RCMP REPORT submitted by Chase RCMP

COLLISION AND TRESPASSING On October 5th, 2022 at 5:53 pm, Chase RCMP were advised of a single vehicle collision on the Trans Canada Highway, west of Chase. The driver swerved to miss a dog and instead hit a giant road sign and went in the ditch. The dog ran off. Passersby, concerned the dog might be injured, followed it onto fenced private property, past a gate and a ‘no trespassing’ sign.

Startled to find strangers trespassing on his property and unaware of the accident, the homeowner phoned 911 and threatened to chase the trespassers away with a bat.

The 911 call-taker realized what was likely happening and was able to de-escalate the situation until Police arrived. Police investigated the collision, organized the tow, scolded the well-meaning trespassers and re-assured the homeowner but did not locate the dog.

MISSING PATIENT On October 11th, 2022 Chase RCMP were notified that a psychiatric patient had escaped from his medical transport on route to the lower mainland from Alberta.

The patient had been permitted a brief restroom break without an escort and had seized the opportunity to flee. Chase RCMP were requested to assist in locating the patient. Police were warned that the patient had a history of aggression toward police officers. Chase RCMP searched for the patient with assistance from Kamloops Police Dog Services. The patient eventually returned to the medical transport vehicle of his own accord. Police were then required to escort the medical staff and their patient to the nearest hospital.

SUSPICIOUS BLANKET On October 12th, 2022, Chase RCMP were requested to investigate a possible body in the South Thompson River. A fisherman noticed a blanket that seemed to be wrapped around a human shaped object. The object was resting under two feet of water, near a sand bar in the middle of the river. The blanket appeared to be stained with blood.

The complainant explained that Police would need to travel by boat to the sand bar and then wade into the river to reach the blanket. The river was too low for the RCMP boat, so the complainant generously

volunteered to transport Police to the site.

With dread, Police waded into the river and began to examine the blanket. What initially appeared to be blood splotches, was in fact, a red floral pattern on a beige background. To everyone’s immense relief, the blanket contained nothing but sand and rocks.

IMPAIRED DRIVER On October 14th, 2022, Chase RCMP were advised of a motor vehicle collision on Holding Road. Neighbours heard a crash and hurried outside in the dark to check on the driver. The driver had failed to negotiate a curve; his pickup crossed the centre line and went off the road. The pickup stopped when it became wedged on top of a concrete barrier that prevented the truck from plummeting down a steep embankment into the Adams River. Police noted that the driver seemed unsteady on his feet; however, this is not unusual given the circumstances. During the investigation, breath samples were obtained from the driver. The breath samples produced ‘fail’ readings, indicating that the driver’s ability to drive was impaired by alcohol. Luckily, no one was harmed. The driver received a 90 day driving prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

log with a bunch of birds on it.

COLLISION On October 24th, 2022 at 8:06 pm, Chase RCMP were advised of a two vehicle collision on the Trans Canada Highway, west of Chase. The complainant was on hold with 911 attempting to report an erratic driver, when the vehicle (a white Mini Cooper), crossed the centre line and struck an oncoming Jeep Cherokee. The Jeep Cherokee entered the ditch and flipped several times. The driver was not seriously injured but their dog was ejected through the shattered sunroof and could not be found. The investigation determined that the driver of the Mini Cooper had suffered a medical emergency before the collision. He was treated by Paramedics and transported to hospital for further assessment.

The following day, the dog was spotted running along the highway — the dog and owner were happily reunited.

MONSTERS UNDER THE BED On October 16th, 2022 at 12:14 am, Chase RCMP were requested to attend a local motel room to investigate a suspicious situation. The complainant was convinced there was someone under his bed. He was hiding in the bathroom, while waiting for Police. Police attended and summoned the courage to check under the bed. There was nothing underneath it. No monsters under the bed...this time.

SUSPICIOUS OBJECT On October 20th, 2022 at 3:00 pm, Chase RCMP received another report of a possible body on the bank of the South Thompson River near Pritchard. The caller had been driving along the Trans Canada Highway when he observed something human shaped, covered with birds. Police walked along the river shore for a considerable distance but found only a human shaped

CDFGC Newspaper Update for November 2022 The Chase and District Fish and Game Club is getting back into the swing of things for fall. Hopefully by now you have heard of our Fall Fundraiser. The Big Fall 50 50 and Silent Auction. It is down to its last 10 days as I write this article and the fund is starting to climb. It is up to $2500 in the 50 50 raffle section. The club wants to thank the community and the businesses who have contributed to maintain our facilities and infrastructure.

Without your support we would not have such an excellent facility to use.

Also, thanks to all of you who have so generously bought a 50 50 ticket, bid on a silent auction item, or donated to the club. Your support means a lot.

Fundraising helps keep our membership fees to a reasonable level.

Families can afford to use the facilities.

Parents can take their children up to the range to do archery or plinking. I am sure there are many readers who have fond memories of going out to target shoot or plink with parents, or grand parents. It makes such a fun day.

Compared to other places, our club has some of the lowest fees by hundreds of dollars. Without fundraising, those fees would have to rise. If you want to buy

SUDOKU

by Secretary Helen Dalin a 50 50 ticket and the raffle hasn’t closed yet, go to https://trellis.org/thebigfall5050 . The draw takes place on Novembers 1st – Live streamed on our Facebook page.

The draw takes place at 3 :30 pm and sales end at 3 pm Nov 1st. The silent auction bidding ends on October 31st at 4 pm.

Our club has started working on a new community project. We have designed a new dock for Harper Lake. The old one has seen its best days and needs to be replaced. We are trying to make a dock that fishermen will be able to cast from. We have a design drawn up and hope to have all the lumber milled by spring.

Ralph Bischoff, our president is going to mill the lumber for the dock. Then the hope is to get the dock built in the spring by volunteers.

If you have an idea for a local project

INTERMEDIATE

for the community that you think the CDFGC could help with, please contact any of our executive of our club. We are always interested in new ideas, especially ones that will get people and youth outside enjoying the outdoors.

The club is also going to donate $1000 to the BC Wildlife Federation Steelhead Research Project. Steelhead are not doing well and the DFO is disinclined to share its research with the BCWF. We feel that this is an important and relevant project to support. This donation supports our club’s mission statement “to represent all local residents whose aims are to protect, enhance, and promote the wise use of the environment for the benefit of present and future generations.”

If you are an outdoors type person, think about joining our club. We meet on the 3rd Monday of the month at Creekside Senior Center at 7 pm. New annual memberships will be required Jam 1st 2023 and the lock at the range will be changed. You can get memberships at The Village Ubrew or download them from our website in fillable PDF format. The 2023 membership forms will not be available until sometime in December 2022.

The Blessed Sacrament Parish has a

change in Mass time

Beginning on November 6th, 2022, we will be having Mass on Sundays at 8:00 am.

We realize this is quite early, but it is back to Sunday, instead of Saturday at 4:00.
