Council Meeting Highlights

Submitted by Village of Chase

The Regular Meeting of Council was held on January 24, 2023 at the Village office and via Zoom. 15 people attended in-person and 6 people attended virtually.

Input on Items on the Agenda

Mitch Amies of 113-455 VLA Road spoke about Item 8.5 and said that he and his wife Shelley were in attendance to answer any questions. Mr. Amies added that their storage containers are all properly vented and no combustible materials are stored at their facility.

Bev Iglesias of 621 3rd Avenue spoke about Item 8.3 and asked if the Village pays to have firefighters trained for wildfire fighting, what happens when those firefighters leave Chase? She stated that if firefighters want to participate in wildfire fighting they should arrange for their own training.

James Mintz of 813 Okanagan Avenue reminded Council that he had written a letter two weeks ago about how the sale of the surplus fire truck was handled, that a decision such as that needs to be based on facts. He added that he is of the understanding that the members from Chase that would be deployed for BCWS work are already trained so why would it cost extra to train? And he is also of the understanding that the fire hoses and ladder required for the truck are already in the department’s inventory. He added that he would like to see the Fire Chief respond as he is the expert in this area.

Zilly Palamar of 141 Shuswap Avenue stated that there is a market for the Fire truck to other communities who require a truck – why not help other communities

by selling them a good truck that we can no longer use? The expenses are enormous just to get the truck and firefighters ready to go to a wildfire and when they leave our community they are not here if we need them – it is not prudent to take firefighters out of Chase.

Brian Lauzon, Chase Fire Chief stated that training is already done because we can use wildfire training close to home if a wildfire comes close to the community. He added that the fire department already had the hoses and ladder required for the truck, that neighbouring fire departments would help us as a back up if without depleting our resources, and all 23 of our firefighters will be Exterior Operations trained by the start of this years’ wildfire season.

RCMP REPORT

by Chase RCMP

UNSECURED SHEDS

On January 7th, 2023, Chase RCMP investigated a report of a break and enter to a seasonal residence in Magna Bay. The investigation determined that a hidden key had been used to gain access to the structure. Footprints in the snow led to several neighbouring properties. Police discovered that a number of unlocked outbuildings had been accessed but nothing of value appeared to be missing. Evidence was collected from the scene to be examined for fingerprints. Neighbours reported seeing a suspicious vehicle and a male wearing a green jacket earlier that morning. Two suspects have been identified and the investigation is ongoing.

FRAUD

On January 8th, 2023, Chase RCMP were advised of a theft. The complainant reported that her credit card was stolen from her unlocked vehicle while it was parked in Chase. The credit card was later used for a purchase at a local business. Video surveillance was obtained from the business and the suspect has been identified.

BREAK AND ENTER

On January 9th, 2023 at 8:16 pm, Chase RCMP responded to a report of a break and enter at a seasonal residence at Neskonlith Lake. The complainant told Police that he arrived at his cabin to find the door to his storage area had been destroyed and items were missing from inside. He was then alerted to a vehicle which was stuck in the snow nearby. The male and female in the vehicle denied any involvement with the break and enter; however, the complainant observed several of his belongings inside the truck. He was able to identify his belongings as they were clearly labelled with his name. Police were called, but the male and female fled before Police arrived, leaving their stuck vehicle behind. It appeared that the thieves first broke into a garden shed and used the tools they found inside to gain access to the storage area, which housed the more expensive items. Footprints in the snow indicated that the pair checked doors and windows of every

cabin, likely looking for an easy target.

Investigation determined that vehicle had been stolen from a business in Chase. Based on witness observations, both the male and female suspects have been identified.

2023-130 FIREARMS OFFENCES

On January 18th, 2023 at approximately 1:20 pm, Chase RCMP officers on patrol noted a black Ford SUV being operated by a known prohibited driver. In addition, the SUV was determined to have been reported stolen from the Enderby area. Police conducted a traffic stop with the vehicle on Chase Falkland Road. The driver was removed from the vehicle and arrested. Police then observed an illegally modified, loaded firearm wedged between the driver’s seat and the centre console. The firearm was positioned so that it was easily accessible by the driver. Police expect to recommend multiple firearms related charges.

IMPAIRED DRIVER

On January 18th, 2023, Chase RCMP were advised of a possible impaired driver on the Trans-Canada Highway. The caller reported a red Dodge pickup with a matching canopy speeding and driving erratically. At approximately 3:00 pm, Police observed a similar vehicle at a local gas station. Breath samples were obtained from the driver which determined her ability to drive was impaired by alcohol. She was prohibited from driving for 90 days and her vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

RECOVERED STOLEN VEHICLE

On January 19th, 2023, Chase RCMP officers on routine patrol noted a suspicious vehicle parked near a residence on First Avenue in Chase. Further investigation revealed that the vehicle had been reported stolen from Kamloops several weeks earlier. A passenger in the vehicle was briefly detained by Police before being released without charges. The vehicle was towed to a local impound lot to be returned to the registered owner.

HEAT LIGHTS

submitted by Scott Koch

After a missed week of weekly updates due to brain cramps there is a lot of catching up to do.

Way back on Friday January 13th our Heat took their coaches by coach to the East Kootenays to first face off versus the Fernie Ghostriders. After 40 days and forty nights of travel the passengers may well of stayed seated in the pavement pounder. Young Cohen Kallin from Mikkel Hrechka in the 2nd staved off a goose egg in a 12-1 pounding by the hosts. Next up in this costly team trip were the Creston Valley Thundercats, Saturday night entertainment that Jalen Davidson ruined a shutout bid on the man advantage from Maddex Bignell and Hrechka mid 3rd period. The end a 7-1 spanking with our lads not getting enough shots on goal to keep pace with the opponents.

On Wednesday the 18th the Heat headed to 100 Mile House to meet the Wranglers in a postponed earlier date matchup. Braeden Huth scored the only counter in the 1st on a man advantage from Trevor Kennedy and Bignell. In the 2nd the hosts scored twice with Bignell popping in a powerplay tally in between with help from Huth and Hrechka. No scoring in the 3rd the teams finished this contest in overtime, Wranglers doing the scoring in a 3-2 overtime loss good for a single point in the standings.

This past weekend saw the Kamloops Storm arrive at the Art Holding Memorial Arena on Friday the 20th. Another single goal game for the Heat as Huth in the 2nd from Davidson and Hudson Ketsa broke the goose egg. The conclusion a 4-1 loss. Saturday the 21st the Heat hit the road to play the Revelstoke Grizzlies. The hosts scored twice in the 1st, a 3rd time in the 2nd and then the Heat turned up the heat. Hrechka from Kennedy with a blast on the man advantage and then Davidson on a rebound from Bignell and Kennedy on another powerplay. The mad bears were reeling and back on their heels, however they came out in the 3rd and dispatched the Heat 5-2 in the end. Not much to cheer about or get excited about, except the stepping up and starring of Mikkel Hrechka over this 5 game stretch. His efforts are hard not to notice as on many occasions he takes matters into his own hands and runs with it. An example which others should be following.

The Heat face the Storm from Kamloops once again on the 24th and then leave town for contests versus Princeton Posse on the 27th and Osoyoos Coyotes on the 28th. Next home game at our Chilly Arena is Friday February 3rd versus those same Coyotes.
