Cops for Kids Ride Through
O
submitted by Chase Rotary Club
n Friday September 17th @ Noon the soaked,wet and tired "Cops for Kids" rode into Chase arriving @ Haldane Elementary for lunch. As we all experienced, this was not the most pleasant day for a 100 km bike ride. The Chase Rotary Club sponsored the event and was supported by Haldane, Subway (sandwiches), Safety Mart Foods (fruit and veggie tray plus, bottled water) and Rotarian Jacquie Everett's beef/ barley and squash soup. The RCMP are riding to fundraise money for kids and families who are experiencing medical challenges. The
Rotary Club donated $500 to their cause and a Pritchard young man, Cody Chase donated $200 he had personally raised. On arrival @ Haldane, Cody was leading the parade of riders through the downpour. Rotarians John and Debbie Durning helped the Club serve, set up chairs and tables and finished the cleanup. Usually the "Cops" interact with the students but due to Covid-19 they were unable to meet any students. The Rotary Club would like to thank the staff and Principal Colleen Topolovec for their hospitality and especially their washrooms.

News from First Nations by Carolyn Parks Mintz, Author & Journalist
Huge Response to the Call for Beaded Baby Moccasin Tops As the daughter of a residential school survivor, her father, Velma Olsen from the Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation in Mayo, Yukon, struggled to comprehend news of the 215 unmarked children’s graves found at the Kamloops Residential School, and wanted to do something to mark those tragic losses. In early June, Velma posted a message on Facebook asking fellow beaders (those who design beaded items) to send her baby moccasin tops for a special memorial to recognize and honour the deaths. Within a few days, Velma received 3,500 messages and comments. Baby moccasin tops, also known as vamps or uppers, measure approximately 2 inches by 3 inches (5 cm. by 7½ cm.). Creating a pair takes about one week for beginners and a much shorter time for experienced beaders. For Velma, art and cultural practices have been a healing process in dealing with the ongoing dreadful news about residential schools. And that is why she spent the summer sewing together a blanket incorporating over 400 beautiful moccasin uppers in memory of children who never made it home from those institutions—a project she called “For the Children Lost.” Hundreds of people from around the world have responded to Velma’s call. The lovely blanket, measuring 6½ feet by 6½ feet (2 metres by 2 metres) was presented to the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation on August 9th, when the Warriors Walk for Healing Nations ended its six-week trek from the Yukon to BC, honouring lost children and residential school survivors. Moccasin tops are still arriving, and Velma is designing a second blanket which will remain in the Yukon. kinSHIFT Programming kinSHIFT is a social enterprise of IndigenEYEZ, whose proceeds are invested directly into the growth of successful Indigenous youth empowerment and leadership development programmes. kinShift workshops and webinars are designed for those who wish to start or continue their journey to cultivate relationships with Indigenous peoples and places, and to help shift how participants feel, how they relate and how they act. Two fee-based workshop offerings are available this fall and winter: “Elements of Truth: Before Reconciliation” – for anyone with limited knowledge of Indigenous history and Truth & Reconciliation who wishes to start or continue their learning
journey. Four Zoom sessions are offered; participants can take all four or fewer. “Next Steps in ReconciliaACTION” – via Zoom, for those who have committed to at least two “Elements of Truth” workshops (or equivalent learning) and are ready to take the conversation to the next level with actionable steps in their organization or community. Registration is now open at https://kinshift. ca/workshops. Fee discounts are available when registering for all four “Elements of Truth” workshops or for a group of five or more who participate from one organization. “Elements of Truth” began in early September, but with alternative dates through the fall and winter. “Next Steps” four-week programme will be offered in November and March. ADAMS LAKE INDIAN BAND (ALIB) N’we Jinan Music Video The lyrical and poignant music video “Come Home,” featuring ALIB youth has been completed and is now available at https://nwejinan.com and on Facebook. And it’s beautiful—the young people, the message, the music and the scenery! The project definitely amplifies young Indigenous voices and sparks creative potential as well as artistic abilities—its main goals. Congratulations to all involved.

NATIONS NEWS
NESKONLITH INDIAN BAND From Chief Judy Wilson The unpredictable and unusually hot weather over the summer months led to many wildfires in the interior of BC. Emergency management teams had their hands full to prepare, to prevent, and to fulfill a coordinated attack against the wildfires. It is clear that there is a ‘permanent state of climate emergency’ that changes everything we do daily as well as our priorities. We have been putting out fires but not addressing the real issue causing them. This is essential to address. Tackling it must be dealt with at every level: individual, family, community, nation, regionally, provincially, countrywide and globally. Council extends thoughts and prayers to all those impacted by this summer’s wildfires. Secwepemc communities met in midAugust for emergency management planning and discussion of the unmarked graves discovered at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. A Nationwide plan will be developed to support survivors, families, communities, and the Nation in their healing journeys, as each community continues to be impacted by the heartbreaking truths of residential schools. Provincial Premier John Horgan has stated that the province is committed ‘to supporting the vital work by First Nations at all residential school sites in B.C.’ The Neskonlith Health & Wellness Department is reaching out to our members who attended residential schools for input and to lend support. Neskonlith residential school events or activities will be guided by
our members who attended such schools. Health & Wellness has hosted a number of cultural activities during the summer. To revitalize and capture traditional medicines, New Parallel Productions has been hired to produce a series of activities, which will share traditional ways. In early June, they produced a video featuring Elder Minnie Kenoras and others to teach the practice of picking sage. The Summer Solstice was marked on June 21st, with a teepee raising, a canoe journey, and a girls group coming-ofage ceremony. New Staff The Neskonlith Indian Band is pleased to welcome new administrative employees. Margaret Louie is now our Council Executive Assistant, bringing extensive experience and many skills. Troy Thomas, B.A., will be staffing the front desk in reception and administration roles, which will benefit from his additional talent as a storyteller-performer and writer. Community Water A Community Water meeting was held in July, attended by Neskonlith and Adams Lake members. Circle discussions centred on identifying the issues and finding solutions. A report with recommendations has been submitted to Council and will be shared with the community for further input. The Taking Care of the Water Committee will reconvene as the coordinating body and will follow up with subcommittees. Health & Wellness Neskonlith’s five-year
Health
designed to fit within the First Nation Health Authority’s strategy, is underway. A proposal for Prevention Funding for Health for the upcoming fiscal year is also in the works, which could include healing camps, youth/ elder activities, or a spiritual centre. Congratulations! To Salmon Arm cohort graduates of the Small Engine Repair Program: Terry Felix, Irwin David, Marlon Lee, Jody Leon, Paul Nicholas, Lloyd Purdaby, Bart Thomas, Brian Thomas, and Harvey Thomas. And to Chase Cohort graduates of the Small Engine Repair Program: Roy Adams, Jaleece Buffalo-Nepoose, Kyra Fortier, Tawny Fortier Jay Jules, Marlyece Sampson, Martin Tomma, Marya Wood and Roselie Wells.
Village of Chase Truth and Reconciliation Day The Village of Chase offices will be closed Thursday, September 30, 2021 in respect of Truth and Reconciliation Day (formerly known as orange shirt day).

(Garbage and recycling will be picked up as normal on September 30.)

Chase RCMP REPORT August – September 2021 submitted by Chase RCMP
CHAIR ASSAULT On August 20th, 2021 at 4:32 pm, Chase RCMP were advised of a possible stolen vehicle, parked on the road in front of a residence in Pritchard. The complainant was inexplicably verbally abusive to the call-taker – swearing and calling her names. Police attended and determined the vehicle was properly licensed and insured and was parked legally on the side of the road. The complainant was updated and spoken with regarding his abusive language to the civilian call-taker. The following morning, Chase RCMP received two complaints simultaneously after an incident at the same residence in Pritchard. The first complainant reported that an older male attempted to break into his house. The second complainant was the older male himself. He reported that he’d been hit in the face with a metal chair after knocking on a neighbour’s door. Police attended and observed that the older male had a gash on his face consistent with having been hit with a blunt object. The original complainant was arrested for assault with a weapon. The older male required an ambulance and was treated by paramedics. SCARY NOISE On August 24th, 2021 at 9:45 pm, Chase RCMP were dispatched to a residence on Pine Street. The complainant heard a loud noise outside and was too afraid to look. Police attended and looked. It appeared that someone had thrown a plastic stool at the front door of the house. While investigating this matter, Police located an intoxicated male sitting the driver’s seat of a vehicle parked nearby. The keys were in the ignition and the vehicle was
in gear. Breath samples were obtained from the male which indicated his ability to drive was impaired by alcohol. He was issued a 90-day prohibition from driving and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. The male began to cause a disturbance while his vehicle was being towed. He was arrested and lodged in cells for the night. Later the complainant’s friend attended the Chase RCMP Detachment and got mad at police for doing “nothing”. DOG PROBLEMS On August 25th, 2021 Chase RCMP were advised of a harassment complaint at an apartment building in Chase. The complainant reported that the neighbours were taking photos and videos of her daughter whenever she was outside the building, making them feel very uncomfortable. Police attended and spoke to the neighbours. The neighbours said they take pictures of the dog pooping because the daughter doesn’t pick up the dog poop. They were trying to collect evidence to prove to the landlord that this is an ongoing problem. On August 25th, 2021 at approximately noon, Chase RCMP were requested to assist at Tsutswecw Provincial Park. The complainant reported hearing someone yelling “help” for 10 minutes and was obviously concerned. The person was on a different trail in the forest and was out of sight. Police attended and located a female who said she was yelling at her dog because it took off, chasing a raft down the river. The complainant was later updated that all was well.

RCMP REPORT
On September 12th, 2021 at 2:00 pm, Chase RCMP were dispatched to a theft report in Pritchard. The complainant phoned 911, yelling that her two dogs were just stolen out of her back yard – by her son. The son phoned Police shortly thereafter and advised that he took the dogs because he believes the dogs were being mistreated by his mother. Police attended and the son agreed to return the dogs and pursue his concerns through the proper channels – by filing a report with the SPCA. LOST AND MISSING PEOPLE On August 20th, 2021 at approximately 9:00 pm, Chase RCMP were advised of a missing female at the Chase beach. Police were told that the female possibly jumped off the dock or off a boat and never resurfaced. Her sister was hysterical and other family members were on route in a panic. Police requested the Chase Fire Department and Search and Rescue assist in locating the female. However, shortly after Police arrived at the beach, the female was located safe and sound. She had gone for a “walk” with a friend, without telling her sister. After dealing with the family for approximately 30 minutes, Police were told that the entire family had recently tested positive for Covid.
On September 2nd, 2021 at 12:54 am, Chase RCMP were advised of a missing person in Sorrento. The complainant reported that her friend had been missing for the past 2 hours, after getting off the boat at the dock.
