As Crime Stoppers enters its 25th year in 2012, it is important to remind ourselves about the hard work and dedication of the Crime Stoppers family – its partners, administrators and volunteers who play a vital role in making life better for families in Nova Scotia. The Department of Justice supports your efforts. Fighting crime is a shared responsibility and we applaud all of those involved in this effort. As a retired police officer with more than 35 years of experience in municipal and RCMP policing, I know this first-hand. Government, businesses, police agencies, special interest groups, and the public - we all have a role to play. Once more, I want to thank you for your efforts. You are doing a great service for your community and you are helping to build a province that is safer and better for Nova Scotians. On behalf of Premier Darrell Dexter and the Government of Nova Scotia, I wish you continued success for the next quarter century. Sincerely, The Honourable Ross Landry Attorney General Minister of Justice 13th Annual Awareness Guide 3 When planning your next trip, remember we’ve planned for your every need. • Complimentary 24 hour airport shuttle service-5 minutes to Halifax Airport • Full service restaurant, room service and lounge • 2400 square feet of meeting space • 145 deluxe guestrooms • Complimentary parking & high speed internet • Indoor mineral pool & exercise room Halifax Airport 4 13th Annual Awareness Guide www.crimestoppers.ns.ca www.capebretoncrimestoppers.ca John O’Reilly For the seventh year as president of Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association, it is my profound honour and pleasure to bring greetings on behalf of myself and our volunteers to our police and media partners. I would also like to recognize our supporters and partners. Without the commitment of all involved in Crime Stoppers, we would not be enjoying the tremendous success that we have since 1987. 2012 will mark the 25th anniversary of Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association. From our humble beginnings, our program has grown to be an effective tool for law enforcement. Our statistics speak loud and clear. At our present rate, 2012 will see recovered stolen property reach $4,000,000.00. We should also see seizures of illegal drugs reach a total of $10,000,000.00. And the simple reason as to why we succeed is our volunteers. These committed and dedicated citizens are truly one of the very best Crime Stoppers teams in the world. We are very fortunate to have volunteers that have been with this program since our first public meeting and we have many members with more than 20 years of service to this program. We are still seeking out new initiatives that would see us develop our existing partnerships in areas of cross boarding smuggling, human trafficking and all serious crimes that affect every citizen of this province. In the near future, look for Crime Stoppers to expand our focus and efforts concerning crimes perpetrated against our youth and our seniors. Finally, I would like to recognize our tipsters. Whether you have contacted us by telephone, the internet or text tips, or if your motivation was the cash award or anonymity, you too have made a difference for the safety and security of your fellow citizens.

In our efforts to prevent and solve crime, Crime Stoppers plays a critical role assisting police by providing a way for concerned citizens to supply police organizations like the R.C.M.P with information. The volunteers who give thousands of hours to Crime Stoppers ensure a critical link between the public and front-line officers and have a direct impact on our crime reduction efforts. The Crime Stoppers program is an excellent example of how to build positive relationships between several different municipal organizations, government bodies and law enforcement agencies, and then leverage those partnerships for the safety of cities and towns in Nova Scotia. The RCMP is proud to support the Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association. We look forward to many more years of continued partnership and success.

Beazley On behalf of Halifax Regional Police, I am delighted to congratulate you on the 25th Anniversary of the Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association. Thinking back to your inception, I recall Crime Stoppers getting off the ground from within its first office in Police Headquarters on Gottingen Street in Halifax. Your growth as an organization is remarkable and your assistance to police agencies over the last two and a half decades has been invaluable. Crime Stoppers has enabled police arrests in excess of 2,700 people, laid more than 6,200 charges and cleared over 5,300 cases; your efforts in combatting and solving crime have significantly contributed to creating safe communities in our Province. Further, programs such as Crime Stoppers would not thrive in the same way without the commitment of many members and volunteers. I would like to personally thank all members and volunteers of the Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association. We greatly value the time and effort you put forth in making Crime Stoppers a respectable and reliable agency that members of our community can rely on and trust. Halifax Regional Police recognizes and supports Crime Stoppers as an effective and valuable investigative program in solving crimes. We encourage all members of the community to continue to support Crime Stoppers to help make our communities safe places in which to live, work and play. Yours truly, Frank A. Beazley, O.O.M.

I am also very pleased to have this opportunity to congratulate Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers on 25 years of successful operation in the province of Nova Scotia! The incredible success of the program since its inception in 1987 is reflected in the statistics found on page 25.

On behalf of NS Crime Stoppers, I would like to thank the many businesses and citizens in Nova Scotia for their generous support of Crime Stoppers. Their generosity has helped tremendously with the success of the program and the Annual Awareness Guides.

The crime occurred in a very well traveled part of the city. The victim, Michael Carmen, only two weeks from marrying his high school sweetheart, was filling in for a friend who needed that shift off. This young man would die approximately four hours after being shot for no apparent reason. He did cooperate with the robbers and turned over the $36.00 in the cash register. MacAleese was frustrated that no one would come forward with information on this crime. He determined that there were two reasons for the public’s lack of confidence in their police department. First, citizens were apathetic. In other words, “why bother,” or “what’s in it for me?” Second, fear of criminal retaliation. Many citizens in Albuquerque believed that if they did come forward with information that they would be the criminal’s next victims. Determined that this case could be solved, MacAleese approached his chief of police, local business and the media with an idea. To overcome apathy, local businesses offered a cash award as an incentive for anyone with information to call police. To overcome fear of criminal retaliation, they would offer callers complete anonymity. A local television station agreed to re-enact this crime in September. The re-enactment aired at approximately 10:45 PM during their newscast. By 8:00 AM the next morning this crime was solved. Impressed with the results, MacAleese sought the support of the chief of police to continue this type of approach to solving crimes. The chief agreed that if Crime Stoppers could solve 30 serious crimes by the end of the year he would consider making it permanent and part of Albuquerque Police Department’s fight against crime. In fact, in the next four months, Crime Stoppers solved 300 crimes. Crime Stoppers took off! The program grew, and in October 1980, Crime Stoppers uSA had 59 programs. Then in August 1983, Crime Stoppers International was formed to reflect the worldwide interest in this unique program. Today, there are more than 1,700 programs worldwide and we all operate exactly the same way. We offer cash awards and complete anonymity. The Partners - The Volunteers Crime Stoppers is a partnership between the community, the police and media. Each partner has a distinct and important role in the success of our program. Crime Stoppers is administered and overseen by volunteers from communities around Nova Scotia. Without doubt, each volunteer brings a strong belief in safe homes and safe communities to this successful investigative tool for our police agencies. You will see our volunteers at community events promoting the many successes attributed to Crime Stoppers. They are charged with the fundraising for cash awards. They also determine the cash awards and even pay those awards. The Partners - The Police The police receive the tips and pass them on to the appropriate investigating agency. The police provide information on crimes so we can research and write the Crime of the Week features that you read about in your local newspapers, hear on a radio station or view on television. The information from tipsters is assessed and passed on to the appropriate investigating agency. They promote Crime Stoppers through public speaking and public service announcements. The Partners - The Media The media’s role is to keep Crime Stoppers in the public domain. Whether it’s the Crime of the Week, a public service announcement or promoting the many successes of Crime Stoppers, their role is vital to the overall success of the program. The media reassure the public that this program works. The Crime Stoppers program is very fortunate to have our Crime of the Week feature and Public Service Announcements donated by the media. A successful Crime Stoppers Program could not function as well without this kind of support. 1976 – 2010 like any other successful idea, Crime Stoppers has seen a steady growth since its inception. Crime Stoppers Albuquerque grew to Crime Stoppers New Mexico to Crime Stoppers uSA and in 1981, became Crime Stoppers International (CSI) when the first program outside the united States started in Calgary, Alberta. Crime Stoppers was introduced to the citizens of this province in 1987. Today, there are over 1,700 programs worldwide. All programs operate with the complete guarantee of anonymity and cash awards. CSI has been recognized by Interpol as an effective crime-fighting organization. CSI has also been recognized by the united Nations. The statistics accumulated since its beginnings are truly amazing. Worldwide tipsters have been responsible for 858,467 offenders arrested; 1,332,880 cases have been cleared; property valued at $2,068,320,374.00 recovered and returned to the rightful owners, and drugs valued at $7,913,021,787.00 removed from our streets as of December 20, 2010. Who would have thought that such a simple and grass-roots idea would have such a profound impact? 13th Annual Awareness Guide 21 Congratulations! nova scotia & Cape Breton Crime stoppers.

Not unlike the first Crime Stoppers in Albuquerque, our programs took off. We can boast that we’ve solved such serious crimes as murder, aggravated sexual assault, fraud, arson, illegal smuggling and drug dealing. You name it, and our anonymous tipsters have solved it. We proudly say that no matter where you live in Nova Scotia, whether you’re served by the RCMP or a municipal police service, Crime Stoppers has played a significant role in identifying criminals and bringing them to justice. later in this article, I will share some of the many cases solved by anonymous tipsters. Crime Stoppers has proven its worth many times over to our police and other enforcement agencies. Remember, Crime Stoppers is not a police program. It is an extension of the community assisting law enforcement. How many times have we heard that expression, “is your organization cost effective and efficient in service delivery?” If you apply that statement to Crime Stoppers and how the program operates, you will readily agree that we are effective and efficient. Crime Stoppers tipsters, at no cost to the investigating agency, will relay information on crimes; who is responsible, how they did it, what was stolen, where it’s hidden, and so on. Tipsters save our partners time and effort in investigating crime. Successful tipsters are rewarded in cash, anywhere from $50.00 to $2,000.00, for their efforts by the Crime Stoppers program, not the police. very early in our history, we identified the persons responsible for the murder of a man. The motive for that crime was robbery. The victim was robbed of a small amount of money and through the efforts of a tipster who overheard the perpetrators discuss their crime and, specifically, how they committed it, was so valuable to police that they were able to make two arrests. Eventually, both pleaded guilty. Another case involving a vicious assault was solved through the efforts of a tipster who was able to provide us with the name of the assailant based on a specific description of the attacker. Several years ago, Crime Stoppers identified several people involved in an elaborate debit card scam which, at that time, had cost the banking institution several thousand dollars in losses. The tipster was able to provide precise details on how this group was defrauding the bank. Police believe that approximately 80% of criminal activity is drug related. So Crime Stoppers is always proud of any drug seizure attributed to our program. We are very proud that to date, we have been responsible for removing in excess of $7,000,000.00 in illegal drugs out of the hands of our youth. Included in those seizures is everything from street level dealing as well as sophisticated growing operations. A cocaine seizure in the mid 1990’s was valued at $400,000.00. More importantly, police seized several automatic weapons and the persons arrested were high-ranking members of an organized crime group in another part of Canada. The Insurance Bureau of Canada estimates that approximately 15% of insurance claims are fraudulent. This is a crime that costs us all. There are several cases on the Crime Stoppers books where we have identified people who have engineered their own crime and insurance claim and because of the assistance of our tipsters, Crime Stoppers were able to provide police with specific details of how the so-called crime was committed, what the suspects were claiming in losses and most importantly, where the personal items were actually hidden.

In this case, the victim and his infant son received minor injuries, but nonetheless, they were injured and deserved justice. All we really had in this case was the obvious: the time, place, day, where the run vehicle should have been damaged, its size and the colour. An observant tipster saw the re-enactment and recalled being at a body shop around the time of collision and remembered that the owner of the vehicle wanted the car to be repaired and painted a completely different colour. The tipster also recalled where this vehicle sustained damage. luckily for the investigating agency, the body shop still had the front bumper of that vehicle and when it was examined and analyzed, it was found to have paint from the hit vehicle. The accused was arrested, charged and convicted of several criminal code driving offenses. Arson is perhaps one of the most difficult cases to solve because during the commission of the offense not only is property destroyed but so is evidence. We were very fortunate at Crime Stoppers to solve several cases of arson, but one that we are proud of involved property in the valley area of the province. The tipster told Crime Stoppers how the fire was set, what was used as an accelerant, and others who were present and witnessed this crime. The tipster provided the suspect’s name and that the suspect had been seriously burned, along with the fact that they received treatment at another hospital in the province. The suspect did not receive treatment at a local hospital so as not to draw attention to them. These are just a few of our accomplishments. Crime Stoppers’ tipsters have assisted many investigative/enforcement agencies in this province and beyond. Yet in the numbers below, less than 30% of our callers ask for the cash reward. This phenomenon is almost true with all Crime Stoppers program worldwide. The following reflects the results of the mainland NS Crime Stoppers program from inception to the end of November 2011.

It is the only avenue where people can phone in information about a crime and remain anonymous. Cash awards up to $ 2,000.00 are paid for information leading up to an arrest. The role of Crime Stoppers volunteers is to bring awareness to the public and supply information to the avenues where such information can be relayed. We meet on a monthly basis with eight to ten members present out of a membership of fourteen. In partnership with our community police, we attend different functions during the year and pass out brochures and various items with the Crime Stoppers telephone number and other information to keep the public informed. We talk to the people in our communities one-on-one and try to relay the important role they can play in keeping their communities safe. I thank our leadership, the many volunteers that make this organization a success, and especially the Annapolis Valley Board for their commitment that makes my job as chair a very pleasurable experience.

In May, the Antigonish Crime Prevention had an Appreciation Night for the three local organizations: Crime Prevention, MADD and Crime Stoppers. Four of our members received Certificates of Appreciation: Gerard MacNeil - 8 years, Shirley Ackerman - 8 years, John Chisholm - 6 years, and Cathy MacNeil - 5 years. In July, we entered two parades, one with Lainie Landry on her scooter pulling a miniature jail with Bella the Crime Stoppers dog as the jail bird. We won first prize with that entry. In the Highland Games Parade, we had a float displaying our banner and flag along with Lainie and Bella. We had hoped to do a BBQ as a fundraiser during the Musical Ride, but one show was rained out. We did display our tent and our logo but, needless to say, the weather didn’t make us any money. At the end of September, we had an appreciation luncheon for our members at one of the local restaurants which was quite enjoyable. We look forward to the coming months and hope to have some new members. We thank the Antigonish Detachment of the RCMP for their help, and of course, our members who are always there with helping hands.

All of the Colchester Area Crime Stoppers members are hard-working, attend regular meetings and support the program. Mr. Phelan’s outstanding dedication and devotion to the Crime Stoppers program led to his nomination. He is always eager to respond to any request for help, is a hard worker, and has faithful meeting attendance. Bryan also has great leadership qualities. The Award was presented at a recent meeting of Colchester Area Crime Stoppers by NS Crime Stoppers President, Mr. John o’Reilly. The local board Chairman, Ron Roach, and all members unanimously agreed that Bryan should receive this recognition. The Truro Daily News also extends congratulations to Mr. Phelan. Nomination for Provincial Board Volunteer of the Year I would have no problem nominating almost any Colchester Crime Stoppers member for this award. They are a dedicated and responsible membership. There is one member however, who in my opinion, is most deserving of this award. His name is Bryan Phelan. This gentleman is highly motivated and a real asset to the program. There follows a summary of activities: • He attends every meeting and is a great contributor. • Stores the Jail and trailer at his home premises. • Uses his own ¾-ton truck to tow the Jail whenever the NS Crime Stoppers van is not available. • Always participates in float decoration and other activities, in his garage under cover in inclement weather. • Is quick to respond and always willing to participate with his colleagues for any assignment. • volunteers accommodation again at his own home for extra meetings. • His wife, Phyllis, is very supportive of his activities and often participates. He has my unequivocal endorsement for this award. H. Ernie Lund Sept. 9, 2011 13th Annual Awareness Guide 37 Louise Biechele 34 year Award Winner Sales Counselor, B. Comm. Cape Breton Beverages P.o.

As well, over 200 media releases have been sent which have also made reference to calling Crime Stoppers if the release was in relation to a crime. It is an investigative tool that members now include in many files. Tips have been received on a regular basis pertaining to investigations. Some offences have been solved as a result of these tips, along with recovery of stolen items. Posters have been distributed to high schools in the area promoting Crime Stoppers. Also, new signs have been posted in Westchester and Wentworth. Twelve community presentations to seniors, community groups, and public events have been given with a focus on using Crime Stoppers. With a small membership, the Board finds it difficult to do fundraising.

The idea of Crime Stoppers in our area was first mentioned at a Chamber of Commerce meeting, whereby the first Chairperson, Paul Mombourquette, asked for volunteers to begin the group. The concept was very favourably received and about 18 people formed the East Hants District. In 1992, Constable Gary Hicks of the Enfield RCMP approached us with the idea of combining all our local Crime Prevention groups under a Community Policing umbrella called Tri County Crime Prevention, which has since been changed to East Hants Crime Prevention. This has been in effect since then, and is very successful. At the present time, East Hants Crime Stoppers consists of Chairperson Chris Wilber, Treasurer Debbie Dunn, Secretary John O’Reilly, retired RCMP Faye Peach, Maxine May, and Community Policing Officer, Constable les Kakonyi. Our groups under the East Hants umbrella are Addiction Services, Citizens on Patrol, Crime Stoppers, Safe Seniors, Domestic violence, and newly added, MADD. The groups work together for fundraising and community awareness events. We participate in parades; have barbecues, breakfasts, Senior Police Academies, a yearly golf tournament, info fairs and our largest fundraiser, a Battle of the Brains, which is a Trivia night. We have a wonderful group of volunteers and we receive a lot of support from our local RCMP.

Our board members have participated over the year in many activities, starting with booths set up at the Bridgewater Mall and the lunenburg Save Easy for January Crime Stoppers awareness month passing out pamphlets, to handing out ice scrapers for the local red ribbon campaign. We have a yearly promotional night at the local “Guppies Restaurant” in New Germany; participate in the annual Michelin Safety Fair, Michelin Seniors Expo and our Annual Food Drive in May; and, some of our favorite activities are the Bridgewater and New Germany parades. This year, the board has targeted the local lunenburg middle and high schools, doing presentations on Crime Stoppers awareness and on bullying which has been, and is, a very big issue in the schools. The schools and students are becoming more aware of this situation and we were successful that the schools are now putting on the student I.D. cards, the Crime Stoppers name, Text number and Tips number. This will be one of our focuses again this year to reach as many schools as we can to continue the message. The lunenburg Board aim to continue to promote the Crime Stoppers message within the community and expect to have continued success in promoting awareness in the upcoming year. I would like to thank all the lunenburg Board Members for their continued dedication to volunteering in our community.

Our members have made our chapter’s main goal of solving crime and fighting crime in our community a top priority. Our chapter consists of an integrated approach where our meetings are held in conjunction with Pictou County Crime Prevention. This format has allowed our group to partner and has increased our resource capacity to spread the word of what Crime Stoppers is, and how it helps solve crime. The Pictou County Board has assisted in several events from partnering with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, police road checks and school visits. The Pictou County community has been very supportive in the Crime Stoppers program and with community volunteer support, and our organization will continue to go and promote the value of receiving tips and information from the public. Our partners from New Glasgow Police Service, Pictou County District RCMP, Stellarton Police and Crime Prevention have increased our ability to promote a valuable program within our community. Our chapter has been extremely busy and our volunteers have spent several hours in promoting and informing the general public of the value of Crime Stoppers and how it will make Pictou County safer.

During January, Crime Stoppers Month, we held an information blitz at the local Superstore, which was well received. Many questions got answered and much swag given out. Our Mayor and Council agreed to fly the Crime Stoppers flag for two months over the waterfront for all to see. Both the curling rink and hockey rink now have banners hung or in the ice with the Crime Stoppers logo and the 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) number. As usual, the jail and bail was in liverpool for Privateer Days and although the numbers were down, the enthusiasm was still there. The mock Jail was a huge hit in the parade again. The local media, both radio and newspaper, came and did live interviews on air with participants and the RCMP officers doing the warrants. The Queens Board has ten members and have leads on possible new recruits. This Fall, a local sign-maker donated enough Crime Stoppers magnetic bumper stickers to equip all seven RCMP vehicles with two signs, and we, as a board, purchased enough for all taxis to have two signs, also. Now all you see are Crime Stoppers bumper stickers everywhere! The Department of Transportation put up three more Crime Stoppers road signs for us. We now have Crime Stoppers signs on every main road and back road entering Queens County. So as you can see, public awareness is our main focus.

As a promotional item to go along with the “Sticky Notes” purchased last year, West Hants purchased from their funds, 576 pencils embossed with contact information for Crime Stoppers. Another promotional idea undertaken by the West Hants Board was the purchase of T-Shirts to be worn by young people and teens who are always ready to assist Crime Stoppers in parades, etc.. Letters requesting support for the program within the boundaries of the West Hants Board were sent to all businesses within the area and the response was overwhelming. Support was received from the Town of Windsor, the Town of Hantsport, the Municipality of the District of West Hants, and the Council of Glooscap First Nation. All donors received a Certificate of Appreciation acknowledging their support of the program. The offer of a free location to erect a sign advertising Crime Stoppers was accepted and a sign was purchased from West Hants funds and erected by our volunteer members on a busy secondary highway (see photos on next page). In addition to participating in Police Week at the local RCMP Detachment, the volunteers also set up and distributed promotional items at the Community Wellness Day/Seniors’ Expo. The Board purchased 2 Gift Cards from the local supermarkets as a draw for the people visiting our display (see photos on next page). A Tip was paid as a result of information received, which resulted in 2 arrests totaling 6 charges, involving $20,000.00 in marijuana plants, a $40,000.00 vehicle, and 2 cartons of illegal cigarettes. On a day in June, the volunteers of the West Hants Board participated in 3 events promoting Crime Stoppers. First was the Bike Rodeo in Hantsport with the Van and Mascot, next was the Teddy Bear Jamboree Parade again with the Van and Mascot, and lastly, the RACE (Race Against Crime Everywhere) Event, which became a promotional event in lieu of fund raising. The RACE Event was well attended by RCMP Officers and was a huge success thanks to the donations of hot dogs from the grocery stores in the area, in addition to the BBQ provided by a member from another Board and his employer.

Gary Frail Bullying occurs whenever someone repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else on purpose. It often involves a power imbalance between the bully and his or her victim. Bullying can be done by a single person or by a group of people. Why do young people bully? If we are bullying others, there are often underlying issues that are contributing to this behaviour. Some common reasons why young people bully others are: • We feel threatened by people who are different than us • We may be unhappy and take our unhappiness out on others • We may have been bullied ourselves • It makes us feel in control and superior to others • To get attention • To feel tough • We think it will make us popular • We may be jealous of the people we are bullying Bullying is a form of aggression that stems from a position of power. Bullies acquire this power in different ways: • Advantage in size, age, strength, intelligence, etc. • Advantage in social status with peers (e.g., more popular, more socially dominant). • Knowledge of another’s vulnerability (e.g., obesity, learning problems, family issues, disabilities) and using that knowledge to cause distress. • Membership in a dominant group in society and using that power against members of a less dominant group in the forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, and classicism. Signs that a young person is being bullied Some common signs of bullying include: • Not wanting to go to school or participate in extra-curricular activities • Anxious, fearful and over-reactive behaviour • Exhibits low self-esteem and makes negative comments about him/herself • Headaches and stomach aches • Lower interest and performance in school • Loses things, needs money, reports being hungry after school • Injuries, bruising, damaged clothing, broken things • Unhappy, irritable, little interest in activities • Trouble sleeping, nightmares, bedwetting • Expresses threats to hurt himself/herself or others If you see some of these warning signs, it is important to talk to us to see if we are being bullied. Often, we feel helpless if we are being victimized by bullies and it can help to talk to you when we’re trying to figure out how to deal with it. How to talk to youth about bullying Many adults think that bullying is a normal part of growing up; however, bullying can have serious long-term physical and psychological consequences. For this reason, we need you to talk to us about bullying and help us explore ways that we can deal with the situation. Similarly, if you find out that we are bullying others, we need you to talk with us about our behaviour and explain the consequences. We also need your help to address the underlying issues that may have led us to start bullying in the first place. continued on page 93... 13th Annual Awareness Guide 85 Professional Listings HAROLD’S SERVICE CTR RR#1 SIMS SETTLEMENT HUBBARDS (902) 857-9604 PICKLES POOLS AND SPAS 161 WESTvILLE RD.

If someone tells you that we are bullying others, many of you immediately dismiss the complaint, thinking that we would never be capable of such behaviour or that the victim is just being overly sensitive. While your first instinct should definitely be to believe us, most complaints about bullying are legitimate. It is important that you address the issue with us and explore what behaviours of ours could be interpreted as bullying. It is also important to examine the reasons behind these behaviours. Young people who learn that they can get away with violence and aggression often continue to do so in adulthood. They have a higher chance of getting involved in dating aggression, sexual harassment and criminal behaviour later in life (Bullying Canada). For this reason, any complaint about bullying should be addressed seriously: bullying can have serious long-term consequences for both the victim and the aggressor. Don’t buy into the myths about bullying. People have been perpetuating myths about bullying and how to deal with it for years. Don’t make the mistake of buying into one of the following: Myth: Youth have to learn to deal with problems on their own – they don’t need an adult to help. Fact: If we come to you and tell you that we are being bullied, it has likely been going on for some time. It takes a great deal of courage to talk about being victimized by bullying: we are coming to you because we have tried to deal with the situation on our own and haven’t been successful. It’s important that you offer us support and discuss assertiveness, problem solving techniques and options for reporting the bullying to the authorities if appropriate. Myth: If a young person is being bullied, he or she should fight back with equal force. Fact: Encouraging us to respond in kind – either physically or verbally – is never a constructive way to deal with bullying. In fact, it teaches us that violence and aggression are acceptable ways to deal with conflict. We need you to set an example for us and model positive conflict resolution behaviours. Myth: Suffering through bullying builds character. Fact: Bullying can seriously harm our self-esteem and make it hard for us to trust others. The emotional and psychological scars from bullying can last a lifetime. Myth: It’s just name-calling and teasing: it doesn’t really hurt anyone. Fact: Name-calling and teasing can cause serious psychological damage that lasts far longer than physical scars. These behaviours are hurtful and need to be addressed. Myth: They’re just being kids. Fact: Bullying is a learned behaviour: bullies may be imitating behaviour they have seen on television or at home. Bullying is NOT a normal part of childhood and should not be treated as such. Unless you take bullying seriously, we’ll have to continue to face bullies who harm us physically and emotionally. Work with us to find a solution to bullying. If we come to you and say we are being bullied, your response should vary depending on the situation. Some of us may need to practice assertiveness or different problem-solving strategies; in other cases, we may need to talk to school or city authorities or make the parents of the bully aware of the situation. Regardless of what you think is best, listen to how we feel about the situation and help us explore our options. Ultimately, we will gain more confidence if we play a major part in coming up with the solution.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS MODERN-DAY SLAVERY HOW TO RECOGNIZE A VICTIM Human Trafficking is defined as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by various means of coercion, force, fraud, or the abuse of power, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation typically includes sexual exploitation, forced labour, involuntary servitude, or slavery. The clandestine nature of Human Trafficking makes it difficult to ascertain its true magnitude. The United Nations however has estimated that over 700,000 persons are trafficked annually. Other organizations have put the estimated totals even higher than this. It is also estimated that more than half of people who are trafficked annually are children! Child victims of trafficking are often exploited for sexual purposes, including prostitution, pornography and sex tourism. They are also exploited for forced labour, including domestic servitude, sweatshop factory work and migrant farming. VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING CAN BE FOUND IN: - Commercial sex or prostitution - Nannies or servants - Sweatshop factories - Construction - Farming or landscaping where does it occur? DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING - Speak neither English nor French, or may not speak on their own behalf - Originate from a foreign country - Be unaware of local surroundings even though they have been in the area for an extended period of time - Show evidence of control, intimidation or abnormal psychological fear - Not be able to move or leave job - Have bruises or show signs of physical abuse - Show signs of malnutrition - Be frequently accompanied by an individual who may be their trafficker - Be frequently moved by their trafficker WHAT IS THE VICTIM’S MINDSET? THE VICTIMS MAY: Not self-identify as victims of human trafficking. Victims may not appear to need social services because they have a place to live, food to eat, medical care and what they think is a paying job; Be taught to distrust outsiders, especially law enforcement. They have a sense of fear and distrust toward the government and police because they are afraid they will be deported; Feel better in their current situation than where they came from, even if they are being exploited; Be completely unaware of their rights or may have been intentionally misinformed about their right in our country; Fear for their families in their home countries. Some traffickers threaten that they will harm their families if they report their situations to, or cooperate with, law enforcement. Certainly experience has shown that Human Trafficking occurs in our major cities across Canada, however it is not exclusively restricted there. Wherever there is a demand for any of the services referred to in the previous list, it is conceivable victims can be found there as well. Perhaps in your own community! Please don’t close your eyes to Human Trafficking. If you suspect or know of Human Trafficking activity, please contact your local Police, or if you wish to remain anonymous, call your local Crime Stoppers program at the number below. ROOT CAUSES Some of the main causes for trafficking persons into Canada include: an increasing demand for low cost labour and services across Canada and the United States, poverty, lack of education and employment opportunities and inequality (gender, nationality) in countries of origin. 13th Annual Awareness Guide continued on page 93... 89 Booster Boxes DURON ATLANTIC LTD.

OPEN YOUR EYES Quite often, Human Trafficking is happening right in our own communities and we do not notice. The reason we do not notice is often due to a lack of familiarity about Human Trafficking. We encourage you to firstly make yourself aware of the issue of Human Trafficking, and secondly, help your family and friends be aware. By raising awareness levels throughout all communities in Canada, we believe we will be able to greatly reduce the incidence and continuance of Human Trafficking. That is a good thing to do! Please help those victims already in our midst and help prevent the importation and exploitation of more. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONTACT CRIME STOPPERS? Firstly, your identity will never be known as Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display. Your call will be completely anonymous. The information you provide will be forwarded to the Police for investigation and, if proven to be accurate, will help ensure the perpetrator(s) will be arrested and charged, and you would be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2000 Canadian. The victim (the person being trafficked) will be provided with assistance and, if from another country, can be provided with a temporary residency permit and a safe location while the matter is being resolved. Remember please that in addition to being a major crime, Human Trafficking is a serious violation of the Human rights of the individuals who are being trafficked. By participating in our Blue Blindfold Campaign, you will be helping those who are not able to help themselves. Together we can make it stop! For more information on HUMAN TRAFFICKING, please refer to the list of resources below. If you think you know someone being trafficked, or are being trafficked yourself, WE ARE HERE TO HELP. It is estimated that 250,000 slaves exist in North America, 27 million worldwide. Please call 1-800-222-8477. resources. ON BEHALF OF VICTIMS For victims of unimaginable cruelty, we are appealing for a Countrywide fight against Human Trafficking. A National, collaborative, powerful fight. We are appealing because human trafficking is modern day slavery. We are appealing because these victims have no voice. Crime Stopper Programs all across Canada have a proven record at helping solve Crime in our communities. We are very pleased to be part of what we believe is the solution to helping to reduce and even eliminate the practice of Human Trafficking in Canada and help curtail the incidence of people being trafficked through Canada to the United States. Please don’t close your eyes!

It is dominated by criminal organizations, which are motivated by the potential of large profits which in turn fund other criminal activities. In the case of many large seizures of illegal tobacco, drugs and weapons have also been seized. Due to its low selling price, illegal tobacco has the potential to increase smoking rates which in turn results in an increase in health care costs for which all citizens pay the price. The illegal tobacco trade varies greatly across the country. Central Canada is the primary source of illegal tobacco products found throughout the rest of the country. The illegal tobacco market in the Atlantic region is almost entirely supplied by criminal networks sourcing their supply from ontario, Quebec and New york State. The current environment of manufacturing, distributing and selling contraband tobacco products is different from what it was in the early 90s when it was based primarily on the diversion of legally manufactured products. Today, it’s driven largely by illegal manufacturing, although it also features, to a lesser degree, the illegal importation of counterfeit cigarettes which arrive in Canada via marine containers. Several factors contribute to Canada’s illegal tobacco market, including smokers’ motivation to find cheap product, low public recognition and appreciation for the consequences of illegal tobacco, ease of access to illegal tobacco products especially by our youth, and the illegal manufacturing and sale of tobacco products. The illegal tobacco trade deprives all citizens of money that could be used for things like health care and education. Persons who are caught possessing or distributing illegal tobacco can face fines, penalties and even jail time. Crime Stoppers recognizes the seriousness of this issue and its effects on our communities and will continue to work with law enforcement agencies and partners to combat the illegal tobacco trade in Nova Scotia. 13th Annual Awareness Guide 93 Booster Boxes SYDNEY PENTECOSTAL CHURCH SyDNEy (902) 562-0700 TRI COUNTY CAb yARMoUTH (902) 742-2324 VINCENT A.
