A PASTORAL PERSPECTIVE: Saying Goodbye

by Tyler Harper

It’s been almost 15 years, but I can still feel the awkwardness in my body as I stood at my friend’s door. It was the end of summer and in the coming days were both to experience significant and exciting changes in our lives; mine included a cross country move and an exciting learning opportunity. This was a good thing, this was something we both had looked forward to, and yet saying goodbye was hard.

Acknowledging an absence, preparing for separation is often uncomfortable, as it was for me on that warm August day. But since that day I have had to say some goodbyes that were even harder.

In the past 5 years I have been forced to say what seems like a final goodbye to too many people who matter deeply to me. When you know that the upcoming separation isn’t just a matter of geography or scheduling, but death Saying goodbye doesn’t feel good, it actually hurts.

Being separated by death is uncomfortable, it is painful, and I would argue unnatural.

French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir once wrote “There is no such thing as a natural death…. All men must die: but for every man his death is an accident and, even if he knows it and consents to it, an unjustifiable violation.” This is a reality that is also reflected in the Christian Scriptures, that death was not part of creation

but only enters the world after humanity rejects who we are as creation.

Saying goodbye in these sorts of situations doesn’t feel good, because it’s not the way it was meant to be.

But there can be hope. Goodbyes don’t have to be forever. Because the story doesn’t end with that rejection but with resurrection, first for one very particular person who overcame death in His resurrection on the third day and one day for every person who have ever lived.

This experience can be hard, it can be scary, it can be lonely, but it can still be good because of the possibility of relationship and resurrection.

Goodbyes can be good — even when they are hard and the reason is revealed in the meaning of the word itself.

Joseph Shipley’s Dictionary of Early English notes that goodbye is a contraction, a shortened form of the phrase “God be by ye”, or in our English ‘God be with you’.

When we allow God to be with us we can know that these goodbyes aren’t forever, that there will be a not just a tomorrow, but an eternity — one that is fulfilling and free from pain, sickness, and death.

Goodbyes will always be awkward, they will often be hard, but they don’t need to be forever.

Lee Creek Subdivision cut short by a troubled economy

Mike Riley began his subdivision in earnest, with plans for three phases. The first phase, which began in 1973, focused on the highway and View Road, where his mother Beatrice had already sold a few lots on the lake side of the road. Due to the steep hillside on the northside, the building sites were located above the road and while the address for these lots was on View Rd. the actual access was a narrow unpaved alley off of Hopwood Road. Likely the first house built in the first phase is the home below the cliff on the north side of View Rd.

To market the lots, a small sales office was built on the highway across from the water intake. It quickly became obvious that the office was not attracting much attention from the highway traffic, so it became a storage building. Despite the low prices for the lots, between two and three thousand dollars, sales were slow, and many were purchased as investments by Mike’s friends and associates.

Once the water pipes were laid, marketing began for the second phase along both Hopwood and Lee Creek Drive. Tom Campbell built one of the first homes in the second phase on the corner lot where Hopwood meets Lee

Some finds, at the Maskwa Den

Creek Drive for a teacher, Jean Lindsey, from Haldane Elementary. Crichton Campbell, Tom’s son, purchased his first lot in 1978, and by that time the lot price had increased to $8,000.

The third phase presented many challenges, beginning with building the road up the steep hillside to the switchback, where Mike had set up a gravel crusher to provide road mulch. When the first attempt was rejected by the Ministry of Highways and Transportation for being too steep, Mike had to bring in a compressor for blasting the rock. After a second attempt was rejected, it took more blasting and bulldozing until the Ministry was satisfied with the grade.

The major challenge for the third phase was developing a water supply, as the proposed lots were higher than the water tanks installed for the first two phases.

Mike managed to obtain a water licence for a substantial supply from Freeman Brook and he obtained a lease from the government for one acre of land below the bluff for a reservoir.

In an effort to find a way to access the water he used his bulldozer in an attempt to cut a road from above the bluffs down to where he had cleared the area to store the water. Predictably, his effort to defy the geography failed, as the ground was too steep. He then cut a ditch from Freeman Brook to his reservoir site, however that attempt failed too because it is a seasonal creek, and the reservoir did not retain the water.

Bernie Gagne and Irwin Eisler. They decided that the only way to provide water was to build a concrete reservoir and pump up from the lake. A hole was dug on the leased acre and forms were built, but by this time it was the early 1980s and the economy was in tatters with interest rates at record levels.

With costs rising and no income, the third phase of the subdivision became bankrupt and was eventually purchased from the bank by a group of friends from the upper Lee Creek community. Today, there are homes on most of the original 70 lots in phases one and two, while just 18 families and individuals live on the proposed 40 lots in phase three.

POSTSCRIPT

The third phase of the subdivision was approximately 50 acres and had two deeds, approximately 25 acres each. The once dry pipes that were buried adjacent to the roads in the property to the west, which Tom Campbell had purchased from Emil Martinovsky, are now full of water. Property owners have a water license on Lee Creek and pump up to fill the pipes that provide water to most of the residents. The shared-title property to the east is no longer 25 acres, as two residents successfully subdivided off their lots.

637 Shuswap Ave in Chase

One of the selling features of the Anglemont subdivision in the 1970s was its air strip and Mike likely thought having one at Lee Creek would benefit sales. The Crown land below the bluff is quite flat and Mike applied for a lease to build an air strip on it. The government rejected his application for good reasons, one of them being if a plane overshot the runway, it could have ended up in the Lee Creek Canyon. To this day, we refer to this area as “the airport!”

By the end of the 1970s, a great deal of money had been spent paving the roads and installing water pipes for phase three of Lee Creek Heights, with nothing to show for it because the pipes were still dry. Mike needed an out, thus the uncompleted third phase of the subdivision, totalling approximately 50 acres, was sold to its two major investors,

Under today’s regional district regulations, the Lee Creek subdivision would not exist, as the minimum lot size is one hectare unless the developer builds and maintains a sewage treatment system. The one hectare rule was created by the provincial health department for the North Shuswap because of the situation in Scotch Creek, where there is a high water table and there is concern that more septic systems would pollute the water and the lake. It actually makes no sense to apply this rule everywhere as the septic systems in existing subdivisions like Lee Creek Heights and Anglemont have had not caused any pollution problems. Plus, the technology has improved and septic systems are now designed to operate well even where the water table is high. Revising this regulation would allow for more homes to be built and more people to live on the North Shuswap, which would vastly improve the local economy. The current lack of housing is preventing the North Shuswap community from expanding and is a deterrent to a healthy year-long economy.

Cops for Kids

submitted by Doug Everett, Chase Rotary

Last Friday, the “Cops for Kids” tour arrived in Chase on their 10 - day bike tour of the Okanagan and Thompson region. They are raising funds to support children and their families who have medical challenges.

The Chase Rotary Club in partnerships with Safety Mart Foods, Pharmachoice Food and Drug, and Haldane Elementary hosts a luncheon for the 35 riders and support team. Rotarian Jacquie Everett provides two hearty soups and the other sponsors provide veggie and fruit trays, supported with crusty buns and water. (The riders amongst themselves, have been talking about the soup since they left Salmon Arm this morning)! Jacquie’s soup has been a very popular item over the past few years.

The tour entered Chase and picked

CDFGC Update for October

by Helen Dalin secretary

Well, the times are always changing, and how community groups go about doing things also has to change and keep up with the times. For the Fish and Game Club, it has been a lot about how to fundraise currently in the age of electronic information. The world has changed in how we interact with people since Covid. Last fall, the CDFGC did their first online fundraising event, “The Big Fall 50/50”. It was a big learning curve for our group in how to use technology and the web to raise money. The Big Fall 50/50 was very successful for us and especially was appreciated by the younger generation and out of town members. Therefore, the CDFGC is going to start a tradition of having an online “Big Fall 50/50” every Fall. We have opted to change to a new platform that allows us to also have a silent auction section at the same link.

You may ask yourself why does the CDFGC have to fundraise if they have memberships? Well, the memberships do not nearly cover all the expenses necessary to have such a nice facility in our little town for the local outdoorsmen. We have a club house, rifle range, archery range, pistol range, and trap and skeet equipment and outbuildings to maintain. Several acres of grounds must be kept mowed and weeded. We live in a 4-season environment, so spring break up plays havoc with our roads into the range and keeping the roads and parking areas accessible requires a lot of gravel. We also have wood target replacement continually needed. Archery equipment and targets wear out. The CDFGC also donates dollars raised to other local community groups and a variety of environmental causes that need support.

This year we are hoping the local community and district will again support the Chase and District Fish and Game Big Fall 50/50 with buying tickets and bid on one of our silent auction items. Keep coming back to the link because the auction items will be

updated as new donations are procured. Here is the link to the Home Page of “The Big Fall 50/50” https://trellis.org/ thebigfall5050 . At the top right side of the Home page click on Raffle to buy 50/50 tickets or click on Auction to look at and bid on silent auction items. We have some great auction items to bid on. Or, scan the Qr code below, it will also take you to the Home Page where you can toggle back and forth between tickets and auction items by clicking the top right-hand side of the Home Page. If you are on a phone, then click on the 3-line menu bars.

50/50 tickets are one for $5, five for $20, or the best value 20 for $50. All information is encrypted by Trellis. Print tickets or save your email ticket #’s until prizes are awarded on November 1st, 2022.
