Local Country Musician Releases Single

I

by Kelsey Snelgrove

f you’ve lived in Chase a while you’ve most likely heard Tanner Dawson, pre-pandemic performing at local events. Now you can download the local country musician’s new single called “The Man You Make Me” to enjoy in the comfort of your own home, car, or headphones.

Dawson describes the single as a love song with that 90’s country feel mixed in with a few newer modern elements.

“The inspiration was from my past relationship, but I think I wrote this song more so to express how a lot of guys feel when they care about someone and you want to be the best person you can possibly be for them,” said Dawson.

He’s currently working on a 5 song EP that includes “The Man You Make Me”.

On October 1st the tune will be released to country radio stations across North America. Feel free to call in to your favorite station and request to hear it.

In conjunction with the new single and debut radio release Dawson is planning to host a release party at the Blue Grotto

MLS 164048

Nightclub in Kamloops. The event is scheduled for Sept. 30th, however it may get postponed until Nov. 4th, depending on COVID protocols. Visit www.TannerDawsonMusic.com for updates.

In other exciting news, Dawson is releasing his first line of merchandise along with this single which will be available exclusively for purchase at the release party until later when it will be released on my online store in December.

There will be a limited run of top of the line Yuupong classic snapback hats with a leather patch, and women’s tank tops featuring the single art.

“I will be releasing pictures and promo for both these items in the coming weeks so stay tuned,” said Dawson.

You can find "The Man You Make Me" by Tanner Dawson at Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal; anywhere you can stream or purchase music.

September is Literacy Month submitted by Chase Lit(shared from Decoda)

AT HOME: • Literacy matters for health. Canadians with stronger literacy skills enjoy better health. Literacy skills help people find, understand, and use health information.

•

•

Literacy matters for managing personal finances. Numeracy is a key factor in financial literacy. Literacy matters for u nderst anding rights and responsibilities.

It helps people understand what to do in legal proceedings.

A literacyrich home environment matters for developing young children’s literacy skills. Having books and reading aloud at home are significant ways to support children’s long term literacy skills.

AT WORK: • Literacy matters for employment. Strong literacy skills are connected to being employed.

• Literacy matters for earnings. Stronger literacy skills are associated with earning higher wages.

•

Literacy matters for health and safety. Understanding and following health and safety instructions can be critical for personal safety.

• L iterac y matters for success at work. Improving literacy skills can increase efficiency and accuracy at work and can decrease workrelated stress.

• L i t e r a c y matters for adult education. People with stronger literacy skills are more likely to participate in adult education and jobrelated training.

IN THE COMMUNITY: • Literacy matters for community participation. Canadians with stronger literacy skills are more likely to volunteer.

• Literacy matters for political involvement. Canadians with higher skills are more likely to feel they can influence government.

• Research indicates that literacy skills may be an important factor in interpersonal communication, community participation and inclusion.

“…it is hard to identify any other single issue that can have such a large payoff to individuals, the economy and society” – Craig Alexander

Opinion

A Tough Year— But with Teachable Moments!

Carolyn Parks-Mintz, Author, Journalist & Freelance Writer September’s here, and somehow in many ways it feels as though summer never arrived. What’s usually a fun-filled season of outdoorsy activities passed by in a haze of sizzling heat, wildfires, smoke-filled days, pandemic precautions, and missing family and friends.

In early 2021, your journalist wrote about what 2020 should have taught us— and probably had taught us. However, it’s apparent that the current year includes a steep learning curve too.

And presents the question, “What can I do as an individual to help create a step in the right direction?”

Given that COVID’s fourth wave is occurring and continues to be rampant in many parts of the globe, this insidious disease warrants discussion—and the note that it’s called a ‘novel’ virus for a reason: it’s one that has not been upon us previously.

Hence, as with all newness, knowledge of it is a progressive thing.

Not that epidemics or pandemics are new—the Antonine Plague struck the Roman Empire between 165 and 180 BCE, killing a quarter of its population. Europe’s Black Death bubonic plague (1347-51) attacked a subsistence-level population dealing with a changing climate, overpopulation, and bad harvests, and eradicated 40 million people in four years.

Science has shown that COVID-19 is highly transmissible, can be spread by those without symptoms, that it can be fatal for older adults, can seriously impact some children, and now includes variants worse than the original virus.

On the upside, in anticipation of a more deadly version of SARS (2003) and MERS (2012) which COVID is, twenty years of international scientific research meant that vaccinations were available early in the pandemic and at no charge.

Once COVID-19 had presented itself, the virus’s DNA was sequenced and work on vaccines against its symptoms was underway—treatment that targets just the disease.

There then followed the three stages of development: the exploratory stage, the pre-clinical stage and the clinical stage, before vaccines were approved for use.

As in the past, effectively protecting oneself and others against infection is critical to defeating a disease. Vaccines are why polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, pertussis, tetanus, tuberculosis, yellow fever and small pox no longer threaten us.

My family history speaks to this: Diphtheria ravaged my dear paternal Grandfather’s family. His parents, my Great-Grandparents, lost five children, including their two-year-old only daughter, to diphtheria. I’ve placed flowers on their gravestones.

In this modern medical age, personally I could never put another person’s life at risk by transmitting a disease whose harm could be mitigated and/or negated by my getting a vaccination.

It’s important to recognize that some people are unable to be vaccinated for other health reasons and are granted medical exemptions—even more crucial to protect them from COVID. Laws and regulations are in place, even in a strong democracy like Canada, to protect the public—sometimes to protect the public from themselves—whether that be through licensing, seat belts, helmets, gun control, policing, or immunization. A safe social order is dependent upon abiding by such directives.

A September 3rd news item by Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam reported on new COVID-19 modelling which warns that Canada could see up to 15,000 cases per day by October if vaccinations do not increase and more restrictive health measures are not introduced. Relatively short-term inconvenience for long-term gain would seem in order and is obviously required.

Progressively severe weather disasters, inherent ecological harm, and increasing wildfire damage are clear indicators of global climate change—change that does not bode well for the future without changes to what corporations and humans do and how they function.

Marine ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented warming and acidification, leading to destruction of coral reefs as well as extensive marine life. Continued on pg 6

Opinion Column

Widespread drought conditions have negatively impacted crop yields, food production, and livestock feed.

The excessive heat and subsequent increase in the number of wildfires this year in British Columbia point to the growing need to address greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

Experts and scientists in wildland fire management, fire ecology, and climate change state that the current conflagration situation is beyond a crisis.

“Climate Change, Wildfires & the Costs of Limited Action,” a recent comprehensive white paper published by the University of British Columbia’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, Earth, Environment & Geographic Sciences Department, details a plan to reduce western Canadian fire threats and prevent crisis seasons such as in 2021.

Along with his collaborators from the Indigenous community, academia, government and industry, Assistant Professor Dr. Mathieu Bourbonnais, one of the paper’s authors and a former wildland firefighter, is worried about forest conditions and doing more proactively to reduce wildfires.

Beyond threats to homes and people, Dr Bourbonnais cites the following as bigger wildfire issues: potential premature deaths due to smoke impacting human health, the millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions from forest fires, the adverse social, physical, and mental health impacts of fear, death, and evacuations, along with the billions of dollars in increased suppression and indirect fire price tags.

The report lists five guiding principles to successfully reduce wildfire risks and costs, while strengthening wilderness ecological systems: scaling solutions (to meet the size of the area treated and the volume of fuel biomass); climate emergency realities driving the actions; social justice considerations; smart policy informed by holistic and inclusive solutions; and committing to sustained long-term actions.

While fire is a natural part of wilderness habitat, longer wildfire seasons and larger fires are creating huge hazards for wildlife— just another serious problem affecting the living creatures we share this earth with— and one that must be addressed.

In that more people are living in fireprone areas and a changing climate is

lengthening the fire season as well as creating more extreme weather conditions, it is incumbent upon citizens, governments, and agencies to take concrete steps aimed at lessening endangerment and dealing with extremes.

It’s clear that climate change temperature increases and wildfire severity are inextricably linked.

So what can we do as individuals?

Could be acquiring a ‘greener’ vehicle that’s electric or that isn’t completely dependent on fossil fuels, advocating for additional charging stations right across the country, driving speed limits to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust, composting more, re-cycling as much as possible, contacting governments with concerns, shopping astutely, demanding the removal of forest deadfall ‘kindling’ adjacent to communities and utilizing controlled burns, increasing insulation in our homes, adding fire-resistant materials or systems to residences where possible, and obeying fire-bans.

A price on pollution has proven to be the only thing that results in reduction of carbon emissions by corporations and industry. Supporting such carbon tax levies is another step toward a sustainable environmental future.

Countries where coal is burned extensively (much of it coming from Canada) should be encouraged and assisted to convert to more environmentally friendly products, fuels, and systems.

All the foregoing is a tall order, but what option is there? Our children and grandchildren should not suffer because of previous generation’s inaction. Life on earth should not be sacrificed at the altar of negligence by humans.

As conscientious Canadians, let’s be a driving force behind positive changes— simply because we care! ***** Additional References:

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Two PPC (People's Party of Canada) candidates spoke at the Chase Memorial Park on Fri., September 10th. Kyle Delfing (pictured) - North Okanagan/Shuswap riding (includes Chase) & Corally Delwo - Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding (includes Pritchard) Photo by Zilly Palamar

Settle in before Winter

Green Party in Chase On Sept. 12, Chase voters had an interesting discussion with Andrea Gunner, the Green Party candidate for the North Okanagan Shuswap riding. Andrea took time from her busy schedule at her family farm near Armstrong to drive over to Chase for an outdoor afternoon meeting.

Andrea stressed (and demonstrated) that she is willing to listen to all constituents' concerns and suggestions. She presented many practical solutions to some of the problems facing our local area and our country. For example, instead of placing roadblocks in the way of small businesses (such as the filling out of numerous

forms and applications), owners could be provided with positive assistance and advice (as occurs in many European countries).
