Mustaches highlight slow week for RCMP
BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff
With only 55 calls to respond to from November 5-11, the highlight of the RCMP week was the continued growth of mustaches on the participants in the annual Movember fundraiser for cancer research. Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said he has relaxed grooming requirements so he and other male members can participate. November 5 •A 911 call from Highway 3A was determined to have been caused by a tree falling on phone lines. •Minor damage resulted in a two-vehicle collision on 10th Avenue North. •A well-being check on a Masuch Road resident revealed he was okay, but his phone service wasn’t. •No injuries were reported in a minor two-vehicle collision in a Canyon Street parking lot. •A female driver complained that someone lectured her about 11th Avenue South being a 30kph zone. •A complaint of fraud was
received from 18th Avenue South. •No trace could be made of a 911 call through the Whimster Road cell phone tower. November 6 •Police served a summons to an Aspen Road residence on behalf of Cranbrook RCMP. •A cell phone 911 call through the Riley Road tower could not be traced. •Tools were stolen when a John Deere grader was broken into on the Big Bear Forest Service Road. •Police received a report that two males started a red Toyota truck with a screwdriver on 9th Avenue North and drove away but no report of a theft has been received. November 7 •Police were unable to locate a vehicle reported as being driven without insurance on Oliver Road. •When police conducted a well-being check on a male on 11th Avenue South, they found him on the floor. He said he’d been there for two days, suffering from a gout attack. He was taken to hospital by ambulance. •911 calls through the Riley Road and Topaz Creek cell phone towers could not be traced.

My apologies if your name or business was missed. With many last minute donations, I may not have had the time to thank you individually. You know who you are and how much your contribution was appreciated. It was an unforgettable day of fundraising that I will cherish and always remember. You should all be proud to know you live in a community filled with kind caring people, and an abundance of generosity.

A sharp-eyed reader reports that last week’s story about the Bear Aware report to the Town Council meeting contained an error. Upon checking with Bear Aware co-ordinator Gillian Cooper, the reader learned that the bear reported to be roaming into Schikurski Park is a black bear, not a grizzly. The Advance regrets the error and thanks the reader for correcting our error.

From the volunteers who set up and organized, business owners and community locals who contributed to the silent auction; to the guests, who arrived for a couple quick throws at the dunk tank, or simply a bite to eat, I can say without hesitation, we truly live in a “one of a kind community”. To think of how everyone pulled together to make my day so special, means the world to me. The list below does not even begin to portray how many helping hands we had that day, but to everyone who made the fundraiser, concession, games and silent auction a success, I thank you for your everlasting thoughtfulness.
