A PERFECT DAY ON THE RIVER

O

Submitted by: Sandy Gregson-Meyer

n Sunday August 16th, 12 square dancers from Kamloops & Pritchard area, in 3 canoes, a rowboat, & 2 kayaks launched their boats at Chase to take part in the 13th annual Banana Island Canoe trip. This is a delightful canoe trip down the S. Thompson River, ending at Pritchard. After a picnic on Banana Island, they danced on the beach…….some even danced in the water to earn their ‘Aquaducks’ badge. The weather was absolutely perfect and surprisingly, the water was warm.

This trip is always a great opportunity to enjoy the serenity, see some wildlife, and get some enjoyable exercise all in one day

and is one of many options Modern Square Dancers enjoy.

For more information about Modern Square Dancing, including new dancer sessions starting in the Fall, call 250-3765636, or email: meyerdance@telus.net.

Minor Hockey Refs Needed & Team Updates Submitted by: Chase Minor Hockey Executive

Chase Minor Hockey is currently looking for more referees!

For those that have not been registered before, we will be conducting the classroom sessions in Chase on Aug. 24-26, which consists of a 3 hour online video training session.

Afterwards, there is an onsite session in Vernon on August 29th, that all refs will need to attend. For those interested or require more info, contact Jane Herman at jherman@cablelan.net or at 250-851-6524.

Chase Minor Hockey has changed their decision to go Rep for the PeeWee and Bantam teams this year. Although it would have been nice to offer, we just don’t have the number of players we thought we could get this year.

The Chase Heat are still committed to assisting in the development of our now Recreation teams, so we can potentially go Rep in coming years.

I am only asking - Is there racism in Chase? Heaven forbid, I am only asking. Do you ever ask your aging neighbour “can I help you with something today?” Why did they cut down 9 cottonwood trees on the school grounds?

As a family, we want to thank everyone who lent us support, both emotional or financial, during this very difficult time. The generosity of the community has been such a blessing and has meant so much to us. Words don’t seem sufficient to describe our gratitude.

The amount of food we’ve received over the last two weeks is unbelievable and the monetary support is more than we could ever have hoped for. Thanks to your generosity, Natascha will be able to go back to Switzerland, and we’ll be able to set up a bursary in Sascha’s name. Most of all, we want to thank you for being there for us and with us. The past weeks have been hard and we have a long road ahead, but knowing that you are all there for us, and realizing how much Sascha was loved by everyone, certainly gives us strength.

Thank you so very much, The Hedrich Family

Sailors considering a “ship’s cat” would want a black one because it would bring good luck. Fishermen’s wives would keep black cats at home too, in the hope that Egyptian cat-headed they would be able to use goddess, Bastet their influence to protect their husbands at sea. The view of black cats being favorable creatures is attributed specifically to the Egyptian the cat goddess, Bastet.
