retaliated by breaking a store shoot out during Family Day activities Monday at Fort Whoop-Up. window and the police were called to the scene. “He wasn’t causing a disturbance, he wasn’t intoxicated, there was nothing of that nature. I was nearly in tears,” said Bruised Head-Mountain Horse, a board member of the aboriginal Council of Lethbridge. “There’s a lot of great people in the city who I have observed helping homeless people here. But sometimes there are things that stand out to you that are just not humanly right.” Racial profiling is based on the assumption that members of a certain ethnic group are disproportionately more likely to be involved in certain criminal activities. It’s safe to say when most of us enter a store, we are not followed around until the time we leave, have our bags searched for no apparent reason or denied sale of a certain product. But incidents such as this do occur in the city from time to time. It’s an issue Lethbridge regional police don’t take very lightly, and therefore have members undergo mandatory bias-free police training in an effort to eliminate any preconceived judgements about ethnic groups within the city. New recruits and service members receive the two-day training annually, which begins with an introduction to the Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act. They also spend time at the homeless shelter, serving food in the soup kitchen and interacting with the people who use the facility on a regular basis. In addition, new immigrants to Lethbridge who are trying to learn English are interviewed by new recruits so they learn how to interact with different ethnic groups, which come from Sudan, Afghanistan, First Nations and Iran. It’s all in an effort to view everybody as equal through the eyes of a police officer. “Our community is getting a lot more diverse than what it once was and our members are starting to see that on a regular basis,” said Community Diversity Resource Team liaison officer Daniel Walton. “Canada is a very diverse country and you have to be able to treat each and everyone equally. It’s part of the job. Diversity training is here now and I think you’ll just see it expand more in the future.” In June 2005, the Kingston Police Service conducted a controversial study on racial profiling, where officers collected data on the age, gender and race of the people Middle left: Klara Debow they stopped.

Her second CD, “Words” was released in 2003. “That first tour was a penance tour,” she said, adding a month was too long for her to spend away from her family, even though she got to play with Tommy Cash and other bigger name musicians. However, once she started getting call backs, she could more or less set her own schedule for her future tours. “It was something I had to do. Now I can allow for two weeks on tour. I couldn’t stay away from my family for that long,” she said, crediting her supportive husband who did most of the leg work as far as finding her a producer and minding the house while she was away, though Larry joined her on one tour. “He has always been the biggest supporter of my music. I couldn’t have done the trips to Europe or Nashville without him.” She would like to tour Europe with Nicki Murray and Kim McCarthy on their CD, “Eliana” (a Hebrew term meaning God has answered). “We all have families, so co-ordinating schedules is a challenge, but if it can be done, we’ll definitely do it,” she said, adding the transition from country music to Christian music was a natural evolution. “I always had a gospel track on the first two CDs.

The Herald editorial says Pooh Bear should not have been brought across two international borders because we have homeless animals in Canada already. One could also argue people should not adopt children from abroad because there are many adoptable children available here in Canada. The lady who brought Pooh Bear to Canada did so because she is a compassionate person who saw an abused, abandoned dog and she knew she could make a difference in the dog’s life. She rescued him from a hopeless situation and provided him with future. She did not do a bad thing; she did a beautiful thing! Undoubtedly she didn’t plan to become ill and not be able to care for Pooh Bear. She didn’t bring him here and drop him off at the Humane Society upon arrival. She brought him here, and cared for him until she could no longer due to her health concerns. We should all be proud of anyone who bestows a selfless act of kindness on any being whether it be human or animal. You should not advocate what cause people choose to donate to. I donate my time and money to several causes, some that benefit people and others that benefit animals and that is my choice. When I heard the Lethbridge Handicapped Riding Association was in need of donations to fix the roof, instead of exchanging Christmas gifts, my husband and I donated what we would have spent on each other to the WHAT OTHERS THINK OUR EDITORIAL: WHAT WE THINK organization. Now I am choosing to donate to this cause. We can all cut corners, live more frugally and give some of our money to those in need. Don’t deter people from donating to save Pooh Bear Workers lured to because you don’t personally agree that it’s a reasonable cause. There are a variety of people in Will Taser talk Lethbridge and a whole lot of possible causes to donate to.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2009 ✦ Lethbridge Herald page – B5 Schneider returns to Canadiens

THE CANADIAN PRESS – MONTREAL

The slumping Montreal Canadiens reached into their past to help their struggling defence and power play on Monday when they acquired veteran Mathieu Schneider from the Atlanta Thrashers. The Canadiens picked up Schneider and a conditional 2009 draft pick in exchange for a second- round pick in 2009 and a third-rounder in 2010. “I’m thankful that it’s Montreal,” said the 39-year-old Schneider, who began his NHL career in Montreal in 1987 and was a member of the last Canadiens team to win a Stanley Cup in 1993. “There were a couple of teams out there, but that it’s Montreal, I can’t say enough.” The Canadiens sent down Ryan O’Byrne to Hamilton of the American Hockey League to make room for Schneider. It was the first of what likely will be many deals around the NHL leading up to the trade deadline on March 4. Montreal general manager Bob Gainey opted to act quickly to snap up a veteran defenceman from a team that has fallen out of the playoff race. The Canadiens, who were near the top of the league Herald photo by Rod Leland a month ago, have only three wins in their last 13 games and are in dire need of a jolt to energize the team. The power play that led the NHL the last two MISSED ME BY THAT MUCH seasons is 25th in the 30-team circuit with a feeble 16.1 The ball narrowly misses Lethbridge Football Club’s Dustin Wever’s right shoulder as he charges in on Calgary Blizzard United’s netminder during a per cent success rate.
