News from the Bowling Alley submitted by Calyn Buresh, Village Lanes

Hello again everyone! It’s getting so cold outside, we hope you are all keeping warm! And if not, it’s warm at the bowling centre if you want to stop in for a coffee!

It was a weekend that was centered all around our Youth Bowlers as they competed in the YBC Singles Zone Finals here at Village Lanes as well at Bowlertime Sports in Kamloops.

Our senior bowlers got the homelane advantage this weekend, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. There was some fantastic bowling in both the boys and girls division! Congratulations to Matthew Greer and Kayli BreitKreutz from Lincoln Lanes in Vernon, who will be advancing on to the Provincial Finals in Surrey and Langley on March 4th!

Local competitors Alex Greenaway and Mikea Boadway both placed 7th in their divisions.

It was a tough day in Kamloops for Brook Mindel, and Jordan Fletcher, but despite having to bowl with very noticeable

lane conditions, the pair did quite well!

Jordan placed 5th in the Junior boys division, while Brook ended up placing 3rd and earned herself a bronze medal!

Congratulations to all competitors from the weekend!

We are in major staff party mode right now as we get closer and closer to Christmas, and at this time we would like to thank our friends from Blind Bay Village Grocer for hanging out with us this past Sunday! You are a great group to host, and we look forward to it each season!

Upcoming events include People’s Food and Drug staff party this Saturday night, and our 3rd Annual 10 Game Singles tournament taking place the following day.

We have some of the best bowlers in the Interior joining us on December 11th, so come on down and check out the competition!

Cheers to a great weekend!

Updates from the Village of Chase

Give her a gift she will love!!

by Joni Heinrich, CAO, Village of Chase

Village Council has been hard at work on your behalf, focusing on various services that benefit everyone in the community.

Wastewater Treatment – Slightly Boring yet VERY important!

A few months ago we shared information with the community about our sewer treatment facility. As most of you know, we have a lagoon system which is located on the Northwest side of the CP Rail line across Shuswap Avenue from the A&W, Team Equipment and Black Todd’s. That system has been in place since the mid-1980’s and has served us all well.

The Village staff is currently working with engineering consultants regarding a much needed upgrade to the facility.

In short, there is a need to ‘de-sludge’ one of the two lagoons (this is where the initial waste water material is deposited), to remove the old aeration equipment (that is the equipment that provides the air/oxygen to allow the good bacteria in the lagoons to ‘do their work’) and install new aeration equipment.

New equipment will provide more oxygen, helping the good bacteria to slowly consume our liquid waste (yes, we have to face reality that we DO indeed produce waste and we have to deal with it). And remember, please do not put inorganic material and items down the toilet! No rags, toys, kitty litter, “Wetones” wipes, Swiffer sweeper wipes, paper towels, diapers…. the better we treat our sewer system, the less it will cost us all in the long run!

The more crud we put into the system, the more maintenance we need to do on the facility which COSTS MONEY! Help us all save money by being careful what you throw into the toilet/sewer. It may be boring and “icky”, but a wellfunctioning sewer system is REALLY IMPORTANT for everyone!

Chase Country Christmas A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped plan, organize and implement the Chase Country Christmas events

– WOW! And thanks to everyone in the community that participated and enjoyed the wonderful community spirit that is Chase.

Chase Fire/Rescue You may have noticed that a wrecked vehicle was parked at the Fire Hall for a couple of weeks recently. That vehicle was utilized by the members for road rescue training – they were able to train on how to utilize the various tools to cut a vehicle apart in order to safely remove occupants – continuous training is very important, and allows our volunteers to attend vehicle crashes and provide a much needed service to those involved in such incidents.

Money/Taxes/Budget/Services The time is coming around again when Council will be reviewing the proposed 2017 budget for the Village. This is a perfect opportunity for members of the public to sit in on the proceedings and to provide input and ask questions of Council. Council’s first budget meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 16, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the Council Chamber at the Village Office, 826 Okanagan Avenue. We urge anyone and everyone who can attend to do so!

Have questions?

Comments?

Concerns? Kudos? Please call us at 250-679-3238 or send us an email to chase@chasebc.ca And please check the Village’s Facebook page for updates about Village related matters – village of chase - municipality

Gear Down the X-Mas Engine & Enjoy the Season

by Carolyn Parks-Mintz, Author & Freelance Writer

Part 2 of a three part series about enjoying Christmas rather than just surviving it.

While the holiday season promises much fun and excitement, it also often brings with it anxiety and extra work—not entirely the experience we’d anticipated.

And for some, there is the angst of someone missing, something very sad that arrives along with the season of light and making merry.

If that’s the case, it’s important to recognize this, to remember, to grieve and to acknowledge that it won’t be as it was.

Striving to find new meaning, new purpose, is never easy but hopefully it may include an appreciation of past happy times.

A number of years ago, a couple I knew lost both their sons to a motor vehicle accident just before Christmas.

In memory of their two wonderful boys, these parents decided to hold a community dinner for those in need.

It grew every year, with family, friends and strangers (including my family) donating to this special dinner, a heartfelt, giving event in the face of loss. And their sons were commemorated at Christmas by so many.

Many churches offer Blue Christmas services for those experiencing loss to

Chase

help them get through a difficult time.

Communities hold dinners for singles and couples without nearby family. It’s all about being together.

For those planning a homegrown holiday celebration, there are a few ways to unplug t h e Christmas tre admill and create the festive time we all long for.

G i f t giving s e e m s to have become more of a conundrum of late—perhaps because we enjoy largesse all year.

I used to suggest to my stepson that instead of buying something for his young siblings, he take them out for an afternoon—to a movie, to the science museum, or to a sporting event, complete with treats and more importantly, lots of time with big brother.

My son used to give me Christmas gift coupons for special things: chores around the house, washing the car, foot rubs, whatever he thought would be of help to his busy mother.

Years ago with a nod to saving trees, I decided to send Christmas cards only to people out of town, friends and family I couldn’t see over the holidays.

With the arrival of inexpensive long distance plans, this evolved to a Christmas

Paper available online at www.ChaseSunflower.ca

telephone call—a ‘talking card’ if you like—that let us exchange news and best wishes.

Giving to a charity in the name of a loved one has become a significant gift that makes an important difference.

About twenty years ago at a workshop, participants were asked to fantasize the perfect festive season holiday.

S u r p r i s i n g l y, underneath the eccentric details, most of their fantasies were essentially alike.

The core of these imagined celebrations centered around simple gifts, natural decorations, a fire, traditional food, leisurely schedules, music, time spent out of doors, and an emphasis on family activities.

Mind you, a simple Christmas could be an economic bust for retailers, and many people have a strong need to keep Christmas the same, to hold on to the comfort of the nostalgia of childhood.

That being said, given that we buy, buy, buy seemingly all year and the holiday season will always involve more food, refreshments, decorations and some gift giving, simplifying it all comes with lots of advantages, not the least of which is arriving at Christmas weekend and not being exhausted.

Entertaining can be made easier too.

Take the pressure off the cook. Few of us have “hidden help” and few of us need gilded pears to make our holiday perfect.

Involve guests in the preparations. Have a ‘Christmas Leftover Party’ where guests bring leftovers from their festive meal.

Plan a meal that your guests make themselves, such as pizza, sandwiches, tacos, or salad.

Continued on page 7...

Page 7 December 9th, 2016 • Chase Sunflower

Enjoying the X-Mas Season

Continued from page 6...

Divide up a meal so the men make the lasagna and the women make the salad.

Plan a main dish that lends itself to ‘slow food’: cheese or meat fondue, sausages roasted over a fire, cooked crab cracked and dipped into sauce or melted butter.

Have a tasting party—guests provide, wine, coffee, cheeses or other food to share, emphasizing variety and quality.

Organize a progressive dinner, with each course provided by a different household and the entire party moves from one place to another.

THE

Invite friends or family over spontaneously—regardless of ‘how tidy or clean’ the house is. If kids are included, you’ll change expectations to more fun, organized chaos, and a happy madhouse atmosphere.

There are aspects of Christmas Past that are important to retain. For me, it’s making mince tarts in memory of my dear Grandmother. Rolling out dough takes me back.

However, the year I gave birth on December 9th while caring for a teenager

and a three year old, the mince tarts didn’t happen. But a happy Christmas did anyhow.

While traditions differ, the true meaning of the holiday season, the best of the late part of the year is the same for all of us: remembering, being grateful, lighting the dark, spending time with loved ones, enjoying good food, sharing what we have, reverence for whatever Higher Being exists for us, and preparing for the New Year. That’s comforting. •

Fitness Challenge - PLANK YOU! Submitted by Terra Lundy

With exercise, sometimes the simplest of movements result in the greatest gains to your fitness, and the plank position is an example of this. To do a plank, you simply hold our body off the ground, making sure to hold it in a straight line.

It may look easy, but holding the position takes strength and endurance in your abs, back and core.

Last week, I held a Plank Challenge in three different locations; Pritchard, Chase and at TRU in Kamloops. The fitness challenge, to those wiling to accept, was to hold the plank position as long as they could. I loved watching each person dig a little deeper than they did the day before.

Thank you to ALL the Business that took part and donated amazing prizes to this Annual 3rd Annual fitness challenge.

ALL PLANKERS went home with a prize and were amazed by their personal times.

The best times from that day, in minutes were: TRU 11:00 -Theron Reed 8:54-Jim Hu 7:14-Nicolas

HEAT OUTPLAYED

BY SOARING EAGLES

by Scott Koch

Three weeks of indifferent play find the HEAT stumbling along in a haphazard manner. The past week saw the EAGLES from Sicamous cruise houseboat style past the Chase crew in a leaky boat, in a home and away pair of ice capades.

Wednesday, November 30th on the eastern shores of Shuswap Lake the EAGLES teased the HEAT while recording a 5-4 two pointer.

In the 1st the Sicamous squad posted a pair from Alex Hartman and Jace Woodley.

Josh Bourne on the powerplay from Kolten Moore and Michael Fidanza and then Pat Brady from Fidanza and Brett Alexander tied the match up. Off to the 2nd and the EAGLES pop in two from Tyler Collens and Woodley with his 2nd. Chase comes back with a powerplay goal from Mason Palaga assisted by Kaden Black and Brady. Then Captain Spencer Farstad from Black and Zachary Fournier evens things at 4-4. However Dominic Dumas scores for the soaring birds, the 3rd is scoreless and the result a 5-4 slap in the face loss for the Little Shuswap team.

Game 2 on Saturday night the 3rd of December at the Art Holding Memorial Arena, the two teams suit up again.

272 fans in the bleachers are expecting redemption but instead get served a big plateful

of indifferent play. While the result a 4-3 loss was hard to swallow, there were some moments of thrills and chills.

Sicamous ends the 1st period ahead 2-0 thanks to goals from Dumas and Woodley.

The middle frame is scoreless due to the EAGLES going 0 for 5 on the powerplay as Chase got into penalty trouble. In the 3rd Chase pops in two, Fidanza a powerplay counter from Moore and Josh Bourne, then Fidanza with his 2nd from Brady and Bourne. Sicamous gets one from Cameron Flinton and another from Alex Astasiewicz to go up 4-2.

With 20 seconds to go Fidanza gets his 3rd of the night from Palaga and Black. Inspite of the night being the “Fiddle Sticks Show”, the rest of the squad played uninspired shinny for 50 of 60 minutes.

The result a 4-3 loss of two points.

Loose Change: The HEAT shuffled Calgarian Chris Pedersen out, and brought in defenceman Noah Looman in a trade with the Nelson Leafs.

Looman is from Saskatoon Saskatchewan and debuted in HEAT red Saturday night.

Travis Beaubien was back in the lineup after spending 4 weeks on the sidelines with a lower body injury. Jake Delorme and Evan Hughes remain on the injury list.

Friday night the 9th features the POSSE from Princeton at AHMA at 7:00 pm.
