...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass In Doug Griffith’s book, 13 Ways to Kill a Community, he says attitude is the biggest factor to building a successful community. In one of his speaking engagements, he explained that he used to be a rancher and a middle school teacher in rural Alberta. He became an Alberta MLA for four terms, including as Minister of Municipal Affairs. From travels around the province, he saw communities focussed on making decisions day to day instead of for the future, sabotaging long term success. Here is his list to kill a community. 1. Don’t have quality water. If water quality and quantity in a community is bad, the community is probably in sharp decline with businesses closing and empty houses for sale. Without good water, people will go elsewhere. 2. Don’t attract business. Some businesses in small communities think they will be more successful if there is no competition, but often find they have a monopoly on failure. People like variety and choices and are willing to drive an hour or more to get what they are looking for. Successful communities understand that businesses create jobs and expand the tax base. 3. Ignore your youth. The key to success is to encourage youth to go explore and do new things and then encourage them to come back. Instead of constantly talking about how there is no hope and no future, we need boomerang strategies to bring them back. 4. Deceive yourself about your real needs or values. Taking a critical look at the community needs and then plan step by step how to meet these needs; find out what makes you unique and creative ways to use them to the community’s advantage. 5. Shop elsewhere. Every dollar spent locally is spent again by seven people. If it goes to another community, it is gone. To fail, don’t give local consumers a reason to shop local, give poor service, don’t keep the business clean and attractive, high prices, put the guilt trip on customers for not buying locally and bad mouth other businesses. 6. Don’t paint. It’s human nature to be drawn to attractiveness, whether aes-

thetically pleasing people or places. There is no civic pride in an ugly community and it will not attract newcomers. 7. Don’t cooperate. An essential requirement of all human relationships is cooperation, whether it be with other people, municipalities, organizations or businesses. It’s amazing what happens when you find a group to cooperate with. 8. Live in the past. People who are opposed to anything new coming to the community, usually the most vocal in meetings, are very skilled at sucking the energy out of creative, forward thinkers. They much prefer arguing about failures than seeking out solutions for the future. 9. Ignore your seniors. Successful communities realize that seniors are the foundation of a community, the ones who volunteer and contribute to the overall economy of the community. They don’t just keep their seniors, they attract others. 10. Reject everything new. Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result. Communities that seek out new ideas and try new things, discover a whole new world of opportunities. 11. Ignore outsiders. These people have chosen to make a new life in the community. Successful communities recognize the benefits of diversity, new skills, and the newcomer’s willingness to invest in their new community. 12. Become complacent. Successful communities are not afraid to take risks and embrace change. By being creative and taking on a ‘can do’ attitude, they find that one success leads to another and another. 13. Don’t take responsibility. Lack of housing and financial resources, declining volunteerism, high taxes, increased vandalism, people moving to larger centres, are always someone else’s fault. Positive thinking people see problems as an opportunity to make changes, develop new skills, make money, meet new people and create new partnerships. In our North Shuswap communities, we are seeing positive changes from positive people trying new things. If we continue to give them our support, the future looks very promising.

Junior Firefighting Program - At the October CSRD meeting, the Board supported the establishment of a junior firefighting program to engage and provide local youth an opportunity to learn firefighting skills in a safe and inclusive environment. Director Morgan said that given the difficulties fire departments have finding volunteers, this is a nice lead in, an opportunity for youth in the region to acquire basic firefighting skills. The program is designed to help 15 to 17 year old’s learn the value of public service and build character, while stimulating an overall interest in the fire service. The program is designed to support and enhance youth’s contributions to the community with an opportunity to enhance future recruiting and training opportunities. Costs for this program are estimated to be $5,000 per year, per each of the 13 CSRD fire departments, for program development, instructor time and proper equipment for the students. Whenever possible, junior members will be outfitted with existing spare equipment. Now that it has been approved, CSRD staff will work with the relevant school districts to develop and implement a Standard Operating Guideline as well as an application document and selection criteria. St. Ives Street Lighting Service Establishment Amendment Bylaw No. 5789 to increase the maximum parcel tax requisition, was give three readings and will now be sent to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for Inspector approval. The tax requisition for a service may be increased by 25% of the baseline every five years without requiring public assent, however, Inspector approval is required for increases beyond 25% or those within the five-year window. A CSRD staff report says that through the budget process, it has been determined that the St. Ives Street Lighting tax requisition is very close to the maximum amount. The last increase to the maximum was in 2012. Failure to

increase the maximum may result in a termination of service as there will not be sufficient resources to fund the service.

TOOLS & OTHER STUFF

By Jo Anne Malpass On November 11, at the going down of the sun, communities across Canada will mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War with the ringing of 100 bells. The ringing of bells emulates the moment in 1918 when church bells across Europe tolled as four years of war had come to an end. Legion Branches and communities, including Lakeview Community Centre in Anglemont, will host commemorative ceremonies and special activities to help Canada Remember. At sunset on November 11, the bells will ring at Parliament Hill, city halls, places of worship, military bases, Naval vessels and at ceremonies across the country to honour Canada's Veterans and commemorate the end of the First World War. The Royal Canadian Legions says the war to end all wars left an indelible impression on Canada. “Some 619,636 Canadians enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the war and some 424,000 served overseas. Close to 61,000 Canadians were killed during the war, and another 172,000 were wounded. Many more returned home, broken in mind and body. The Dominion of Newfoundland suffered 1,305 killed and several thousand wounded. Of the wounded who survived, 3,461 men and one woman had a limb amputated. No reliable method existed for tracking or treating psychological casualties, but authorities identified over 9,000 Canadians as suffering from “shell shock”. This was an enormous contribution from a population of just under 8 million in 1914. Approximately seven percent of the total population of Canada was in uniform at some point during the war, and hundreds of thousands of additional Canadians worked on the home front in support of the war. On 11 November 2018, 100 years will have passed since the signing of the armistice that officially ended WWI. As a tribute to all Canadians who served in this horrific struggle the Canadian Le(Continued on page 7)

gion is producing a program of remembrance for those from that era – an event that allows Canadians, if only for a moment, to stop, to remember and to feel, perhaps for a second, the joy that peace brought after so much death and destruction.” The Lakeview Community Centre invites everyone to attend its Remembrance Day Service where veterans will be honoured and the theme will be Canada’s Hundred Days to Armistice and the Bells of Peace. The Battle of Amiens marked the beginning of Canada's Hundred Days and the last three months of the First World War. During this period a series of impressive Canadian Corps victories on the

Western Front solidified their reputation as elite shock troops. Please be in your seats by 10:45 am, as the service will start promptly. Lunch will follow the service. FMI please call Gloria Goodchild at 250 - 575-5749. The Chase Legion will be having a parade at 10:30 am, Remembrance Day Service at 11 am at Chase Community Hall and Armistice 100, Bells of Peace at 3 pm at the Cemetery. Lunch at the Legion after the service at Community Hall and a potluck dinner at 5:30 pm. FMI 250-679 -3536. On November 11, take a moment to pause and remember all those who served and sacrificed.

Stolen Excavator and Trailer Recovered On October 9, the Chase RCMP Detachment received information that a stolen Caterpillar excavator was in the area of Noakes Road in Magna Bay, BC. Police attended and recovered the excavator which had been stolen from the Kamloops area. The excavator was found on a flat deck trailer which was stolen from the Scotch Creek area. Both thefts occurred over the previous night. Stolen Truck located in Scotch Creek On October 18 at approximately 12:10 pm, The Chase RCMP Detachment members were on patrol when officers noted a Black Ford F-350 parked on the side of the road in the 4500 block of Squilax Anglemont Rd, Scotch Creek, BC. Officers determined the vehicle had been reported stolen. Upon approaching the vehicle, two males fled the scene. Attempts to locate the males were unsuccessful. Recovered from the scene was the Ford truck, which was found to have been stolen from the Enderby area, and an ATV, which was found to have been stolen from the Armstrong area. Police believe this truck was used in the theft of a black and yellow John Deere excavator, model JD505, from the Sicamous area. The excavator is still outstanding. All thefts occurred during the previous night. Driver of Stolen Truck Flees from Police On October 19 at 9:15 am, Chase RCMP Detachment received a report of a suspicious vehicle. A male driver was observed sleeping in a black Dodge truck parked on Squilax Anglemont Rd near TaLana Bay, in Scotch Creek,

BC. Police attended to determine 250-679-3221 the truck was CRIMESTOPPERS 1-800-222-8477 stolen from Blind Bay, BC, during the previous night. Upon police arrival the vehicle fled. Police began to pursue the vehicle however the pursuit was quickly ended for public safety as the vehicle travelled toward Celista and the vicinity of a school zone. Further attempts to locate the truck were unsuccessful. The truck is a black 1999 Dodge Ram pickup, camouflage stripes along the sides and BC licence plate PA929V. Multiple Thefts from Vehicles in Chase On October 19, Chase RCMP detachment received multiple reports of thefts from vehicles occurring on Okanagan Avenue, First Avenue, Aylmer Road and Brooke Drive in Chase BC. Suspects broke the windows or door handles to gain entry and steal items from within the vehicles. Reports so far indicate a male wearing a hoodie and a black pickup truck are possibly involved in these thefts. Jack-Knifed Tractor Trailer On October 21 at 3:10 pm, the Chase RCMP Detachment received a report of a jack-knifed tractor trailer unit at the intersection of the Trans Canada Highway and Squilax Anglemont Road. Investigation found that a Toyota Rav 4 was making a left turn from Squilax Anglemont Road to west bound Trans Canada Highway. In making the turn the driver of the SUV paused at the intersection causing the driver of (Continued on page 9)

the tractor trailer to believe the vehicle would block his lane of travel. The tractor trailer driver fully applied the brakes resulting in the trailer jack-knifing before coming to a stop. The vehicles did not collide and there were no injuries sustained in the incident. Pickup Motorcycle Collision On October 21 at 3:20 pm, the Chase RCMP Detachment received a report of a collision at the intersection of Squilax Anglemont Road and Little Shuswap Lake Road in Lee Creek, BC. Investigation found that a Nissan Frontier pickup was travelling eastbound and came to a stop at Squilax Anglemont Rd. The truck left the stop sign into the path of a northbound motorcycle. The motorcycle struck the passenger side of the truck and the rider was thrown from the motorcycle. The rider sustained minor injuries. The driver of the truck was issued a Violation Ticket for Failing to Yield After a Stop. Stolen Property Recovered On the evening of October 23, Chase RCMP Detachment officers attended a residence on Squilax Anglemont Road in Celista, BC. From the property, police recovered numerous stolen items including a travel trailer, Honda motorcycle, an enclosed cargo trailer, an inflatable boat,

boat motor, two paddleboards and numerous tools and equipment. The property had been stolen over several weeks prior to being recovered and stolen from various locations including Magna Bay, Kamloops and Kelowna. The Chase RCMP Detachment has noted the increase in thefts occurring in the North Shuswap and Chase areas as well as the amount of stolen property recovered in the area. Officers have identified several suspects and continue to work to identify all persons involved in these thefts. Evidence is being compiled in several investigations to support charges being recommended to the BC Prosecution Service for approval. The Chase RCMP Detachment officers are increasing patrols, however, due to the large rural area, police cannot be everywhere and need the community’s assistance to combat crime. Police are asking community members to report suspicious activities, people and vehicles in the area, including vehicles, property or equipment left in abnormal places or for extended periods of time. Anyone with any information regarding these investigations, or any other crime, is asked to contact the Chase Detachment at (250) 679-3221. Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Director Larry Morgan Retires By Jo Anne Malpass Since Larry Morgan was first elected director of Area F for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District seven years ago, he has ardently advocated for improvements to our communities. Under his leadership, federal/provincial grant money was obtained, and a water system was constructed for the community of Anglemont. This same process is in the works for a water system for Scotch Creek. A park on Cornwall Rd in Lee Creek and trails at Scotch Creek/Hlina, Evelyn Falls and Farrell’s Field were developed and a boat launch waterfront park site at Celista was purchased and is in the process of being developed. There have been several upgrades to area parks including Ross Creek, Rose Clifford and St. Ives. All this, without raising the parks levy over 30c per $1,000 of assessed property value. The good relationships he built with First Nations, especially Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band, MLA Greg Kyllo, MP Mel Arnold and the Ministry of Transportation, were of great benefit when collaboration on a North Shuswap project was needed. He was instrumental in having the Squilax-Anglemont road repaved and lobbied for Line 17 road improvements, which are now in progress. He supported projects done by community groups, including the North Shuswap Community Hall, NS Lions, Lakeview Centre and the NS Health Centre, through grant in aid funding. Also, through grants in aid, he supported the NS Chamber’s roll out of tourism orientated community signage and the initial tourism kiosks. He obtained approval

to provide ongoing financial support to the Chamber for its economic development initiatives. He helped Seymour Arm by funding repairs to its community dock through grants and tirelessly lobbied for electrification and road improvements. He actively supported a road to Sun Peaks and sat on the Thompson Nicola Regional Hospital Board, the Okanagan Regional Library Board and the Shuswap Watershed Council. In response to complaints regarding dangerous dogs, a ‘dangerous dog control bylaw’ was instituted. Lee Creek was reclassified as a ‘secondary settlement area’, from a rural designation, to support development there. He strongly supported the area’s three fire departments during his 2 terms, including the provisioning of a new 4wheel drive engine for Anglemont and funding for needed renovations to the Scotch Creek Community Hall in 2013. Ongoing funding for First Responders was increased. Annual CSRD property taxes increases throughout his 7-year term were kept to a maximum of 2%, with the most recent 2018 tax increase falling to 0 %. He worked with the Kicker to make sure CSRD decisions and information was communicated to North Shuswap residents. As Director Morgan steps down, we extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all his hard work and dedication to improving the quality of life here. We wish him all the best as he retires from public office to enjoy life on the North Shuswap.

Congratulations to Jay Simpson, elected as the Area F Director to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board on October 20 with 423 votes to 205 for candidate Will Hansma. Results from each polling stations were: Simpson Hansma Advance voting 21 13 Lakeview Centre 83 45 NS Community Hall 108 35 Scotch Creek fire Hall 205 87 Seymour Arm Hall 6 25 By Jay Simpson And thus it begins... Be careful what you wish for, it just may come true. And it has for me this year! The election was exciting and a lot of work. But I walked down a lot of streets that I've never been on before, talked to a lot of people and saw a lot of beautiful vistas of the lake that reminded me of the spectacular asset we have. That was very enjoyable during the fine fall days of the election. I am already busy with my new job by putting together the background information and discussion points to begin the road to growth. I've also been contacted by various groups both congratulating me, and asking to meet to discuss their particular situation or concern. As well, we are looking at areas of common interest with places like the South Shuswap. I will be sworn in on November 14th and at that time I take the full reigns. Keep an eye on our new website, www.NorthShuswap.Info for ongoing updates. As I move into this realm of government and I join a variety of boards and committees, my primary focus is the betterment of the North Shuswap, and then as the CSRD Director. I want to thank past director Larry Morgan for his time in this position. He has contributed to the community in many ways over the last 7 years. I want to thank the people of the North Shuswap for having the confidence in me to vote for me, and for all voters out there for making your voice heard. Together we will work towards a happier, healthier and more vibrant North Shuswap, from Adams Lake to Seymour Arm.

Scotch Creek Fire News By Mike Engholm With the colder weather of the fall, the usage of wood stoves and fireplaces increases and so does the risk of chimney fires. The dangers can be almost eliminated by following some simple safety precautions. Make sure you sweep and completely clean your chimney flue (including bends and small shelfs inside chimney) on a regular basis, and have the chimney professionally inspected annually. Burn only clean dry (seasoned wood), and make the fires hot to start before shutting down the damper. If you do have a chimney fire, call 911 immediately to have the fire dept. paged out, place a soaking wet towel inside the fire box and close the fire box door, then close the damper completely down. When the time changes this fall, use that as a reminder to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and then test them. Also, it’s a good idea to use your vacuum cleaner to suck out the dust from your smoke detector. Please practice your family’s fire escape plan on a regular basis. Our backyard burning season is in place and I would like to remind everyone to register your planned burn by calling 1-888-797-1717 (it’s free) and also please observe the burning index. It is illegal to burn garbage, tires, plastics, painted or treated wood, ply-

wood or OSB, construction materials from a house demolition. The fines from Ministry of Environment are very substantial. Since the last Fire News SC/LC FD was called out for one false alarm, and one burn complaint. Training is going great, sending one Firefighter to Emergency Vehicle Driving course, and one Firefighter to Interior Live Fire course. I attended a very interesting course called Situational Awareness Matters. I will write about our Annual Community Halloween Party in the next Fire news, but I would like to thank everyone involved in the setup as it wouldn’t happen without your help. Our recruiting drive is working with people inquiring and joining our dept., so a big thank you goes out to them. We still need more members of the community to get involved and join up. Our practice is on every Tuesday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm so come on down to the Scotch Creek Hall and meet our great team. In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our past Area F Director Larry Morgan. Larry has always gone above and beyond to support the fire dept.’s of the North Shuswap, and it was very much appreciated and will not be forgotten. We all wish you and your family well in the future.

Colouring Contest Donations Sought By Jo Anne Malpass It’s that time again, the Kicker is preparing for the 21st Annual Christmas Colouring Contest. Prizes will be handed out Dec. 9 at the Lions Club Children's Christmas Party in December at the North Shuswap Community Hall. Each of the winners will receive a prize and every child attending gets a door prize gift. Last year we gave out 137 prizes and we expect around the same this year. This popular, free community event wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of volunteers and donors. Donations for the Colouring Contest are now being gratefully accepted. A donation can be an actual prize (toy, game, gift certificate, etc.) or a cheque which we at the Kicker will use to purchase prizes and gifts. We like to ensure that no child goes away without a gift. We also encourage you to come

out to the party and have a hot dog and beverage prepared by the Lions Club members. Visit Santa and see the excitement that your donation to this annual event brings to the children in our community. If you wish to participate, please call the Kicker at 250-9550534, or send us an email to kicker@kicker.ca.

By Jo Anne Malpass Anyone who has ever seen a North Shuswap First Responder in action, knows what they do for us. How comforting it is to have someone trained in emergency medical situations arrive a short time after calling 911 to take over the patient care. Karen Boulter has been a First Responder for several years, and Terri Harper has recently moved to the North Shuswap and started training. Both wanted to be involved with something that helps people in their community. Terri said that when she moved here and realized how remote and far from hospitals it was, she was relieved to hear there was a First Responder team. A First Responder encouraged her to get involved. She “opened the door and I walked through.” Karen was a teacher before moving to the North Shuswap so helping and learning has always been part of her life. She was the one who carried the first aid kit on school field trips. She remembers her father’s motto of safety first and carries that with her. She also became involved locally, with encouragement from two First Responders. Other First Responders have told Karen they started because they had been in situations with someone in a medical emergency (sometimes a friend or family member) and didn’t want to ever have that helpless feeling again.

They wanted to go to the next level and be able to help. Being a First Responder gives members the opportunity to meet people in the community and build friendships with a caring team. Responders go home after a call with a good feeling, knowing they have made a positive difference to someone in a difficult situation. As part of the initiation process, Terri has been assisting at call outs. One of the things she has learned is that when someone calls 911, it is a fearful and stressful experience for them. She was really impressed with the way the First Responders calm the patient down. NS Responders come from all walks of life, some who had no medical or first aid training before joining, retired paramedics and retired or active registered nurses. There are people with experience on the team able to give support and advice to new members. The First Responders supplied Terri with a radio, so she could listen and understand what types of calls were received, start to think about what to do on a call, look up the location on a map and get geared up mentally. She said in the beginning when the tones signalling an emergency went off, she was afraid but going through the process has made her more comfortable with moving forward on the 60-hour training course.

Karen explained First Responders have a kit with oxygen, an automated external defibrillator, a device that tests for oxygen levels and pulse and a variety of first aid supplies. Along with providing first aid, they evaluate the patient’s condition and report to BC Ambulance with their assessment and any changes that may require a quicker response, such as a helicopter. The NS First Responders in the past, averaged about 100 calls per year. Last year there were 149 and this year is looking to be about 150 as well. Although the summer season is the busiest, most of calls are for long time residents. They also train two

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

evenings a month to keep up their skill level. Because of our geography, the closest Responders to the call usually respond. There is a need for more Responders in the various North Shuswap communities, to help share the workload and shorten the travel distance to emergencies. Please consider what you can do to help. Training of new members is happening in November and anyone interested can call Phyllis Shrum at 250-955-2949 or pshrum52@gmail.com. Along with active Responders, there is also room for dispatchers and First Responder Society members, who help with funding and management.

THE Adams River Salmon Society By Darlene Koss The Salute to the Sockeye has wrapped up, 24 days of celebrating the return of the salmon to their spawning grounds in the Adams River. This was an opportunity not only to provide public education on the importance of wild salmon to our ecosystem and Society, but also to showcase our magnificent Shuswap region. The Salmon Are Coming Yes, the Adams River Sockeye and Chinook are still coming home. Amidst the speculation about returning numbers, thousands and thousands of smiles, photographs and personal encounters have been experienced by regional, national, international visitors and residents alike. Satisfied expressions and exclamations of awe and enjoyment have been heard multiple times during the official 24 days of The Adams River Salmon Societies 'Salute to the Sockeye festival. This spectacular natural phenonium of the Returning Salmon was welcomed and blessed at many different locations along the Adams Riv-

er with Indigenous Ceremonies, drumming and songs. Even though the Salute to the Sockeye festival is officially over, the Salmon are still returning in the TsĂştswecw Provincial Park. Both Sockeye and Chinook continue to fulfill their Life Cycle, with the Coho Salmon still to come. Through the cooperative efforts and energies of over 120 volunteers, Park Partners, Community organizations, well over 150,000 people, with another 7,000 students participated in Education programs, Interpretive WalkAbouts during the 2018 Salute to the Sockeye. This regal species of Wild Pacific Salmon wowed everyone, during their return in this dominant year. Without the local cooperation, support and hard work of the area community, the partners, food vendors, displays and entertainers, this Iconic Event would not have taken place. The Adams River Salmon Society would like to thank the volunteers who gave their energy to help run the event, the local business that (Continued on page 21)

gave time and resources and our partners (Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band, BC Parks and Fisheries and Oceans Canada) for their participation and for allowing this event to happen. We also would like to thank all the locals on the North Shuswap for their patience with traffic congestion during the event and for opening their community to all of the guests who came to see the salmon and area. Thank you to everyone who helped make The Adams River Salmon Society’s - 2018 Salute to the Sockeye festival such a success. “At some point….we began with ‘calling the salmon home, calling the people home’ and ended with a shared meal and ‘all my relations’.” President Don Paterson “Calling the Salmon Home” Every four years is a dominant year for the Sockeye to return to their spawning grounds. The next Salute to the Sockeye and dominant run will be 2022. Put it on your calendar – Friday before Thanksgiving. There will also be smaller educational opportunities, fundraisers, and salmon celebrations in the interim as well. We hope to see you there - stay tuned via The Adams River Salmon Society's new website (www.salmonsociety.com) featuring the “Salmon Journey” or by Facebook. Shuswap Salmon Symposium a Success Academics, scientists, Indigenous elders and knowledge keepers, students, youth, community members, conservationists, politicians and industry partners gathered for the inaugural Shuswap Salmon Symposium, September 30 and October 1 in Squilax, BC. The Symposium was held at the site of the Adams River Salmon Run. The gathering was focussed on discussing salmon conservation from multiple perspectives, including: traditional knowledge, community, art, science, law, culture, spirituality, governance, management and economics. Attendees visited Tsútswecw Provincial Park to witness the renaming of park and were led on walks with Indigenous elders and knowledge-keepers to receive a greater understanding of Secwepemc connection to salmon. The Symposium continued at nearby Quaaout Lodge where an Indigenous feast was

enjoyed, and several presenters shared perspectives on the issues and challenges facing salmon conservation, from habitat concerns, need to incorporate Traditional Ecological Knowledge, realities facing fisheries managers, declining salmon populations, fish farming effects, and Indigenous lived experiences. A stimulating panel discussion covered many areas of concern related to salmon conservation and the action planning sessions enabled open dialogue between attendees. TRU Master of Science, Environmental Science candidate, Carmen Massey, TRU Bachelor of Tourism alumni, Julie John, TRU Dean of Science, Tom Dickenson, TRU Canada Research Chair, Courtney Mason, and TRU Executive Director of Aboriginal Affairs, Paul Michel, were instrumental in bringing together the Salmon Symposium in collaboration with The Adams River Salmon Society and Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band, and numerous community members, industry and conservationist partners. TRU students and faculty from Science, Law, Business and Tourism were in attendance for this in augural event. The action planning sessions and feedback reports reflect a strong desire to move this multidisciplinary conversation forward in the future.

Community Feedback on Primary Health Care By Jo Anne Malpass Community feedback about primary health care was requested by Rhonda Eden of the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice as the guest speaker at the North Shuswap Christian Fellowship monthly business luncheon on October 18. The Thompson Region Division of Family Practice is a not-for-profit organization made up of family physicians, general practitioners, and nurse practitioners who provide primary care in Kamloops, Barriere, Scotch Creek, Chase, Logan Lake, Cache Creek, Ashcroft, and Sun Peaks. Its membership also includes retired physicians, medical residents, specialists, and midwives. She was at the luncheon to hear community feedback about access to care, patient experience, and services provided by allied health practitioners like dieticians and physiotherapists. Primary care is the point where you receive care for most of your everyday health needs, provided by family physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses in an office, primary care centre or a patient’s home.

Eden explained the organization cannot change health care but can do things to make small changes. She attended 16 community feedback events in October in the Thompson Region. Members of the audience stressed the need for a doctor or a nurse practitioner at Scotch Creek, either one full time or a rotation of five doctors so locals could have a choice. There should be more cooperation between doctors, being on the same medical electronic records system so patients don’t have to start from scratch when seeing a new doctor. The possibility of transportation services, expanding the hours of the emergency clinic at Chase and a multi-faceted team of physicians and allied health practitioners with the flexibility to see people in the community for extra support, were also brought up. There was frustration expressed over the system which causes so many difficulties for doctors within the country to move from province to province. There was a suggestion to encourage shadowing op(Continued on page 25)

make some changes” and advocate to governments for other reforms. The public is invited to the Fellowship Church once a month for the business luncheons, which feature guest speakers on a variety of local interest topics. At this luncheon, guests were treated to sandwiches, three types of homemade soup and desserts, always free of charge.

Concept Designs Created for North Shuswap Trails By Jo Anne Malpass Shuswap Trail Alliance (STA) presented preliminary concept designs for two trails on the North Shuswap and expansion of a third, to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Area F Parks Committee at its meeting October 11. STA Executive Director Phil McIntyre-Paul provided concept plans for trails at Lee Creek Bluffs, Onyx Creek in Magna Bay and expansion of Evelyn Falls trail in Anglemont to make it a loop trail. These are all fairly substantial projects, he told the committee, and was looking for direction on whether to proceed to the next step and start meeting with the wider community, stakeholders, stewards and Secwepemc people. Doing the groundwork would take about a year and would include finding out which project the community sees as a priority, budget concerns, ensuring the trails are sensitive to the environment and not a disruption to communities. The work done to develop the plans was funded by the BC Rural Dividend Program, which recognizes well designed and managed trail systems as an important element in growing rural economies,

and by two grants from the North Shuswap Lions Club. Members of the Parks committee encouraged proceeding to community consultation. CSRD Community Services Team Leader Ryan Nitchie said the CSRD Parks is involved in two major projects for the North Shuswap in 2019, along with projects in other areas, but could budget a bit in 2019 to start the process of stakeholder meetings. McIntyre-Paul stressed these are just concepts in planning phase. Nothing final until local community leadership provides direction. “We’re keen to talk with folks.” In other business at the meeting, an update on 2018 parks projects and maintenance was received. Several of the parks had dangerous trees removed and swim float lines replaced. The final designs are completed for Bristow waterfront park and boat launch at Celista. Once Crown foreshore tenure has been received, the project will go to tender in winter or early spring. Construction plans at Rose Clifford Park this year were put on hold because of concerns the capital works fund might be depleted by work at Bristow Park. The design (Continued on page 27)

Each fall I set aside time to do a few local driving tours to enjoy the beauty of the changing foliage colours. From end to end, Lee Creek to Seymour Arm, the full-on beauty of the North Shuswap has been nothing less than stunning. Soon the yellows, gold, orange and reds will be gone. I hope you’ll take some time to enjoy our beautiful, bountiful and vibrant community. November does give us one other colour – Poppy red. One of the many groups that that call the Hall their home is the North Shuswap Historical Society. On Thursday, November 8th at 3:00 pm, the NSHS will have a special photo presentation on the known veterans from both the First and Second World Wars. As we approach Remembrance Day, this is an excellent way to learn about those who served. The NSHC meets every 2nd Thursday of the month and the public are always welcome. As the commercial on TV keeps repeating… ‘It’s Flu season, have you had your shot?’ This month Interior Health will be holding a Flu Clinic at the Hall. Mark your

Coffee House returns for another musical season starting on the 3rd Saturday of the month at 7:30 pm. Part of the funds raised through Coffee House are used to teach young kids to play a musical instrument. Who needs hockey… we’ve got music in the north Shu! Rounding out the last Saturday of November (24th) is the return of the Friendship dinner. This much anticipated, annual get together runs from 5:30pm to 10:00 pm. Don’t be shy, come on out, be a friend, make a friend. Finally, don’t forget to mark your calendars because the Farmer’s Market Craft Fair returns on Saturday, December 1st starting at 10:00 am. Check out the event calendar at www.northshuswapcommunit yhall.ca and we’ll see you there because there’s always something happening at the hall!

work has been completed and once the parks department knows the full cost of developing Bristow Park, funds will be reallocated to Rose Clifford. A new contractor was awarded the maintenance contract this spring but when Parks saw the work was not being done, the previous contractor (who had the second lowest bid) was re-hired. Priorities for 2019 are Bristow Park, Rose Clifford Park and designing/planning grades to fencing, vault toilets and the playground at Don Fink Park in Seymour Arm. Having a walking/biking trail parallel to SquilaxAnglemont was again discussed. Nitchie said this is a really important long-range plan but they have hit barriers

with Highways because of geographical issues. McIntyrePaul said parallel trails are a priority for STA and everywhere they see an opportunity, they push for it. After an incident last winter at Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Field Park and Ice Rink involving alcohol and fighting, Nitchie stressed this is a family area not suitable for alcohol and partying. He said he will ask the RCMP to patrol there more often and is considering security patrols. He said Parks does not want to close the park or restrict hours so encourages the public to help ensure the park is used as a family area. The parks committee thanked Larry Morgan for taking such good care of parks in the North Shuswap during his two terms as Area F Director.

Shuswap Community Foundation Connecting People Who Care with Causes That Matter Submitted by Paula Shields With over $2.5 million reinvested in the Shuswap through grants since 1994, Shuswap Community Foundation plays an important role in the community. It is a trusted organization that works tirelessly with community partners to support charities and non-profits, ensuring that the community is able to access and respond to the challenges that residents face in a volatile economy. On October 16, 2018 the Foundation hosted its Annual Community Meeting where donors and grant recipients celebrated the spirit of goodwill that makes the Shuswap a great place to call home. With $144,320 granted over the last year to charities serving the Shuswap, SCF was able to fund projects supporting Education, Animal Protection, Seniors, Youth, Arts & Culture, Heritage Preservation, and Environmental Protection. Here is feedback from

some Grant Recipients: Paul Rosman-North Shuswap School: “The students and staff at North Shuswap Elementary are very excited to be getting a scoreboard for our gymnasium. We were fortunate that our grant application was approved by the Shuswap Community Foundation in the amount of $5500. Without this grant and the dedication of our PAC members who submitted it on our behalf, we would not have the ability to make this purchase on our own. We look forward to hosting teams and showcasing our school, skills and new scoreboard. Thank you!” Don Paterson – Adams River Salmon Society: “ARSS is grateful for the support of the Foundation as we forge ahead with our computer programs. There are a lot of fish in the Adams River and people can watch the spawning live in our interpretive centre or on YouTube. I trust(Continued on page 29)

ed that the witnessing of this great event live would not be considered an invasion of the fishes’ privacy. Thanks again.” Loretta Greenough – North Shuswap Historical Society: “The North Shuswap Historical Society applied to SC for a grant in January to expand the Driving Tour Signs of heritage buildings and locations in the North Shuswap including Seymour Arm. Thankfully we received $2500.00.” Shirley Mainprize -Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge: “Thank you for your generous support of our Generator/ Water Pump Project. We appreciate all you do for the donkeys and our community.” Renowned for its generosity, the Shuswap Community is filled with people who have a strong sense of community and who work tirelessly to ensure our community is one where all residents feel a sense of belonging. SCF reinvests all of its income directly

into that community. Charities rely on local funding to meet the increasing shortfall felt by all organizations working to fill funding gaps. Driven by the desire to make a difference and motivated by a shared vision of a vibrant and progressive Shuswap, charities and non-profits are on the frontlines, delivering much needed services to families covering all areas of life. Whether it is a scoreboard for students at North Shuswap Elementary, the purchase of an AED Machine for the Sorrento Drop in Centre, a summer educational program for children, furniture for Shuswap Hospice Society, computers for Adams River Salmon Society, or Tourists Signs for the North Shuswap Historical Society, life is made better by supporting SCF. Shuswap Community Foundation can help you to make that difference right here at home. Call us. We can show you how.

Protection from Diseases through Vaccinations

By Board Director Corrine Gaskin Fall is here in all its colour and glory. This is often a time to get back to routines, look after our health more, give back to your community etc. The Health Society will be chaired by Kris Jenson as we wish Jay Simpson well in his next endeavours. I am sure the community joins us in appreciation of all Jay helped us accomplish. We are fortunate to welcome new board members as we work to keep the clinic viable, provide health services to the community and continue our search for a Full time Doctor. We recently held our 3rd Health Fair. While attendance was disappointing there is hope that more connections have been made with Interior Health that should result in improved access for our clients. The monthly Baby Wellness Clinics are one example. Door Prizes were won by Lori Morrison, Susan Murray, Rita Aspin and Sherry Dobray. The Fair Committee appreciates the contributions made by The Hub, DeMilles, Parkside Community, Darby Pollock, Lifelabs, and Century 21. Fall is also a good time to think about health Checkups. When did you last have your eyes {not just your vision} checked? Your hearing? Prostrate check? Mammogram? Dental Exam? Vaccines? Prevention, Maintenance and Early Detection cannot be overrated. I want to concentrate on the benefits from vaccinations. Many seniors are not getting the protection they need. Vaccines are especially

important as we age because the immune system weakens, infections become harder to fight and complications greater. There is markedly increased chance of getting FLU{influenza of various forms}, Pneumonia, Septicemia, and Shingles. Risks are even higher in seniors with chronic illnesses like Heart Disease and Diabetes. Flu vaccines are recommended for adults 65 and older and for younger immune compromised persons, and those who care for vulnerable people like elderly family members. Flu vaccines are required each year as immunity is short lived and the composition is updated each year to improve coverage of the current viruses. We do know that some years mixes are more effective than others but people vaccinated who do still fall sick with flu usually recover faster and suffer less. In general the risk of getting flu is reduced by half with a yearly flu shot. Please note that you should check with your doctor to assure he/she recommends the vaccine at this time, especially if you have a history of allergic reactions or are receiving treatment. It is also not recommended to take the flu shot when you have a fever or are actively ill. Consider postponing to another day. Our local Flu Clinic is November 14th at the Community Hall. Flu vaccines are also available at our clinic with a Dr. Appointment and sometimes from the Pharmacy. We hope you will get covered. Many strains of Pneumo(Continued on page 31)

NOVEMBER 2018

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

(Continued from page 30)

nia are preventable with vaccination. Pneumonia can cause significant illness. Therefore the Pneumoccocal vaccine is recommended at 65 and older and is covered by MSP. This is a series of 2 shots one year apart. Prevnar 13 is given first , followed by Pneumovax 23. On completion the person would be protected from 36 bacterial strains that cause pneumonia and several other serious illness like meningitis and bacteremia{blood infection}. You would see a doctor to get a prescription and then to receive the shot. Arrangements can also be made to receive from Public Health Nurse in Chase. Another vaccine to seriously consider protects you from Shingles. This very painful, debilitating disease is from the reactivation of the Chicken Pox virus that has lain dormant for years. There is a new version of this vaccine, Shingrix, available the last few years which is now about 90% effective. Doctors and health nurses are promoting those over 60 to take advantage of this protection and for those previously vaccinated to update. Unfortu-

nately this vaccine is not covered by basic medical plan and only by some extended plans, but the cost is a good investment in your health. Like the Pneumonia vaccine this Shingrix vaccine is a two part series, one shot followed by a second 2 to 6 months later. Each costs about $150. You can arrange to see a doctor at the clinic to receive a prescription, pick up your shot and return to the clinic for administration. One more vaccine to consider is a booster against Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis. More seniors are contracting these diseases due to fading immunity. If you have not received a booster of TDap in 10 years you are due. If you attend the flu clinic ask the nurse about this to discuss plans to update your coverage. It is my hope that these notes will get you thinking about ways to keep yourself as healthy as possible as we enjoy our lovely fall days and get ready for the winter ahead. Keep using our clinic. See the box for dates doctors are in as well as other services offered, or call the clinic with questions and our ED or MOA will help direct you.

Bunnyrabbits Cross Country Ski Program Gets Hoppin’ this Winter Michelle Tsutsumi, Skmana Ski and Snowshoe Club Vice President & Secretary Over the summer, Skmana Ski and Showshoe Club received word that we were successful in our grant application to purchase equipment for participants in the Bunnyrabbits (4 and 5 year olds) and Jackrabbits (6 to 9 year olds) programs. Through viaSport BC’s Community Support Program Development Fund, community sport can be more accessible to people in rural communities. With this $3,000 funding boost, we’re thrilled to revitalize weekly coaching sessions for 4 – 5 year olds by offering a free program and use of equipment. Due to a shortage in coaching support, only the Bunnyrabbits program will be running this season. In the past, however, Skmana Ski and Snowshoe Club’s early days saw the Jackrabbits program as a bustling weekend event. We’re looking forward to seeing way more little ones and their families on the trails this year. The plan is to hold six weekly lessons starting on January 8 and running until February 12. Weather permitting, the program would continue until February 26. The cost and use of equipment, as well as the Bunnyrabbits classes, will be free to club members (a minimum of one adult and one child). The objective is to introduce cross country skiing and the healthy lifestyle associated with it through organized activity

and active play. In addition, the program is designed to: • Help children develop a positive self-image. • Be fun. • Provide children an opportunity to make ski-friends. • Develop fundamental movement skills. • Help children develop an awareness and appreciation of our natural environment. Skmana offers 18 km of ski and snowshoe trails to explore and it is only 15 minutes out of Chase. During the off-season, Skmana Ski and Snowshoe Club acquired a new piece of equipment which means track setting can occur in more variable conditions. This means phenomenal skiing over the winter! With a warming hut, and trails for all ability levels and conditions, it is a winter wonderland for all ages to enjoy. For more information about membership and the Bunnyrabbits program, please visit our website: www.skiskmana.com. If you are interested in sponsoring the Bunnyrabbits program locally, email skiskmana@gmail.com. With the lowest Nordic club membership rate in the province and the hidden treasure of trails, Skmana Ski and Snowshoe Club is worth a try this winter. This project was funded in part by a grant from viaSport BC and the province of British Columbia and funded in part by the Government of Canada.

Shuswap Theatre Presents Odd Jobs by Frank Moher from November 2 to 17. Frank Moher says “this play has sat on my wish shelf for a long time. It is a simple story about three people becoming involved in each other’s lives through a series of wishes, endings, and beginnings. The story line explores the relationships between employer and employee. What happens when you work together, how the dimensions shift and change; the person you are at the beginning of life, and the person you become after knocking up against influential people that enter one’s life, always fascinates me. This play resonates with me personally because Shuswap Theatre gave me my wings….let me fly in productions I could only dream about elsewhere. Coming back to keep the goop flowing is such an honour.” Danielle Dunn-Morris is directing the production. “I am excited to be back in Salmon Arm to direct a play I have been thinking about for a long time. Acting was my first love, directing came later but now putting the words into a visual story gives me great pleasure!”

Here, in Salmon Arm, I literally found my acting chops. I arrived in 1983 full of nervous excitement to a town that actually had a theatre company and a Theatre! I was thrilled when cast in the first play I auditioned for…Plaza Suite by Neil Simon directed by the one and only Agnes Rudeen.” She went on to be cast in several other Shuswap Theatre plays. “At 23 when I first saw Lion in Winter (Peter O’Tool and Katherine Hepburn) I watched Katherine play the older woman with young woman dreams and swore that I too would play Eleanor. I did! And Oh…how happy I was! Back in Salmon Arm to direct a play I love, work in the Shuswap Theatre and revisit the people who keep this vibrant theatre community alive is always a very blessed time for me.” Odd Jobs plays at Shuswap Theatre, 41 Hudson Ave. NW Salmon Arm. Shows at 7:30 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 1:30 pm on Sundays. Tickets available at Intwined Fibre Arts 161 Hudson Avenue, online at shuswaptheatre.com and at the door one hour prior to the show. This play is suitable for mature audiences.

Friday Nights Live By Barry Warkentin : event coordinator “Friday Nights Live” Once again it’s time to send out a big thanks to the North Shuswap for another year. This was quite a trying year and I would like to thank our cast and crew for their dedication. We had a very tough time in the beginning as it seemed the weather just waited for Friday night to arrive so it could dump on us. The stage crew braved brrrrrrr, cold weather, rain storms and wind storms for the first four shows. All we had was a flimsy little tarp and the musicians and crew made it work. From around 4:30 when we started each Friday til around 10:30 -11:00 when we had the last of the equipment put away it was a challenge. A valiant effort by all and I say this including the audience. You were so awesome under tarps and umbrellas. You definitely made it worth the effort. Also I would like to thank the whole community for their generosity on the August 10th show. The opening band “the Elderberries” and the the Friday Night Live crew donated all of their wages to the Van Cornewal family whose house burned down a few days before. The fea-

ture band” Suz and Jons blues band” gave a generous donation. We also donated the T- shirt sales, Rick who won the 50/50 draw donated it back to them, the Hub who donated their share and the crowd who were so generous. I think we raised over $2000 to help them in this time of need. I really felt proud to live in such a giving community. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes before any show can even start so I would like to thank Dave Allen for helping put together the entertainment. It’s not easy putting together all these people and at times we did get things mixed up but in the end it all worked out. The directors of the Lee Creek Arts and Sports Society, the governing body of Friday Nights Live for helping keep us successful and viable for all these years. It is a lot of work that goes unnoticed but is so important. Also a big thank you to our sponsors, we couldn't put this show on with out you. We are not sure of where we will be yet next year but I will keep you posted this spring. Have a great winter and once again thank you all from the cast and crew of “Friday Nights Live”.

Lions Club News By Gord Shabbits Well fall is here, and winter is just around the corner. We have lots of events going on. Our 50/50 and meat draws at the Scotch Creek fire hall are November 10 and 24 alternating with the Anglemont Community Centre every other Saturday from 2:30-5:00 pm. Check out the double meat deals. The upcoming big events are the children’s Christmas party on Sunday, Dec 9 at 1:30 pm at the North Shuswap Hall in Celista. We are full every year with face painting, Kicker colouring contest winners, hot dogs, hot beverages, treats and a gift for each child. Friday Dec. 7 will be the Christmas parade, which starts at the Hub in Scotch Creek and ends at the Super Valu store. Hope to see you all there. The North Shuswap Lions’ success is dependent on community support and we want to let everyone know how much we appreciate your

support making this a better community. The YOUTH FUND has been in operation for 3 years now and we have donated $17,000 for music, sports, arts and culture, plus gas cards to assist parents with transportation costs. This is only possible with the generous donations and attendance at our fundraising events put on by the NORTH SHUSWAP LIONS CLUB. Just apply on line for gas vouchers for children's activities out of the area. History of the Lions ClubThe North Shuswap Lions Club was formed 41 years ago. One of the main work projects then was to cut wood and deliver it to elderly or handicapped people FREE so they would be warm for the winter. We are all aging!! and we need new members badly. Your involvement or your expertise would be greatly appreciated. See any Lion member for information or call Lion Gord Shabbits at 250-574-6961

By Monique Tindall If you've ever thought about trying your hand at carving wood, Chase is the place to learn. Every Thursday morning, carving enthusiasts meet at the Creekside Center to share knowledge, ideas and laughter while they whittle away the hours. The carving club began in 2005 in Dave McClelland's garage. Dave got interested in carving after he retired: "I wanted something to do and I found that I could copy things and reproduce them in wood." Like Dave, many of our members have taken up carving as a relaxing hobby following retirement. The club currently has 28 members and includes men and women in a range of ages and backgrounds, from beginners to master carvers, brought together by their love of wood. The weekly meetings are educational as well as social gatherings. Our members are multi-talented, friendly, helpful and encouraging. We

hold courses on various types of carving such as chip carving, relief carving, whimsical houses, caricatures, faces, and spoons. There's a weekly show-and-tell and the club has a library of books and carving magazines. The carvers produce everything from walking sticks to animals to caricatures to musical instruments. Basswood and cottonwood bark are popular woods for carving; some members have tried carving soap, antlers, bones, and even golf balls. In addition to practicing carving techniques, we also practice decorative applications such as wood burning, painting, inlays, and clay sculpture. We encourage newcomers to drop in and see what we're working on. We meet at the Creekside Center every Thursday, 9 to 11:30 a.m. The coffee's on. Come on down and set a spell! For more information, call Dave McClelland at 250682-7752.

Club members built a miniature model of the Shuswap Country Store and Post Office from 1908. The store has living quarters above it and is fully furnished, complete with comical caricatures, animals, and store goods. The Shuswap Country Store is on display in Chase Safety Mart, to the right of the second set of doors.

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

School News By Jan Penner A big thanks to firefighters from the Celista Fire Hall who visited North Shuswap School to talk about fire safety and the equipment they use to fight fires in our communities. It is very helpful for the children to hear the fire safety messages, and also for them to see and hear a firefighter in full gear. If a child ever has to be rescued by a firefighter, they have seen and heard that this is someone who, while kind of scary, is there to help them. Results from Toonie Tuesday will be available next month. Thanks to all who made donations. Funds raised will be going to this year’s Me to We project, which always benefits those in a country which faces challenges to living each and every day. Volleyball season is well underway. The teams are demonstrating great sportsmanship as they build skills and their ability to work together successfully. Transportation to games this year is a challenge as many parents still need to have criminal record checks which are necessary for anyone helping with events that require them to be unsupervised with a small group of students. Please check with the office for details on how to complete the paperwork for the record checks. Thank-you for your diligence. Children from Grades 1-8 visited the Salmon Run on October 17. The programs offered were enjoyed by all. It is important that our children have such opportunities to learn about life cycles and what our interactions with nature should look like. Thanks go out to those who organized and facilitated the experience. The Kindergarten students were also engaged in outdoor

learning this day, with a trip to the beach leading to discussions about the power of water and our location in the world. Our annual Bus Evacuation Drill took place on October 11. Like a Fire or Earthquake Drill, this practice is designed to ensure that students know what to do in case of emergency. It is also a chance to refresh their knowledge of how to get on and off the bus safely, and how to cross in front of the bus in a way that ensures they can cross the road without incident. A reminder to all drivers that Yellow means Caution and Red means STOP!! Remembrance Day Assembly will be held on November 8. All are welcome. We would especially love to have any who served in the Armed Forces in any capacity, join us. If you are a veteran, please contact the office at 250-955-2214, as we would like to offer an invitation for you to be a part of our ceremony. The Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for late November. Please check the North Shuswap School website or call the office for dates and times. Funds raised will be used to purchase books for the library and classrooms. A big thank-you to the vehicles who are stopping to allow classes to cross as they head to the beach and other community locations for outdoor learning. These drivers and the ones who are actually slowing down through the school zones are demonstrating their respect for our children and their safety. To those of you continuing to zoom through, let’s just hope that your careless behaviour does not result in anything disastrous for our community.

Jetpack Learning Launch Chief Atahm School Press Release “We have a vision of a Secwepemcspeaking community living in balance with nature" Chief Atahm School is releasing an exciting new Secwepemc language game series online at chiefatahmgames.com. Modern technology fuses with an ancient language to bring Secwepemc language home. Chief Atahm School, a Secwepemc language immersion school near Chase, BC, is introducing a contemporary approach to teach language concepts and to help develop critical thinking and logical reasoning skills that can be applied to other subjects. Dr. Kathryn Michel, Language Education Specialist at Chief Atahm School consulted an educational game development team from Belfast, Ireland called Jetpack Learning. Their instructional design team customized their Rapid Gamification Templates to best suit the Secwepemc learner’s requirements.

The Jetpack team worked closely with Chief Atahm School to design game scenarios and graphics that fit with the history, language and culture of the Secwepemc people. Jetpack games are designed to run in a web browser on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile devices which means they can be accessed virtually anywhere. Chief Atahm School is a Secwepemc immersion school that opened in 1991 on the Adams Lake reserve near Chase. Through the years, the school has contributed to the revival of Secwepemc language through teaching, documenting, developing resources and training teachers in the language. To honour the Secwepemc value of kwseltktnew, or "we are all related", Chief Atahm School is committed to sharing and celebrating language survival. For more information view the website at www.chiefatahm.com or try the games at www.chiefatahmgames.com

DID YOU KNOW …. World War I (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously described as the "war to end all wars", it led to the mobilization of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. An estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilians died as a direct result of the war.
