LetterS to the Editor Brownest Village in BC?
Please, tell me that our Council has more sense than to aspire to be the “Brownest Village In BC”. Chase is beautiful and “Green” and that is what makes our Community so attractive. It would appear, that arriving at sewage billing numbers, involves “punishing” those who garden, rather than basing it on actual consumption. Please, remember that green lawns and gardens produce oxygen and cool the air and that has value. While it might be necessary to bill seasonal residents in this way, one sample billing of Winter consumption is all that is needed to arrive at a reliable base for year round residents. This makes more sense than having Citizens terrified that every time they turn on a tap, it is being interpreted as a flush. Before Council commits us to a course of action that makes a virtue out of turning our properties into dustbowls, I would like to feel assured that Council has thought this through, that the entire picture has been considered and that the formula being used is intended to be fair to all. As is usually the case, a middle ground might prove to be more reasonable. Has Council factored in the increased administration costs in switching to this billing model? Has it considered the loss of revenue from empty lots? Does it make sense to switch? How will the Golf Course be impacted by this change in billing? Will they be paying more or less? Is it legal to bill for something you can’t measure? If conservation is the motivation, would it not be reasonable to incorporate high and low volume of use times and rates and shouldn’t we eliminate watering until after 6pm instead of 4pm? We need transparency and much more dialogue in order to make the best decision for our Community. Ms. Jocelyn Nash
Questions for Churchill
Some comments by Wally Churchill in the September 04, 2015 edition of the Sunflower make me wonder. Mr. Churchill expresses concern about the “dangers of the big corporations taking over our country.” I wonder if Mr. Churchill realizes that all those big corporations work in accordance with rules and regulations prepared by various levels of government to protect the us and our country, and that the activities of the big corporations are closely monitored by representatives of those governments. I wonder if Mr. Churchill has a car, or a TV, or a kitchen stove on which to prepare his meals, or a furnace to keep his home warm, or even just a simple pair of scissors. I wonder where

54.66% Increase Too Much
I recently received an unsigned letter on Council letterhead concerning proposed changes to utility taxes. This anonymous letter raises a number of concerns, as well as my blood pressure. First the assumption that water delivered equals sewage out is nonsensical and I would love to hear the author argue this proposition before a judge. To take a somewhat ridiculous example, my cat drinks tap water then goes outside and pees in the garden. No return to the sewer system! Neither is there any from washing my car nor watering my lawn and garden. The one to one correspondence assumed by the writer occurs in the “frozen months” if even then, since some people create ice rinks in their gardens for their children which eventually drain into the ground, not the sewer system. Another point is the rate of increase in the levy. When the water system was proposed the electorate was promised no more than a ten percent increase per year for five years. I currently pay $476.73 per annum for utilities. It is proposed that I should pay $737.31 per annum, an increase of 54.66% with more to come presumably in future years. A little steep for an eighty-five year old on a fixed pension income. Roger F. Behn
those items would come from if they were not manufactured and distributed by the “big corporations”. And the little ones as well. Mr. Churchill states that “mining companies are ravaging our watersheds”. I wonder if Mr. Churchill is aware that since mining commenced in Canada over 100 years ago, the mining and extraction of minerals and metals has disturbed less than one one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%) of the land area of Canada. That hardly seems to me to justify the use of the term “ravaging.” I wonder where Mr. Churchill’s car, TV, stove, furnace, and scissors would come from if there was no production of minerals and metals. I wonder. Dick Hermann

Homemade Ketchup
6 lbs tomatoes 1 tablespoon salt 2 garlic cloves 1⁄4 cup sugar 1⁄4 cup onion, chopped 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1⁄2 teaspoon mustard seeds 1⁄2 teaspoon black peppercorns 1⁄2 teaspoon whole allspice 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 bay leaf 2 whole cloves
Depending on size, halve or quarter your tomatoes. Sauce tomatoes (Roma) are ideal, but any will work. Add tomatoes, salt, garlic, sugar, and onions to a pot and boil for 30 minutes. Cool the mixture until you can send it safely
through your food mill. If you don’t have a food mill, you can peel and squeeze the tomatoes using the boiling water /ice bath method. Return the now de-seeded and de-skinned tomato sauce to the pot and back onto the stove. Continue to boil the sauce to thicken. Meanwhile, in another pot; heat the apple cider vinegar with all the remaining spice additions, until the spices infuse into the vinegar. Using a strainer to leave behind the whole spices, pour the vinegar into the tomato mix. Continue to reduce until you reach the desired texture. This can take 4-6 hours. You can use a crock pot for this part. Follow standard canning procedure if you want a shelf-stable product. Otherwise cool and keep in the fridge.

OBITUARY
Edward (Ted) Beauchamp
Ted Beauchamp of Chase passed away peacefully on August 26, 2015, at the age of 91, after a brief stay in Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Ted is lovingly remembered and survived by his wife Helen, daughter Wendy, son Jeff, his brother Alfred (Isabel) along with numerous nieces and nephews. Ted was born June 29, 1924 in Calgary and grew up on a farm near Sundre, AB. He worked many years with Parks Canada in Banff National Park where he met Helen. They raised their family in Lake Louise until they tired of long, snowy winters. After moving to Chase in 1977, the family enjoyed the long summers and happy times at the local lakes. Ted liked to putter in his workshop and working in the garden. In retirement, Ted and Helen enjoyed many bus tours and car trips throughout Canada and the US. Despite challenges with Alzheimer’s and mobility issues in the past several years, Ted remained upbeat and otherwise quite healthy. Thanks to the support services offered in Chase by the Interior Health Adult Day Center and the local Alzheimer’s Support Group, Helen was able to take care of Ted in the familiar comfort of home until his final few days. As per Ted’s wishes, there will be no service. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC www.alzheimerbc.org.

Word Search - School
September means back to school. In relation to the biological history of our species, schools are very recent institutions. For hundreds of thousands of years, before the advent of agriculture, adults in hunter-gatherer cultures allowed children almost unlimited freedom to play and explore on their own because they recognized that those activities are children’s natural ways of learning.
