First Trade Show a Big Success!
T
he first annual Shuswap Experience Trade Show in Chase was a great success, by all accounts. About 600 people walked through the doors of the Arena last Saturday, May 7th, to check out nearly 60 vendor booths of all kinds. There were draws to enter, samples to try, and information to gain. Many attendees, from all walks of life, had big smiles as they bounded around the arena trying out the special Kangoo boots that Terra Lundy uses for her fitness class. Pete Murray’s Corn Farm delighted kids with bottle feeding sessions of adorable lambs. “Based on the success of this event, I can see it will become a highly anticipated event in the future,” said Mayor Rick Berrigan, who thanked the Chamber of Commerce and its trade show committee Chase’s Retired Royalty Kylie Schmidt and for all it’s hard work in making the event Meghan Johnston, handed out gift bags to the happen. first 300 attendees.

District committed to special needs funding
Village of Chase
written by SD73 Trustee Kathleen Karpuk
Support for special needs students in schools is usually a topic of conversation every year when school district budgets are being set. As student enrollment drops, budgets decrease and there is increased pressure on supports and services being delivered to students. School District 73 has made an ongoing commitment during the past decade to preserve the levels of service to special needs students despite decreased budgets. Funding for student support is provided through two different sets of grants. The first is learning assistance for students with learning disabilities, mild intellectual disabilities, students requiring moderate behaviour supports and gifted students, which is included in the basic per student block grant. Services that are provided from the regular block funding include basic learning assistance, speech pathologists, school counsellors, hospital homebound services and assessment. A second, supplementary grant is provided for students who require more intensive support. Special needs students who require an Individual Education Plan (IEP) are those students who require more than a minor adaptation to educational materials, instruction or assessment; are not able to work on the prescribed learning outcomes of regular curriculum or who receive more than 25 hours of assistance in a year. Over the past decade in the district, the ratio of Learning Assistance Resource Teachers (LARTs) to students with special needs has remained constant, as has the ratio to overall numbers of students. On average there is one LART for every 185 students, which would include 16-17 special needs students. The number of Certified Education Assistants (CEAs) has increased over the past decade even as the student population has dropped. This year, 771 of 1,477 classes have a CEA assigned and 790 classes have one or fewer students with an IEP.
It is important to recognize that there is a broad range of special needs. An example is the category for chronic health conditions, which could include a Kindergarten child with Diabetes who requires help monitoring blood sugar or a child with cerebral palsy who needs continuous assistance. The district recognizes that every child is different and has processes in place to support students based on their individual needs. A student who needs more help, will get more help. The level of support a child receives also changes with their needs. That Kindergarten child with Diabetes who needs help monitoring blood sugar may not need the help once they get to high school and are managing their condition on their own. Kamloops is a larger school district and because of our size is able to provide services that smaller districts cannot. We have resource teachers for the visually and hearing impaired, as well as a mental health clinician and a drug and alcohol councillor. The city of Kamloops is also home to the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism. Kamloops is considered a regional hub and many families with special needs children move to the district in order to access services that cannot be provided elsewhere. Our district also provides resource rooms where students with severe impairments or behaviours are able to learn in an environment more suitable for their needs. As students move into the secondary school program, life skills and other modified classes are provided. Last year, the six year completion rate for special needs students in SD73 was 71.7% with those students receiving a Dogwood diploma. Twenty four per cent of special needs students who graduated in 2015 did so with an average of 80% or greater and received an honours designation from the province. This helps confirm the commitment the school district has made to support special needs students.

Walkers, Joggers, and Cyclists Well as spring has come upon us I see more walkers, joggers and cyclists out enjoying the warmer weather, so as a person that is concerned about people’s safety I felt it necessary to take the time to remind people of a few safety tips to remember when you’re enjoying your spring activities. Walkers and Joggers: Remember to walk facing oncoming traffic when walking on streets like VLA Road that have no sidewalks and traffic is flowing above the posted speed limits. It’s important to face traffic, so you can see if the vehicle heading in your direction sees you and is paying attention to you. Cyclists: Cyclists should be driving with traffic and should stay off of sidewalks as sidewalks are for foot traffic. Riding on sidewalks makes it difficult for vehicles to predict what your next move is. Learn your proper hand signals so you can let other traffic know in advance when you plan on changing lanes. This will help protect you and help avoid collisions. Last but not least WEAR A Helmet. The fact that it is law is a good reason but the other is that a head injury would be life changing. When you ask people why they don’t wear a Helmet they’ll tell you it messes their hair, they like the wind flowing through their hair or its make them look ugly, but if you’ve ever

met anyone that has had an accident and suffered a head injury and was not wearing a Helmet, I’m sure they would say “I wish I would have been wearing a Helmet”. We need to think about our parents, siblings, spouses and children when we make decisions, think of the impact it would have on their lives if something happened to you and tell your kids what life would be like without them when explaining why they should wear a Helmet. On that note enjoy your spring and summer activities and BE SAFE! Randy Trowsse, Chase

Two friends are talking, one says: “Man, I fell off a thirty-foot ladder yesterday.” “Oh no, are you alright?!” inquires the other one. “Yeah, I’m OK, I was only on the second rung then.”
A nice old lady on a bus offers the driver some peanuts. He take some and, munching, asks her why she isn’t having any herself. “Oh, young man,” she says, “they’re too hard on my poor teeth, I couldn’t.” “Why buy them at all then?” wonders the driver. “You see, I just love the chocolate they’re covered in!”

For the first time, Chase Lions Club sponsored the Hallowe’en Fireworks $500.00 (‘76) at the Government wharf. It cost $1,400 in October of 1982. However, every youngster who came in a costume would receive a free hot dog and a pop plus the sale to the general public. This was continued for a number of years till the pyrotechnics became too expensive. It was discontinued in 1985 and replaced with a children’s costume party at the Hall and has continued as YES! - We can repair your old bike! Community an annual activity.

An $800 donation was made to Chase Secondary for the purchase of a basketball score clock on behalf of our honorary member, Henry Grube. 31 smoke detectors were purchased and installed at Ilahee Lodge units by the Lions for $828 (February ‘78), later a Bingo set was donated. An application was submitted for the Second Avenue improvement project involving an estimated 7 students, one foreman and a budget of $9,000 over a period of 8 weeks. Unfortunately the application was turned down (April ‘78). A workparty was organized for the construction of a sundeck for a shut-in. This included rails, stairs, flooring, surfacing and painting (June ‘78). In subsequent years, a number of wheelchair ramps or entrance modifications have been either built or financed by the Chase Lions. The Chase Lions continued to be busy; Well Woman’s Clinic, Rape Prevention Clinic, a benefit dance, and a blood donor clinic was sponsored; donated to the Kidney Foundation, trophy for Haldane School; sold 2,319 Lucky Leo tickets; operated the Canoe Regatta concession ($304.81); and had time for a Lions Picnic and all the other ongoing annual activities. The years 1978 through 1980, aside with continuing with established projects and activities, new ideas were always considered. Here is a list of some: sponsored the “Vi I of Life” program in Chase and Pritchard; organ donor card distribution was continued for several years; purchased and installed playground equipment at the Chase Park (SummerFall ‘79); a school bus was purchased, modified and upgraded (Spring ‘80). It was transferred to the Chase Secondary School Students Council in the spring of ‘81 (May); accident, liability and loss insurance as we have it now was introduced and adopted January 22/79. Some changes have been made but the original intent remained the same. The sponsorship of Air Cadets was undertaken (January ‘79) and continued for a few years. The Club pledged $2,000 in support of a Low Vision Clinic in Kelowna, a District D project. More Lions Club History to be continued...
