The Land of the Secwepemc
Village of Chase NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Written by Kathryn Michel, Secwepemc Nation
PROPOSED VILLAGE of CHASE ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 831-2017
The Secwepemculecw, the land of the Secwepemc, covers a vast area encompassing approximately 55,000 square miles spreading across SouthCentral British Columbia. In 1909, ethnographer James Teit described the Secwepemc Nation as consisting of five major divisions each with a unique land base and dialect (p.462). The Sexqeltemc division included the following bands surrounding the Chase/Shuswap Lakes area: the Cstelnec, Sk’atsinec, and Qw’ewt. The language of the Secwepemc is called Secwepemctsin. It is one of 23 languages within the Salishan language family. The Secwepemc language has two main dialects called the Eastern (east of Kamloops), and the Western (west of PROPERTY Kamloops) withSUBJECT minor variations of rate of speech and vocabulary within each dialect grouping (School District 73, 2006). The social structure of the Secwepemc was largely egalitarian, in that social status was based on individual strengths and how each person could best contribute to group productivity and well-being. Celia Haig-Brown writes, Within the Secwepemc society existed all the complexities of a culture: government, religion, science, technology, acknowledgment and celebration of life passages, traditions, and oral history, which included a theory of origin. As with all cultures, language served as an expression of and for the transmission of culture. (1989) A key concept within the Secwepemc worldview is that of interrelationship or k’wseltktnéws. The late George Manuel in his book The Fourth World, shared that: The land from which our culture springs Legend

is like the water and the air, one and indivisible. The land is our Mother Earth. The animals who grow on that land are our spiritual brothers. We are part of that Creation that the Mother Earth brought forth. More complicated, more sophisticated than the other creatures, but no nearer to the Creator who infused us with life (p. 6). He further reinforced the importance of maintaining this connection: So long as there is a single thread that links us to the ways of our grandfathers, our lives are strong. However thin and delicate that thread may be, it will support the weight of a stronger cord that will tie us securely to the land. (p. 4) Although the value of k’wseltktnéws can be considered a foundational value of the Secwepemc, another value can be considered key to the maintenance of a strong Nation. The value of knucwestsut.s, or, “take care of yourself ” emphasizes the need for individual strengthening in maintaining healthy families. These values are reinforced through the oral tradition. The Secwepemc oral tradition has been used as a way to guide children into their roles in the community since ancient times. These stories called stsptekwle, share the dynamic adventures of the Trickster, Sek’lep (Coyote), and other magical Transformers. Stories help to create an interconnected ‘mind map’ that incorporate geographical features of land and their interrelationships between the plant and animal world. Today, these teachings and stories are still being shared at Chief Atahm School, a Secwepemc immersion school located on the Adams Lake Band reserve across the bridge from Chase.

We THANK YOU for your input!
Pauline Jones will be celebrating a milestone of a birthday this week; the Parkside resident will be turning 99 on February 2nd. Originally from a farm outside of Provost, a small Albertan town with a population of 2000, Pauline has lived in Chase for nearly 40 years. She moved here from Williams Lake with her late husband Bill Jones after he retired from the forest service. They settled into a home on Beach Drive. After Bill’s passing, Pauline lived in Sun Valley Estates for 13 years. A decade ago she made the move into the Parkside Community. Pauline, who partly credits her longevity to a positive outlook, has nothing but complimentary things to say about her home at Parkside. “This is ideal. It’s a very convenient, quiet location. I have my independence and they take very good care of us here. I am quite content here”, said Pauline. She has many friends in the community who she plays tile rummy with regularly. “We all get to know each other, we are all friends ”. In the past, Pauline was very involved in her Church, and her faith is very important to her. “I thank the Lord so many times a day for all the things he does” said Pauline. She considers herself to be very lucky to be in such good health at her age. Amazingly, she isn’t on any kind of medication, which is rare for someone closing in on 100 years old. Pauline grew up with four sisters and one brother on the farm where she remembers her dad used oxen to plow fields.
Her one remaining sister is 97, and even lives in her own house in Edmonton. They don’t travel to see each other, but the two sisters tune in to the religious program “The Hour of Power” on Sundays and watch “together” over the phone. She has many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her son and daughter, who live in Logan Lake, phone nearly every night to have a little chat. Growing up she dreamed of being a teacher. “I used to play teacher with my cousins all the time,” remembered Pauline. Unfortunately the nearest high school was 20 miles from the remote farm she grew up on and there were no relatives to live with closer to school, so she finished her education at the age of 13. She moved to Toronto when she was 20. She went to see a relative and ended up working in the housekeeping business. “It was very different. Toronto was a big city even then. I missed home and came back for visits, but it was a long trip, especially on the train,” said Pauline. She travelled a lot in the United States with her husband Bill. “I did like travelling. I never got to Norway though,” said Pauline, whose family heritage is Norwegian. Pauline has seen a lot of changes throughout her life, but she seems to take it all in stride, focusing on he good memories and good fortune. “The walker is the best invention for old people. And it’s wonderful that there are places like [Parkside] so we can be looked after so well,” said Pauline. Happy Birthday Pauline!

OK so what is this about Chase allowing golf carts on the main roads and cars are to slow down for them until it is safe to pass? Are we mad! We will be the laughing stock of the entire nation. Such absurdity, i mean, come on.! Having said all that, let’s dissect this preposterous PILOT project proposal. We are a democratic society so lets look at the pros and cons. On the pro side: 1. we reduce our carbon footprint provided they are electric. 2. we enable seniors who otherwise could not venture out to go shopping or just get some fresh air. 3. we may create more jobs related to
Know what? It pays to “advertise” (at least in the Sunflower)
There were 14 taxpayers at the January 30th Village Council Budget Meeting, which is about a 233% increase over the previous meeting, and that’s pretty good. With just under half of these people being newcomers to Chase suggests that the majority of our long term residents had business elsewhere. However the people who did come had some excellent questions and suggestions and the Financial Officer dealt with all of them. Now that doesn’t mean we have clear sailing to a balanced budget but the participation sure was a good start. Remember this is our tax dollars being spent on our behalf so this is important business for all of us.

Next Monday (Feb 6th @ 10:00am) is a “crunch meeting” where we see the amended figures and will probably get some good news and some bad news. Council won’t make any decisions yet, but they were obviously impressed by the input they did received. Thanks to the people who came out and I certainly invite them back to the next session. We have about 1128+ other resident taxpayers whose finances might be affected by these critical decisions, so I also invite any or all of them to come and have opportunity to shared their knowledge or experience and perhaps even gained a little further insight into what has already happened and why.

Third Budget Meeting Coming Up Submitted by Village of Chase Administration Wanted! Interested taxpayers to attend the February 6, 2017 Village of Chase 2017 Budget Meeting (Number 3) 10 a.m. Upstairs Chase Fire Hall 810 Okanagan Avenue 14 people attended the January 30, 2017 budget meeting – and they learned a lot! Currently the Village’s Sewer Fund is in good shape, and the Water Fund is moving in the right direction. But our General Fund is still operating at a deficit. Council will need to make some decisions about trimming in some areas, and setting an appropriate tax rate in 2017 to reduce the General Fund deficit. Council wants your input! Taxes affect all property owners in Chase, so your participation is very important to Council. And remember, while the Village collects taxes for the School District and the Thompson Nicola Regional District, the tax rate Council sets only applies to the municipal taxes we need to collect to provide services in our community.
On February 6, 2017 we will be discussing the Public Works and Fire Department operating budgets – a great chance to hear where money is spent in various areas including parks, roads, snowplowing, fire suppression and prevention, and training for firefighters. Council will also be reviewing the five year capital budget, with emphasis on 2017. Finally, Council will be discussing tax rates for 2017 municipal taxes. We invite public feedback, input, questions and concerns on any of the budget information provided to date. The full proposed budget that was discussed on January 30, 2017 is available to the public. You can email us at chase@chasebc.ca, you can write us at PO Box 440, Chase, BC V0E 1M0, and you can phone us at 250.679.3238. We also have a Facebook page “Village of Chase – Municipality” – you can provide comments on that page. Thank you!

Request for Proposals Youth Activity Strategic Plan The Village of Chase in cooperation with BC Healthy Communities, wants to develop a two year youth strategic plan to guide the Village in providing activities and opportunities for our youth. We are inviting proposals from individuals and organizations for the development of a made-in-Chase Youth Activity Strategic Plan. Currently there is an active Youth Action Committee made up of several community members and two Village Council members. Some groundwork has been done in preparation for a Strategic Plan including the completion of a youth environmental scan which revealed that there are limited services and programs specifically geared to the youth of our community. The outcome will be a “needs assessment” to ascertain what specific activities and programs will benefit the youth of Chase. For a full copy of the request for proposal please contact Joni Heinrich, CAO, Village of Chase via any of the following means: Email cao@chasebc.ca Mail to PO Box 440 Chase, BC, V0E 1M0 Fax to 250.679.3070 Attend in person to the Village Office at 826 Okanagan Avenue, Chase, BC Proposals will be accepted until 4:00 p.m., Friday, February 10, 2017. All proposals will be reviewed by the Youth Action Committee. The successful proponent as well as unsuccessful proponents will be notified in writing of the outcome of the submissions.

BRUYERE AND LARSON STAR FOR HEAT By Scott Koch by Scott Koch, Chase Heat
The duo of Chase HEAT goaltenders led the squad to a 5 point week. Nic Bruyere got the ball rolling with a superb performance on Wednesday the 25th in Kamloops versus the STORM. At the end of sixty minutes #31 had stopped 58 of 59 attempts to score by the Loops lads, leading the HEAT to a 2-1 victory. Michael Fidanza scored in the 1st from Cody Hodges. In the 2nd the STORM’s Garrett Ewert tied things up. In the 3rd Fidanza with his 2nd of the contest popped in the game winner from Josh Bourne and Hodges. On the heels of that performance the Chase crew headed to Revelstoke for a Friday night the 27th clash versus the GRIZZLIES. After letting the bears gain a 3 goal lead, Bruyere shut the door stopping 33 of 36 shots he faced. In the 1st the Stoke squad scored a pair from Jacob Bourchier and Raphael Bassot. In the 2nd David Lenzin made it 3-0. While short handed the HEAT’S Travis Beaubien and
THE
Kolten Moore played hot potato with the puck with Moore slipping the biscuit in the basket from close range. The comeback was on as Bourne scored a powerplay tally from Beaubien and Fidanza. In the 3rd Kaden Black tied the match from Spencer Farstad and Mason Palaga. Two periods of overtime solved absolutely nothing with the result being a 3-3 tie. Saturday night the 28th saw the seldom seen North Okanagan Knights play at the Art Holding Memorial Arena. Zak Larson led the way repelling 32 of 34 scoring chances by the visitors. Larson had to be good as his teammates had significant problems throughout the game shifting gears and using common sense. Inspite of that in the 1st Bourne scored from Fidanza and Ryan Okino. Then Beaubien got a nice powerplay tally from Moore and Fidanza. The KNIGHT’S Levi Harris kept his team close with a powerplay goal. In the 2nd there was no scoring. Moore scored on the powerplay in the 3rd from Beaubien

and Hodges. The visitors were awarded a penalty shot and Brady Marzocco made no mistake to make the game 3-2.
