Roots and Blues: Something for Everyone

by Kelsey Snelgrove

I took in two days of the 27th annual Roots and Blues festival in Salmon Arm over the weekend with my kids, and a friend and her kids, to test how familyfriendly the event really was.

Off the top, kids under the age of 12 receive free admission, which is great.

The bouncy castles and climbing wall in the "Family Fun Zone" were a huge hit with the kids, as were sand pits spread throughout the fairgrounds. I took the opportunity to let my baby crawl around too and he chowed down on as much sand as his little hands could cram in his mouth.

The battle to drag the kids away from the youth activities and sit through comparability boring (from their perspectives) live music proved to be a challenge. Surrounded by world class music but stuck near the bouncy castle, we explained to the kids that attending a festival with a group means making compromises so everybody can have fun.

We managed to dance along to the music of Garifuna Collective, a world group from

lives, donated and dedicated so much of her abilities, her time and her love of community to so many and for so many years; and then don’t forget the Food she always seemed to have.

Smiles and tears, laughs and memories punctuated the short Celebration of Life Service and the refreshments, finger foods and snacks, prepared by the Legion Ladies Auxiliary, ensured everyone shared a story, reminisced and watched the family slide show of Bea, with a few more chuckles.

Although Chase has lost Bea, her legacy, her work ethic, her example and generous personality lives on in the many Community Service Clubs. The special bond that Bea and her husband Bob had with the Chase Legion Br. #107 and The Chase Legion Ladies Auxiliary will be missed, especially the Colour Party.

Bea was not Perfect, but we sure lost a very caring, giving and loving person. Thank You and for now, so long Bea. Dave + Deb Smith, Chase

Chase said goodbye, Sat. Aug. 17th, 2019; not to a politician, or an actress, or personality, sports figure or Royalty; but to Bea Mason, an amazing local resource. For decades this one woman has played such a large important role in providing Community Service in our Village of Chase.

Family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, area residents, all came to pay their last respects; to say Thank You, to Honour, and pay tribute to Bea. The Community Hall was filled with Family from all over Western Canada, friends from a dozen or more local community service clubs, a special attendance by the Grand Jewels of Canada, representatives of the Chase Museum, Chase Rod + Gun Club, Creekside Seniors, the Lions club, The Adams River Salmon Society, the Chase Legion Br. # 107, the Legion Ladies Auxiliary and her members of her Church.

Bea, a local resident, a neighbour, a mother, a daughter, a grandmother, a great grandmother, a sister, a friend, a comrade. Not just another woman. She touched so many

Village of Chase Council Meeting Highlights - August 20, 2019 Our meeting was attended by 8 members of the public. Councillor Maki was absent.

Public Hearing – 130 Aylmer Road After call to order and adoption of previous meeting minutes, Council held a public hearing for the proposed change to the Official Community Plan for a piece of property at 130 Aylmer Road.

The proponent wishes to change the community plan designation of a portion of the lands to ultimately extend the light industrial usage through a proposed zoning change.

Adjacent property owners were in the gallery to speak to the change, noting that if the zoning is ultimately changed to allow for more industrial activities, these activities will affect their quality of life as the property is very close to their home and they have small children. The Corporate Officer explained that while the Official Community Plan designation could change Council would still hold the Kristen R. From is a Certified Equine and Canine Massage and Vertebral Realignment Therapist local to Chase.

She has been running her practice throughout B.C. for 4 years and now She is looking to build her clientele closer to home.

Public Input on Current Agenda Items Council heard from members of the gallery regarding items on the agenda:

truck.

• Carolyn Parks-Mintz stated that she supports an area for off leash dogs, she supports a rainbow crosswalk initiative, the purchase of a new Fire Truck is essential, and she asked if there are budget limits for each Council member for attendance at events.

Official Community Plan Bylaw – 130 Aylmer Road Council gave third reading and adopted the Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw that was the subject of the public hearing earlier in the meeting – the change the designation of usage for a portion of 130 Aylmer Road from ‘General Residential’ to ‘Combined Light Industrial/Service Commercial’.

• Bev Iglesias asked if a $60,000 cost for an Official Community Plan includes the Village’s staff time and advertising costs.

The Corporate Officer responded that Administration’s wages are not included as they are already allocated in the annual budget as are printing and advertising costs.

• Ms. Iglesias stated that the current Official Community Plan appears to cover all that the Village needs, that projections for population in the current document are very inaccurate, and asked why the Village needs to event update/rewrite the Official Community Plan.

www.animalwellnessbc.ca 778-220-9347

• Ms. Iglesias stated that she had done a significant amount of research regarding fire trucks and wants to know who would be writing the proposal to procure a new truck.

She added that Mr. Jack Blair who worked with the Fire Department for a time did a good job and the Village should consider hiring Mr. Blair as a consultant for the procurement of a new Fire Truck.

• The Chief Financial Officer stated that a consultant will be engaged to help procure a new fire

Council and Administration provided their activity reports.

Letter regarding Future Use of Property at 950 Hysop Road Council received a letter from Janelle Iglesias suggesting that the property located at 950 Hysop Road, should be used for community greenspace.

Dog Park Council passed a resolution to include a dog park in the 2020 Budget discussions.

Official Community Plan RevisionRecommendation to Award Contract Discussion was held and a number of issues were raised: • The cost of revising the Official Community Plan seems excessive and the necessity of this exercise was questioned • Could the process not be done in-house, our Corporate Officer already knows what is missing from the existing plan • While the existing plan contains inaccurate information and does not include a number of provisions that are requirements of the Local Government Act, there is so little land available for development in Chase so it seems a waste of time and money to revise the current plan Continued on next page...

Obituary Valery Reid 1943 - 2019 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Valery Reid (Carate, Spafford), beloved mother, Nana, cousin and friend. She passed peacefully in her sleep on August 3rd with her daughters by her side. She was 76.

Val was born on May 11, 1943, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She left Winnipeg very young with her foster parents, Mildred and Bruce Spafford, settling in Prince Rupert.. On March 28, 1962, she married Terrence Morley Reid.

They raised three daughters, Marjorie, Robin, and Teresa.

Val was an avid gardener her whole life. She loved animals, and always had a cat or two (or three) around. She was an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion for most of her adult life.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Val on Saturday, September 7th at 4pm in the Chase Legion, downstairs. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate your support of Pawprints Animal Rescue Foundation of Chase - a memorial fundraiser was created in Val’s name after this generous pet rescue took in her longtime feline friend, Tabitha, after her passing.

Alan passed away at home surrounded by his family and dear friends at the age of 74 after a lengthy battle with cancer. He is survived by Dorothy, his loving wife of 57 years. His 99 year old father, Bill Pineo and predeceased by his mother, Pamela Pineo. Also survived by his son Todd (Carolyn) Pineo of Kamloops and daughter Deanna (Steve) Hadada of Gabriola Island. Alan also had 5 grandchildren Darcie (Tim), Miranda (Richard), Scott, Allison, Brett and step granddaughter Laina (David) and great grandchildren Mari, Finlee and step great grandchildren Benjamin and Brody. Also his sister Linda (Paul) Lawry, nephew Paul Lawry great nephews, Paul and Ryan .

Alan was born in Oxford, England in 1944. At the age of 6 months, Alan and his mother landed at Pier 21 in Halifax and boarded a train heading for Port Alberni where they anxiously awaited the return of his father from war. When Alan was 11, his family moved to Nanaimo where he met his childhood sweetheart. They married at the age of 15 and 17, and their journey together began.

There just isn’t enough that can be said about the life Alan has led. From sea to land to sky, his life travels and adventures are what some of us can only dream of.

Alan’s number one love and priority was his family and we are all very grateful for that. The memories we all share will soothe us in the years to come.

His last words of wisdom to his beloved grandchildren were “Be compassionate”. Something he had shown to everyone throughout his life and for that we are very grateful.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Should friends desire donations to the SPCA would be appreciated.

Soar high Dad and watch over us.
