Indigenous history and scientific research come together at inaugural Shuswap Salmon Symposium submitted by Adams River Salmon Society

The dominant Adams River salmon run is F Uthe L L setting C O L O for U R the first symposium of Indigenous and scientific communities to discuss the past, present and future of wild Pacific salmon from an interior BC perspective, on Sunday, Sept.

30, and Monday, Oct. 1.

Tickets are still available for conservationists, Indigenous community m e m b e r s , scientists, academics or general public interested in attending the two-day event at Quaaout Lodge on Little Shuswap Lake, near Tsútswecw Provincial Park (being renamed from Roderick Haig-Brown).

The symposium is being organized by The Adams River Salmon Society and Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band and includes a special one-time, single screen public presentation of edited sequences from Nettie Wild’s UNINTERRUPTED. While people and communities have benefitted and relied on salmon historically, there are questions arising about its sustainability. The Shuswap Salmon Symposium is designed to bring people together who have an interest in these questions to share knowledge about how we benefit from the salmon, changes we may be witnessing in our communities, and whether we are acting effectively to manage and co-exist with wild Pacific salmon. Indigenous knowledge will be shared alongside scientific knowledge about how the salmon are being managed today.

The Shuswap Salmon Symposium is designed to respect various perspectives toward creating a dialogue moving forward.

Symposium delegates will be exposed to a range and diversity of knowledge to inform how to sustain the salmon population, for its own survival and for the ongoing benefit to our people

To the Citizens of Chase:

At the present time, I am attending the UBCM Convention, with the rest of Village Council, and I wish to report to you that it is a very inspiring experience.

The workshops are very informative, and of interest and assistance to all municipalities looking for ways to improve services to residents.

I am personally motivated by the possibility for continued progress within our Village, which will become evident in the coming weeks months and years.

Recently, I announced my intention to retire from politics, and after further discussion with my family, they reminded me of why I ran in the first place, ten years ago.

Being here, at UBCM, with the rest of Council, has reinvigorated me, and I feel I have much more to give to the Village, and the TNRD. There are going to be many significant changes to the community in the coming years, such as the Trans Canada Highway improvements. I am very concerned that the needs of our community are met on this project.

It is for this reason that I am retracting my previous announcement, and I am now declaring that I will be submitting nomination papers to be considered for re-election as your Mayor in the upcoming Municipal Election.

Proportional Rep. Most of our everyday world runs on one person, one vote, which is proportional representation (PR). How so?

When union members vote on a new contract, the person with high seniority and the person fresh out of school each get one equally-weighted vote.

When teachers vote on a new contract, the ballot from the teacher nearing retirement carries the same weight as the on-call teacher looking for their first full-time contract. The same

More on UBCM

In the last Sunflower my comments were truncated due to limits of space. I wish to reiterate my response, in full, as I think it all was thoughtful and worth saying.

Your complainant had her say, I would request that I have mine. My entire response is here: UBCM is a most important provincial collection of all elected officials within the Province, that effect change, promote and encourage new directions, and meet to discuss on-going issues that effect our communities, both collectively and individually.

After four years of presiding over a community, each councillor and Mayor have

goes for every professional association and trade union.

There is no skewing the votes. No sub-group receives 39% of the votes and magically gets 54% of the decision-making, giving them 100% of the power, the exact skewing we regularly see in our FPTP elections.

Why do we accept this voodoo magic in our most important forum, our elected governments??

We don’t have to and I’m tired of it. Vote for PR this fall.

Tom Rankin, Kamloops

the right, and obligation, to continue their work to the end of their term. This includes the meetings with senior provincial officials who have ultimate jurisdiction over changes that will affect the community beyond our term.

It would be irresponsible for current council to push such a meeting on to an in-coming council, who have yet to have involved themselves enough to understand both the nuances of the historical negotiations together with the agreements in place.

We do not take our role lightly, even if we are not running again.

Chase invited to take a Coffee Break to support local dementia services

submitted by Alzheimer Society of B.C. September is World Alzheimer’s Month and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is inviting Chase residents to bring their friends, coworkers or customers together throughout the month – or in October – by hosting a Coffee Break® fundraiser.

Funds raised at the events will help support local programs and services for people affected by dementia, as well as enabling research into the causes of and cure for dementia.

Hosting a Coffee Break® event is as simple as offering a cup of coffee, tea or other treat in exchange for a donation. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. makes it easy by sending hosts a complimentary kit with everything they need to get started – including the coffee.

Hosts then pick their date, decide where they would like to hold their Coffee Break®, and invite their network.

“A recipe for an outstanding Coffee Break® is an enthusiastic host, some creativity and a supportive community,” says Cathryn France, director of resource development at the Alzheimer Society of B.C. Coffee Break® events are unique because hosts can make them exactly what they want them to be. Not a fan of coffee? Serve tea, milkshakes or wine. Hosts can also bake treats and organize games to boost their fundraising.

Local businesses can show their support in two ways: by hosting a Coffee Break® for their staff and customers, or by asking the Society for a Forget Me Not flower kit.

This complimentary kit includes Forget Me Not flower cardboard cut-outs that will help businesses raise funds and awareness.

Merchants can add the flower’s UPC code to inventory and invite customers to exchange a flower for a donation.

Funds raised at Coffee Break® events will support local programs and services for people affected by dementia, as well as enabling research into the causes of and cure for dementia. The public awareness generated by these events will also help build a dementia-friendly society: a place where people affected by dementia are acknowledged, included and supported.

To learn more or to register to host a Coffee Break®, visit coffeebreakbc.ca or contact Glen Mountfield at gmountfield@alzheimerbc.org or 604-742-4948.

Long Time School Trustee Retires submitted by Denise Harper

Letter to the community: It is with some sadness that I announce I will not be seeking reelection on October 20th. I am stepping down after spending 19 of the past 25 years representing TNRD areas L & P plus the Village of Chase on the Kamloops/Thompson Board of Education.

This decision is not easy, but this is the right time. From the first day to the last, I have loved every moment of my trusteeship and am so grateful to the citizens of Chase for allowing me to serve them.

As a strong supporter of public education, I have worked hard during the past 25 years to ensure students have their learning needs met. It has been both a privilege and an honour to be your voice at the board table.

In particular, I would like to thank parents for entrusting me with your children’s educational future. It was

a responsibility I never viewed lightly.

I am also grateful to the remarkable people who work in our schools. Our principals, teachers and support staff each contribute to support student education. As a result, a lot of amazing learning is happening in our schools today.

Leaving is made easier by the fact there are least two people who share my passion for our students who have put their names forward to run in the October 20th election. Chase has enjoyed very strong representation on the Board of Education for many years and I am confident this will continue.

Please take the time to learn about the candidates for school trustee and the VOTE on October 20th.

Sincerely, Denise Harper, Trustee Kamloops/Thompson Board of Education

THANK YOU! Thank you to all the businesses that contributed to the Chase Rotary 15th Annual Golf Tournament that took place on Saturday, September 8th. We had 15 teams participate and provided a donation to the Chase Literacy Program. Chase businesses are awesome!!

HEAT ACQUIRE AN EXPERIENCED DUO OF DEFENCEMEN The Regular KIJHL Season is off to the races, and the rookie laden Chase HEAT got Game 1 done and over with. Saturday, September 8th the Kelowna CHIEFS rode into town to face off against the locals.

310 hockey craving fans watched the season kickoff.

In the 1st period the Okanagan crew got a powerplay goal to take a 1-0 lead. In the 2nd the HEAT turned the tables with a pair.

Local shinny star Gavin Mattey from Bryant Joseph and Brandon Gremaud tied the match up. Then newly appointed Assistant Captain Evan Hughes scored on the man advantage from Quinn Slezak and Brett Alexander. However, the CHIEFS tied things up with 47 seconds left. During the 3rd period

submitted by Scott Koch

the locals went through a 10 second lapse and that was enough for Kelowna to take a 2 goal lead. They finished off the night with an empty net tally to take a 5-2 road win home to the Okanagan. The CHIEFS with their veteran laden roster, are an early season prediction to vie for the League championship. The HEAT kept up with them through drive and hardwork except for the one momentary lapse.

The HEAT leadership group has been announced with Cam Watson appointed Captain. His Assistants are Evan Hughes, Ty Collens and Brett Alexander.

The roster has room for 3-5 additions and with that in mind the franchise acquired 2 veteran defencemen in two separate

trades. Coming from the Osoyoos COYOTES is 5th year stalwart Cody Allen a 20 year old Adams Lake lad with a boatload of experience.

From the Kelowna CHIEFS 3rd year veteran Brendan Laing will shore up the backend. Laing is an 18 year old Kelowna native and was just released from Junior A tryouts in Saskatchewan. Both players are over 6 feet and 200 plus pounders.

Next home game at the Art Holding Memorial Arena is Saturday the 15th versus the Summerland Steam.

The HEAT will be participating in the Terry Fox Run on Sunday the 16th. Come join your HEAT at either event and meet this year’s edition of the hottest product on the coolest ice.
