Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides Fellowship Award
Volunteers are the backbone to strong organizations and are rarely honoured for their dedication.

Lorna Douglas, Hannelore Wiesenthal and Beverley Iglesias were honoured by the Club for the countless volunteering hours they give within the community. The Lions Foundation of Canada Guide Dogs Fellowship Award is an excellent way to give recognition to an “all around good Lion or Lioness”.

Chase Opinion page Real Estate Market About to Heat Up It’s been a long time coming, but it seems the real estate market in our fair village is about to experience a significant uptick in values. During the massive boom of the early 2000’s and steady price increases of the last few years in BC; the value of homes in Chase has remained stubbornly low. However, that is about to change and the winds may have already started to blow that way. Of course, the construction of the Pinnacle Pellet Plant and its 45 good, family-supporting jobs would have accelerated and firmed up this process; but even without this town-saving economic development our property values are in for a big boost.

Submitted by Ryan Foster Home prices in Kamloops, and to a smaller extent, Salmon Arm have continued a steady climb upward with no real slowdown. Prices in these cities have now become largely unaffordable for the average home buyer. Two-bedroom condos built in the 1980’s are now going for $250,000 to $300,000 in the ‘Loops, while, large new family homes are likely to set you back a cool half million to $750,000. While somewhat more affordable, things aren’t much better in Salmon Arm. Since the pricing of real estate is significantly less in Chase, a strong contingent of commuters is likely looking to start calling Chase home. The difference in the housing
prices far outweighs any additional costs in gas and automobile maintenance. This will increase demand throughout the village and lead to more value in properties. Furthermore, when the four-laning of the Trans-Canada from Monte Creek to Hoffman’s Bluff is complete this will bring even more former Kamloops residents looking for value as the trip will be much faster. And the most obvious reason? Chase is a beautiful and friendly village with a lake, mountain views and lots of natural beauty. The two schools and our friendly, smalltown ways are also big draws. If you’re thinking of purchasing property in Chase, now would be the time to get on board.

TEN questions With....
This week we skipped over a few people due to flu and cold bugs that are going around, and ended up talking to carpenter Gary Gagnon, (Gary P Gagnon Construction). Q• I was told that you have been on a fishing trip with Pierre Trudeau? A • My dad and him grew up together in Quebec. he came to visit my dad here. This must have been around 1976. At the time is was a secret, his driver just dropped him off and then he stayed at my dad’s place and nobody was allowed to say that he was here. He was a nice man. Q • How did you end up in Chase? A • We moved here on the flip of a coin, it was either here or Rocky Mountain House, AB. It came up Chase, we were going to live here for 5 years and then move to Rocky. We have now been here 30 years. Q•What kept you here? A • The weather. The access to outdoor living. Why would you go anywhere else in the world, you’ve got the lake, the mountains, you’ve got every thing here. I like the way that Chase is run, I think the local government is good. We have a limited amount of people who do a lot of work. Q • What are you most looking forward to this spring? A • Golf. I love the game. I will golf with anybody and everybody, on different courses. If I am not playing I am practicing. Q • What do you think Chase needs? A • Chase needs a face lift, it needs a theme. I think they have done the ‘salmon run’ theme to death. It could be remodeled
more like a modern version of a western with post and beam, it needs continuity. We used to have a campground that brought 500 people here in the summer every day and this town thrived. It needs recreation for out of town people to come in and spend their time. Q• What did you want to be when you grew up? A • I knew from when I was 10 years old that I wanted to be a carpenter. My dad was a master carpenter and his dad, all going back to 1740 they are all carpenters, my dad did the family tree. My two sons are carpenters too. Q • Do you still work a lot? A • I’m semi-retired so I only work 5 days a week now.... But no, I can’t retire I love the work and I know it’s good for my body. Q • What kind of vacations do you take? A • There are two kinds of vacations I take. Golf trips, and vacations with my wife. Our favorite holiday we have ever been on was New York City. She likes to shop and I like architecture. I was totally blown away at how clean New York is. Q • Whats some good advice? A • I learned the secret of life probably too late in life, but the secret of life is ‘Don’t waste your time’. Time is the only thing in life you can’t get back. You can get your health back, you can make money back but you cannot get time back. Also, family is the most important thing. I do everything with my family. Q • Who should we talk to next? A • Brooke Kynoch.

Book about Shuswap conservation out by Jim Cooperman
Big Trees Saved and Other Feats – The story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society by well known author Deanna Kawatski, is now on sale at Willows Natural Foods, the Chase Museum and at book stores in Salmon Arm. Big Trees Saved documents the highlights of the twenty-five year history of the Shuswap’s major environmental organization. Over the years SEAS’s hard work and dedication has resulted in 25,000 hectares of new parks in the Shuswap, including the Upper Seymour River rainforest, and the magnificent Anstey Arm Hunakwa Lake wilderness area. Further, thousands of hectares of old growth forest were set aside, and forest management was vastly improved, leading to better protection for n on - t i m b e r forest values. In 2008 SEAS rallied to stop West
Beach, a proposed marina and condominium development, from being built at the mouth of the Adams, one of the most significant sockeye salmon spawning rivers in the world. Even though the provincial government failed to purchase the property to add to Roderick Haig-Brown Park, as SEAS had hoped, the new Cottonwoods Campground includes public access to the beach, removal of buoys, a continuation of RV parking with no condominiums, and restoration of important fish habitat. First SEAS changed the map of the Shuswap through the creation of new parks, and then in 2010 it helped produce the first map of the Shuswap watershed in a poster format. Praise for Big Trees Saved is already coming in. Famed author Stephen Hume wrote, “Engaged, activist citizens are the heartbeat of every healthy democracy. In that sense, the 25-year story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society is the story of us - the story of who we are and who we can be - and Big Trees Saved is a book that anyone who cares about where we live will want on their bookshelf.” For more information about the book, visit www. seas.ca. The 124-page book sells for $20 and can also be purchased online, at www.shuswappress.ca.

BOOK REVIEW by Annelise Grube-Cavers
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
I’ll start by saying that this book is not for everyone. Capote is a journalist, following the capture and prosecution of two killers in Kansas in the 1960s. The killing changed a whole town from a quiet and peaceful rural setting to one where neighbours suspected one another. The most interesting aspect of the case is in demonstrating the odds these two men faced in their own lives. Between them and their victims is a vast social inequality based on economics and race. While you are not left with pity for the actors of the heinous crime,
it leaves you with a new awareness of what some people suffer through in the world, and how that can affect them mentally and emotionally. Written in a way that is detailed and follows the case with rigorous analysis, this book provides insight In Cold Blood into how people can be capable of by Truman terrible acts, and Capote how communities can overcome challenges.

Over 100 bowlers visited Chase for Bowl-a-Spiel submitted by Village Lanes
If you happened to meander past Village Lanes Fun Center this past weekend you may have noticed a few things; the parking lot jam packed full of vehicles, the smell of a good ole steak (more like 100) sizzling on the barbecue and alas the sound of intense cheering from spectators and bowlers as they bowled into the wee hours of the night Friday, and all day Saturday and Sunday! It was our 2nd Annual February Bowl-A-Spiel which brought 100+ bowlers to Chase this weekend, with teams
from coming all the way from Alberta and 100 Mile House as well as Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon and many locals. In the end, only 3 teams would reign champs. In the A division, bowling out of Village Lanes was Team Buresh. The B division from Village Lanes, Team Dodds; Elmer Dodds, Doug Brown, Janet Veldhoen Ande and Matt Wagstaff. C Division champs from Village Lanes as well was Team Shuswapins; Brandy Jules, Jeff Chelsea, Ada Jules and Charmayne Jules!
Team Buresh is Dale Seaman, Linda Buresh, Jean Seaman, and Linda Woodford Placing 2nd through 4th in the A's were Team Arnouse, Team Williams and Team Holt. In the B's was Team Thiessen, Team Waters and Team Gabriel. The C's were Team Geddes, Team Mindel and Team Jules! All winning cash prizes! Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everybody for making this year's Bowl-A-Spiel a huge success!
