CAIRN DEDICATION
E
submitted by the Chase Museum
veryone is invited to attend the official dedication of the new cairn, conceived and constructed by the Chase Museum and Archives Society as participation in the CANADA 150 activities. This will be an event of considerable significance to the history of the area, so please, mark your calendars and make every effort to attend. Dedication of the cairn is scheduled to take place at the Museum, at 11:00AM on Saturday, May 05, and is expected to be attended by appropriate members of government, and representatives of the Village of Chase and local indigenous participants. Members of the public are invited, and will be welcome at this event. The cairn, as seen in the accompanying photograph, is a four-sided, stonefaced concrete structure about five feet high, topped by a brass bell from one
of the Canadian Pacific Railway steam locomotives that helped to build the western part of this country. The cairn contains a time capsule, to be opened at a future date. Major funding for the cairn was provided by a grant from the BC Museums Association. Support was also provided by the Village of Chase, the Little Shuswap (Skw’lax) Indian Band, the Nesconlith (Sk’atsin te Secwepémc) Indian Band, and the Adams Lake (Cstélec te Secwepémc) Indian Band. The support of all parties is recognized by individual plaques mounted on the structure. The brass bell mounted on the top of the cairn was originally donated by the CPR, to the Church that was the original occupant of the building that now houses the Chase Museum.

The Editor’s Spot: by Kelsey Snelgrove “Libérée, Délivrée
Well, much like a typical New Year’s Resolution, my weekly Editor’s Spot fell off the track before we were even a month into 2018. Between high stress and low health levels, it was all too easy to give the Editor’s Spot the chop each week. I continue to receive positive feedback on what I did write though, and as a result of the many encouraging words I have received from readers, I will bring back the Editor’s Spot whenever I can. For this week I will leave you with a miracle I recently witnessed. My family went to the new huge thrift store in Kamloops and my preschool aged daughter found the toy section in .01 seconds flat and when I went to find her she had a selection of toys that she was clearly gunning for. The centerpiece though was an Elsa piggybank (Elsa is from the Disney movie Frozen, for the uninitiated) that belted out the flagship song “Let It Go” LOUDLY at the push of a button. It’s a heavy duty piggybank, with a significant weight to it. There was no off button, only a switch that made her sing the song in French (“Libérée, Délivrée”). When I told her she could pick out one of the toys, of course she picked Elsa. She
Feel Confident All Day and Everyday!
looked SO HAPPY. I felt my life flashing before my eyes with this loud princess now included in it. I really didn’t want to bring this thing home but I had already said yes, and I am a bit of a sucker. We don’t do much shopping so I don’t have a ton of experience with the whole toy negotiating thing. She lugged it around the store for 20 minutes. At just the sight of it, little girls around were inspired to yell/sing “Let it Go” at full tilt. I was wondering how we were going to even survive the 45 minutes car ride back to Chase with our loud new family member. It was time to head towards the check out when my daughter said, “This thing is freakin’ heavy. Let’s leave it.” I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. “This thing is freakin’ heavy.” More beautiful words were never spoken. It was such a shock to me. I think I ditched Elsa in the bathmat section, I can’t be sure because I definitely didn’t look back. ------------------------------Hope to see lots of you at the Shuswap Experience Trade Show this weekend at the arena on Saturday. Stop by the Sunflower’s table and say hi!

Village of Chase Council Budget Meeting Highlights April 30, 2018 submitted by Village of Chase
Mayor and Council met on Monday, April 30, 2018 at 3 p.m. to discuss the Village's 2018 and 2019 Capital Budget and to consider 1st two readings of the Financial Plan Bylaw for 2018-2022. The Chief Financial Officer presented information to Council and the public in relation to the 2017 capital projects and how they were funded: • The sewer upgrade project was funded from gas tax, grant funding, statutory reserves and surplus • The Mill Park Lift Pump Project was completed - the budgeted funds were $30,000, and the project cost $28,275 • The Aylmer Road sewer line lowering project cost $115,384 • In 2017, $70,436 was expended to complete a waterline loop project on Aylmer Road The CFO then referred to the 2018 and 2019 capital budgets: • In 2018, sewer line cleaning and video scoping on Hillside Avenue is proposed at a cost of $10,000 • In 2019, the installation of sewer lines and connection points along VLA road is proposed to provide sewer service to the properties on VLA within the Village's boundaries • In 2018, the water conservation plan will be completed at a cost of $10,500, Hillside Aylmer Road waterline upgrades are budgeted for design in 2018 at a cost of $15,000 and $200,000 in 2019 to perform the works • A new chlorination module for the water treatment plant is proposed for 2019 at a cost of $10,000 • A current state analysis of the Official Community Plan is proposed for 2018 at a cost of $7,000 - this will provide Council with information as to whether a full review of the OCP is necessary or if only some portions of the plan need review • $30,000 is carried over in 2018 to complete the Hillside Road improvements • An air compressor is proposed for the Fire Department for 2018 at a cost of

$18,000 $18,000 is budgeted for the retro fit of a Public Works truck to install a plow and sander box $15,000 is proposed in 2018 to do a full assessment of the Community Hall to provide information to Council as to what upgrades need to be done $8,100 is proposed in 2018 to replace a compressor cube at the Arena $20,000 is proposed in the 2018 budget to address drainage issues at the Arena $5,000 is budgeted to replace the water meter at the golf cours
The Chief Financial Officer provided an overview of the revenue sources attributable to the proposed capital projects. Council then reviewed the proposed 2018-2022 Financial Plan Budget Bylaw. The CFO explained several areas of the Schedule which includes all the budget areas (operational, capital, debt payments) in one sheet. She noted that the Arena Debenture is $105,150 per year, the CP Rail crossings upgrade payments are $18,500 per year until 2021, and there are two debentures attributed to the water utility and one attributed to the sewer service. The CFO then discussed amortization and noted that it is prudent for all local governments to ‘amortize’ assets and put that money away to help with future replacement. She explained that the amount a local government puts away each year for assets depends on many factors putting some funds away annually shows due diligence. 2018 to 2022 Financial Plan Bylaw 852-2018 Council gave first and second readings to the 2018 to 2022 Financial Plan Bylaw. The public will be given an opportunity to provide input and ask questions of Council at an upcoming meeting, the date and time still to be determined. The meeting concluded at 4:08 p.m. Council’s next regularly scheduled meeting is May 8, 2018 at 4 p.m.

Recycling Challenges submitted by Village of Chase
As most of you are now aware, the large recycle bin that had been located at the West end of the Art Holding Memorial Arena parking lot has been permanently closed and the bin removed. While this bin made it very convenient for many people to drop their recyclables, the depot was ‘unmanned’ and unfortunately was nearly always contaminated with non-recyclable materials. Often, mattresses, household garbage, Styrofoam and other materials not accepted in the bin were thrown in the bin amongst the recyclable materials. Sometime people placed their plastic bags in the bin, which are recyclable but not through the TNRD’s program. Unfortunately, placing items in a recycle bin does not make them necessarily recyclable. Several concerns have been raised since the bin was removed: “Why didn’t the TNRD provide a staff person to man the bin?”; “Why are we at the mercy of China for our recyclable materials?” “Why can’t the TNRD or some other entity take the recyclable materials and do something with them?” There are no easy solutions. While the TNRD could indeed pay a staff person to man the bin at the Arena, this of course would be an additional cost to the taxpayers of the TNRD (of which Chase is a member) and would this be the most effective way to spend funds? The South Thompson Eco-Depot is located in Pritchard, a 15 minute drive from Chase and that facility is run by people who will ensure recyclable materials are not contaminated. In addition, the Village of Chase continues to provide curbside pickup of recyclable materials for all households in Chase. As for the reliance on China, unfortunately at this point in time there are very few countries in the world who can handle the volume of recyclable materials generated by the world’s nations. And it is costly and complex to build and operate a facility that manufactures products out of recyclable materials. What type of materials can be manufactured solely from recyclable materials? Is there a market for those products? Would such a facility be financially viable? While we all want to do the right thing by the environment, and while we want to continue thinking that the cardboard, paper, plastic and cans that we purchase, use, clean out and place in our recycling bins will be taken away and ‘put
to good use’, they need to go somewhere and be turned into useful products that people will pay money for. Perhaps it is time to do some soul searching and get back to basics. Recycling is super convenient, but it encourages the production of packaging that it is harder and harder to find a market for. Maybe as consumers, we need to start reducing our waste, we need to demand less packaging of the companies that produce the products we purchase, and we have to start reusing wherever possible. Reduce, reuse, THEN recycle.

THE HAPPY CAMPER:
Food Truck to stop in Chase this weekend
One of the most exciting new food trucks on the Kamloops culinary scene will be in Chase this Saturday for the 3rd Annual Shuswap Experience Trade Show. Yaniv Halevi and Patricia Stimpson started the The Happy Camper last year and have become known for their delicious fusion of international flavours. Together, Halevi and Stimpson have travelled the world and their menu is inspired by Indian and Middle E a ste r n cuisine, bringing together some of their favourite flavours from across the globe. The pair ended up in this area after interning at Golden Ears Farm in Chase in 2016 and settling in the Pritchard area until a recent move to Kamloops. They felt there was a lack of savory food options at the Kamloops Farmers Market and decided to get creative. Their food is all homemade or locally sourced. They cater to gluten-free diets and have options for vegans, while also

hoping to provide a reasonably priced togo option that is considered an alternative to fast food. They serve dosa wraps filled with goodness and other unique items. “That’s what we want to offer because we are what we eat and, when you eat something good, it makes you feel better,” Stimpson said. They also serve delicious dairy free creamsicles made from coconut cream in flavours such as chocolate mint and chai. “We are quite excited to be going out to Chase this weekend for this event. It’s our first time food trucking out there and we are looking forward to it!” said Stimpson. The Happy Camper will be on site at the Art Holding Memorial Arena from 10 am - 3 pm.

Successful Event for Rotary
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Mayor and Council / and Editor, Recent decisions by TNRD have ENRAGED me so, I find that I must blow off some steam or die. I have been recycling for many years, including back when it was done in extremely low tech, separated bins and bags. (That continues to be by far the best way, in my opinion - don’t fix what isn’t broken!) Since then, we have been compelled to buy ever increasingly expensive specialized heavy equipment to handle our waste, while less and less recyclable items are being allowed into recycle bins and now I hear that, despite the hours I spend scrubbing my many dog food cans in expensive, metered hot water, my recycle items may be going into the landfill! I find this hugely unacceptable. I am astounded to hear that our recycle items are determined by China. In a World where Greenhouse Gases are an issue, why are we not recycling here and how do we know what happens to this stuff when it leaves? I also see that our Village
The Chase Rotary Club held their 14th Annual Service Auction event on April 21st. The group had many community sponsors and received approximately $6000 in donation. Around 100 people attended and the Rotary Club raised about $10,000 throughout the evening. “This event is one of our big fund raisers for the year and will go towards a community project,” said Rotary Club President Terri Mindel. The theme was Canada and many dressed in red and white, or as their favorite Canadian.
Please note: Opinions expressed in Letters do not reflect the views of the Sunflower, it’s advertisers or anybody except the letter writer themselves. wishes to hire someone to spot check our Recycle Bin contents, looking for corn kernels and actual garbage in with recycle and that TNRD has the right to SUE our Village over contents. Hmmm... It seems to me that at least some of this thinking is extremely wrong headed. TNRD should be handling more recyclables, not less and finding ways to separate items efficiently seems the obvious way to go. So, hire a person to oversee our recycling station, don’t get rid of it. (I don’t even want to think what “spot checking” individual Recycle Bins would look like?! Waving feet, up in the air, comes to mind.) Educate Citizens on the etiquette of recycling and its’ importance and advise TNRD that as good Citizens, it is our responsibility to find ways to handle all recycleables - including foam trays and egg cartons, preferably in our own Province. Respectfully Submitted, Ms. Joey Nash

Chase Museum Feature: BAMBI! by Dick Hermann
In 1940, when I was 13 years old, our family was living at the old Wayside Mine, about three miles downstream from the little town of Gold Bridge, in the Bridge River Valley. The Wayside Mine had been shut down, and my Dad was acting as caretaker of the mine buildings and equipment that was still on the site. One spring day, on his way home from the nearby town of Minto, Dad found a couple of new-born fawns whose mother had just been killed. There was a male and a female fawn, and they would not have survived if left on their own with no mother, so Dad brought them home to see if we could bring them through their crisis. They moved right into our house at Wayside, just like it was their natural home. It was really interesting to watch them settle in. We bottle-fed them to make up for the mother’s milk that they had missed. They showed no fear of us and, after they had been fed, lay down wherever they found it comfortable. After a while my Dad went to bed, and we soon found the male fawn up on the bed behind him, sleeping peacefully. It was also interesting to watch our dog that first night that Dad brought the fawns home. Fawns are said to have no scent when they are very young, and that was exactly the way that our dog behaved. He was afraid of the two young fawns, cowered behind the sofa when they were in the room, and ran whenever they came close to him. I guess for a dog to see something that has no scent is much like it would be for the rest of us to see a ghost. After the deer had been around for a few days, the dog accepted them, and they became good friends. We bottle-fed them, and did everything else we could to help, but the female only survived for a few days. The male spent the year with us until the following spring when the herd came back from wherever they went for the winter, and then he went off with the herd. We named him Bambi, because that movie was new and very popular at that time.

1. My brother Jock, giving Bambi his bottle,
Bambi’s neck. We put that on him during hunting season, hoping that it would save him from getting shot by a hunter. He was not afraid of the hunters in the bush and would approach them looking for some kind of a handout—a piece of a sandwich, a cigarette, or an apple. Several hunters, mostly friends of ours in the area, came to us to tell us that they had enjoyed giving the deer a sandwich more than they would have enjoyed shooting him.
sitting on the old stump in front of our house. Note the double-bitted axe in close proximity. That was standard equipment around the house in those days—no
one ever got cut by that axe. 2. Our dog Dopey (named for the dwarf in the movie Snow White that was also popular at the time) and Bambi down on the river flats below our house. The pile of rubble in the background is the old Wayside Mine dump. The dog and the deer became good friends, and often played with each other. The dog would chase the deer for a time, and then they would switch around and the deer would chase the dog. When the deer was young they slept together in an old doghouse, out behind our house.
3. Our
friend Charlie Clark getting his picture taken with Bambi, when the deer was still quite small--still had his spots. Notice how the fawn’s legs are stiffened, pushing away from Charlie, and how his ears are pointed straight out, indicating some nervousness. Both the fawns always resisted being restrained in any way.
4. Dad, myself, and my brother Jock, with
Bambi and Dopey at our house at Wayside, in the fall of 1940. Note the ribbon around

5. My mother giving Bambi something to
eat. I remember one time that he came into the kitchen just as we were finishing our lunch and Dad put on the floor for him what was left of a bowl of coleslaw, which for us was chopped cabbage in vinegar. We were a little surprised when Bambi drank the vinegar and left the cabbage behind.
6. Myself, giving Bambi something to eat. Note the dog standing between my legs waiting for his turn to get something. The deer used to come to me and nudge me, and poke me with his foot, because he had learned that when he did so I would respond by picking some of the ticks off him. There were often lots of ticks, and Bambi would stand perfectly still, for as long as I would continue removing the ticks.

New Telephone Scam by Stefan Schielke, inTechrity
Telephone and browser popup scams telling us that we have something wrong with our computers have become commonplace. However, the technique behind this newest one blew me away! A client of mine (let’s call her Sally) informed me that she had received a call from a company claiming that they “owed her a refund due to their company closing”. Seeing this as a possible scam, I asked to speak to them so I could assist her. I was put on the phone with “Frank Stevenson” from “Wizard Tech S olut ions” based in Colorado. Frank informed me that, due to their company going out of business, Sally was to receive a refund for her computer support subscription (which she had never purchased). Frank also informed me that they were only offering the refund to the company’s most important clients. Frank just needed Sally to confirm her credit card details so that he could process the refund. I asked Frank questions about the company. What services did they previously offer? Why are they closing? If they are closing, why are they offering refunds to some clients and not others? What department did he work in? Where in Colorado are they based? During the conversation I pulled up any information I could find about Wizard Tech Solutions of Boulder Colorado (which
amounted to zero). Frank said that laws that regulate how a company can do business and, because of these laws, they are required to provide the refund for the subscription. He also said that only some clients were to receive the refund because they were very busy and so unable to refund everyone before their doors closed. Upon further questioning about the “laws” he referred to, Frank informed me that the regulations are created by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) which holds every business accountable. Frank did not like when I informed him that the BBB does not create business laws. After further conversation with Frank, I politely told him that Sally would not be providing her credit card info, wished him well with his new job search, told him he was a scammer, and hung up the phone. The bottom line is that scammers are getting more creative with their methods to get your money. Your safest path is to be vigilant. Do not let anyone you do not know onto your computer or provide them with your credit card information. If you have any questions, contact us on Facebook or Twitter, by email or phone.

Page 13 • May 4th, 2018 • Chase Sunflower Obituary Lily Dubitz Aulin April 12, 1930 – April 22, 2018
Lily Dubitz Aulin was born at home in Shalka, Alberta, and was the beloved “Easter Lily” to her parents and nine siblings. Life on the farm was challenging, but Lily loved berry and mushroom picking, family gatherings and picnics on the lake. She especially loved school and excelled through grade 10, after which she moved on to secretarial college in Edmonton. She got a job with Canada Packer’s as soon as she graduated. Lily played soft ball, bowled, skated and adored going to the movies. On a trip to Chase, BC, she met Johnny Aulin and, after two years of letter writing, married him in September 1951. John and Lily had the kind of marriage that most can only wish for, built on pure love, mutual respect and compassion. Lily wanted a huge family and delighted in her six children, eight grandchildren and six great grandkids. She always attended sporting events, school award days and graduations and was proud of her family. Part of her heart always remained on the Prairies and she often visited family there. Lily was an integral part of the community, devoting countless volunteer hours to the local schools, the Chase Museum, Kamloops Home Support, Chase and District Health Society and the United Church, to name only a few. She worked as a writer for the Chase paper and as an assistant at the Chase Village Office. She also ran for and was elected to the Kamloops School District as a Trustee. She bowled and curled and was very lucky at Bingo and the casino. Lily travelled the world: from Alaska to the Hawaiian Islands, from Las Vegas to Ontario and the Maritimes; through a dozen countries in Europe; across Romania and into the Ukraine to visit the birth places of her parents; and to Tokyo and Taipei. Lily was whip smart and witty – she loved to play April Fool’s jokes; she was generous and tender hearted, thoughtful and loyal. Most of all she was strong, and her spirit will always shine. Lily will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by children Marlene (Jim), Gail (Steve), Holly (Jim), Greg, Virginia (Karoly) and Melanie; grandchildren Kristine, Jason, Darin, Geoffrey, Shawn (Helen), Catherine, David (Hayley) and Michelle (Brooks) and great grandchildren Kasey, Gwen, Maya, William, Chloe and Ethan. We will celebrate her life on May 5, 2018, at 1 p.m. the Chase Village Hall. Online condolences may be sent to the family through Lily’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.
