CHASE COUNTRY QUILTERS

QUILT SHOW & SALE – OVER 120 QUILTS OCTOBER 22, 2022 10AM – 2PM CREEKSIDE SENIORS CENTER submitted by Chase Country Quilters

Many hands, many stitches, many pieces of cloth. The Chase Country Quilters, twenty members strong are a “quiet” Chase treasure. They are a group of friendly ladies that meet and sew on Wednesday mornings.

The club was started 25 years ago in 1997 by Chris Welch as a Learn to Quilt group. Since 2009 the club has made 1770 quilts and given away most of them. The Chase public health nurse gifts a quilt to each new baby on their first home visit (324 quilts).

Fire victims received a quilt (30).

The Royal Inland Hospital received quilts – cancer clinic (246), renal dialysis (72), pediatrics (258).

Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, Kamloops received 61 quilts for their beds. Organizations in Chase received quilts to help with fundraising – Chase

Rotary Auction (9), Chase Museum (7), Chase Legion Telethon (6), Team Chase (9), Chase Heat Hockey (7) and Chase Curling Club (3).

The Quilters are not in it for the money, but for the joy of making and giving.

Once a year, quilts and handmade items are exhibited and sold to raise money for fabric (they accept fabric donations also), batting, thread and operating costs.

This allows them to continue using their skills to comfort and assist others.

Come out and support these ladies at the 12th Annual Show & Sale, Saturday Oct 22, 2022 at Creekside Seniors 10 am – 2 pm.

A really big THANK YOU goes to the Chase Curling Club for welcoming us with space to sew and to EVERYONE for their support.

SEEING THE ROCKIES OVER A WEEKEND submitted by Scott Koch, Chase Heat

This past weekend your Heat left town on a 52 passenger land yacht in the early hours of Friday the 30th of September.

Their first stop on their itinerary was a meet and greet with the Kimberley Dynamiters. Now the KABOOM crew are perennially one of the best in the KIJHL, so who knew which way this was going to go. Young hearts and bus legs stepped out of the bus to face the opposition at the historic Civic Centre, a place that permeates the blood sweat and tears of battles fought decades ago.

Remember there are 14 rookies walking into the unknown on a team that is still trying to find it’s footing and some chemistry. Added to this is the fact this is the Heat’s first crossover competition in years. The KIJHL consists of the Kootenay Conference and the Okanagan of which the Heat belong.

So, enough bafflegab lets get to the action. 26 seconds in the opposition sticks a dagger in the Chase crew. A little over a minute later veteran Aidan Brown evens the score with a helper from Kieran Armitage.

The hosts then pop in a second goal followed by Maddex Bignell on the man advantage

SUDOKU

from Braeden Huth and Josh Gagnon.

Before the first twenty minutes is in the books Ryan Keylor gets his first KIJHL goal on the powerplay helped by Mason Lilly and Matt Crews, its 3-2. In the 2nd Jalen Davidson on the man advantage from Lilly and Crews adds to the lead.

Dynamiters get one back on a powerplay and after 40 its 4-3. It’s a tennis match for 12 plus minutes in the 3rd before Kimberley ties it up. Three minutes later Davidson with his 2nd of the game regains the lead with aide from Gagnon and Armitage. With their net empty and an extra marksman on the ice the hosts tie it at 5-5. The teams are off to overtime where nothing changes. Time for a shootout and the hosts take a 6-5 win, with Chase garnering a single point for the regulation tie. Roderic May stopped 28/33 in a valiant effort between the pipes. A huge moral boosting point versus strong opposition.

After overnight slumbers the Chase crew ready themselves for a Saturday night Special in Invermere versus the Columbia Valley Rockies. Off to the races and the hosts strike first, but Bignell again on the powerplay pots his

second of the road trip from Huth and its 1-1. The Rockies score twice more in the 1st, twice more in the 2nd and 3 more times in the 3rd, prior to Armitage from Davidson making it in the end an 8-2 loss. The Rockies had 51 scoring opportunities faced by a combination of Meyer Gaume and late in the 3rd May who both stood tall in a barrage from a formidable opponent.

Coming up next is a busy Thanksgiving weekend including two games at the Art Holding Memorial Arena with a Golf Tournament at Sunshore sandwiched in between on Saturday. Friday night at 7:00 pm the Princeton Posse ride into a hostile environment at our chilly Chaos Castle. Sunday features a 1:00 pm clash with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. The Heat and Nitehawks battled for the KIJHL Championship some 6 years ago with the visitors winning the series.

Both these contests will be supercharged with some like and a lot of the other (you fill in the blank). What is better on a long weekend then taking your sweetie and the kids to a couple of entertaining hockey games. See you at the rink!

Chase & District Museum & Archives is being showcased at the G20 YEA Summit in Germany

*Experienced in Municipal Government

Chase & District Museum & Archives Society has joined The VR Voyage Classroom community.

Over the last year, technology startup Forager Education and the BC Museums Association (BCMA) collaborated on the development of a platform that connects the province’s natural and cultural heritage with BC classrooms.

Chase & District Museum & Archives Society has joined this innovative new platform to share our story with a larger audience of teachers, classrooms, and schools across British Columbia and the world. The VR Voyage Classroom will have the spotlight on an international stage in October. It was named one of the official delegates for the 2022 G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance (YEA) Summit in Germany. We are excited to forge a new path forward through the pandemic.

Learning from the adaptations that other organizations made, we can collaborate as a sector through the help of the BCMA and Forager Education.

With the platform fully launched this September 2022, Forager Education and its production partners are developing new inperson programs and educational experiences that utilize the latest in distance education and virtual reality trends. Creating programs to be enjoyed on-site or from any corner of the BC and the globe allows us to share our story beyond the limits of our community. COVID caused us to rethink how we operate and further our mandate. With fewer physical visitors, we had to explore

new technologies to support our operations and ensure our story continued to be told.

“We are so excited to work with the Chase & District Museum & Archives Society and showcase their important story locally and internationally during the G20 YEA Summit in Germany.”

- Bryce Mathew Watts, Founder & Program Director at Forager Education “Myself and the Chase & District Museum & Archives Society’s board of directors are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our history on a wider scale than ever before and to join other institutions in creating a valuable resource.”

- Breanne Malo, Curator/Manager at Chase & District Museum & Archives Society The G20 YEA Summit coincides with the annual G20 Summit where young entrepreneurs from G20 nations present novel business models to create a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Forager Education, as an official Canadian Delegate, provides a platform to showcase what BC’s heritage sector is doing to build a stronger future together.

Forager Education is innovating the way curriculum-connected programming is developed by institutions and experienced by students. Working with a network of Indigenous, cultural, scientific, and artistic partners, we are creating a new era of experiential learning for in-class and distance learning. Whether our partners are rural organizations or large provincial institutions, each has an important story to tell.

*52 years in Housing Industry If elected to Council in Chase my goal is to see new businesses in the downtown and to work with the province on providing more affordable housing. I have a plan of how this can be done and the contacts to achieve this.

My wife and I are currently working on making the move to Chase and hope to be in our new home

by Christmas if it works like we want it to.

I want to work for a better future for us all.

- On October 15, please vote -

Salmon Arm “Shuswap Coffee House” Happenings

by Carolyn Parks Mintz, Author, Freelance Writer & Journalist

Wildwood Productions and the Gleneden Association are pleased to again present the popular Coffee House e ve n i ng s — e nte r t ai n me nt events that ran for ten years during the 1970’s and 80’s— to be held at Gleneden Hall located at 5151 49th Street NW, just west of Salmon Arm, running off TransCanada Highway opposite Pierre’s Point Road.

So, what is a “Coffee House?”

The Oxford Canadian Dictionary defines it as a place serving coffee and refreshments, as well as (more significantly) live performances presented cabaret style. And that’s what will be re-staged at the Hall every third Saturday from October 15 to next May. Shows will be Open Mic format, with talented local singers and instrumentalists stepping up to the microphone and delivering music sure

to lighten the mood and set toes to tapping. As an added attraction, poets and raconteurs are invited to weave their stories with readings that take audiences to imagined places through word pictures.

In the interest of health safety, COVID protocols will be optional. Shuswap Coffee House doors will open at 6:30 pm for performer registrations and audience attendees, with the programme starting at 7:00 pm. A few spots can be booked in advance for outof-town performers.

Call 250.832.2300 to reserve.

Beverages and snacks will be available. Admission fee is $4.00.

Music and the arts – a panacea like no other. And a great way to add to your weekends.
