Spurred by inconsistencies in statements and testimony, emotions fray at mass shooting inquiry
RCMP Const. Ian Fahie answers questions Thursday in Dartmouth at the public inquiry into the mass murders in rural Nova Scotia in April 2020. - Andrew Vaughan / The Canadian PresAn RCMP officer testified Thursday that he used a poor "choice of words" in a statement about the death of Heather O’Brien during the mass killing rampage in April 2020.
In an afternoon of testimony and documented statements marked by contrasts and inconsistencies, a lawyer examining witnesses on behalf of the mass killing victims' families said RCMP Const. Ian Fahie's used “loose" words in his statement to the Mass Casualty Commission in October 2021.
“Comparing your direct examination evidence to the evidence you gave to the Mass Casualty Commission, you’ve changed it in significant ways,” lawyer Rob Pineo told Fahie.
Pineo said Fahie was not under oath for his 2021 statement but was under oath when giving evidence Thursday at the inquiry when sequentionally questioned by commission lawyer Roger Burrill and Pineo.
“Knowing how important this information was to the commission and to the families and to the public, you were quite loose with your words, weren’t you,” Pineo said. “You gave no thought to how that might impact the O’Brien family, for instance, when you gave your statement in your loose words regarding her final moments.”
“I wasn’t thinking to hurt the family,” Fahie said. “I wouldn’t say not accurate, I would just say I didn’t use the proper choice of words.”
Fahie and his partner, Const. Devonna Coleman, were working in the Antigonish detachment but travelled to Pictou County and then on to Colchester County to provide assistance after gunman Gabriel Wortman began his killing rampage in Portapique on the evening of April 18, 2020.
The Antigonish constables were the first officers on scene to find O’Brien’s Volkswagen Jetta in the ditch along a tree line after she was shot by the killer on the morning of April 19 on Plains Road in Debert.
Pineo reminded Fahie that in his 2021 statement he said O’Brien was making soft noises when he first approached the Jetta.
“Initially, you thought you felt a pulse,” Pineo said. “You didn’t correct that in your statement, did you?"
Fahie said he read the transcript of his 2021 statement immediately after giving it and read it again last week in preparation for testifying at the inquiry but Pineo said “at no time did you correct your statement, likewise with the pulse.”
Statements made by Fahie that didn’t jibe with statements from Cpl. Duane Ivany, a member of the RCMP emergency medical response team who has paramedical training, have caused the O’Brien family considerable anguish.
In his statement to commission investigators, Fahie suggested that O’Brien had a pulse but was left to die because she was mortally wounded and had no chance of surviving.
“So we... I say, we had to let her die, but you know, we had to let her just pass on,” stated Fahie. “We knew she … like to … I don’t think she was going to make it anyways. So, we got a blanket, covered her up.”
The O’Brien family’s anger was palpable Thursday as the emotions that had been simmering just below the surface throughout the public inquiry came to the fore.
During a long day of oral testimony, Burrill had questioned Fahie about O’Brien’s condition when she was attended to in the Jetta.
“I know I wanted to feel a pulse,” Fahie said. “We wanted people to survive that day. I can’t say for certain if I did feel a pulse or if it was mine but there was no signs of life at that time.”
O’Brien’s daughter said she had had enough and walked out of the Dartmouth hotel conference room where the inquiry was being heard.
O’Brien’s husband, Teddy, said loudly to Fahie, “you’re a (expletive) liar.”
Commission chairman J. Michael MacDonald tried to calm the situation, saying, “this is an enormously difficult time, Mr. O’Brien, I understand that.”
O’Brien shot back: “He (Fahie) can’t go from I felt a pulse to I think I felt a pulse.”
Again, MacDonald interjected “I understand.”
“No, you don’t understand,” O’Brien said. “Let that be your wife in the ditch, would you understand then. No you wouldn’t, not a friggin’ bit.”
Ivany, a 22-year RCMP veteran and the divisional co-ordinator for the emergency medical response team, testified later Thursday.
Ivany said that he and fellow emergency medical response team member Const. Jeff Mahar responded to the O’Brien homicide scene shortly after the Fahie-Coleman pair had arrived.
But Ivany’s and Fahie’s testimonies differed significantly.
Questioned by Pineo, Ivany said he initially thought he had felt a pulse when he examined O’Brien and was preparing an artificial airway for her. Mahar suggested he reassess.
“If this had occurred in an operating room, I do not believe they could have stopped or saved her,” Ivany said of the reassessment of her wounds from the shooting.
Fahie had testified that he was at the driver’s side door of the Jetta and felt a tap on his shoulder and someone, whom he identified as Ivany, told him, “I’ve got this.”
Ivany said that did not happen.
Pineo referenced Fahie’s testimony that he had provided treatment for O’Brien in the Jetta.
But Ivany said when he arrived the windows of the Jetta were up and the doors were closed, either locked or jammed.
Ivany said it is not true that O’Brien had a pulse when he arrived on the scene and he did not recall removing O’Brien from the vehicle.
“Isn’t it true that you thought she was still alive and that’s why you got ready to use the i-gel airway,” Pineo asked.
“Yes,” said Ivany.
“Isn’t it true that when it became known that LifeFlight would not get there, you gave up.”
“No,” Ivany said.
“And covered her with a blanket.”
“I did cover her with a blanket,” Ivany said, adding that O’Brien was deceased when she was covered, contrary to Fahie’s 2021 statement.

RCMP policing costs in Nova Scotia municipalities to rise by average of 11%
Four municipalities considering replacing the RCMP with local police forces, justice minister says
Municipalities across the province will see an average rise in RCMP policing costs of 11 per cent for the 2022-23 fiscal year, Justice Minister Brad Johns confirmed in an interview.
"We do anticipate contacting them [municipalities] within the next week or so and telling them what the impact will be," Johns said Wednesday.
The revelation comes as a commission of inquiry into the mass shooting that killed 22 people in April 2020 examines the RCMP response to the tragedy and its role in rural policing in the province.
"As far as I know, this [increase] is one-time, but it's hard to predict what's going to come in the future," Johns said.
The minister said there hasn't been any discussion within government about potential help from the province, but he pointed out that four municipalities are currently examining the possibility of replacing the RCMP with other local police forces.
"We will work with them the best that we can and ultimately those decisions as to whether or not they continue with the RCMP or look for an alternative are really up to their councils," the minister said.
Municipalities looking at alternatives
Currently, 10 of Nova Scotia's 49 municipalities have their own police service.
One of the areas of the province looking at its options is the Municipality of the County of Colchester.
Mayor Christine Blair said in an email last week that policing costs for the 2021-22 fiscal year were more than $5.2 million, or about 16 per cent of the municipality's budget.
Blair said the money pays for the deployment of six RCMP officers per shift with an understanding that there may be instances — such as illness, vacation or temporary leave — where fewer than six are on duty. A minimum of four officers can operate every shift, she said.
The municipality also pays for specialized services such as a court liaison, a major crimes investigative service and a school safety liaison. In total, there are 34 officers on staff who are dedicated to Colchester, Blair said.
"It should be noted, however, that council has expressed concern over the RCMP's ability to maintain staffing levels since 2015," she said. "These concerns eventually led to a formal request for a review in April 2020, prior to the [mass shooting]."
Blair said that other Canadian municipalities have also shown concern about potential increases to policing costs resulting from Ottawa's new collective agreement with the union for RCMP officers.
Inquiry to inform potential review
According to Johns, the increase for RCMP services reflected in Tuesday's budget includes $3.3 million for staffing.
"Some of this is out of our hands; it's federal decisions," Johns said.
Nova Scotia's contract with the RCMP runs until 2032, and there are regular reviews that are built into the agreement.
But Johns has said he wants to hold off on a potential review until he hears more from the mass shooting inquiry.
"I know there will be recommendations as to how policing is done in the province through that [inquiry]," he said. "The interim report planned to come in May should give some directions."
According to the Justice Department, municipalities are responsible for paying for 70 per cent of RCMP services while the federal government pays 30 per cent.
Neighbour saw mock RCMP car drive away from mass shooting victim in Wentworth
Warning: details included in this story are disturbing
A typical chilly Maritime spring morning, Campbell wore her mittens, scarf and sunglasses, carrying her walking stick and wearing a high-visibility vest as she left home around 9 a.m. She and her husband, Michael Hyslop, lived on Highway 246, just off Highway 4.
The TV, computer and their cellphones were on that morning, but neither had heard anything about an incident in the nearby community of Portapique.
Lillian Campbell of Wentworth, N.S., was killed the morning of April 19, 2020, during the Nova Scotia mass shooting. A gunman killed 22 people, including a pregnant woman. (Betty Campbell)
As Campbell walked a short stretch of highway between her street and another side road — her usual route — an RCMP car passed her.
Documents released Wednesday by the Mass Casualty Commission indicate the car slowed down, changed direction, and pulled up beside Campbell. The man in the police car shot her once at 9:30 a.m., before turning the vehicle around once more and continuing on his way south.
Hyslop wouldn't find out about his wife's death for another hour and a half — and his suspicion was only raised after a call from his stepmother.
The details surrounding Campbell's death on the morning of April 19 in Wentworth, hours after the shooting rampage began in Portapique, are included in a document released Wednesday by the Mass Casualty Commission.
The commission is tasked with examining the events of April 18 and 19, when Gabriel Wortman killed 22 people, including a pregnant woman.
No casings were found at the scene of Campbell's death, so it's "plausible" the gunman shot her at close range from inside his car, according to the commission.
Investigators with the commission gathered details from 911 call logs, interviews and statements from civilian witnesses and RCMP officers on the ground.
Campbell's neighbour Mary-Ann Jay was sewing on the second floor of her home on Highway 4 that morning when she heard a gunshot.
She looked out the window to see what she described as "an RCMP car" slowly turning around and heading south, toward Truro. Jay then saw a body lying on the side of the road, which at first she thought was a mannequin.
But she looked again, and recognized the clothing as Campbell's.
Jay ran out to where Campbell was lying, and believed she was dead. She ran back inside and called 911 at 9:35 a.m.
"Oh my God! The RCMP just left — cause he turned around and went down the road I saw him going," Jay told the dispatcher.
Mary-Ann's husband, Reginald Jay, pulled into the driveway at this time, after completing his routine rounds checking on the seasonal cottages in the area.
He checked Campbell's pulse, and saw she had been shot in the head. Reginald got a blanket to cover her body, and stayed with her on the roadside.
Scott Brumwell, a health-care worker and former paramedic, soon stopped. Reginald told him Mary-Ann was still on the phone with 911, but she'd seen an RCMP car leave the area and he was confused about why it left.
RCMP dispatchers broadcast the details of Mary-Ann's call over both Cumberland and Colchester radio channels at 9:41 a.m. and 9:42 a.m., including how she'd seen a marked RCMP car.
This was the first indication for RCMP members, and the Emergency Response Team still in Portapique, that the gunman was on the move.
Twenty-two people died on April 18 and 19. Top row from left: Gina Goulet, Dawn Gulenchyn, Jolene Oliver, Frank Gulenchyn, Sean McLeod, Alanna Jenkins. Second row: John Zahl, Lisa McCully, Joey Webber, Heidi Stevenson, Heather O'Brien and Jamie Blair. Third row from top: Kristen Beaton, Lillian Campbell, Joanne Thomas, Peter Bond, Tom Bagley and Greg Blair. Bottom row: Emily Tuck, Joy Bond, Corrie Ellison and Aaron Tuck. (CBC)
While waiting for police, the 911 dispatcher told Mary-Ann her husband should go in the house for his own safety, but she responded that they didn't want to leave Campbell's body alone.
"I understand that, but if — if we think someone has been shot there, it may not be safe for them to be outside in that area," the dispatcher said.
They did not tell Mary-Ann about the ongoing active shooter situation, or what had happened in Portapique. Both Reginald and Brumwell stayed with Campbell until the first RCMP officer arrived at 10:09 a.m.
Campbell's husband hears of shooting
Hyslop wasn't expecting his wife back until about 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m., since she had set off for her lengthy walk around 9 a.m.
Around 10:45 a.m., Hyslop's stepmother called to say she'd heard about a woman being shot in Wentworth and that he should "go get Lillian."
Hyslop drove out of their street and immediately saw a large police scene on Highway 4 outside the Jays' house. He said he was surprised, because he hadn't heard sirens.
He spotted someone lying under a blanket on the roadside, and told police at the scene he was looking for his wife who hadn't come home from her walk.
Const. Richard Harvey spoke with Hyslop, who described what Campbell had been wearing, and realized it matched the dead woman. But Harvey knew Staff Sgt. Craig Learning was en route to the scene and "decided to wait" until the higher-ranking member arrived before telling Hyslop anything.
Hyslop was told to wait in his car, which he did for another 15 to 20 minutes until Learning arrived.
Husband learns details from media
Counter and Learning spoke with Hyslop, who showed them a photo of Campbell. Based on that identification, the police told Hyslop his wife was the homicide victim on the roadside.
"I got out of my car, tried standing but found it hard," Hyslop recalled in written answers to the commission.
Hyslop was then taken to his stepmother's home who lived nearby, and returned to his own house later that day. On Sunday afternoon two other RCMP officers came to see him and took a brief statement.
In the following days Hyslop said he got calls from the major crimes and victim services "but was not given details on what actually happened." He said most of the information he received about Campbell's death was from various media sources.
Daughter of N.S. mass shooting victim says RCMP didn't let her say goodbye
Warning: details in this story are disturbing
Mass shooting victim Heather O'Brien, left, is shown with daughters Katie Devine, front, Darcy Dobson, second from right, and Molly O'Brien. (Submitted by Darcy Dobson)The daughter of one of the victims of Nova Scotia's April 2020 mass shooting says she believes RCMP officers denied her the chance to say goodbye to her mother as she lay dying of multiple gunshot wounds on a rural road.
Heather O'Brien was shot in her vehicle by a stranger disguised as a Mountie in Debert, N.S., on April 19, 2020, the 19th victim of the gunman during his 13-hour rampage.
Her family quickly realized something was terribly wrong because she was on the phone with a friend who heard the nurse and mother of eight scream before the line cut out. Her friend immediately called one of O'Brien's daughters, who thought her mother might have been in a car accident.
Another daughter, Michaella Scott, raced to Plains Road and could see her mother's car against a tree with its doors open. By then, two RCMP officers were at the scene and told her it wasn't safe.
"The more I approached, the more aggressive they had got with me telling me that I couldn't be there and needed to leave the scene immediately, all while having their guns drawn," Scott wrote in a statement to the Mass Casualty Commission that was released Thursday, along with a document summarizing what happened that day on Plains Road.
Const. Ian Fahie was the Mountie who first spoke to Scott. He told the inquiry in an interview later that he told Scott "you need to go. It's not safe for you to be here," so she left.
Unbeknownst to Scott at that time, the officers who arrived 15 minutes after the phone call had discovered O'Brien had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to summaries of their statements released by the inquiry.
Thinking she could still be alive, the RCMP officers initially tried to call for an ambulance or a helicopter flight, only to learn the LifeFlight air ambulance would not be flying because of the active shooter situation.
Scott returned home briefly but returned after talking to family in hopes of getting answers about why there was a tarp or blanket beside her mother's car. At that point, she said one of the officers apologized, gave her his card and told her they were conducting a homicide investigation.

"The day burns in the back of my head, they took away my right to hold my mother's hand, to say goodbye, to tell her I loved her one last time," she said in her statement.
Fahie told the commission when he spoke to Scott the second time, he could see she was "very upset." He shared information about O'Brien's death with her, based on her knowledge of the car her mom had been driving and he could hear O'Brien's phone ringing when Scott called it.
In a statement released Thursday afternoon, the O'Brien family said it was disappointed with the information presented to the public regarding O'Brien's death.
The family cites disparities in the information from responding officers about the condition of the vehicle, and a report from Fahie that O'Brien had a "weak pulse" and was making "very faint noises" when he arrived on scene.
In an interview with the commission, Cpl. Duane Ivany, one of two ERT officers with paramedic training who arrived on scene after Fahie, said that he and his partner checked for a pulse at O'Brien's neck, armpit and thigh on both sides of her body. They did not find a pulse.
The family also cites information recorded by O'Brien's FitBit after her death. The commission states it is investigating whether those readings can "shed light on the events on Plains Road."
"We are disappointed that the public is not getting this information, and instead being forced to read through thousands of documents to find anything," reads the statement from the O'Brien family.
O'Brien and her Victorian Order of Nurses colleague Kristen Beaton, who was pregnant and working that morning, were both shot in their vehicles along the same stretch of road in Colchester County.
Though they were both aware police had responded to killings the night before about 25 kilometres away in Portapique, N.S., and knew the name of the suspect and what he looked like, they did not know he was driving a mock police cruiser. Their families have been vocal that had the RCMP shared that information with the public earlier, their loved ones would still be alive.
The two women died around 10 a.m. The RCMP sent their first tweet about the replica cruiser, including a photo, at 10:17 a.m., information their loved ones soon saw circulating on social media.

Beaton's husband, Nick, had been in constant communication with her, providing details about the unfolding situation. Some time before 9 a.m., Beaton posted on a Facebook group for home support workers asking people to "please be safe and keep your eyes open."
Nick Beaton last spoke to his wife less than 20 minutes before she was killed. When she stopped answering his texts and calls, he called her workplace, had her declared a missing person and pushed for her cellphone co-ordinates to be tracked by police.
According to inquiry documents released Thursday, RCMP did not provide Beaton's family with her location and turned a family member away at the crime scene.
The documents show what loved ones of Beaton and O'Brien have always known — their deaths were completely random and both cases of unfortunate timing.
Beaton was a health-care worker, as well as a wife and young mother. (Facebook)
Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Nick Beaton said he's still not happy with the information shared by the inquiry and that he's learned nothing new about what happened to his wife on Plains Road.
However, Beaton said he and the other families have always appreciated that the responding RCMP officers did their best in a "chaotic" situation.
"I'm sympathetic to the ones that were working that day," he said. "It's easy to read [the documents] and say 'I'd have done this or I'd have done that.'"
According to the documents, several drivers witnessed various points of the murders after coming upon the same stretch of Plains Road while Kristen Beaton and Heather O'Brien were parked.
Sara Hughes described being "pretty much almost bumper to bumper" with the gunman because he was "pulling in with no blinkers, no nothing."
Hughes said she saw Beaton's Honda CR-V on the side of the road. She told RCMP investigators five days later how the replica police car did not activate its lights to pull over the CR-V. The man with her, Adam Griffiths, said he was a "hundred per cent" certain on this point.
The pair watched the man who appeared to be a police officer stop beside Beaton's vehicle.
"When [the perpetrator] pulled behind, I just remember looking in my rear-view mirror because he just didn't pull in behind her like someone would that was a — a cop, I mean they usually leave a distance and — like this was right up on her."
Hughes said she watched the man walk up to Beaton's window on the driver's side. She told police she didn't see what happened next, since they were still driving.
Inquiry documents reveal another man, Terry Budd, had just finished a 12-hour shift at the nearby hardware store when he heard popping sounds. As he drove along Plains Road, he slowed down and "proceeded to watch a gentleman shoot the windows out of a smaller car," which would have been O'Brien's.
From about 300 metres away, Budd said he then watched a tall man wearing a bright orange or yellow jacket get into an RCMP vehicle and start "booking it" away from him in the opposite direction.
By that time, RCMP officers were in the vicinity. Two members had been driving on the highway toward Wentworth, where a number of victims had been shot earlier that morning, and many more officers including the emergency response team were in nearby Glenholme responding to a sighting of the gunman.

Various crews rushed to Plains Road to find O'Brien and Beaton in their cars.
At 10:09 a.m. an ambulance had been requested, and one left Truro at 10:18 a.m. However, the ambulance turned around after officers on scene confirmed both victims had died.
Inquiry documents state EHS did not appear to have "dispatched a vehicle in response to the RCMP's request for LifeFlight launch," the inquiry documents said.
According to EHS, the air ambulance began preparing to move the landing zone to the Colchester East Hants Health Centre in Truro "as a staging point."
"Due to the significant safety concerns, it was determined that the best course of action would be to hold them at their base in a ready state."
The gunman continued driving through rural communities, killing three more people, including an RCMP officer, before police eventually came upon him at a gas station in Enfield, approximately 50 kilometres outside of Halifax, and killed him on the spot.
Mental health support
Public hearings for the inquiry are now on break until April 11. The inquiry has built in scheduled breaks as part of its trauma-informed approach.
As disturbing details continue to be released from the Mass Casualty Commission, there are various mental health and trauma support services available.
Nova Scotia Health offers online mental health services. The province's toll-free mental health crisis line at 1-888-429-8167, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
People can also call 211 to access mental health support programs.

Executive Director Valerie MacCullam will receive the certificate on behalf of the society.
Frank Leonardi - Moncton
Frank Leonardi is being recognized for the OK Kids program, which was initiated in 2005 in the Greater Moncton area. The program helps children 6-16 understand, and allows them to cope, with the trauma of parental incarceration, and to reduce the possibility of intergenerational criminal behaviour. Statistics show that children of the incarcerated are five to six times more likely to become involved in criminal behaviour if there are no programs or activities aimed at helping them. The support group allows children to develop a sense of community while teaching them social skills such as communication, teamwork, providing feedback, expressing empathy, where to get help and how to ask for it, and building healthy trust. A new spinoff program, OK Families, works at establishing and maintaining relationships with the family unit during the incarcerated period, not just when the incarcerated person is released. Both programs are initiatives of the Salvation Army, Leonardi's employer, and he has dedicated much of his own time to into running them. He is also a founding member of Restorative Justice New Brunswick.

Rothesay Regional Police Force
The Rothesay Regional Police Force has long held the philosophy that having a crime-free community takes effort at the front end. With that philosophy in mind, several members of the force decided resurrect the Kennebecasis Valley High School football program. After several meetings, 60 students came forward wanting to be members of the 2008 team. The value of having police officers interacting with impressionable young males in this venue is immeasurable. These youth now see police officers in a completely different light, and relationships have developed between not only the students and police officers, but also with the teaching staff and parents. The crime prevention effects will be felt for years to come as these students are continually encouraged to make wise and healthy choices in their lives. Those officers being recognized are: Const. Shawn Couglan, Const. Matt Marsh, Const. Aaron Haines, Const. Jason Murray, Const. Eugene Belliveau, Aux. Const. Jeff Wilson, Aux Const. Chika Ikejiani, and Deputy Chief Steve Palmer.
Business Crime Prevention Excellence Award

Turple has been a TADD co-ordinator for the past five years, and is also a volunteer member of the board of directors of the Bathurst Youth Centre. Three years ago, she initiated several programs in Bathurst schools. These included:
- Lunch with a Cop Program - This is a partnership between the police, schools and the local McDonald's restaurant. Each week, school authorities select a child who has done a good deed during the week, and that child then has a lunch date with Turple, with transportation in a patrol car to and from McDonald's.
- Special Constable Program: Each month a child is chosen from a good-citizenship ballot box to make a trip to the police station, have his or her fingerprints taken, have a photograph taken with the chief of police, then visit city hall where he or she signs the guest book and receives a gift bag.
- "Officer Ted" Teddy Bear Program: This program takes place at kindergarten classes at two schools in Bathurst. Each week a child takes the teddy bear named Officer Ted home for an overnight visit. The child is asked to keep a journal of the visit, what they did and where they went during the visit. At the end of the school year, each child's name is put into a box, with the winner taking Officer Ted home to keep. Turple has kept all of the past journals.
- Each K-2 and grades 3-5 class at two Bathurst elementary schools are asked to put all good citizenship ballots in a box. At the end of the year, one entry from each category and each school is selected, and Turple rewards the child with a large gift basket. This initiative is funded solely by Turple.
Turple has also been a cadet officer with the local sea cadet corps for the past three years. In the line of duty she has responded to many calls, and was the first Bathurst police officer on the scene of the tragic motor vehicle accident in January, which involved members of the Bathurst High basketball team. She carried out her duties calmly and thoroughly while investigating the accident scene. Later the same day, she visited the hospital to console loved ones of the injured and deceased. Ouellette said that he has received numerous compliments and comments from parents, teachers and residents complimenting her on the outstanding work she did during that very difficult time.
Hall of Fame Award
Al Ingraham began helping those in need 20 years ago with Cons for Christ, and for the past 13 years has been a full-time chaplain with Bridges of Canada.
Ingraham uses his experiences to reach out to those in need, and because of his past, they are drawn to him and open up to talk about their situations. He can relate to those men because he has been in the same situation.
Ingraham has an open-door policy at the Bridges of Canada Victory Centre. He spends most of his days between halfway houses, shelters, and various community kitchens and prisons in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Each December, he organizes a Christmas social for the inmates at Dorchester Institute, arranging for up to 20 volunteers. This is a major feat, as background checks must be performed on the volunteers before they are permitted into the institute.
Ingraham is the only outsider allowed in the detox centre in Fredericton, as he is the centre's chaplain. He is also the Fredericton community chaplain for the Province of New Brunswick, and works with young offenders through probation services and provincial jails through the Department of Public Safety.
Ingraham leads a weekly Overcomers Meeting, which is a 12-step Christian-based program. The men in the program seek him out for advice after being released from institutions. They talk about things of concern to them, such as how to adjust to life outside prison, or how to deal with a situation or event. He has defused many potentially dangerous situations, and turned them into positive outcomes. In many cases, his friendship has caused people to reconsider actions that could have led to unlawful acts.
Ingraham's life is devoted to helping those involved in the criminal system make their way back to the community as law-abiding citizens.
Heather Brown
Heather Brown began teaching at the Grand Manan Community School 20 years ago as the home economics teacher, and her passion to help others led her to her current position as a guidance counsellor. She is also very active in her community. In 1997 she became part of Community Reach, a committee formed to help island residents find solutions to serious drug and alcohol problems that were plaguing the community.
Brown organized the first Awareness Day fair at her school to deal with drugs and alcohol. She implemented the R.E.S.P.E.C.T program with the assistance of Rose Stewart and Karey Ingalls, and implemented the TADD and DARE programs in the school. She joined with the RCMP and retired RCMP Const. Ken Smith to set up a youth forum and a restorative justice group in the school. This was the first of its kind in New Brunswick, and was responsible for much healing in the community. She also implemented the 40 developmental assets program for youth at the school. Using the developmental assets, the School Youth Action team is focusing on building volunteerism and getting involved in the community.
Brown continues to sit as member of the Grand Manan Community Program board. She has also volunteered as a Beaver Scouts leader, and is a member of the local curling rink. She has a passion for scrapbooking, and volunteers her time to teach others in the community. Her nominator, Karey Ingalls, said that, "Heather is one of the backbones of this community. She is gentle, kind and nice to everyone, and her soft-spoken ways are endearing."
06-11-08Mountie proceeds with suit against bosses
A Fredericton RCMP officer is suing his superiors, claiming they harassed him and forced him out of the job.
Staff Sgt. Ken Smith lost his job in Saint John as head of drug investigations. He now does background checks for firearms.
He beat out Edward MacEachern for the job, but says superior officers Daniel LeFebvre and James Payne then conspired to discredit and harass him because they preferred MacEachern.
- INDEPTH: Operation Harassment
"We see a 30-year member of the RCMP subjected to secretive surveillance, subjected to unwarranted criminal investigation," said Richard Bell, Smith's lawyer, "and in our view subjected to unwarranted disciplinary investigations only because he received a promotion over someone one of his superiors wanted to have in that position."
Bell took Smith's case to court, arguing that the RCMP failed to deal fairly with Smith's complaint. Justice Paulette Garnett agreed. The court ordinarily stays out of disputes between the RCMP and employees because the force has a dispute resolution process, but the judge granted Smith's the right to sue because the internal process wasn't working.
The hearing on Thursday was about Smith's right to sue. There is no court date for the lawsuit itself yet, because the RCMP has 30 days to appeal Thursday's ruling.
"Smith says that the system is so flawed that he has been deprived of any meaningful remedy for the wrongs that have been done to him," she said. "He has presented compelling evidence, most of which was gathered by members of the RCMP, that in his case the scheme failed repeatedly. He has lost faith in its fairness and so have I."
The ruling could open the door to other disgruntled officers taking their complaints agains the RCMP to court, rather than dealing with them internally.
Sgt. Terry Lee Kennedy said the RCMP is reviewing the decision.
"We're considering the possibility of an appeal," said Kennedy. "Our argument is that this is an employee-employer issue, and that our grievance and administrative procedure in the RCMP should be used."
But Smith says the system failed him, and he'll continue with the suit even though it's already cost him a career and friends.
"I truly only have a few friends who communicate with me on a daily basis," he said. "I have a large number of friends, however, they have been intimidated to the point they are almost afraid to communicate with me openly.
"I've lost a very interesting career and I don't see that ever coming back."

December 11, 2003 RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli Solicitor General of Canada Wayne Easter Deputy Solicitor General Nicole Jauvin c/o Michael Kergin The Consulate General of Canada Three Copley Place, Suite 400 Boston, MA 02116, Sirs and Madame, We are certainly a well-mixed bunch of Canadians. Ambassador Kergin was born in a Canadian military hospital in Bramshott, England, on April 26th, 1942. At the time his father was likely in the Canadian military fighting against the Axis Powers in Italy etc. Commissioner Zaccardelli was born and raised in Italy until the age of seven when he then moved to Canada with his family. He was free to do so because of the sacrifice of our forefathers to free the world of fascists and their efforts towards a New World Order of their own. Wayne Easter and I were born to be free men of the Maritimes. Byway of his political good fortune he has been appointed as the Solicitor General of Canada to speak for all other Canadian Citizens even this little old scooter tramp. The funny part is Mr. Easter is not a lawyer and yet it is perfectly acceptable for him to speak to Attorney General Ashcroft on my behalf. On the other hand, Ashcroft has denied me the right to speak on behalf of the interests of my own wife, my children and myself in the USA. This has been done even though I have every right to do so under her Durable Power of Attorney, my rights as a father and the right to protect my own interests. If anyone should understand me and speak up on my behalf it is Mr. Easter. The reason I send the enclosed documents is because of his words as follows: "The IBETs are but one example of the tremendous cooperation between our two countries to keep our citizens safe and secure. Our partnership has grown to become an international model of how two countries can, and should work together on trans-border crime and terrorism issues," said Mr. Easter. Mr. Ashcroft and Mr. Easter also signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to improve the method and speed of fingerprint data sharing between the RCMP and the FBI. It builds on an agreement signed last December and is a clear demonstration of the Smart Border Declaration's call for an accord allowing the exchange of information between law enforcement agencies in the two countries. " Obviously you know it all anyway. Please find enclosed an exact copy of letters with all enclosures except the copy of the wiretap tape sent yesterday to Mr. Richardson of the FBI and The Carter Center. This is done to support my allegations. If I disappear someone will bring a great deal of evidence to the proper Canadian Authorities to aid in their search for me. All that I can say for now is thanks for nothing. I will go it alone as usual. Did the person who called me back on November 19/03 really think that Ashcroft would let me use the payphone in Cuba in order to call the Canadian Consulate for help? He also should learn a little something about privacy before he tries to teach anything to the newcomer in your office named Kim. I should not have to ask who else is listening to our private conversation. He should tell me first then ask my permission to include her. I am wondering if he is a lawyer. It is better that I keep my own counsel if he is the best you have to offer. Besides, I can't trust any authority and the RCMP in particular. I have already written a great deal about why that is. Where I go and why is nobody' business, as I said if perchance I disappear, a friend of mine will see that you receive much evidence for you all to investigate and make your inquiries as to my whereabouts. Considering the Commissioner's stated expertise about the mob he should well understand what the people are talking about on the many tape recordings. At the very least I have now made you witnesses to my pursuit of justice in the USA. If the Commissioner someday doubts the recordings are genuine, perhaps he should call the people recorded and ask them if they knew they were being recorded before he calls me a liar. I am still pissed of about the RCMP calling me a drug-dealing member of a bike gang. I swear, the next time a cop even suggests that of me I will sue him and his little dog too and point at the RCMP for starting that slander. I had attempted to report the unwillingness of the RCMP to investigate my matters to the so-called independent folks in BC only to be informed that it would be the RCMP that would investigate their own selves. Well, I have seen that before and I know for a fact that won't wash. It appears that Commissioner Zaccardelli and I have crossed paths before. He was the Officer in Charge of Criminal Operations in New Brunswick from 1989 to 1993, was instrumental in initiating and overseeing investigations during his time in J Division. I was one of the people that he investigated. All allegations made against me were false but that did not stop the RCMP from recording their suspicions of me on all the police computer networks. As a result I have been harassed many times over the years and almost shot twice by trigger-happy Yankee cops. The reason the RCMP were so diligent in trying to make me appear like a bad dude was because they knew I was more than capable of exposing some of their wrongs. Life is too short to battle big crooked government officials and small town gossips, so I split. The Maritimes is a very small place in a great big world but I do miss it alot sometimes. Now that my new little family in the USA is under attack, I had no choice but to make a stand. Now I must leave them in order to protect them from foul play against me. When the FEDS down here started acting poorly I had nowhere else to ask for help but from but the Solicitor General of my native land. Turns out Mr. Easter is just another politician. I will wager that I am more popular in many circles on PEI than he is because I am not a double-talking politician. There are many men employed by the Canadian government that I have known for a long time that do know the truth I state. I will have much to say in my book about cover-ups practiced by the RCMP that I have known to exist in the Maritimes. If Mr. Easter chooses to recall there are a few disgraceful happenings on PEI. The RCMP actually enlisted my services to investigate, testify, and give my expert opinion as to the cause of one man's demise. But when I pointed my finger at a killer cop, the RCMP didn't like me anymore. However the lawyer for the widow of the dead man wasn't long hiring me to prove it and the RCMP were even quicker settling a civil lawsuit out of court and the public view. I have my own ghosts to answer to because if I had been more outspoken, maybe other people would not died in similar circumstances after that time. If the Commissioner is concerned about what the CBC has recently said about him and his actions in New Brunswick he is going to find my words very upsetting. I will be sending the Dudes at CTV some stuff shortly. Please view their email to me last year and also proof of the fact that I had made the CBC and Argeo Cellucci the US Ambassador to Canada well aware of my concerns on July 16/02. I have included four other documents in this letter. They are rather telling things. One is my affidavit that I served upon the U.S. Attorney in New Hampshire on March 31st 2003. Another is a Cinderella Affidavit sold to me by the Carver Police Dept on July 16th 2003. One day after I served the U. S. Attorney my affidavit, the Secret Service were at my door investigating false allegations made against me. The second document relates to events one day after I faxed and mailed Attorney General Ashcroft. My wife and I were pulled out of a line of cars by three cop cars and charged with speeding immediately after leaving court. The first words out of the cop's mouth were a joke about the conspiracy against me. After I easily beat him in court, I demanded a copy of his Affidavit that was read to the court. I was refused and was told I could get a copy of it from the cop shop the next day. I later received a newly worded one with the wrong date and the cop refused to sign it. Please notice that a speeding stop had turned into a Secret Service stop. It is a classic example of a Cinderella Affidavit smiliar to what the General Counsel to the Board Of Bar Overseers Michael Fredrickson writes about. The really funny part is that he taught at Mount Allison University when the Commissioner and I were stomping around there area and he as fined by the Ethic Commission for writing the book on the state's time and used its resources. Please notice that the Secret Service is still investigating me rather than Bank Fraud. The fact that the cops were harassing us was no coincidence when you look what I filed in New Hampshire the week before. In the third document you will see that the very next day on my birthday two other cops tried to arrest me for no reason whatsoever while I waited in court for a properly marked motion to be heard in Norfolk Probate Court. Last week another cop came right through a closed door without a warrant and without asking to enter in an effort to hassle me. The instant I tried to give him some wiretap tapes in front of a witness he couldn't run away fast enough just like the two cops from Canton. I think they will leave me alone for awhile until they come up with a new plan. In the fourth document you can see that the Bulgers and Congressman Lynch know it all. As I say in the enclosed documents I have now taken up bounty hunting. I find it very interesting that I can find no record of what happened after September 11th 2001. That day that it was reported that some bones were found in Deerfield Nova Scotia. Did Ashcroft ask you to quit looking? Would some please tell me the results of your investigations in NS in order to aid in my search for Whitey Bulger. My family needs the money so that I may hire many lawyers to sue many other lawyers. I have already proved my point that they are all crooks. It is for lawyers to waltz along behind with all the legal crap that follows. I will fight fire with fire so to speak. Almost one year ago I notified many Deans of Canadian Law Schools that I would be looking to hire new lawyers yet tainted by the system. It appears that they have ignored me. Now I will approach their students. Not all lawyers are unethical. I judge it best to search for honest ones amongst the youngest of us. After all it is their future that the old crooks are messing with. In the "Mean" time I am going hunting alone. Trust me I find it far more fun than arguing with liars that hold all the cards within a corrupt system. The last but far from least of the documents I have included is a copy of my filing in New Hampshire US District Court on May 15th 2003 and related letters. Please notice that the clerk caused it to disappear from the public record fraudulently claiming that I had filed it on May 16th 2003. The other matters that Judge McAuliffe refers to seem to have disappeared from the public record as well. If you don't like my words or my pissed off attitude, sue me. I Double Dog Dare you. It will just speed up my sincere effort to place the shame where it belongs and that is upon all of you. I am emailing this document around the world to prove what big media already knows. Anyone can view all the documents that I refer to and a great deal more at the following web address: http:// briefcase.yahoo.com/ crap then start surfing. The tiff files are easily viewed by the old Kodak imaging program found in most Windows software. The Mp3 files speak for themselves. I just struck myself dumb. Cya'll in Court:) David R.
