Rural RCMP Calls a Concern

July 14, 2018

Williams Lake RCMP have seen a 10 percent increase in rural calls from last year.

Most of the calls however, have been speeding or collisions, and not criminal code violations.

RCMP inspector Jeff Pelley met with the Cariboo Regional District board to discuss rural policing issues.

The detachment’s strategy to reduce rural crime is to increase their presence. The detachment has added 26 shifts over the summer in rural areas, and has seen a decrease in offences related to speed, and impairment, and has also seen less collisions.

Something going on in the Cariboo you think people should know about?

The BX Morning Show

I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!
