On December 5, proceeds from the Chase Country Christmas Pancake Breakfast will be dedicated to kick off the Chase Water Splash Park. Flyers will be circulated throughout the community with an opportunity for residents to sign up that they are in support and will be attending. This sign up is important, so that the club can anticipate the amounts of food needed.

The event will run from 7:00 am to 11:00 am on Saturday, December 5 at the Chase Community Hall.

Adults by donation. A water play fountain will be onsite for children to drop their toonie and make a SPLASH! Watch for further announcements.

A CHASE SPLASH PARK??

Submitted by Bev Iglesias, Chase Lions

o you remember jumping in puddles, running through garden sprinklers and spraying your friends with garden hoses? Playing with water is simply fun. There is no right way to use it. Water play fosters imagination, curiosity but also brings out the experimentation factor in children.

A water play park can be the catalyst for building concepts, developing language, and promoting social skills. Water play is developmentally appropriate regardless of the child’s physical condition, age, language, gender, culture, or exceptionality. (Bredeikamp 1987).

Simply put...water is intriguing!

The Chase Lions Club this past year, partnered with the Village of Chase to apply for a Canada 150 grant. Although the grant funding has not been announced, the Chase Lions Club dedicated $50,000.00 and want to go ahead with this worthwhile family project.

Adventures in Celebrancy Column by Susan Cairnie

What is a Celebrant anyways? Someone who gets to celebrate all the time? That is not far off! Life Cycle Celebrants creates personalized ceremonies, such as wedding and funerals, that reflect the unique beliefs and spiritual values of the individuals involved. This is a great option for those who don't feel connected to a religious body, but still want to mark their significant life events in meaningful ways.

Celebrants believe in the power of ceremony and ritual to mark significant life events, and come to the table with no preconceived ideas of how a ceremony should look. Instead, through careful interviewing, they draw out what is important to the client and work together to create a meaningful ceremony.

This September, I began my Foundations in Celebrancy course through the Celebrant Foundation and Institute, and I am excited to share some of what I am

learning with you in this monthly column.

As a celebrant, I am studying the art of ritual, ceremony, world traditions, faith traditions, mythology and ceremonial writing and speaking. This is preparing me to officiate at all kinds of life events, including Weddings, Civil and Sacred Unions, Mother Blessings, Baby Namings, Adoption, Illness, Healing, Funerals, Celebration of Life, Animal Tributes, Work Place and Job Loss, and much more! Celebrants also create ceremonies for seasonal, community, corporate and civic events. In addition, as a Celebrant I will become an ordained InterFaith Minister who can perform legal marriage ceremonies.

Last spring my sister asked me to officiate at her Sacred Union ceremony, and I had such a great time that I was inspired to take this course. I've always loved celebrating special events with my community, and this course offers me a way to share my joy for life in creative ways. For more information, check out my blog at www.joyfulcelebrationsblog. wordpress.com.

Churchill’s Corner

by Wally Churchill

I met some nice people from Saudi Arabia at the Bakery, with a beautiful daughter named Amira. I sang a song for her; her mom got jealous so I sang to her. Her dad wanted a song, so I sang a song for him.

We have a Hillbilly Hootenanny Christmas coming up, on Saturday December 12th from 2 to 11 pm [God willing’ and the creek don’t rise]. All proceeds are going to the Hamper Society. Only three weeks away....

People ask what is a Hootenanny?

It comes from a time when people got together and had a hoot. Wear your Halloween costume, dress as Santa, coveralls, farmer style, potato sack and have a hoot. The back stage gang will start it off at 2 pm. Ella, Rollie, Vern,

and gang. Lots of Christmas songs, singalongs, dancing is free. We need singing groups, comics like the Loonie Toonies, anything else. Remember no admission, donations of money, canned goods, etc. If you’re broke, come on down and help out. I will be there at 11 am, setting up the PA with Doug and Vern. Coffee has to be put on by noon.

Phone Wally 250-318-7324 if you can help out. We could use some donations from businesses for prizes, maybe snacks. Loonies, toonies, and $100 bills gladly accepted.

Last time we raised over $900 and lots of canned goods and stuff! Let’s blow the roof off this time. It would be nice to see Councillors Nancy, Ali, Steve, Dave and Mayor Rick there!

Skiing for Health

Not surprisingly, the skiers were in better shape than the non-skiers.

The results show that the skiers had approximately twice the cardiovascular and muscular fitness of the untrained group. One of the big differences between cross-country skiing and other forms of exercise, like running and cycling, is that your upper body plays a big role. The full body workout provided by cross-country skiing is uniquely effective. The untrained subjects, despite being blessed with

remarkable health, were perilously close to the inability to live independently.

The message: Good genes can help you live a long life, but if you want to fully enjoy those later years, go Cross Country Skiing.

The SKAMANA SKI & SNOWSHOE CLUB season opens soon, check out our web site www.ski-skmana.com or call Darcy 250 679 3941 for more information.

MEL ARNOLD SWORN IN AS MP

Mel Arnold, MP-elect was sworn in November 16, 2015 as the newest Member of Parliament to represent the North Okanagan-Shuswap electoral district by the Deputy Clerk of the House of Commons, Marc Bosc.

The ceremony was short, MP Arnold reported, but holds significance in protocol as members are not able to enter the House of Commons until sworn in.

“I am looking forward to getting down to the serious work of representing the constituents of the North Okanagan-Shuswap,” said MP Arnold. “I am happy to report that my constituency office

staff have already been able to assist with calls regarding seniors access to a Old Age Security payments, permanent resident status and Training Visas.

Other priorities include forwarding the many concerns of local constituents regarding the diligent screening of all Canadian-bound refugees to ensure the security of all Canadians.”

MP Arnold has yet to secure a permanent location for his new constituency office, but can be reached at 250 260-5020 or 1-800-6655040 or Mel.Arnold.C1@Parl.gc.ca

Pin Chatter: News from the Bowling Alley

by Cayln Buresh, Village Lanes

With the winter season rolling in, things are getting busier and busier around Village Lanes! Today, I’m going to talk to you a little bit about an event that is coming up. It is not an event run by Village Lanes.

We are merely a venue for the event, but it is for SUCH a great cause, that I figured it would definitely be worth mentioning. A couple of special ladies in the community of Chase have spent countless hours preparing, organizing, and planning for this very special event. Are you ready?

IT’S LADIES NIGHT! Yes, you heard me. Ladies Night! To be precise, it is the 2nd Annual Ladies Sip & Shop Extravaganza! As a lady living in Chase, it can sometimes be frustrating not being able to always shop locally. Well, that’s what this event is all about! 15 local

vendors set up shop inside Village Lanes, get together for one night of the year, and sell, sell, sell to all of the ladies in Chase and surrounding areas! Vendors range from Scentsy representatives, to Christie Mickelson Photography, and even Passion Party’s somewhere in between! The cost of tickets is $10/person, you get a door prize ticket simply for showing up, and the best part? Wine is on special! Appetizers are made available for the ladies to snack on throughout the evening while browsing the vendor stations. 100% of all ticket proceeds are donated to the Chase Toy Store. What an amazing cause. Ladies, to be a part of this special event tomorrow night, please swing by Village Lanes and get your ticket today!

OBITUARY

Kevin Bruce Coates

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the death of Kevin Bruce Coates on November 2, 2015. Kevin was born March 24, 1959, the last in a line of six siblings. Kevin grew up in Chase on the family farm. Kevin had a passion for anything with a motor, the faster it went the better.

Many of you will remember his mud bogging days with “Blue Thunder”. One of his other passions was fishing.

He was happiest with a fishing rod in his hand.

Kevin started working for CP Rail at a young age and made many friends there who still remain friends today (his CP family). He became a Heavy Duty Mechanic and continued his employment at CP Rail until he retired and opened his own mechanical repair shop at his home in Chase KC & Sons.

Kevin loved his sons. They were his world. He took them on as many camping, fishing and hunting trips as they wanted. He worked hard to give “his boys” whatever they wanted to guide them through life as best he could.

Kevin faced many challenges in his short life, most of which he overcame. This last one was too much.

Kevin will be loved and remembered by “his boys” Devon (Daria) Coates, Matthew Coates, Braden (Kimberlyn) Coates, Chance Coates, and Shale Coates. Also mourning Kevin’s loss are his brothers Dave (Carole) Coates, Ken (Maureen) Coates, Gary (Sandra) Coates, his sisters Judy (Bert) Denault and Holly (Pete) Mintz and many nephews, nieces, and cousins. He was predeceased by his mom and dad, “Bud” & Ruby Coates, and brother-in-law Terry Hand.

A memorial gathering took place on Sunday, November 8th, 2015 at the home of Gary & Sandra Coates at 4580 Kamloops-Shuswap Rd.
