Charity Pie; Hall needs new stove
W
hat is the heart of any small town if not the old hall? The Chase Community Hall is no exception, with its wood floors and high ceilings used nearly every night of the week for activities from square dancing to archery practice to craft sales. It has a lot of history and has seen a lot of use. The current stove is nearly 25 year old and has cooked for many events including weddings and funerals, meetings and dances. With all this use the stove has become unreliable and in need of replacement. “It’s time to retire the old girl!” said Bev Iglesias, who volunteers in the kitchen often for different events. The floor in the kitchen has been worn through and also needs replacing. Iglesias is one of the women
spearheading this effort through a pie and coffee fundraiser. The group invites you buy a ticket for a piece of pie with coffee or tea for $20.00 and come to the unveiling of the new floor and stove on May 3rd in the Community Hall Basement between 1:00 and 8:00 pm. Your choice of Apple, Coconut Cream or Lemon Meringue. Support the cause with a whole pie for $100. This fundraiser is just another chapter in the Halls’ history; the current hall was built in 1951 largely by volunteers. According to an undated article found in the Chase Museum, the hall was formally opened on May 24, 1952 with a “spectacular dance attended by over 1000 people”! ....CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Community Hall, Continued from Page 1 In the sixties the Hall was managed by the Chase Women’s Institute, an organization affiliated with the Department of Agriculture who did not have to pay taxes. This group of women managed the hall with excellent catering services, banquets, and dances until it was turned over the Village of Chase. In 1990 a major refurbish of the hall took place, and although many items
have changed since the upgrades of 199091, the stove in the kitchen is now nearing 25 years old. Now the current day group of local women is looking for your support; “IT’S TIME FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PULL TOGETHER”. You must get your tickets in advance by calling: Beverley Iglesias - 250-371-7136. Stay tuned for more info.

Word Search - HAPPINESS, EQUALITY, POETRY... & Sparrows
Hard to chose just one theme when World Poetry Day, The International Day of Happiness, World Sparrow Day AND International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination are all clustered together (March 20 & 21)! So here is a mash up of all the above. Onomatopoeias are words whose sounds suggest their meaning. Example: Buzz. Sparrows are a family of small passerine birds, which includes more than half of all bird species. A notable feature of passerines is the arrangement of their toes (three pointing forward and one back) which facilitates perching. Assonance - two words in the same line having similar vowel sounds. Ex. The owl flew out of the room.

instead of having to visit the Village office. If you see an item you would like to discuss, or require further information, you can call the Village office and our fantastic office staff will be able to put you in touch with the most relevant person. Did you know you can also contact Council members directly? This community elected Council and they are there to listen to your comments and concerns! Committee of the Whole is held the first Tuesday of each month and there is an op-
portunity for the public to voice their concerns at the end of that meeting. It doesn’t have to be a concern about an item on the Agenda but anything you as a member of the community feel needs addressing. It isn’t a forum for debate but a place to raise concerns. If you don’t care for the other options, you could even email us at chase@chasebc.ca Oh, and if you have a compliment for a job well done we take those too!

Our Shuswap by Bob Brown
If you want to get away from the city and you’re looking for a lovely place to stay if you want clean air and scenery so pretty the Shuswap will show you the way Travelling from the west coast heading east toward the sun you’ve got to a cozy village called Chase on Highway One Named for a man called Whitfield around the year 05 where the gates of the Shuswap unfold before your eyes Crossing the river at Squilax home of the Pow Wow land then on to the Mighty Adams richest Sockeye known to man Up past Copper Island to settlements large and small and onto Seymor Arm Ogden City they used to call The people who still live here are trying to build a new where the white sands of the shuswap still mystify a few Bob Brown, who is Whitfield Chase’s great grandson, wrote this song in 1986. He has a 6 song CD called “That was then, This is Now”. CFJC has a copy, you can phone in to request it if you like.
END OF ICE AGE SPRINGING AT RINK
by Scott Koch As Minor Hockey and the Chase HEAT wind down their hockey seasons the ice at Art Holding Memorial Arena will soon melt and disappear for a few months. Prior to that happening the HEAT are holding a Spring Camp for Junior Prospects. The camp will be held Friday to Sunday, March 27-29th and there is no charge to watch the young hopefuls thrill, chill and whirl their way into potential spots on the 2015-16 roster. Director of Hockey Operations Brad Fox has been busy attending other camps, showcases and tournaments in an effort to recruit talented young hockey players. At this time of year the seeds are planted for the building of the next season’s lineup. Veterans have graduated from Junior Hockey and move on to the University/College ranks, others seek employment, some may be traded and the result is an ever changing group of young men representing the red, white and black of the Chase HEAT. Come August the ice will be back in at AHMA and the arena will be humming with preseason hockey related activities. Till then this space may tell you the tale of the coyote chased beautiful pheasant at
Pittendreigh’s and who actually owns it…or encourages you to buy early bird (no pun intended) season tickets for 2015-16.
BOOK REVIEW by Annelise Grube-Cavers
The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival by John Vaillant Set in Siberia’s isolated taiga – a distinct sub-arctic jungle – this book follows one of the remaining Amur tigers. It’s non-fiction with a strong narrative, that of a tiger who kills and eats humans, and the search for that tiger. Blending the various accounts of locals, hunters and tiger-specialists, John Vaillant includes facts about the cultural meaning of tigers, and how they are both feared and revered. He tells of historic hunts, the tigers’ brush with extinction, and their role in the ecology, and economy,
of current times. This is a good book, although I found that there was too much emphasis on the emotional and cognitive processes experienced by the man-eating tiger. Maybe this is just another way in which tigers are being revered, but to me it seemed to border on fiction. A good book, by a great author, if you want to learn more about the taiga, look up the documentary called Happy People.

The Cloud submitted by Lakeside Techinical Solutions
Let’s start with a brief history review. Decades ago, before Personal Computers, in the days of the corporate mainframe, everything was stored in a central system and accessed by employees through ‘dumb’ terminals over a network. Important business information was kept safe, secure and up to date. Bring back memories anyone? Enter the Personal Computer in the 80’s and suddenly it became possible for programs and files to be stored locally, freeing us up from the need to be connected to the ‘mothership’ in order to access our data. Everyone in the office had their own PC with their own programs and data stored on their own hard drive. That was great but it wasn’t long before the business world realized this strategy created all kinds of issues around data integrity, data security and data backup. No-one knew where the most current version of a document resided, confidential company data was easily stolen and PC’s were crashing without any backups in place. So, companies quickly reverted to a model where users would manage their own files but critical company data would go back to being stored centrally and accessed as needed over the corporate network. Safe, secure, up to date and accessible to all. Jump to modern times and the proliferation of the Internet. Suddenly we are all connected in one big network called the World Wide Web. Now some of the benefits of central storage can be enjoyed by the general population. It wasn’t long before Internet companies began installing huge amounts of storage and offering users their own space. It started with email (e.g. Gmail from Google and hotmail from Microsoft). Eventually, other online storage services started to appear (e.g. Flickr for storing and sharing pictures), most of which were offered at no charge. Enter
the 21st century and the explosive growth in the numbers of internet users and Internet capable devices. Now, almost everyone is connected and there is some real opportunity for Internet companies hoping to lure us into actually paying for the ability to store our personal data online on their servers. First though, the Internet was given a new, sexier name, “The Cloud”, and major companies like Microsoft, Google and Apple are all working hard to sign us up to their services. Some of the big names in the online storage game are Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Apple iCloud but there are many . The real value of these systems? Multiple computers can automatically, magically stay in sync over the Internet. So if you take a photo on your iPhone for example, it can be automatically copied to your laptop PC at home, creating an instant backup. Or, you may want to show your new friends in Mexico the pictures of your dog stored on your desktop computer at home. No problem, as long as you have Internet access. Is it safe? Given the amount of data that's already winging its way into that mysterious tech cloud, it might be too late to ask that question, but I think the privacy of your cloud data is more dependent on the individual companies than the Internet itself. You can bet the big players are doing everything possible to keep your data safe and secure. Regardless, it is a given that someone in those organizations will have access to any data you choose to store out there. My recommendation would be that if you choose to use these services, I wouldn’t be storing your banking info out there just yet, but for non-confidential data, there is some real value to the possibilities these cloud services can offer us now and in the future. Give it a try. Almost all have free trials available. Phone: 250-955-0816 E-mail: techsupport@lakesidetech.ca www.lakesidetech.ca
