Terrace police began setting up
roadblocks at random locations
on a daily basis at the end of
November, The action is a prel-
ude to the annual CounterAttack
campaign to keep drunks off the
road.

Cpl. Garry Moritz says the
local detachment is starting early
because they have found in the
past that the roadblocks some-

should be arranging for a desig-
nated driver or alternative means
of transportation prior to going
out for an evening of entertain-
ment."

Local residents are being
warned not to contribute money
to an organization calling itself
the B.C. Police Aid Association.
The warning comes from the

times take time to have their
desired effect of deterring
drunks from getting behind the
wheel.

The first drivers that went
through roadblocks set up on the
evenings of Nov. 28 and 29
were both charged with impaired
driving. Moritz suggests, "People

Comox resident Ian Patrick

Leross, 20, became Terrace’s first
traffic fatality of 1991 when he
died instantly after being struck by
a pickup truck in a Greig Ave.
crosswalk. Leross, a former resi-
dent of Terrace, was staying with
his grandparents while he attended
Northwest Community College.
The accident occurred shortly
before 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec.
4. Leross was using a crosswalk at
the north end of the Sande Over-
pass when a northbound vehicle
driven by a 25-year-old Terrace

onto Greig Ave, Terrace RCMP
say visibility was poor at the time
of the accident and Leross would
have been difficult to see. Accord-
ing to police, it was dark, raining,
and Leross was wearing dark col-

_ oured clothing. An RCMP investi-

gation continues.
Reports that the ambulance

about 17 minutes, proved to be
false. The RCMP were informed
of the accident at 7:57 a.m. and
passed the information on to am-
bulance dispatch in Kamloops
within one minute. An ambulance
was dispatched immediately and
computerized records in Kamloops
show that the ambulance was at
the scene of the accident 4% min-
utes later.

Region 6/7 B.C. Ambulance
superintendent Kelly Murphy says
it is not unusual to hear witnesses
testify to slow ambulance response
and it is generally caused by one
of two things. The most common
is a matter of perception — in any
emergency situation a minute
seems like 10, and 10 minutes
seem like an hour.

medical emergencies such as short-
ness of breath and scizures. Ter-
race BCAS paramedics also trans-
ported three people to hospital due
to trauma caused by incidents such
as household or industrial acci-

The other reason can be far more
serious. When an accident occurs,
everyone at the scene assumes help
is on the way. After five minutes
or more of waiting, though, people
begin to ask, "Did anyone call an

ambulance?"

This is where training becomes
important, says Murphy. A trained
person knows what can go wrong

and assumes control of the situ-.

ation. While he attends to the
victim’s injuries, he very specifi-
cally directs one individual to
advise appropriate

protoco] that could save a life.

total of 23 calls during the week

and injury to three people.

Special thanks from all Terrace
paramedics — In the accident
which took the life of 20-year-old
lan Patrick Leross, two individuals
were instrumental in assisting
paramedics. One was a bystander
who witnessed the accident, ad-
ministered CPR while waiting for
the ambulance to arrive, and
assisted in the ambulance as the
young man was transported to
Mills Memorial Hospital. The
other is a Terrace RCMP officer,
who backed up the efforts of the
first by administering mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation.
