Picking up where we left off with 10 questions, we are talking to another member of the Chase Volunteer Fire Department, Bill Currie.

Q • How long have you lived in Chase? A • I have been in Chase for about 4 years now.

Lyle’s Concrete .

Q • What’s your day job?

A • Currently I work for

Q • How’d you get involved with the fire dept? A • Friends of mine were on the fire department and thought it be a great place to meet new people while working with the community.

Q • Whats your favorite thing about being on the fire department? What are some challenges? A • My favourite part are the people I volunteer with and working with the community as well as driving the big trucks around and using the equipment. Some of the challenges are things like getting mutual aid in place with neighbouring fire departments Q • Can you share some memorable experiences from your time with the department? A • In 2012 three members went to Prince George for the firefighter’s games. There were firefighter’s from all around BC there. What I remember most is later in the day there was a woman doing the obstacle course and she had been struggling from the start. It took her about 12 minutes (average was about 5 minutes) to get to the last obstacle. When she was about to throw in the towel, she fell

dragging Rescue Randy, a life size dummy.

A few firefighters helped her up and then every firefighter there encouraged and chanted her on to finish the course. That was over 250 volunteer firefighters standing together not leaving anyone behind. It’s hard not to feel proud of what you do when your surrounded by people like that Q • What do you like about Chase? A • The community spirit and the people that go out of their way to help others. And this has got to be one of the best groomed and cleanest villages in BC. All the flower beds and parks makes a person proud to call Chase home.

Q • What do you do for fun? A • I enjoy fishing and Kayaking.

Q • What’s the best thing you’ve done this summer? A • Best thing this summer was vacationing with my girlfriend and her daughter visiting family that were here from Ireland.

Q • Fill in the blanks: I want to say a special Hello to ______ because _________: A • I want to say a special Thank you to all the Volunteer firefighters helping out with all the forest fires.

Q • Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

A • I want to see at least one trip to Ireland and Scotland under my belt maybe have a cabin on the lake.

Q. Who should be next? A • Dan Stevens

Village of Chase, Council Briefs - Tuesday, August 11th, 2015

Fire Department: Requesting Approval to Purchase Items: Council approved additional spending for the Fire Department, who now have a high number of volunteer members; 22 compared to the 7 or so they began the year with. 4 additional pagers are required as well as some other small items. Council approved an additional $5000 be added to the Fire Department’s Supplies budget.

Proposed Water Restriction Levels Village of Chase Administration will work on changes to its Water Regulations Bylaw to include additional levels of water restrictions. In the meantime, The Village urges residents voluntarily follow the Level

2 restrictions immediately. See the Village of Chase insert page accompanying this issue for more information.

4 Way Stop at Coburn and Okanagan The agenda included several letters from citizens and a petition from residents at Old Orchard Park urging Council to reconsider the removal of the stop signs at this intersection.

Council voted to keep the 4 way stop and recommended that Citizens on Patrol do a traffic study and set up its Speed Watch there in the future.

It was noted that future highway expansion of the highway might affect Coburn Street in the future.

Fire Department: Critical Incident Stress Management Services The Fire Department requested more comprehensive coverage be available to the fire department volunteers in dealing with critical incident stress. Council approved coverage for all firefighters for CISM services including: 24/7 telephone counselling service, counsellors could come to Chase if needed, all counsellors have at least a masters degree, and no member would be declined counselling.

This coverage amounts to a total of $600 for an entire year for 22 members.

Churchill’s Corner

by Wally Churchill

The federal election & hoopla It is hard to be realistic about something that will affect us big time til the next time, when some of the same old stories are told by the same old puppets. I say puppets, because that is what they are. When a mining company can let millions and millions of gallons of harmful effluent pollute our fish and our drinking water, and not get shut down and/or fined for billions of dollars. They get a little slap on the wrist and then let them back to start all over again. Something is wrong with this picture. Give your head a shake. I won’t Harp on it....

Chase is like the tale of two cities People used to ask me if I was related to Winston Churchill. I would say he is my great uncle. I ran with it. My dad

was white and my mom was Indian.

She decided it would be better for us, at that time, to walk a white man’s path. Sadly, she was probably right.

Last weekend at Adam’s Lake there was a Shuswap Nation Unity Meeting. I was honored to be a part of the Celebration of the Salmon.

Two traditional canoes came in, kids jumped out of the canoes, it was like a scene from the past. It’s hard to explain the feeling; there was pride and hope for the Earth.

I hope to put on events where Indians and whites [I will get a little flak] can come together. I have to use my talents to bring people together.

Chabelos cares for kids

Submitted by: Sandy Sirianni Once again members of Chabelos RV Park in chase, came together to hold a fund raiser, to raise money and collect gifts for the Chase Hamper Society. A fun time was had by all, BBQ chicken, potluck, auction 50/50 draw and musical entertainment.

The event was well attended by over 115 people.

We would like to thank the members of Chase Hamper Society who donated the cake, and I’m sure Cecelia Callaghan was glad that she was there to win the 50/50 draw in the amount of $235.00 dollars. Special thanks to Constable Guillavme & Constable Gien for keeping the kids entertained.

Windows 10 is here

Submitted by Lakeside Technical Solutions I have been playing with the preview are gone so everything is right with the version of Windows 10 for several world again. If you found Windows 8/8.1 months as part of the Windows Insider difficult to navigate, you will definitely program and wrote a short piece on it welcome the change. back in January. At that time, I was very Aside from the Apps Store introduced impressed with it and I still am, even in Windows 8, there are some big new though at the time of this writing, I don’t features coming with Windows 10. have the final version either.

One of the biggest is their new Internet As soon as Windows 10 is available, I browser named Microsoft Edge. Edge is will be installing it because I have a spare a modern browser and replaces Internet computer to run it on. I don’t recommend Explorer which was starting to feel its the average user upgrade their main age. Edge will be the default browser computer right away. Call me paranoid for Windows 10 and I find it to be but there is always a chance there will extremely fast. It also provides the ability be problems with a big upgrade like this to create personalized reading lists and one so to me it just make sense to err on to even mark up web pages with a pen the side of caution. Remember that you or highlighter and save them for future have a full year to upgrade for free so reference. Very cool! there really is no reason to rush into it. In Another big addition in Windows 10 is fact, it’s not mandatory to upgrade at all. Cortana. Cortana is a personal assistant Windows 7 will continue to be supported built in to Windows 10 that will help you until at least 2020 and Windows 8.1 to find what you are looking for. Similar to Siri 2023. My suspicion is that Microsoft will from Apple, Cortana can also recognize nag you until you do but if you’re running voice commands and supposedly will Windows 7 you may not want to switch get to know you personally as time goes at all. On the other hand, Windows 8 and on. Pretty futuristic stuff!

8.1 users will definitely want to upgrade There is a lot more to know about sooner rather than later.

Windows 10 but not the room in this Windows 10 is a much more natural article. www.techradar.com has done a evolution of the traditional Windows really good job of reviewing the product operating system that we are accustomed so I would recommend checking them to. Everything looks different and fresh out to get the full story. but is still more or less in the same place Overall, Windows 10 looks to be a it has always been. No more hunting home run for Microsoft and everything a around to find your programs and files. modern operating system should be. So The Start button is back and the Charms far I like it and I think you will too.

Even though there was a bit of rain and some strong winds during the evening, it did not stop the fun from continuing. In fact, most CornStockers appreciated the overcast as it kept the temperature on the cooler side, making it more enjoyable for families to be out having fun and more bearable for four different acts on the CornStock Stage. Prior to the headline act, the first CornStar Challenge took place with six teams vying for the chance to win money for their favourite non-profit.

Teams of three had to eat a cob of corn, shuck a cob, then throw a corn stalk javelin, and the Chase Skate Park Committee was the lucky recipient of the $150 donated by the winning team. The annual festival concluded with a high energy performance

On Sunday, August 16th there will be another skate park fundraiser event at Memorial Park with great music.

“We had such a great turnout, great music from all the Djs, awesome support from the village and raised close to $1,500 to boot!” said Tyler LaCroix, a musicloving member of the skateboard park committee who spearheaded the event.

LaCroix was ecstatic to have Hertz Donut, a duo from Victoria consisting of Mitch “Apache Sound” and Tim “CrashCourse” Lange on the bill this time. Hertz Donut are swinging by Chase on their way back from Shambhala, a huge electronic music festival in the Kootenays.

Tim Lange actually grew up in Chase and was one of the first people to get the skate park fundraising off the ground years back!

There is a full roster of Djs performing, but fewer then the last fundraiser, so there will more music to enjoy with less breaks.

The music will continue until 10 pm, and there will be a food concession, draws, and prizes. Admission is by donation.

So bring your skateboards, your swim suits, your friends and if you can swing it.. some money to donate! Let’s make this skatepark happen!
