What is the heart of any small town if not the old hall? The Chase Community

Hall is no exception, with its wood floors and high ceilings used nearly every night of the week for activities from square dancing to archery practice to craft sales.

It has a lot of history and has seen a lot of use. The current stove is nearly 25 year old and has cooked for many events including weddings and funerals, meetings and dances.

With all this use the stove has become unreliable and in need of replacement.

“It’s time to retire the old girl!” said Bev Iglesias, who volunteers in the kitchen often for different events.

The floor in the kitchen has been worn through and also needs replacing.

Iglesias is one of the women

spearheading this effort through a pie and coffee fundraiser.

The group invites you buy a ticket for a piece of pie with coffee or tea for $20.00 and come to the unveiling of the new floor and stove on May 3rd in the Community Hall Basement between 1:00 and 8:00 pm. Your choice of Apple, Coconut Cream or Lemon Meringue. Support the cause with a whole pie for $100.

This fundraiser is just another chapter in the Halls’ history; the current hall was built in 1951 largely by volunteers. According to an undated article found in the Chase Museum, the hall was formally opened on May 24, 1952 with a “spectacular dance attended by over 1000 people”!

Word Search - HAPPINESS, EQUALITY, POETRY... & SparrowsHard to chose just one theme when World Poetry Day, The International Day of Hap-piness, World Sparrow Day AND Interna-tional Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination are all clustered together (March 20 & 21)! So here is a mash up of all the above. Onomatopoeias are words whose sounds suggest their meaning. Example: Buzz. Sparrows are a family of small passerine birds, which includes more than half of all bird species. A nota-ble feature of passerines is the arrange-ment of their toes (three pointing forward and one back) which facilitates perching. Assonance - two words in the same line having similar vowel sounds. Ex. The owl flew out of the room.

In the sixties the Hall was managed by the Chase Women’s Institute, an organization affiliated with the Department of Agriculture who did not have to pay taxes. This group of women managed the hall with excellent catering services, banquets, and dances until it was turned over the Village of Chase.

In 1990 a major refurbish of the hall took place, and although many items

have changed since the upgrades of 1990-91, the stove in the kitchen is now nearing 25 years old.

Now the current day group of local women is looking for your support; “IT’S TIME FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PULL TOGETHER”.

You must get your tickets in advance by calling: Beverley Iglesias - 250-371-7136.

BOOK REVIEWby Annelise Grube-Cavers

Set in Siberia’s isolated taiga – a distinct sub-arctic jungle – this book follows one of the remaining Amur tigers. It’s non-fiction with a strong narrative, that of a tiger who kills and eats humans, and the search for that tiger. Blending the various accounts of locals, hunters and tiger-specialists, John Vaillant includes facts about the cultural meaning of tigers, and how they are both feared and revered. He tells of historic hunts, the tigers’ brush with extinction, and their role in the ecology, and economy,

of current times. This is a good book, although I found

that there was too much emphasis on the emotional and cognitive processes experienced by the man-eating tiger. Maybe this is just another way in which tigers are being revered, but to me it seemed to border on fiction.

A good book, by a great author, if you want to learn more about the taiga, look up the documentary called Happy People.

At this time of year the seeds are planted for the building of the next season’s lineup.

AHMA and the arena will be humming with preseason hockey related activities.Till then this space may tell you the tale

of the coyote chased beautiful pheasant at Pittendreigh’s and who actually owns it…or encourages you to buy early bird (no pun intended) season tickets for 2015-16.

Let’s start with a brief history re-view. Decades ago, before Person-al Computers, in the days of the corporate mainframe, everything was stored in a central system and accessed by employees through ‘dumb’ terminals over a network. Important business information was kept safe, secure and up to date. Bring back memories anyone? Enter the Personal Computer in the 80’s and suddenly it became possible for programs and files to be stored locally, freeing us up from the need to be connected to the ‘mothership’ in order to access our data. Everyone in the office had their own PC with their own programs and data stored on their own hard drive. That was great but it wasn’t long before the business world realized this strategy creat-ed all kinds of issues around data integrity, data security and data backup. No-one knew where the most current version of a docu-ment resided, confidential compa-ny data was easily stolen and PC’s were crashing without any backups in place. So, companies quickly reverted to a model where users would manage their own files but critical company data would go back to being stored centrally and accessed as needed over the cor-porate network. Safe, secure, up to date and accessible to all. Jump to modern times and the proliferation of the Internet. Sud-denly we are all connected in one big network called the World Wide Web. Now some of the benefits of central storage can be enjoyed by the general population. It wasn’t long before Internet companies began installing huge amounts of storage and offering users their own space. It started with email (e.g. Gmail from Google and hotmail from Microsoft). Eventually, other online storage services started to appear (e.g. Flickr for storing and sharing pictures), most of which were offered at no charge. Enter

the 21st century and the explosive growth in the numbers of internet users and Internet capable devices. Now, almost everyone is connected and there is some real opportuni-ty for Internet companies hoping to lure us into actually paying for the ability to store our personal data online on their servers. First though, the Internet was given a new, sexier name, “The Cloud”, and major companies like Microsoft, Google and Apple are all working hard to sign us up to their services. Some of the big names in the online storage game are Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Apple iCloud but there are many . The real value of these systems? Multiple computers can automat-ically, magically stay in sync over the Internet. So if you take a photo on your iPhone for example, it can be automatically copied to your laptop PC at home, creating an in-stant backup. Or, you may want to show your new friends in Mexico the pictures of your dog stored on your desktop computer at home. No problem, as long as you have Internet access. Is it safe? Given the amount of data that's already winging its way into that mysterious tech cloud, it might be too late to ask that ques-tion, but I think the privacy of your cloud data is more dependent on the individual companies than the Internet itself. You can bet the big players are doing everything pos-sible to keep your data safe and secure. Regardless, it is a given that someone in those organiza-tions will have access to any data you choose to store out there. My recommendation would be that if you choose to use these services, I wouldn’t be storing your bank-ing info out there just yet, but for non-confidential data, there is some real value to the possibilities these cloud services can offer us now and in the future. Give it a try. Almost all have free trials available.
