So summer is over. Kids are back in school. The lake is empty of swimmers and filled up with people looking for fish. Hot smoky days are catalogued as memories, we make fall plans and hear whispers of Christmas decorations arriving in stores (although reportedly, Costco in Kamloops sold out of Christmas tress nearly 2 months ago). Smells of spices and the crunch of leaves have replaced the soft grasses of June and July. The joy of fresh corn on the cob is being replaced by satisfying pumpkin pie. Doesn’t it seem as though years are speeding up and the endless seasons we experienced as children now go by in the blink of an eye? It’s easy to think one season is superior and all the other seasons are endured simply to return to the best reason. For me, it was always summer I wanted-- fall, winter, and spring were faded versions of summer or they acted as preparation for the warm weather, suntans, and water activities. But not everyday can be spent at the beach in +30 temperatures. Summer is great, but it doesn’t have the feel of transition like the fall, or the warmth of holidays in the midst cold days, and it certainly doesn’t produce the hope of newness in the way that spring does. Our Lives are not unlike these seasons. We experience new growth and new life in spring, summer brings development and ease, fall offers a
harvest of the work of life, along with a transition to new ways of living, and winter means the gathering of friends and family, a slowing of yard work, and a time for reflection. Many people want endless summer and fight to stay in the balmy days of July. But have you considered what summer would be without fall, winter or spring? Summer without harvest leads to overgrowth and a parched crop. Endless spring prevents maturing. Winter alone paralyzes us in nostalgia and robs us of the excitement of the present or the future. Each season is unique in what it brings us, but each season is meant to be experienced as part of a broader reality. When we spend these seasons in community we can share all that the year brings. On its own, summer heat is oppressive. By itself, winter is frigid. But in community we are able to look ahead or reflect back, encouraging one another though all that one season may bring. So while I’ve put away my floating lounge chair (for now), I am looking forward to pumpkin pie. Summer was great, but fall can be just as enjoyable. I hope you can find value in what ever season you are in, a reality that is possible in community.

pm, Chase RCMP received a report of a disturbance in the 1200 block of the Trans-Canada Highway in Sorrento, BC. Police attended and determined a male had brandished a container of bear spray during a dispute with a neighbour. A 30 yr old Sorrento man was arrested and released from custody on a Promise to Appear in Court. The bear spray was seized by police. FRAUD On September 22nd, 2017, the Chase RCMP received a report from a North Shuswap resident indicating he was a victim to a fraud. The victim was contacted by telephone from a male stating he was from the Canada Revenue Agency. The male told the victim he owed money to the Canada Revenue Agency and threatened that the victim's property would be seized and that police would arrest him. The victim was directed to purchase iTune and Steam prepaid cards to submit for payment. The victim purchased $925.00 worth of the cards to provide to the fraudster. The Chase RCMP would like to caution people with regards to similar fraudulent attempts. If you receive a phone call where you are being threatened with arrest if you do not pay money it is likely a scam. Please contact the RCMP should you receive threats of arrest and we would be happy to advise if the call was legitimate. On September 22nd, 2017 at 5:15pm, Chase RCMP received a report of uttering threats occurring outside of the PetroCanada in Sorrento, BC. A male made threats that he would attend a residence in Sorrento and physically harm another male at the residence. Police located and arrested the 35 yr old Sorrento man who made the threats. He was released from custody on a Promise to Appear in court.

THE HIGHWAY AND HOME submitted by Scott Koch
As haywire as Junior Hockey can be from time to time this past weekend provided a silver lining. The Chase HEAT early in the regular season had a two week span of Jekyll and Hyde level performances. After 4 games they stood at 1 win and 3 losses. The question on the avid fan’s mind dealt with concern that their team didn’t measure up to their expectations. So Friday, the 22nd of September they boarded the bus to head down the highway to Princeton, to face off against the suddenly good POSSE. Early in the contest it was clear that the game would be high energy end to end action. Josh Bourne got the boys on the scoreboard first, assisted by Quinn Slezak. However Princeton worked hard to tie the match at 1-1. In the 2nd Chase went through an 8 minute lapse and the POSSE were up 2-1. Then came the 3rd period, where Bourne popped in a shorthanded unassisted tie goal. On the same penalty just 21 seconds later, Kolten Moore scored shorthanded from Bourne, and the starch was out of the vigilantes socks. Bourne fired in a hat trick goal on a powerplay from Moore and Cam Watson, to give the HEAT a 4-2 road win. The road home echoed with songs, jokes and laughter as the weary lads enjoyed their success as a team. Next up on Saturday Night at home in the confines of the Art Holding Memorial Arena, the Little Apple CHIEFS. The Kelowna crew arrived from the past night’s 7-0 pasting of the Knights from Armstrong. The two rivals have a history of dislike and it showed up early. But on this night the HEAT powerplay units were humming on all 6 cylinders. The first extra man goal arrived in the 1st from the stick of Ryan Okino on a sweet couple of passes from Kaden Black and Zachary Fournier. In the 2nd the smooth Pat Brady slapped in the second man advantage tally from Moore and Bourne. With the arrival of the 3rd stanza Brady did it again on the powerplay from Bourne and Moore.
Then Black played his part getting the 4th extra man goal from Bourne and Fournier. But that’s only 4, and so Evan Hughes joined the marksmen with a counter from Fournier and Brett Alexander. Powerplay goal #6 was the 2nd for Black from Fournier and Colten Nikiforuk, 6 cylinders, 6 goals! With time running out rookie Quinn Slezak popped in his 1st KIJHL goal from Alexander and Gavin Mattey, the only one scored five on five of the night. The conclusion, a 7-0 home victory over the Kelowna CHIEFS. So a 4 point weekend, ably backstopped
by new acquisition Conor Webb who got the shutout versus Kelowna. Webb moved over to the HEAT in a trade from the North Okanagan Knights. This coming weekend the Eagles soar in from Sicamous on Friday the 29th at 7:00 pm. It’s a one game weekend with the Annual Chase HEAT Golf Tournament on Saturday the 30th. A fun day and an opportunity to drive, chip and putt around Sunshore with the HEAT. Sign up at Sunshore or call Lars at 250-371-4878, to join the Village Hack and Whacks.
