10 Questions WITH...

CALL

This week we chat with Bette Carre (Bette pronounced like Betty), who owns and operates Silver Linings, a thrift store in Chase.

Q • How did you get involved in the thrift business?

A I’ve always loved the thrill of the “hunt”. Looking for items for my own collections or getting the best deal possible. My husband, Kelly, also enjoys collecting.

When we found out about the storage auction world we thought it would be a possibility to continue our “hunting” and also provide stock for, what we thought would be, a needed business for Chase.

Q • What are the biggest challenges with running this type of business?

A • Trying to convince people not to drop items off at the store after hours. By the time I get

Your Local Realtor

to work I usually find the items picked through and spread all through my parking lot.

Q • What role do you think used/ second hand stores have in a community?

A • Most items that end up in my store have plenty of life left in them. Rather than having these items end up in the landfill they are cleaned and tested and then past on to a new owner at a greatly discounted price. It’s a win, win situation.... happy environment..... happy customer Q • What do you do for fun?

A • Fun? Dealing with the people of Chase is fun. I enjoy my job and the people I see every day.

by Carolyn Parks Mintz, Author, Journalist, Freelance Writer

“In the 19th century, religion, liquor and politics formed a triumvirate that alternately amused, stirred up or pacified the populace” – so said some historians in the past.

With tongue firmly in cheek, the gifted writer, Stephen Leacock, accurately summarized late 19th and early 20th century politics in small town and rural Ontario in “Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town” with the following: “Everybody in Mariposa is either a Liberal or a Conservative or else is both. Some of the people are or have been Liberals or Conservatives all their lives and are called dyed-in-the-wool. …. These people get from long training such swift penetrating insight into national issues that they can decide the most complicated question in four seconds. There are other people whose aim is to be broad-minded; and who vote Liberal or Conservative according to their judgment of the questions of the day. If their judgment tells them that there is something in it for them in voting (a certain way) then they do so. But the one thing that nobody is allowed to do in Mariposa is to have no politics!”

The political realm has long been tainted with the unsavory, whether it was by the vote-buying jug of whiskey in the east or the $2 bill in the west, as well as tinted with sometimes amusing rationale.

But in this day and age of education, media, website, Freedom of Information, and the ability to justify and conclude, it is sad that large swaths of the electorate have no interest in knowing the issues or in checking party records—and in the end, do not vote. The right to vote, the right to choose is something people have died for over hundreds of years—and still give their lives for today.

In addition to older Canadians, it was heartening to see young people, during the last fall’s election, rallying, attending campaign stops, and holding politicians’ feet to the fire to get answers. People do, indeed, get the government they deserve.

If citizens do not take time to get the details, do not educate themselves about what is good for Canada, do not vote, and do not keep track of what governments are doing, they could be throwing their country to the wolves.

It was once asked what societies could function WITHOUT—big media or big government? And the answer was “big

government.” The news was considered essential. Without the media, especially today’s instant visual, online and audio communication, governments would get away with … well, murder, literally and figuratively. Not to say that the populace should believe unthinkingly as gospel truth everything they hear and see—all the good, the bad and the ugly. Verifying the source and the facts is important.

Certainly, the media can be manipulated.

People must weigh the issues. Eventually, truth wins out. An enterprising reporter or journalist will dig deep, seek evidence—and broadcast it.

It appeared by the late 1970’s that television had turned elections into another media event. Candidates were being sold to us like soap and beer. And politics could be turned off with the flick of a switch. Democracy seemed to face real danger as a result of the media: the danger of judging candidates not as individuals seeking office on the basis of their programme or their character, but rather on the basis of their appeal as television personalities.

Nothing has changed since then. In fact, spin-doctors and marketing gurus have made things worse. However, it is up to citizenry to pay attention. Be less oblivious.

Stand up for what’s right. Demand better of those in power. The electorate is, in fact, the boss. They pay the taxes that pay the salaries of those in Ottawa. The politicians ought to answer to them—and not just at election time.

Voters should expect and demand the best of those in Parliament. Ottawa is a twilight zone, where issues are often fuzzy, the facts blurred, and spin rampant. The real world elsewhere is where life happens, where freedom must be preserved—freedom of expression, freedom of political bent, and freedom of belief.

Citizens are obligated to keep their representatives in touch with reality.

Canadians’ well-being, their rights, and their democracy depend on making politicians accountable.

All this being said, I agree with those who hope that politics does not become too serious and who think that we still need to laugh at and with our politicians and at ourselves.

A little comic relief would go a long way!

Walter Olav Neros

May 05, 1938 – Nov 1, 2016

Walter died peacefully at his home in Kamloops following a courageous eight year battle with Parkinson’s disease.

He will be forever loved and missed by his wife of 55 years, Diana, his two sons, David of Denny Island, Brad (Michel) of Walhachin and his daughter Holly of Kamloops.

Walter was born in Cumberland BC, the only child of Olav and Bessie Neros. He grew up in Royston, attending elementary school there and in Union Bay, then Courtenay High School. After graduation he returned for grade 13. His favourite subjects were recess, shop and sports. As Walter grew up, he followed in his father’s footsteps with his love for hunting, carpentry and fishing.

He and his father built a small boat for commercial fishing which he used on weekends and holidays in his teen years. He was also an avid baseball player.

In 1959, a family friend suggested that Walter might like a career with the BC Forest Service which he started that spring in Alert Bay. In 1960 he accepted a job as Assistant Ranger in Hazelton BC. It was a long way from home but he thought Hazelton might also offer him some decent hunting and fishing. For 12 years he worked first as an Assistant Ranger in Hazelton, Smith Inlet, Terrace, Kitwanga, and Dease Lake with 3 training sessions at Green Timbers Forestry Station in Surrey, then as Deputy Ranger in Terrace, Prince Rupert and Bella Coola. It was a happy day when he reached his goal of being a Forest Ranger in Kitwanga in 1972. In 1975 he moved to Chase as Forest Ranger, planning to stay there forever but when the office was closed and Forest Rangers disappeared into memory 5 years later, he moved to Salmon Arm Forest District, first as Resource Officer Engineering, then Operations Superintendent, and finally to Field Operations Supervisor from which he retired in 1994.

Walter was a confident, skilled, unhurried and patient person. He liked to build things and was also very good at fixing things. He loved a good card game, was an avid gardener and a skilled fisherman. He was a longtime member of the Chase and District Fish and Game Club and helped to run monthly Trap shoots as well as take part in them. He enjoyed camping as long as it was beside a fishing lake and liked to visit family and friends.

Due to his declining health, in 2014 Diana and Walter moved to Kamloops to be closer to medical facilities and to Holly.

Walter requested that there be no formal service. If you wish a donation can be made to a charity of your choice or you might simply remember him with a walk in the forest that he loved and spent 35 years of his life to help manage and protect.

It is with great sadness we share the passing of Marvin Bruce Routledge at the age of 50. Marvin was pre deceased by his parents D’Artheny Routledge and Grace Routledge. He leaves behind his sisters Wendy Johnson, nee Brad, Mollie Routledge and brothers Rod Harrison, nee Debby, Marty Harrison and many nieces and nephews Marvin was born in Jasper Alberta then moved to the Chase / Pritchard area in 1969 where he remained for the duration of his life. Marvin was fond of collecting things to fix and could find a use for just about anything. A free spirit at heart and a happy go lucky guy. Marvin was quick to smile and had a gentle soul. He will be greatly missed.

There will be a gathering of friends to say goodbye at the Pritchard Beach on Saturday November 12th at 1 pm

Jan. 8 1918 - Oct. 27 2016

It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Marjorie Keene at Salmon Arm hospital.

Marjorie was predeceased by her husband Lloyd in 2007.

She will be lovingly remembered by her three sons Jim (Julie), Doug (Mary), Bruce (Catharine), Daughter inlaw Dee, youngest sister Nora Dixon, and many Nieces, Nephews, Grand children, and Great Grand children as well as the residents and staff at Parkside in Chase where she resided for her final years.

Marjorie Stewart was born in Sedgewick Alberta. She later moved with her family to their new homestead at Last Lake near Brownvale Alberta. She attended Blue Hawk school and Peace River high school, and later graduating from the McTavish Business college in Edmonton.

She began her business career with the Alberta Dairy Pool in Hardisty, and later the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Berwyn and at various locations in Alberta, then on to Yellowknife where she met her future husband Lloyd. They were married in Edmonton on Sept. 30th 1947.

They resided for a short time in Victoria - where Jim was born, then White Rock and then on to 150 Mile House and Williams Lake where Doug and Bruce were born. They later moved to Dawson Creek, then retiring to Kamloops in 1978 where they spent many happy years on the river.

Mom and Dad downsized in 2005 - moving to Chase, where Mom spent the last 3 years at Parkside assisted living.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, November 12, 2016 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive. Should friends desire, a small donation in Marjorie’s name to the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society, or to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

from Revelstoke. Zak “Larceny” Larson was in net and stopped 28 of 32 to earn a W for the 300 fans in attendance.

No scoring in the 1st but in the 2nd Revelstoke came out flying and the biscuit was in the wrong basket in 30 seconds from the stick of Michael Lenoury on the PP. Local hockey product Cody Hodges got that back on the powerplay assisted

by Fidanza and Bourne. Then Fidanza gave Chase the lead from Bourne and Howlett on a beautiful three way passing play, a wow moment! GRIZZLIES got a spectacular shorthanded tally from Daniel Fisher and the game was tied at 2-2. However, Palaga on the powerplay from Pat Brady and Black had the fans relaxing for less then 3 minutes when Tyler Chavez Leech pounds a powerplay goal past Larson. The goal tap is still in full flow though as Fidanza restores the lead from Cam Watson and Fournier, and prior to the end of the 2nd Brady from Evan Hughes and Hodges makes it 5-3. 8 goals in 20 minutes and the fans are buzzing! In the 3rd Leech with his 2nd for Revelstoke creates a great deal of tension, but this one goes in the books as a hard earned 5-4 character building victory.

ADDITIONS & DELETIONS: Team Management has moved out Spencer Meyer, Sunil Sahota and Taylor Clark while bringing in 18 year old forward/ defenceman Jake Delorme from Jasper. Chase is #1 League wide on the powerplay, at home they are at 32.69%.

The team is 2nd overall in goals scored with 8 players with 5 or more goals, for a balanced attack.

Next up a rare Thursday home game encounter with the Sicamous Eagles.

It is Remembrance and Legion Night and a special moment will be observed.

Saturday the 12th finds the Summerland Steam in town at 7:00 pm. Please remember all the wonderful and brave people from the past that made our country of Canada the best in the world.
