Motorists who think they’re okay to drive after ‘just a couple of drinks’ at any time, especially during the holidays, should think twice before deciding to get behind the wheel. The Chatham-Kent Police Service launched its annual Festival Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere program last Wednesday. The CKPS set up a total of 39 R.I.D.E. spot checks in all of 2023. When the police set up their traditional first spot check on Keil Dr. S. in Chatham last Wednesday evening, it was their 40th R.I.D.E. of 2024. “We’ve stepped up the amount of R.I.D.E.’s were conducting,” said Cst. Lisa Rodger, who is heading up this year’s Festival program. “You’re going to see us out in full force, not only the Festival R.I.D.E. programs but guys on general patrol as well; they’ll be setting up R.I.D.E. programs whenever they have a chance.” Rodger said you can expect to see spot checks at any time of the day across Chatham-Kent. “We understand it’s the holiday season; people like to celebrate, but do it responsibly,” Rodger said. “If you plan to drink, designate a driver, call a taxi, use a ride-share service or arrange alternative transportation.” “We want to ensure everyone is safe on our roads,” she said. Of the 39 R.I.D.E. spot checks set up by the CKPS this year, a total of 4,502 vehicles have been stopped, resulting in 14 roadside checks, one three-day suspension, no Criminal Code charges and five Highway Traffic Act tickets. In 2023, the CKPS conducted 39 R.I.D.E. spot checks, stopping 6,581 vehicles, resulting in two three-day suspensions, three Criminal Code charges, and eight HTA tickets. The West Region of the Ontario Provincial Police also began its Festival R.I.D.E. program last week. They will be setting up spot checks on OPP patrolled roads in Chatham-Kent. The local Festival R.I.D.E. programs are conducted in partnership with the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police and receive provincial funding. The province-wide program traditionally begins on National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims, which is observed on the third Wednesday to honour and remember those who lost their lives or were seriously injured in preventable road crashes. Chatham-Kent Police’s first spot check is traditionally set up on Keil Dr. N., between McNaughton Ave. W. and Baldoon Road, in remembrance of the Pie Ladies – Verna Neaves, Marion Dawson, Jean Ripley and Bernice Phillips – who were killed when their vehicle was struck head-on by an impaired driver in the early evening hours of Saturday, Nov. 24, 2007, as they were returning from a church function. “Every life lost in a road crash is a life filled with potential, dreams and loved ones,” Rodger said. “Behind every statistic is a family member, a friend, a colleague – a person whose absence leaves an irreplaceable void.” “In remembering these victims, we not only honour their memories, but we also renew our commitment to preventing further tragedies,” she said. Rodger said the choices people make to get behind the wheel can change lives instantly. “A decision to drive impaired may seem harmless or justifiable at the moment, but the consequences can be far-reaching,” Rodger said. “From crashes that cause injury or death to the long-term effects on families and communities, no one wins when impaired driving takes place.” Rodger said it is still “frustrating” to officers when they attend an accident and find it is alcohol or drug-related, despite all of the ‘don’t drink and drive’ campaigns and education. “It is frustrating to know that it could have been prevented,” she said. “Just don’t get behind the wheel is our message; find an alternative ride.” Inspector Mike Thompson said the CKPS doesare okay with when people post about the location of spot checks on social media. “Setting up R.I.D.E. lanes isn’t just to detect people who are actually out there driving when they shouldn’t be; it’s also hopefully an awareness part and deterrent,” Thompson said. “If people find out about them on social media and if that prevents someone from getting behind the wheel, we’re quite happy with that.”Buchanan scores 28 off the bench, Boise State downs South Dakota State 83-82

Referring to the victory of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-Congress alliance in Jharkhand Assembly polls, the Congress chief said, “The people of Jharkhand have given priority to the issues of their rights, water, forests and land. They have rejected the politics of divisiveness and lies. They have defeated the game of misuse of constitutional institutions.’’ Extending his warm wishes to Chief Minister Hemant Soren, he said, “We have to fight for social justice, raise the voice of the people, and form an accountable government.” On Maharashtra poll outcome, Leader of Opposition in Lower House and former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in a post on X wrote, “The results of Maharashtra are unexpected and we will analyse them in detail.

AdvertisementFormer Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett is officially receiving his first start of the season. With Eagles starting quarterback Jalen Hurts ruled out with a concussion , suffered against the Commanders last weekend, Pickett is stepping into the starting spot for the Eagles this weekend against the Cowboys. Pickett received his first extended action of the season last weekend against the Commanders, playing most of the game in a loss. He completed 14-of-24 pass attempts for 143 yards with a touchdown and interception, adding 13 yards on the ground, in relief. He wasn’t perfect, but he also wasn’t helped by his playmakers either. Wideout DeVonta Smith dropped a pass over the middle field just before the two-minute warning, which allowed the Commanders a chance to come back and win the game, 36-33. Now official: Eagles ruled out QB Jalen Hurts for Sunday’s game vs. Dallas due to his concussion. Eagles QB Kenny Pickett now will replace Hurts. pic.twitter.com/I4RcuVzzZo — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 27, 2024 It was a gutsy effort by Pickett, who said he was good to go earlier this week after dealing with a rib injury against the Commanders. He has a chance to show that he’s continued to grow since arriving in Philadelphia in March. The Steelers traded Pickett to the Eagles on March 16, after spending two seasons with the team. And even through a disappointing tenure with the Steelers, Pickett reflected positively on his time in Pittsburgh. “(I) gave everything I had there and loved all of my teammates and coaches that I came across — some absolutely great memories that I’ll take forever and lifelong friendships,” Pickett said following the trade. “And just talking to guys after it all went down, grateful that we had the time we had together.” Pickett was one of the best quarterbacks in college football in 2021, completing 334-of-497 pass attempts (67%) for 4,319 yards with 42 touchdowns and seven interceptions — adding 241 yards and five more touchdowns on the ground. He finished his Pitt career as the all-time leader in passing yards, completions, total offense, touchdowns responsible for and passing touchdowns. He’s thrown the most 300-yard passing games (16) and 400-yard passing games (five) and his 32 wins are the most as a Pitt starter. Pickett completed 1,045-of-1,674 career passing attempts (just over 62%) for 12,303 yards and 81 touchdowns, to just 32 interceptions, in 52 career appearances (49 starts). He also added 809 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. He led Pitt to its first ACC title in 2021, earning All-ACC, All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist honors. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Kenny Pickett threw for 4,474 yards (62.6% completion) with 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in his 25 games as a Steeler, and while he wasn’t put in the best situation to succeed in the NFL, his lack of production was problematic. The Steelers brought signed Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in March, and it spelled the end for Pickett and the Steelers.

Utah Valley St. 77, West Georgia 74VIDEO: Watch as Koop and Klein question CBC’s focus on MLA’s social media commentsBy ERIC TUCKER WASHINGTON (AP) — A ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday. Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies , as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China’s hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals.” Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense how many Americans overall were affected by Salt Typhoon, in part because the Chinese were careful about their techniques, but a “large number” were in the Washington-Virginia area. Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are “primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, something the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cyber security practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking.
