SEEING THE VIEW

The Chase & District Chamber of Commerce presents 2ND ANNUAL CHRISTMAS GALA & BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS date: DECEMBER 9 cocktails: 6 o'clock dinner: 7 o'clock awards: 8 o'clock dance: 9 o'clock dress: semi-formal venue: community hall

Most people, including me, do not see what they are looking at most of the time.

As an example, look at the attached photo, taken on October 27, 2017 from the west side of the river, just a few miles downstream from the Sexqeltqin Bridge at the foot of Pine Street.

What do you see?

M o s t people will be pleased by the general scene and the fall colours, and rightly so, for it is important that we always recognize and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. But there are other things in the picture that help us realize its true significance.

First of all, there is the South Thompson River itself, near the lowest level it has been at, on this date, for more than 20 years. Then there is the large exposed sandbar on the far side of the river, great for fishing from, or sunning on. There are two levels of trees on the far side of the river, one rooted at the high water mark of the river, and then a second one rooted on the top of the bank along the east side of the river.

Then there are the buildings on the far shore, some of which are remnants of the town of Shuswap. And there is a group of piles in the river that have been cut off close to ground level to minimize the danger of conflict with boaters. And for those with very sharp eyes there is a bald eagle sitting on a log in the river near the far end of the left hand row of piles.

But did you know that those old piles are all that remains of the bridge that was built across the river at Shuswap in 1912,

twenty-eight years after completion of the CPR railroad through this area in 1884. The bridge gave those on the west side of the river direct access to the railroad (rather than having to go to Kamloops, which was not as easy then as it is now) for sale and shipping of their produce, and also provided them with access to services that the railroad brought to the area, such as passenger service both east and west from Shuswap, mail delivery, and products that the railroad brought to the area to meet local demand. Construction of the bridge stimulated the growth of the town of Shuswap, and resulted in the more or less immediate construction of the railway station, two hotels, and a general store which included a post office.

So the bridge at Shuswap was significant to the development of the area, even though all that is left of it are the cut-off piles in the middle of the river, which would not even be visible at times of higher water level.

The bridge continued to be in use until it was declared to be unsafe in 1938, and was replaced that year by the first bridge at Chase. The choice of Chase as the location for the new bridge was at least partly the result of the fact that the Adams River Lumber Company commenced operations in Chase in 1909, which shifted the centre of activity from Shuswap to Chase. Just as a matter of interest, the bridge that was built in 1938 lasted until 1990 when it was replaced by the Sexqeltqin Bridge that is currently in use. Cont’d on next page...

Seeing the View So what is the moral of the story?

Many things that we look at have a background and history that would add to our understanding and appreciation of what we see. It would increase our enjoyment of the view if we were to dig a little deeper into the background.

I have used Joyce Dunn’s book titled “A Town Called Chase” and Jim Cooperman’s “Everything Shuswap” as sources of information for this writeup. Both of those individuals have done extensive, long term research on the development in this area. I have also used information from the archives of the Chase Museum, which contain many pictures and extensive written records of

the development in the area.

If you have an interest in learning more about this subject, or any other part of the history of this area, please feel free to visit the Chase Museum at your convenience. The Museum is an important part of Chase, and if you would like to support us in our commitment to be the guardian of the History of the Shuswap, please consider becoming a member. Your membership demonstrates the support of the community, which is essential for our Grant applications, the success of which is essential for funding for our continuing operation and service to the community.

The following matters were discussed: • The Quarterly Financial report to September 30, 2017 was presented to Council – it was noted by the Director of Financial Services that spending is down in 2017, and there could be a small budget surplus at the end of the 2017 fiscal year • A development variance permit for 775 Cedar Avenue to reduce the front yard setback in relation to the construction of a carport addition was introduced to Council and they allowed the application to proceed to provide notification to neighbouring property owners • The Youth Action Committee Strategy Plan report which was commissioned by the Youth Action Committee earlier in 2017 and paid for by a grant from BC Healthy Communities was adopted by Council – the Youth Action Committee will now work towards implementing the various objectives set out in the plan – the plan can be viewed on the Village`s website – it was stressed in the plan that youth engagement will be best generated

Hey Everyone! We had a wonderful week as per usual here at Village Lanes!

This past Sunday a group of our Youth Bowlers travelled to Falcon Lanes in Kamloops for the first Travel Tournament of the year! Although our young bowlers didn’t medal at this event, they had a lot of fun! It was Danica Morley and Logan Natrall’s first ever tournament, and they did an amazing job! I want to take the time to thank these kids for being on their best behaviour (especially when I’m not there to harp on them!) their coach had nothing but great things to say about them! So, thanks guys!

Some local bowling news from this past week! Ali Maki threw a monster 325 single on Monday night – showing us gals, AND guys how it’s really done! Violet Nancekivell had another amazing game on Wednesday afternoon. After bowling a 300 last week, she followed it up with a 298 this week! Well done Vi!

Beryl Murrell also bowled a 247 on Wednesday!

On our Thursday Club 55 league, Helen Beauchamp bowled a 253 game, while Rod Wolney had a 264! Great bowling this week everybody!

Obituary William “Bill” Frank Berry November 19, 1946 - November 9, 2017 Bill passed away peacefully with family by his side after fighting a strong and courageous battle with cancer. He is predeceased by; his dad Frank, mom Margaret (Eric, Mike) and sister Val (survived by Roger). He is survived by his loving wife Glenna, daughters Shelley, Kari, and son Mitch (Terra), Brothers Fred (Beth), George (Deanna) and numerous nieces and nephews who will all lovingly cherish his memory.

Bill and Glenna met through a radio station dating line and made an instant connection.

They shared a life together for 19 years and enjoyed many special moments and making memories. They loved road trips together, often holding hands along the drive and enjoying the beauty of BC. Bill and Glenna retired to Chase in 2013 where their adventures continued. Bill and his sidekick Jody (dog) and close friend Paul would often travel the back roads. Loved ones were important to Bill and he was happy to host Barbeques for them, he was known for his oversized “Bill sized” portions of dessert.

Bill was a hardworking, humble man, who was always on the go and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. He would often joke with others who were left scratching their heads as to whether or not he was serious, though showing his dimple was a sure sign he was teasing. Bill was a caring and devoted husband to Glenna, a loving dad, brother and friend. We are all blessed to have known him and will always hold him in our hearts. Though we will miss him dearly we take comfort in knowing he is on a new adventure “always waiting to see what’s around the next bend”.

Village of Chase Correction

In an advertisement in the Sunflower last week regarding Trans Canada Highways Upgrades, it stated, “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.”

We would like to correct that last sentence by saying that, “the Village of Chase did not mean in our last article that the speed limit of the four lanes proposed along the Chase West to Jade Mountain corridor will be more than 100 km/hour...while the speed limit will be 100 km/hr it is likely that vehicles may travel above that speed limit, thereby reducing the opportunities for motorists to consider exiting into Chase with only one access point provided along that corridor.”

A TALE OF TWO SHUSWAP TOWN submitted by Scott Koch, Chase Heat

A blast of HEAT passed through the Thompson-Shuswap during the cold snap from Tuesday the 7th to Saturday the 11th. The kids from the local Junior shinny squad created the unique weather phenomena.

The rough and tumble lads of the Kamloops STORM came to the Art Holding Memorial Arena mid -week and attempted to disrupt the HEAT front. The Chase side popped in a pair, the first from Kolten Moore assisted

by Josh Bourne and Jayce Schweizer.

Moore was money in the bank from there on in for the three games in the hot streak. The big fellow Zachary Fournier got the second counter from Gavin Mattey and Schweizer. The Loops lads got a pair back from the infamous Curtis Magas to tie up the match. Magas would end his game early getting three goals and a 9 game suspension for his extracurricular activities. Moore from Kaden Black and Cory Loring ensured the 1st ended 3-2 for Chase. In the 2nd Kamloops notched it at 3-3. In the 3rd rookie Gavin Mattey from Fournier and Evan Hughes, followed by Pat Brady with an empty net tally from Grady Musgrave and Fournier put a bow on a 5-3 win.

Dependable and consistent rear guard Cam Watson has been lost to the team for 10 weeks, due to a broken leg and ligament damage received in a fracas with the goaltender running Magas. Mathew Ens in goal played with maturity and resolve in fending off the invaders.

Game 2 saw the HEAT in Sicamous on Friday the 10th versus the EAGLES. Chase scored 3 in the first, 4 in the second and 4 in the 3rd to earn a lopsided 11-2 road win. In the 1st Fournier from Brady and Hughes, followed by Colten Nikiforuk from Black and Fournier. The 3rd goal came from Moore assisted by Bourne. In the 2nd it was Moore again from Brady and Ryan Okino, Bourne

from Loring and Moore, Brady on the man advantage from Bourne and Loring, and then Bourne from Moore and Loring.

In the 3rd period Loring from Grady Musgrave and Moore, Bourne again from Jackson Marshall and Brayden Haskell,

3rd goal of the final stanza came off the twisted twig of Bourne into an empty net helped by Loring and Schweizer. Billy Cawthorn earned a shutout in a 4-0 win, stopping 21 EAGLE attempts.

ICE CHIPS: Remembrance Day was recognized with the team participating in the parade and service, followed by an opening game ceremony including a Legion piper and Colour Party. The HEAT presented the Legion Branch 107 with a camouflage jersey with the number 107 on the back in an emotional moment.

Seven HEAT players are in the top 50 in the KIJHL, lead by Josh Bourne who is tops in the entire League. The seven include Bourne (1), Moore (14), Fournier (15), Black (22), Brady (29), Loring (30) and Okino (47). Next up on Friday the 17th are the Summerland Steam who lead the Okanagan Division. This game will have a playoff feel to it as Chase is tops in the Doug Birks Division.

and Okino from Nikiforuk and Musgrave.

The EAGLES then popped a pair to stymie a shutout. Ens defended his end of the business stopping 34 of 36 in goal for the win. The line of Moore (2 goals, 4 assists, 6 points), Bourne (3-3-6) and Loring (1-34) combined for 16 points.

Game 3 was back in Chase against the EAGLES on Saturday the 11th, Remembrance Day. Bourne from Brady in the 1st was the only scoring until midway through the 3rd period.

Moore got the next one Wednesday, December 20th from Brady and Loring, then Loring lasered a goal from Moore and Okino. The
