SHOO the FLU

You Are Invited To

Submitted by Donna Dube - Chase Public Health Nurse (Interior Health Authority)

“

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way” (John C. Maxwell).

Chase Mayor Rick Berrigan, Village council members and staff willingly demonstrated their leadership abilities by rolling up their sleeves to launch the 2017/2018 Chase & District Public Health flu immunization campaign.

The influenza (commonly referred to as the “flu”) is one of those silent and contagious respiratory diseases that hits Canadians every year between late fall and early spring. Influenza spreads easily from person to person through coughing, sneezing, or face-to-face contact. The virus also spreads indirectly when someone touches invisible virusladen droplets from an infected person’s cough or a sneeze and then touches their

own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands. The influenza virus can live for 24 hours on hard surfaces and 15 minutes on soft surfaces (such as tissues).

Researchers have said that we touch our faces an average of 2000-3000 times a day! The final component of influenza’s ‘perfect storm’ is the fact that an infected person can spread the virus before they even feel sick. Adults can spread the virus from about one day before to five days after symptoms start. Young children may be able to spread the virus for a longer period of time.

The symptoms of influenza can include: fever, headache, muscle pain, runny nose, sore throat, cough, and extreme tiredness.

Children may also experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Cont’d on page 3

Protect Yourself from the Flu Although other viral infections can present with similar symptoms, those due to influenza virus tend to be worse, last longer, and lead to more serious complications.

What is commonly referred to as the ‘stomach flu’ (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) is not influenza, but usually a different viral illness that is common at this time of year. The common cold is another viral illness that seems to be common at this time of year. While some of the symptoms of the common cold and influenza 2 illnesses are the same, influenza the flu is characterized by sudden onset of fever, severe headache and muscle aches, and severe fatigue.

So, how can you protect yourself from the influenza virus? A lot of it is common sense: wash your hands often and thoroughly, don’t leave used tissues lying around, cough and sneeze into your shirt sleeve instead of your hands, try using alternative methods of greeting people instead of shaking hands (also known as ‘dap greetings’) and get a flu shot. Publicly funded (free) flu vaccine is provided to anyone who is at risk of serious illness from influenza (infants

six 6 months of age and older, young children, pregnant women (especially in their last trimester), the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.

Flu vaccine is available through Public Health, physicians, and pharmacists.

How can you protect others during influenza season? The first rule to live by is: if you have symptoms - you are not indispensable or invincible – you are contagious! Stay home and get better! If you have to go out, wash your hands frequently and thoroughly and cover your coughs and sneezes.

If you have regular, close contact with anyone who is at risk of the complications of influenza the flu, you ALSO qualify for FREE flu vaccine. You want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem and get your flu shot.

Lions Club Ships Off Glasses In 1925, Helen Keller attended the Lions Clubs International Convention and challenged Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.”

The Lions accepted her challenge and our work ever since has included sight programs aimed at preventable blindness.

In 1971, the Board of Directors of Lions Clubs International declared that June 1 would be remembered as Helen Keller Day. Lions around the world implement

sight-related service projects on Helen Keller Day. The Chase Lions each year take up the challenge and through collection boxes in Chase shipped 433 lenses and glasses to help sight programs. Chase Lions Member Patsy McKinnon collects glasses and sends them off to a distribution centre in Calgary.

Thank you Chase for your continued support, the gift of eyesight!

It was early summer in 1982 and the Canadian economy was in the tank with home mortgage rates in the high teens. I had been laid off from a senior management position with a construction company that had seen business drop by over 60% and left with one final pay cheque, little savings and a family to care for. It was going to be a long summer.

As luck would have it an old friend had recently purchased a 43 ft yacht and his business was also feeling the effects of a slow and struggling e c o n o my.

After a few beer one day he suggested I take his boat to Tofino and see if we could drum up some business running daily cruises to Hot Springs Cove.

It was there I first met a local man named Warren Bernard, or Whitey as he liked to be called. Whitey owned the local marine fuel dock and chandlery and we soon became well acquainted as my friends boat was a fuel hog and Whitey’s had become a daily port of call.

It was maybe a year later that I was in the Tofino Legion enjoying a cold one with Whitey and I was admiring a famous photo hanging on the wall. It was a picture I had seen many times before with no understanding of its origin and no idea whom the people were in the picture. It was then he told me the photo was taken by a Province Newspaper photographer named Claude Dettloff on October 1st, 1940 along 8th street in New Westminster… “ and that he was the little white haired 5 year old boy in the picture “… along with his Mom and Dad and a thousand soldiers who were heading off to war.

Dorothy and I lived the next 10 years in Tofino and we became good friends with Whitey and his wife Ruby. We eventually purchased my friends 43 ft. boat in 83 and another 52 ft. boat in the spring of 85 and so continued to make many stops at Whitey’s Chevron fuel dock as you can imagine. Whitey went on to become Mayor of Tofino from 1984 to 1988 and I served with him at that time as a Tofino V i l l a g e Councilor for three of those years.

J a c k , W h i t e y ’s f a t h e r , landed in Normandy July 2nd, 1944 and W h i t e y was able to retrace many of his father’s footsteps when he went on a Legion organized pilgrimage in July 2017 visiting many famous sites where Canadians had fought and died, including Juno Beach and Vimy Ridge.

I phoned him a few days back to make sure it was OK if I wrote this short article about him and he gave me his blessing.

It had been 10 years since I last saw him and so we chatted and caught up a little.

He told me he is now 82 and that two of his three children still live in Tofino.

All are doing very well with each having a child of their own. Whitey’s Dad Jack, the soldier in the picture reaching back to his son’s hand, passed in 1974 and his mother Bernice, who is seen chasing after him, passed in 1995. The city of New Westminster unveiled a life size bronze sculpture about three years ago commemorating the famous photograph.

Aside from the Canada Post Stamp that came out last year with a reproduction of the picture Whitey told me there is a Toonie now being produced honouring the famous war picture. Cont’d on next pg

Page 5 • November 3rd, 2017 • Chase Sunflower Chase North Shuswap

Whitey then reminded me of a summer day back in 1986 when he and I, his wife Ruby and my wife Dorothy headed out for a day of cruising and fishing aboard our boat and that we ended up at the top end of Meares Island fishing close to the smaller Marthy Island where Whitey had placed his father’s ashes many years ago. You can see the trees on that island in the background on the right side of the picture of Whitey and me enjoying a laugh as we admired

one of our smaller catches of the day.

Every time we caught a fish we toasted his Dad and I remember... we may have caught a few too many.

Team Spirit Abounds!

Team Chase would like to send out a big Thank You to the Chase Heat Hockey Team and their coach Brad Fox. Their volunteered time, on Sunday September 24th for our Fall Tea and Fashion Show, in setting up the tables and chairs bright and early

on Sunday morning and coming again at the end of the day to take them down and put them away, is greatly appreciated.

Their youthful strength and enthusiasm is very welcomed and needed, those tables are heavy!

Janice Winfield, Team Chase

Public Letter regarding Mascon Over the past several weeks the Chase Heat Hockey Organization struggled with a situation that disabled our ability to webcast our home games.

Mascon is our internet provider and the problem was we didn’t seem to have enough “gas” or output to get the game streamed to the many hockey loving viewers.

So after a flurry of calls to polite, courteous and efficient staff we couldn’t remedy the situation. Then came several visits from Technicians who replaced equipment, adjusted settings, all the while continuing to be pleasant, efficient skilled and patient.

The “crisis” at our end continued intermittently and so a few more calls were made between the parties.

So on October 26th, Brody the Technician and eventually Ian the Lineman with patience and a huge want to fix the situation arrived, and after many hours

Chase Proud to be part of your community!

NOW IN!

reached the “aha” moment. The problem in the end had nothing to do with the internet, but the duo took on the personal challenge to fix the situation.

They climbed, they hovered, they adjusted, they removed and replaced.

In the end, their service above and beyond ruled the day!

In closing, we thank all the great employees we were in contact with, they were courteous, skilled, patient, friendly, and are clearly excellent assets for Mascon.

Too often we don’t take the time to thank, appreciate and recognize wonderful, diligent service. Not this time…thank you Mascon and the great employees that make the company so successful in our eyes!

Sincerely; Scott Koch President and Webcaster, Chase HEAT

More Halloween Happenings The Chase Secondary School’s Leadership Class had a great time putting on their haunted house this Halloween.

It was truly creepy in the old gun range located in the basement of the school by the time the props were set p, the actors were in place and the smoke machine was on. The spooky scene was open to

the public for two evenings and was well attended. The students raised funds for future events and projects.

The hard work and creativity that went into the haunted house was evident, with the well thought out back story and detailed set-up.

ATTENTION EVERYONE IN CHASE AND SURROUNDING AREAS! Trans Canada Highways Upgrades will affect YOU! The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is hosting an Open House on Wednesday, November 22, 2017 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Village’s community hall to show the most recent designs for the Trans-Canada Highway upgrades along the corridor from the Chase-Falkland Road intersection at TCH to Jade Mountain at Mattey’s property.

How will this affect YOU? Your BUSINESS? We need to hear from everyone who will be affected by the upgrades to the Trans Canada Highway along the Chase/Falkland Road – Mattey Hill corridor.

At present we have three full access and egress points between PetroCanada and Mattey’s Hill. The proposals from the Ministry of Highways will reduce our access points significantly! This has serious impacts to our community!

We need your voice! How will changes affect YOU? Think about the following in preparation for the meeting: Accessing the Highway: 1. How do you access the Highway to travel towards Kamloops now? How might you access with the upgrades completed and the current access points removed?

2. How do you access the Highway to travel towards Salmon Arm now? What about access once the changes are done?

Accessing our Community: How do you get off the highway now to go home from Kamloops or Salmon Arm or Sorrento or Pritchard? How will you get off the highway to home once the changes are made?

Traffic impacts inside Chase - Congestion What about INSIDE Chase once changes have been made to the way we access the highway and access our community? Can you think of potential bottlenecks and congestion that might occur because of the proposed changes to how we access our community or travel to the highway?

Think about these issues for the immediate future, but also 20 years into the future when our population will be over 3000 – what will access and congestion look like then?

The highway upgrades will be in place for 100 years, so we need to look ahead for our community!

The opportunities for Chase as a tourism destination may become lessened if it is difficult for tourists to easily access our community – if there are less opportunities to come to Chase, we will lose tourism. The likelihood of highway travellers turning into Chase or even having time to CONSIDER visiting will be reduced if there are fewer access points and the motorists are travelling effectively 25 km/hour faster than they currently travel along the corridor.

Your input is very important for the future of Chase – proposals will be presented about what impacts the highway upgrades will have on access points into and out of Chase along the highway.

For more information, please contact the Village Office at 250-679-3238 and ask for Sean or Joni or contact Mayor Berrigan at 250-318-1318.

HIT AND MISS HOCKEY submitted by Scott Koch

Last weekend’s update starts with a home game at the Art Holding Memorial Arena, where the soaring EAGLES from Sicamous landed to face the HEAT on Friday the 27th.

For potentially the first time in Chase history the game could be described as “mellow”. In the 1st Chase popped a pair, the first from Kaden Black assisted

by Brett Alexander and Cory Loring, the second from Alexander helped along by Black and Grady Musgrave.

It was 7 minutes into the 2nd period before the first minor infraction was called, the HEAT received the only 3 minors in the period. On the second one Sicamous netted a powerplay goal to make the tame affair interesting. In the 3rd, Sicamous received the only 3 minors, and Chase pocketed another duo of goals. Josh Bourne on the man advantage from Ryan Okino and Kolten Moore, and then to seal the

deal Evan Hughes from Bourne and Dune Wald. A 4-1 win, backstopped

by Mathew Ens who repelled 29 0f 30 he faced.

Saturday night the 28th in 100 Mile House was a different kettle of fish.

Lots of hits and many more missed opportunities eventually cost the HEAT an important two points in the standings. Chase got the only counter in the 1st from Cam Watson, aided and abetted by Moore and Bourne. In the 2nd Zachary Fournier score with the extra man, assisted by Watson and Musgrave. Then the WRANGLERS struck goal in the Cariboo, before Colton Nikiforuk on the powerplay from Black and Fournier made it a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes. Apparently happy with the production to this point the HEAT idled away a good bit of the next 20 minutes as the WRANGLERS popped in 4 unanswered goals to take

a 5-3 victory in front of their pleased fans. New goalie, Billy Cawthorn stopped 39 of 44 in an effort to give his teammates a chance at claiming the valuable two points.

The HEAT remain in 3rd place in the Division, 2 points back of the WRANGLERS. Next up the Division leading Revelstoke GRIZZLIES journey west for a Friday Night the 3rd encounter, another important midseason matchup that the locals can’t afford to squander.
