Chase Sunflower: March 6th Edition

Last weekend, seven local farm-ers made their way to Chilliwack for the annual conference of the

Certified Organic Associations of BC – the umbrella organi-zation that represents the organic sector in BC. Farmers from Roots Up Vegetable Farm & Golden Ears Farm, both in Chase, and Crannog Ales from Sorrento at-tended this year.

It was a record-set-ting conference be-ing the first one to sell out in advance, have the highest number of attend-ees, and the silent auction brought in twice what it usually does. Saturday was the busiest day with 185 people join-ing together to hear the Keynote talk by Sara Dent, Coordinator for the Young Agrarians. Young Agrarians endeavours to connect new farmers with each other, network new farmers with elder farmers, and connect landowners with those who are seeking land to farm on.

Based on buzz from hallway conver-sations, standout sessions covered top-

ics such as farming potatoes as a family, permaculture potential on farms, health benefits of organic beef, pasture manage-ment (the theme this year was livestock)

and pest manage-ment in tree fruit, garlic, and wire-worm control. In-terestingly enough, Weaving an Indige-nous Narrative Into the Movement To-wards a More Sus-tainable Land and Food System, which was co-presented by Sonny McHalsie and Dawn Morri-son stirred such a response from audi-ence members that a follow-up gathering

has been organized to continue the dis-cussion. Conference goers were pleas-antly surprised when Sto’lo Elder, Eddie Gardner offered both opening and closing re-marks, as well as shar-ing two songs with the group. The words that he shared were poi-gnant and humorous.

The Sunflower reserves the right to edit or omit copy. Letters must be sent with a name, address and contact phone number. Must be legibly written!

Re: Letter, ‘Indian Act Discriminates’ A correspondent is shocked to see discrimi-nation around her in Canada, including the Government of Canada’s legislation which aids in the two solitudes existing.I am saddened by it, and partly because it exists by “importation” from Europe many years ago, largely by the very people who were themselves discriminated against in their old countries.One of those countries is Finland, where the Finnish people and Government continue to discriminate against the indigenous people, and it is to be hoped that there is an equal expression of empathy for the Lapps. In fact, wouldn’t it be ideal if all dominant cultures of the world were to actually “do” something instead of endlessly discussing it, and renounce discrimination once and for all. Why, it just might also end a lot of wars. Dick BarnesAdams Lake

Community Connections I would like to thank you for the work you have put into the community and the Sunflower.If there was something I would like to see in the Sunflower, it would be community news. We live on the TransCanada and while there are always accidents we never hear about them. We rarely hear about who in our Village has passed away or perhaps someone who needs help. It would be nice to hear when a couple get engaged or married. I guess I see these as things that could bring about community.Marney Burchill

The month of March was named for Mars, the Roman god of war who was also regarded as a guardian of agriculture. In Finnish, the month is Maaliskuu, which relates to the earth becoming visible under the snow. Historical names include Lentmonat, derived from “long day”. Early Britons called it Hyld-monath (“loud and stormy month). In Slovene, the traditional name is Sušec, meaning the month when the earth becomes dry enough to cultivate it. Breznik is “the month of birches. Astronomically, the beginning of spring is determined by the vernal equinox (March 20th this year). “Vernal” is from the Latin “vernalis,” meaning “of the spring.”

Golf Course ConfusionThere appears to be some confusion re-

garding how the local golf course was pur-chased. Let me try and fill in the historical facts so this confusion can be set aside.Prior to 2005 the course was owned by a

local family who then sold it to a develop-er who said that the community should not worry about their intentions with the statement; “ that they would always keep it as a golf course.” That statement proved to be false. The uproar in the community was heard very loud and clear. The question was “how can we stop the developer from de-stroying the golf course?”

PLANT OF THEWEEK by Libby Jay Chisholm

MULLEINVerbascum thapsus, commonly known as mullein, is native to Europe and Asia and is a common plant in the Shuswap. It is a fuzzy plant that can be found in disturbed areas at mid to low elevations, and its roots, leaves and flowers each have medicinal properties. It was traditionally used by many First Nations in smoking mixtures to soothe inflamed or in-fected lungs. It is also used as a remedy for colds, coughs, and digestion.

Council met February 20, 2015 for the first round of budget discussions. Members of the public were given the opportunity to ask questions and share any concerns. The next meeting (set for March 6, 2015) has been cancelled. A letter has been sent to the Minister

responsible for Canada Post outlining Council’s concerns about the recent reduction in services and the need to engage citizens more fully when making these types of decisions. The Village of Chase joins with many other communities across the country in expressing their concerns on this issue.Councillor David Lepsoe, Village of Chase

Historian, will be leading a tour for Village of Chase Council, staff and interested members of the public on Tuesday, March 17th at 4:00 p.m. The tour will start at the intersection of Coburn & Shuswap and

should take about 45 minutes – 1 hour so wear appropriate shoes and clothing.Council recently increased burning

permit fees as they had not been revised since 2006! In order to continue funding our volunteer fire department, we need to ensure equipment is kept up to date and in good working order. We took ownership of a new pumper truck just this week at a cost of just under $200,000 which will be valuable in responding to fire events. This Council is very aware that increases

have not been occurring on a regular basis and want to ensure they review all revenue streams in order to be fiscally responsible. As small increases have not been taking place over the past several years Council has to make uncomfortable decisions to align the fees with constantly increasing costs.Tammi Pretty is the Deputy Corporate

Officer for the Village of Chase.

Earlier this year the Village of Chase decided to enter into an agreement with BC Hydro for the installation of a Level 2 Electric Vehicle fast charging station. At the most recent Committee of the Whole meeting (March 3rd) they decided on the location; it will be located near the Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Information Centre. The installation will be funded by BC

Hydro and the agreement will last two years with an audit of usage to be performed at the end of that period. Other proposed locations were Downtown

at Coburn and Shuswap or in the Safety Mart Plaza. The Visitor Centre location was chosen for a number of factors including access to Wi-Fi, public washrooms, tourist info, and ample lighting

SODUKO PUZZLEThe objective of the puzzle is to put the numbers 1-9 in every row, column, and 3x3 square block without repeating.

We can’t leave without talking about the food at the conference! 75% of it came from local BC organic growers, including chick-en, lamb, and beef. In total, approximately 90% of the food for the entire weekend was donated by growers, producers, and dis-tributors who supply the food chain with organic vegetables, fruit, dairy, meat, juice, beer, wine, liquor, baked and dry goods.

What a feast it was! All in all, folks depart-ed from the conference inspired with new ideas and energized by the meaningful connections they had made – many, many farmers are now fanning out across the province to put these ideas into practice.

Michelle Tsutsumi was the COABC Con-ference Coordinator and is a farmer at Gold-en Ears Farm.

The answer was not simple. Prior to the de-veloper purchasing the course it was offered to the Village as well as the membership; nei-ther stepped up to the plate. Meanwhile the developer subdivided the lower 3 holes off the course and sold those lands to another de-veloper who still own the best 3 holes of the course.Enter The Recreation Society. After much

discussion within the Society a plan started to formulate; what if the society could convince enough people to loan the Society money and that the Society might be in a position to pur-chase the course. The Society asked for advice from both expert accountants and lawyers as to how they could proceed. The advice was very clear, any loan to the Society would have to be unsecured with no guarantee the money would ever be paid back to the loan holder. Knowing that, 52 people loaned the Society $10,000 each (some even made their loans in the form of an outright donations).With this commitment the Society entered

into an agreement to purchase the golf course, however, the Society also understood that it needed a third party to act as a guarantor to secure a loan from a bank to complete the purchase. Securing a guarantor was not a fac-tor (many private people offered their com-mitment, knowing the value of the land) the problem was to secure a guarantor that would not have private interests.Enter the Village. It should be remembered

that had the Society accepted a private guar-antor the Village would not have been in-volved at all. With that said it was the wish of the Society to have public involvement so that the community would feel ownership of the course.Some years have passed and today we as a

community can thank those who had the abil-ity and foresight to see the importance of the golf course remaining a very valuable part of our Village and they should be given a thank you for their unselfish contributions.Respectfully submitted, Ron Anderson

BOOK REVIEWby Annelise Grube-Cavers

The author of this book grew up in the Shuswap and was raised with stories of the surrounding hills. As a local she describes the life of farmers through her protagonist, Beth, and some of the struggles faced by rural communities. The story follows the coming of age of the young girl, her own challenges within family and community, and how she ultimately finds her own way.

Despite the difficulties faced there

is a magic in this book that can only be passed on through family, and a strength that comes partly from within and partly is learnt from others. Written by a masterful story teller, this book is heavy at times and hopeful at others. Coming from our beautiful local landscape I really recommend it.

Do you have any suggestions or requests? Email the Sunflower and I would be happy to read what you send.

The entire Chase HEAT Hockey Club Organization raise their sticks and salute with tremendous thanks

the supportive fans, sponsors and donors who by our estimation are the best!

The 2014-15 Hockey Season was one in which the KIJHL Franchise took another step in it’s development to become a championship entity both on and off ice. The young men who are recruited and choose the HEAT learn “Chase” values of hard work, perseverance, teamwork and respect. Each year from beginning to end the rough edges are shaved off, the attitudes are adjusted, the common goal is understood and fine young men are developed. It is not always easy, but the professional staff led by GM/Head Coach Brad Fox work relentlessly from start to finish to make each individual a better player, team mate and citizen. The players in turn provide thrills, chills and daring do on the ice and community spirit and involvement off the ice. From small town Little Fort to big

city Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton the away from home youngsters develop into successful participants in the game of life! This year’s roster has been exceptional while overcoming adversity, injury and sickness. It has been amazing what has been thrown at the players, how they have responded and their’s and the staff ’s commitment to persevere and seek success.

This season’s squad fell short of their goal in a game of seconds and inches, but, they are stronger from the experience. There is of

course next year, and another shot at development and team success.

ICE CHIPS: Two very fine 20 year old veterans have graduated from Junior Hockey. Captain Kaleb “Boyler”

Boyle was the Division’s Most Valuable Player and the all-time KIJHL Power Play goal scorer. Michael “Stretch” Byer was the Doug Birk’s Division top Goaltender. Both exceptional young men are products of the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association.

Their leadership and commitment to excellence was greatly appreciated throughout the past two seasons!

Year End Banquet & Awards Night is Saturday, March 7th at 6 pm at the Adams Lake Recreation Centre. For tickets contact [email protected] or 778-220-6955.
