New Era for the Sunflower
I
by Kelsey Snelgrove
f you are reading this then I have succeeded in getting my first issue of the Chase Sunflower out! Between moving office and setting it up full of finicky technology, this week has been quite a challenge. My head is spinning with new information about printer drivers, postscript compatability and operating systems. A lot of midnight oil was burnt this week; I’m going to venture a guess that this is the first time the Sunflower has stayed open later than the liquor store! The good news is that it should get easier from here. I surprised even myself by taking over the Chase Sunflower. Although I have a

background in newspapers, since moving to Chase in 2010 I have been completely dedicated to organic farming and the homesteading lifestyle. Change is the essense of life though and I am keen to see the community through a different lens. Putting this first issue together has been such a learning experience. I am shocked how fast the pages filled up; please stay posted for Council Updates and other items that I didn’t have time or space for in this issue. I’ve had some feedback already about what people want to see in the Sunflower, but I’d like more! If there is anything you’d love to see included or if you are part of a community group that has publishable content, please get in touch with me. I’d like reports or columns from all different facets of the community - from the schools or other youth groups, churches, sports teams, hobby groups, volunteer/ non profit activities and special events. Of course I wouldn’t turn down tried and tested recipes and jokes. Despite my high stress level the past week, I am enjoying my office space at 721 Shuswap Avenue. I am hosting an “open house” at Sunflower Headquarters on Friday, January 16th from 3 - 6 pm. Come by, wish me luck, bring me a knick-knack for my office. The walls of my office are freshly painted, but bare; I’m looking for artists to fill them up with sellable art. I would love the Sunflower Headquarters to be a creative hub in town. Thank you for all the support I’ve received so far, especially from the advertisers who make a FREE paper possible!
