The Curious Life Of A Small-Town Mountie

"Policing The Fringe" is a collection of unforgettable stories from Sergeant Charlie Scheideman's twenty-seven years on the RCMP front lines, patrolling the small and sometimes isolated communities of interior British Columbia. Such places were full of characters, like Walter and Wilbur, two Hixon hillbillies who went on a bender and decided it would be fun to stagger out onto the Cariboo Highway with a rifle and hold up passing cars, which world well enough until they held up a motorhome from Alaska that turned out to be better armed than they were. Scheideman recalls Petre, the hard-working hermit who was cheated out of his savings by three slick-talking mining promoters and waited to take his revenge -- with an axe. Once Scheideman stopped a car in the Fraser Canyon driven by three normally responsible American fishermen, who on this occasion were careening wildly from fone guard rail to another. Their defence? They had failed to allow for the added kick of Canadian beer.



With wry humour and a policeman's eye for relevant detail, Scheideman recounts events that range from the ridiculous to the horrific to the tragic, making "Policing The Fringe" one of the most revealing accounts ever written about policing in small-town Canada. It will give readers new respect for the men and women who patrol Canada's backroads -- both because of the extremely taxing work they do and the good spirit with which they do it.
