FRUIT STAND GONE FOR GOOD

By Kelsey Snelgrove

For many, Golden Ears Fruit Stand is synonymous with summer time in the Shuswap. Every spring tourists and locals alike start thinking about getting their fresh fruit fix and checking to see when Golden Ears Fruit Stand will be opening for the season.

That tradition won’t be continuing any longer, as the stand will be bulldozed to make way for the Four Laning of Highway One. Don Cavers, who has been selling corn on the highway for over 34 years, built the iconic fruit stand in 1991.

Initially he sold his own field and greenhouse pro du c e and nursery products but as demand grew so did the range of products, especially Okanagan tree fruits.

“I always tried to deal with growers who had tree ripened fruit so we inevitably got a percentage of bruised fruit. This led me into making jams and pies,” said Cavers.

The pies developed a following and he estimates the fruit stand sold over 2000 pies every season.

He also tried to estimate how much corn he has picked over the years; “I could only guesstimate that it was over 100,000 dozen. Amazing what our bodies will tolerate!”

In the last decade, Don’s son took over the farming side and has done more marketing through CSA’s and the Kamloops Farmers Market, while the fruit stand operated separately and has drawn produce from a variety of local growers.

Cavers has many good memories from the many years and many visitors and employees over the years.

“The best memories are seeing people and their kids with peach juice running off their chins and huge smiles on their

faces. Lots of repeat customers over the years but hard to remember many of them when there were sometimes 600 a day coming through.”

Cavers, who will be 72 this year, expressed ambivalence about this forced retirement.

“It’s not easy to see 35 years of work erased by a stroke of the pen but I’m trying to convince myself it was time to take it easier,” said Cavers.

He has doubts about the highway project in general.

“Is it really progress when local businesses are removed to let people get from Vancouver to Calgary faster?” pondered Cavers.

“My business and land has been expropriated and is gone completely but many others will feel the impact. I’m sure many are unaware of just how many people we have directed to local businesses, the Chase Falls, or the beach,” said Cavers.

In addition to the fruit stand Cavers had an active gravel business, imported and sold vehicles and equipment and had a geothermal heat pump drilling and installation business, and an electric vehicle charging station, all based on the property where the fruit stand is.

“I’m moving the Electric Charging building to another site, along with the EV chargers to a property I have on Hillside Avenue, where I have long wanted to develop affordable seniors housing in Chase,” said Cavers.

In the future Cavers says he will be spending more time sailing on the coast and in the Okanagan and some off-shore sailing.

“I’ve also picked up the guitar and have been getting more involved in the vibrant local music scene. I will have more time to visit with family and my two young grand daughters,” said Cavers.

Village of Chase “Village Cracks Down on Dog Deposits The Village of Chase is initiating a new program to catch dog owners who do not pick up their dog’s deposits.

Starting April 1, 2017, a drone will be utilized to pick up dog feces and conduct DNA testing on each sample.

All dogs’ DNA will be captured in a database at the Village office – DNA from feces can then be matched with DNA of the offending dog, and owners who have not picked up their dog’s deposits will receive a $500 for each deposit left behind. The M a y o r of Chase supports this program, and has stated, “It is about time we get into the 21st century by using advanced technology to catch dog owners who do not pick up after their dogs.”

Welcome!

Q&A What does the library have to offer?

Public libraries are a place to be.

Perhaps this century’s town square.

The space is meant to be accessible to everybody. All ages and backgrounds.

It is not necessary to belong to any particular group or buy anything in order to use the library space. Whether meeting with others or spending time alone, this public indoor environment is something unique in modern society.

Warm in the winter and cool in the summer, it is a haven; surrounded by information, it is a portal to the world beyond us. And you don’t need a library card for that.

The collection of materials that can be borrowed is what probably first springs to mind when thinking about the library. Here in Chase, there are: Books, of course…

For all ages. Both fiction and nonfiction can be found in sections such as children’s, juvenile, young adult (YA), and adult. Adult fiction is further divided into general fiction, sci-fi, mystery, horror, war, western, and romance sections. There is also a largeprint section and an audiobook section.

Graphic novels/comic books can be found in the juvenile, young adult, and adult sections.

DVDs and CDs Yeah! For free! There are a few new titles every month.

Magazines and Newspapers Chase Sunflower, Kamloops and Salmon Arm newspapers. BC Outdoors, MacLean’s, National Geographic, People, and Popular Mechanics magazines are some of the 15+ magazines the library subscribes to.

Computers and such Three computers, available firstcome, first-serve, on a time limit. Two iPads available upon request for small children to play educational games on.

Printing and photocopying available (20cents/page).

Curling Congrats!

Let your friends know and meet up for some social connection, or just drop by and see what’s up.

Online Resources The Library System website is www. tnrdlib.ca. Besides being able to search the catalogue, there are several online resources, such as the Auto Repair Reference Centre, digital magazines and newspapers, e-books and -audiobooks, article databases (like a catalogue, only for articles instead of books), InstantFlix (online video streaming), language learning, and so much more.

Chase Library is part of a larger system, and cardholders have access to the entire collection. The books, DVDs, magazines, etc. on the shelves here are a fraction of what is available. Check out the website and/or ask a library worker for help finding what you need.

A Closer Look at the Chase Museum easy for you GoldenGolden Ears Farm And with the invaluable help of generously give of their time and talent Ricky (Ulrike) Ears Hedrich Farm numerous volunteers, Phoenix-like, in overseeing operations.

A presentsB the Chase Museum, whose structure remained intact, rose from the ashes, resilient and better than before.

And then there’s the Laviolette (“Lovelette”) cabin located next to the museum proper. Dating from the early 1900’s and once the Turtle Valley family home of Richard and Sarah (Cinmenak, of the Neskonlith band), this main part of a settler’s rustic residence is an absolute gem. Its donation to the museum in 2007 initiated sourcing of funds, its careful transportation, the support of many area businesses and the village, heritage restoration, First Nations elder’s blessing, and the collective efforts of a band of keen volunteers under the guidance of Roger Behn, long the impetus behind Chase Museum development.

Curator Ball has definitely found her calling at the museum. “I so enjoy and appreciate the creativity involved with my work,” she reports. “My education included art as a major, and it’s my first passion. As well, I really like people, meeting them, talking with them. And of course, I love the stories and provenance of old things.”

This important repository of days gone by welcomes visitors and researchers year-round.

Interesting and welldocumented artifacts take one back in time—figuratively and literally—for guests of the museum can don costumes and be photographed in front of the beautiful and extensive Underwood Hotel bar exhibit (circa 1911)—recording their visit to Chase’s yesterday for the future.

In addition to its well-designed exhibits, the museum’s archives and resources are comprehensive, covering so much of what Chase has been—textual records, citizens, businesses organizations, photos, maps, cemetery registers, subject files, and obituaries, to name a few.

The museum’s dedicated volunteer Board of Directors includes Anne Lamoureux, Roger Behn, Sher Dickson, Billie Phillips, Janie Emeny, Dick Hermann and Bea Mason who

Chase welcomes you What makes Chase an ideal location to retire? Is it the beautiful surroundings, the lake, the salmon run, the close proximity to Kamloops, Salmon Arm or the Shuswap lake? Could it be the laid back village environment where everyone says hi and cares for one another? We have a first class arena, curling rink, bowling lane, community hall, seniors centre and a 9 hole golf course to die for. Plus, yes, we have the privilege of being one of the first communities in the country to allow golf carts on the streets of our village in a pilot project that the rest of Canada will be watching very closely. In a nutshell, we are a retirement and tourist village of

2400 inhabitants.

The number one attraction is located in the north east corner known as the Sunshore Golf Course. It is short, flat, inexpensive to play and the place to meet new friends who are more than willing to show you the ropes and make you feel like you have lived here forever.

So my friend, what are you waiting for?

Call to-day 679-3021 . Be a part of the best kept secret around.

You will not be disappointed and, oh!

We have 3 doctors to keep you going forever.

Warm Fuzzies

the Sunflower has received lately “That's a really neat little newspaper. I love the creativity.”

“I enjoy doing your puzzles but one thing keeps bugging me... Sudoku is the correct word... I think your paper is the real deal- full of lots of info on everything.”

“I was looking for a rental out there and your newspaper is the only one that listed anything. I like the colors, nice community newspaper.”

“You should be congratulated for stewarding this small paper to success. I bank in Chase and try to pick up a copy when I’m there.”

“All outstanding, you beat all the rest.”

Prose Look and Learn © Carolyn Parks Mintz

It stands ghostly in the dusk Centre of a well-ploughed field Metal turned to rust Vines growing up stone at will Its past completely turned to dust Belfry now without a bell Its vacant windows staring So quiet, so lonely Locks and boards it is wearing What are the stories it could tell?

We are our past, our history The future’s not such mystery If we look back, return If we look back and learn Much happened in this sacred place People sang and prayed and cried The Book, The Word, the ritual For those newborn, those who died Past, just bricks and mortar remain Walls rise in silent testament To lives and ceremony gone Is there a sound, murmured keening?

Spirits here for one last song?

For those who’ve left?—a sacrament We are our past, our history The future’s not such mystery If we look back, return If we look back and learn

Terry Keith Anderson (Kiki)

On Thursday March 9, 2017, Terry passed away suddenly and peacefully at home, sitting in his arm chair in the early morning hours after completing his night shift at the mill.

Terry was born February 28, 1962. He lived his life in Chase and worked at the Adams Lake lumber mill since he was 18 years old. He loved fishing, hunting and his coffees at A+W with friends who enjoyed his great sense of humour.

He will be sadly missed by his family, coworkers, Arrow boys and his many, many friends.

Terry is predeceased by his father Soren in 1981, his mother Julienne in 1989 and his brother David in 1983.

He is survived by his best friend and partner Wanda Pickell, his sisters Sharon (Laurence), Arlene, Kathy, his brother Allan (Lorell), nieces Nola, Candice, Alivia and Madasin, nephews Curtis, Shawn, Russell, Mason and Ryker.

We had an open house on Sunday March 12th and want to thank all those who attended for their kind words and memories. Thank you for all the cards, flowers and food. Also, a special thank you to Adams Lake Lumber who contributed so much.

Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250554-2324. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Pin Chatter: News from the Bowling Alley

by Cayln Buresh, Village Lanes

Another great weekend at Village Lanes, and we are inching closer and closer to the end of our season!

We were happy to host the Chase Fire Department fundraiser on Saturday night! What a ball!

We were joined by five surrounding Fire Departments, as they competed against each other in the first annual Firefighters Challenge!

A big congratulations to the Adams Lake Fire Department who took home this year’s trophy, along with $160.00!

Funds from this event were donated to Victim Services! Please keep in mind, that if you have a fundraiser in mind, they are our specialty! We love hosting them, and helping in any way that we can!

Sunday was a beautiful day to host a Zone Championship. We had eight local Club 55 teams bowling for the chance to head to the Bert

Hill Provincial Finals in Vancouver in May. A job well done to Guy and Janet Alden, Karl Berglund, Sharron Mindel, and Marg Nelson. They will be representing Chase and Village Lanes at this year’s tournament.

Just because our Fall/ Winter leagues have almost come to and end, we’re not ready for Summer just yet! We will be offering an eightweek Spring League, happening on both Wednesday or Thursday evenings. Registration will be $20.00, and the weekly bowling fee will be $13.00. If you are looking for something to do this Spring, why not join us?

Another reminder to always call ahead for public bowling registrations, as we are in full swing with weekly tournaments. Cheers, and all the best for this weekend!

Brian William Watson March 19, 1956 - April 3, 2016

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I had to say goodbye to the man I love so much. My heart is still absolutely broken, he was everything to me. He was always there for me. There will never be anyone who could replace him. He was so proud of our four children - Derek, Robin, Aleasha, and Ben. They will be here for me. He just adored our six grand children and they still ask about him all the time. It’s hard for them to understand that grandpa’s not coming home. What a terrible tragedy it is when such a wonderful person had to be taken needlessly away from us this way. My dear Brian will remain in our hearts forever.
