BYE BYE BIN by Kelsey Snelgrove
W
ith China enforcing its new “National Sword” policy, which bans 24 types of solid waste and sets a much tougher standard for contamination, there is now no longer a market for mixed recycling with any level of contamination. R e c y c l i n g processor, E m t e r r a Environmental, recently informed the TNRD that it would no longer be accepting mixed recycling from the district, citing high contamination levels. As a result, the municipal recycling bin located at Art Holding Memorial Arena will be closed and removed within the week. Source separated recycling will be introduced at TNRD operated solid waste facilities, such as South Thompson Eco-Depot in Pritchard. Contamination comes in several forms,
MLS#10136912
such as food residues on otherwise acceptable items, household garbage being put into mixed recycling bins, or items that are recyclable but are not part of the mixed recycling program. “The biggest source of contamination is from the municipal recycling depots and curbsidecollected recycling,” says Jamie Vieira, Manager of Environmental Services at the TNRD. “This is to be expected as there is no one monitoring what goes in the bin. It is up to individual residents if we are to avoid sending mixed recycling to landfill.” Because of these drastic changes, the Village of Chase will be conducting random checks of curbside recycling bins. If the bin has contaminated recycling, it will not be collected. Continued on page 3...

Recycling Rules
“Is there Glass in your bin? It is now contaminated! Does your milk jug have some milk in it? CONTAMINATED! Does your KRAFT salad dressing bottle have dressing still in it? CONTAMINATED! Are there still bits of corn in the tin in your bin? CONTAMINATED! Are there plastic bags, film wrap on containers? Contaminated!” explained Joni Heinrich, Village of Chase CAO. “The costs will increase for us to recycle if our materials are contaminated, or if they are not acceptable at all,” said Heinrich.
The Village asks that you ensure that you put ONLY acceptable materials into your recycling bin - clean (no food residue) plastic containers, clean (no food residue) tins, and clean flattened cardboard and paper (writing paper, newsprint, flyers). Plastic bags, batteries, glass, and scrap metal can NOT go in the curbside recycling bins. Foam packaging (Styrofoam) is garbage - even if it has a recycing symbol on it. If you have questions, contact the Village Office at 250-679-3238.

PARKING DOWNTOWN | WE HAVE A SOLUTION! Submitted by Chase and District Chamber of Commerce
The Chase & District Chamber of Commerce has collaborated with the Village of Chase to create a solution to a continual complaint and long time issue that has faced HORIZONTAL our business community in Chase. We often hear that “Downtown merchants and their employees often park in front of their stores or in other choice parking spaces and then complain they lose business because parking space is insufficient.”
A simple downtown parking fix; leave good spaces for customers! How do we start? Set a clear parking policy for your employees. If you are a retail business or one that regularly has customers, designate parking spaces near the front entrance for customers. Simply ask your employees not to take the best parking spaces, or designate which ones you want them to avoid. Many large retailers, such as grocery stores and malls, restrict where employees can park, requiring they park on the outer edges of parking lots and leave the best spaces for customers. Many

provide a separate employee parking lot for their employees. The same thinking should apply to downtown parking. But what happens when you live in a small rural community that doesn’t have many available lots or the parking garages? VERTIC AL This is a problem faced by many municipalities; urban and rural. Some of the solutions other communities have created are: • parking meters; installing parking meters on the most heavily traveled thoroughfares. ie. Shuswap Avenue. • new parking bylaws; limiting the number of hours you can park downtown. We want to avoid these scenarios, so is there another solution for Chase? The Chase & District Chamber of Commerce, The Village of Chase and the ICON ONLY Chase & District Curling Club is offering business owners and their employees FREE parking in the first 2 rows of parking at the Curling Club. (closest to Shuswap Avenue where the Farmer’s Market used to be located) This is a very close in proximity Village owned parking lot to the downtown business centre and a very short distance for owners/employees to walk.

SD 73 Board
approves moving Grade 7s submitted by Robert Koopmans, Communications Manager, School District No. 73
Starting in September 2018, Grade 7 students in Barriere and Chase will have classes in the secondary school instead of at the community elementary schools, SD 73 trustees decided Monday. The decision to move students was finalized at the public board meeting in Kamloops. The Board decided to proceed with the proposal in Barriere and Chase but not in Clearwater, where many people were opposed. For Clearwater, trustees voted to remain with the status quo, which means Grade 7s will stay in the elementary school. The decisions followed an extensive period of consultation with parents, staff and students in all
the communities that included public meetings and presentations, an online consultation portal as well as email and paperbased feedback options. The District’s LongRange Facilities Plan, which was released in December 2017, contained the proposal to move Grade 7 students from elementary schools to secondary schools in Chase, Clearwater and Barriere for the 2018-19 school year. The proposal suggested such a move could benefit Grade 7 students by providing them with earlier access to academic and other specialty programs (such as shop programs), and academic counselling not available
RCMP REPORT
submitted by Chase RCMP Aggravated Assault On Tuesday April 17th, 2018 at 3:25 pm, the Chase RCMP responded to a report of a fight at a residence in 8500 block of Holding Road near Adams Lake, BC. Chase RCMP, RCMP Police Dog Services Police and BC Ambulance Service arrived on scene to find the victim, a 50 year old male from Lee Creek, had sustained a severe cut to his hand. Air ambulance was requested and transported the victim to Royal Inland Hospital where he would require surgery for his injuries. The suspect had fled from the scene. Investigation determined the victim was involved in an altercation with a 44 year old man from the Chase area. During the altercation the suspect brandished a large machete style knife and struck the victim causing the injury. On April 18th, 2018, the suspect turned himself in to the Chase RCMP Detachment. He was placed under arrest and later released on a Promise to Appear in Kamloops Provincial Court on June 4th, 2018. Chase RCMP is recommending charges of aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes and mischief. The victim and suspect are casual acquaintances. The motive for the altercation is unknown but alcohol was a factor. Cont’d on page 12...
in elementary schools. As well, the proposal addressed emerging concerns regarding space pressure in the elementary schools, particularly in regard to the allocation of special purpose rooms (music rooms, etc.). “This move will give many young people a unique opportunity to explore their passions and interests by giving the grade 7s access to specialized equipment and facilities and creating additional space at the elementary schools to address their needs for more flexible space,” said District Superintendent Alison Sidow. “We’re excited to see this proposal move forward in these two communities.”

We’re All Broncos by Tyler Harper
Over these past weeks I have been moved by the way people in our village have responded to the Broncos bus crash. Last Thursday was jersey day in support of the families and survivors of that crash and it was beautiful to see how many people dusted off old hockey jerseys for the cause, and if they didn’t have one at hand, they put on some other sort of jersey or simply wore the team colours. It has been touching to ride around our village and see sticks by people’s doors as a sign of remembrance, a sign of those who are walking through the valley of death. These signs have been a reminder that although we are provinces away, that even though we are 1200 kms away, we all have something in common. These sticks and jerseys are a reminder that we all share something that is deeper than team colours, or hockey, or sports; we’re all human. These sticks and these jerseys are a reminder that whether we’re from the opposite side of the lake, or the opposite side of the country, or the opposite side of the world, we are all human. So while hopefully you and
Saturday, April 28
I never feel the scope of the loss that the town of Humboldt has, you and I can in some ways relate, because part of our common experience, part of what makes us human is to feel pain, to feel loss. Unfortunately, part of what it means to be human is to know pain, Jesus knew it on the night that he was betrayed and the families of these 16 young people know it, and when we are honest, you and I know it. When we are honest with ourselves, we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. But as the Broncos team pastor Sean Brandow reminded those gathered in the Humboldt arena on April 9th and reminded all those who have heard his words online, and on T.V., and on the radio since, we are not alone in this experience. Jesus walks with the broken hearted, Jesus suffered and died, but He didn’t stay dead. And because Jesus suffered and died and rose again Sean can say, and I can say, and you can say that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, even though we feel pain, even though we feel loss, it is not the jerseys, or the sticks or the gofundme support that comfort, it is that Jesus is in the loss and in the pain with us. We might feel like we need so much in our lives, we might feel that we need character, or a new car, or comradery in our lives, but as the Humboldt Broncos late coach, Darcy Haugan, reminded the team pastor— and us, what we really need is Jesus in our lives. He’s the only thing that will comfort us in this dark valley. Tyler (TylerJRHarper@gmail.com) is the Pastor of Chase Evangelical Free Church, 295 Shuswap Ave, Chase, B.C.

Why Everything Shuswap - A book talk by Jim Cooperman
On May 3rd at 5pm at the Chase Library, author Jim Cooperman will be giving a PowerPoint presentation about his popular book, Everything Shuswap. The Shuswap has all the attributes to attract someone who enjoys four seasons - nature, clean water, recreation, and culture and reasonably close access to larger cities. There is an amazing diversity of plant and animal life here and thankfully due to the small population, a minimum of pavement, crowds and pollution. Yet until recently, there has been little written about the region. Author Jim Cooperman, a dedicated environmentalist and back-to-the-lander, spent 12 years researching and writing this comprehensive, bioregional guidebook that includes 36 maps and over 350 stunning photos. Tour through the watershed and explore the lakes region and each of the 12 sub-drainages. Learn about the region’s ancient geology and its mostly unsuccessful mining ventures. Discover why the Shuswap is so ecologically diverse and why mountain caribou are endangered and how the sockeye salmon may be next. Learn about the Secwepemc people, who have lived on this land since time immemorial and understand why, after nearly two centuries of exploitation and mistreatment, they are regaining their heritage. Understand the factors behind the pattern of European settlement and discover details about the sternwheeler era. Everything Shuswap has received rave reviews in various publications. The Vancouver Sun noted that the book is “a compelling portrait of land, waters, wildlife and human history.” In BC Bookworld, former CBC Almanac host explained how the book “makes a convincing
case for better understanding and Copies of the book will be appreciating one of this province’s available at the talks and best kept secrets.” Author and can be purchased in Chase former Globe and Mail columnist at PharmaChoice, Safety pointed out how “Everything Mart and the museum.

Page 9 • April 27th, 2018 • Chase Sunflower Obituary Adeline Mary Fraser “Addy” December 21, 1929 - April 10, 2018
Adeline (Addy) Mary Fraser, beloved wife of Thomas (Tom) Fraser (they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary Feb. 22, 2018), beloved mother of Diane Sanford, Robert Fraser, Ronald Fraser and Dave Fraser, beloved mother-in-law of Donald Sanford, Francis Fraser, Sherry Fraser, and Trisha Fraser; beloved grandmother of Shawna Gip, Scott Fraser, Jeff Fraser, Brian Fraser, Terry Fraser and Quinn Fraser; beloved great-grandmother of Alexander Fraser and Rylan Fraser, and sister to her surviving brother, Len Hammel, passed away quietly in the early morning of April 10, 2018 after having a massive stroke on April 2, 2018. Over the years, Adeline and Tom took their children on weekends to two cabins they had on the shores of mountain lakes. After Tom retired, the two of them spent 16 winters in Yuma, Arizona where they got involved in the RV park/ sports events, made many friends and thoroughly enjoyed their time in the sunshine. Due to the onset of dementia, Adeline, along with Tom, moved into the Hamlets at Westsyde Care Facility for 3 years, then into the Active Care Senior Services for 4 months and resided the last two years in the Blueberry unit at the Overlander Care Home in Kamloops, BC. Adeline was loved by the caring staff and she loved them all in return. The care the staff gave Adeline was exemplary but that care/love went over the top during her fight against the stroke. Her family greatly appreciates the care and comfort Adeline received from the staff in the Blueberry wing of the Overlander. Thank you all so very much. Adeline had always been very active in her life. She played Senior B softball in her younger years, loved golfing, curling, bowling, and walking. She started golfing at the Smithers Golf Course and continued on at the Chase Golf Course when she and Tom moved to Chase in 2003. Adeline probably has a tee time already set up with her sister-in-law, Beverly Fraser, who passed before her. Along with her own sports, Adeline attended, and supported as many of her family’s sports activities as she could. Up until the stroke, Adeline continued to be active at the Overlander, in sport activities, cultural events, mini road trips, and any function that was set up for the residents to enjoy. As much as we miss our wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, we are so grateful that Adeline had a wonderful life and that she knew she was loved so much by all of us.

Instructions Butter the bread on both sides and fry each side in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the tuna meat, celery, capers, Parmesan, mayo, and parsley. Mix everything together thoroughly. Place the bread on a baking sheet. Arrange the tuna salad on top of the bread and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 5-6 minutes, until the cheese has melted and started to bubble. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
The son asks, “ why do we swim around them three times first.” The father retorts “Because humans taste alot better without the poop in them” My grandfather warned people that the Titanic would sink. No one listened, but he kept on warning them nonetheless until they got sick of him and kicked him out the movie theatre What is the optimum weight of a fart? 0.0 grams.
