Adams Lake Indian Band Education This is overall ALB Mission Statement

Our Creator placed us on this land to take care of our people, our land, our language, our customs, our knowl­edge, our culture, our title, to be ours forever and ever. Ensuring that we live in a safe, healthy, self sufficient

community where cultural values and identity are consistently valued promoted and embraced by all.

The reason for the Education report is to update ALB Chief and Council and community; have a monitoring sys­tem in place that we are able to update and revise as funding changes or programs/services change based on

resources available .

EDUCATION MISSION STATEMENT:

THE EDUCATION PROGRAM SHALL PROVIDE OUR MEMBER'S WITH TOOLS TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT/RELIANT AND TO WORK TOWARD

DEVELOPING KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ATTITUDE FOR EMPLOYMENT OR FURTHER EDUCATION. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE OVERAL VISION STATEMENT TO TAKE OF OUR RESOURCES, PROTECT OUR LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND CUSTOMS THORUGH OPPORTU­NITIES WHEN PRIORITIZING RESOURCES FOR EDUCATION.

K-12 Education

National and Province:

Two meeting: one in Ottawa and one in Vancouver: for K-12 Education on reserve.

AANDC is proposing an Education Act in Canada. The reason: "legislation can help govern the quality of education and strengthen partnership arrangements, which proving critical to the success of First Nations students"

1) choices how to operate a school 2) establish a FN Education Authority 3) operate independently to deliver educa­tion services 4) enter into agreement with province for delivery of education services. 4) provide mandatory univer­sal standards 5) Balance mandatory universal standard for teachers and students how to govern and deliver educa­tion to children 6) attain recognized high school diploma 7) deliver better tools to evaluate schools - whats working etc 8) provide schools with sustainable funding

Chief Atahm and Education Department will be hosting an evening meeting to go through this in detail: please keep this on your mind and take time for input into this.

Update on response to Education Legislation from AFN, UBCIC and FNESC/FNSA will be provided at the meeting also.

A brochure of this is available at ALB Education also will be included in this newsletter.

We have set goals for K-12 Education: to being process of moving students toward having proper assessments in school and placed in appropriate programs. Some students were in adapted or modified courses when they were fully capable of completing a regular program for their grade. Please check your child 's report card . If they have an E or A behind a course; this does have impact once they get to high school. They need your signature to have your child in a modified or adapted program (courses) . This is also referred to an Individual Education Plan. Do not sign an Individual Educa­t ion plan; set up meeting with teacher go over what it means in relation to long t erm graduation .

Ongoing meeting with Schools as to how each child is doing. If they are not in school the school will phone the num­ber you provide to let you know or ask if they are at home. So when they are home sick please let them know so we all know where they are for safety reasons and to get homework to stay caught up.

School is nearing the end; so check to see if all their assignments are caught up; work is being handed in; textbooks are in good order, and t extbooks are handed back in at end of school yea r. You can check by calling school as to what text­books the student is using.

12 March 20 13

Adams Lake Band Education: Reminder to School Bus Rider Parents: we have had reports of bullying on bus; remember to ask your child how they are doing; make safe time for them to let you know. (we have made arrangements to have K-12 Education Worker get on bus regularly to remind students of bus regulations) (these are meant for safety reasons) children need to be re­minded to stay seated; getting to bus stop on time; watch your children when walking to bus stop.

Also, addressed issues of children walking home; after school; parents need to be aware of this. The miscommunica­tions between the Bus Driver, Bus Monitors at School, have been cleared up. They can catch the second bus run in emergency situations only; not to stay behind to go to store or playa bit longer for Haldane students. Students need to be coached at home as to what to do in emergency; go in school and phone home parent / guardian or phone Educa­t ion dept etc.

Our goal is to ensure t hat all Students have a safe bus ride to and from school and we can work together t o make t his happen.

Grade 12 Graduates this year: 12 Graduates: 6 with Dogwoods 6 with Adult ce rtificate or Ever Green certificates. 3 of the 12 high school graduates have made plans to go on to University or college.

Post Secondary: is funded by INAC in set amount of funds. ALB funds to capacity and expenses all funds to ALB students. All applications need to be in by January to sta rt in September and September to start in January (as this is mid fiscal year - this is pending a student drops out or withdraws in January) .

• We have six post secondary graduates finishing their programs this year.

So far have 3 of high school graduates applications complete to enter college/university in fall. So 3 completed 3 fill

spaces and funded!

Reminder to ALB members/students: change in policy is that the funded program needs to be 8 months long (certificate, diploma, degree, master, PHD) programs will be funded for living allowance, textbooks, tuition .

Process for funding is INAC sends funds to ALB; set amount which is generally all expended or we are required send funds back; which we never have; PSSR report done by July, of each year as to names, institute attending, band num­ber, program enrolled in, amount of funds (tuition, books and living allowance) sent to INAC.

13 March 20 13

STEP is Shuswap Training and Employment program: funds ALB members for employment and training .

To be eligible: 1) Unemployed or low skilled 2) need potential employer send a letter verify employment 3) requests for work gear regularly; this is basically each person responsibility to have this prior to working. STEP my assist~ once. 4) payment of professional fees is not funded - fallers, teacher, nurse, lpn, social work, criminal record checks etc. 5) financial assistance for transportation is provided on full attendance and requires pre-approval 6) Send in STEP Registration form, program information and request minimum 5 days before program start 7) all documents re­quired before it is.

Once a course is held in the community such as : WHMIS, TOG, 5100, S100A, H2S Alive, etc., it will no longer be avail­able for funding (individual or group) until following year. You would have to fund this course yourself.

A Registration form is required to be signed and handed in to STEP Coordinator with supporting documents: course you are taking; cost oftuition and written letter of request for any further assistance. Then all funding services provided only once; you cannot continue to take courses or request funds; so be sure this is the employment you are seeking and wanting to work in . This form is available to be emailed to you; or in our offices.

These are STEP policies we need to follow in order to access (get) the funds to help ALB members obtain employment and training. We cannot change it for each individual. All enquiries need to be made to myself and also in writing by the person requesting the program/services as only adults can obtain this funding. It's a huge amount of paper work and will show your commitment to becoming reliant on yourself not others for your own life.

We like to help make the change from Income Assistance dependent to employed! I would like to work on getting young people to want to earn more than $285 per month; minimum wage is $10.75 per hour so now can earn up to $350.00 per week on minimum wage versus $45.00 per week on other income.

How do we help? Be involved in community garden; or do own garden; community fishing; pick berries, roots, medi­cines, attend workshops; attend training that is available; attend meetings; go to treatment, go to sweats, sun dance, ceremonies, other activities to provide input to help make the change for safer community ..

Also, Service Canada released a letter stating that persons on seasonal jobs will not be eligible for Unemployed Insur­ance also; so they are changing their way of providing funding also. Go to Service Canada website to check this out...

Switsmalph IR#6: K-12 Education Worker has a schedule to be in SO#83 to provide support services for June then a new schedu le will come out in September 2012 for continued support. This is to provide advocacy at the school, meet with parents and students, go to the schools, visit and have coffee with parents ... also assist with tutoring at Sec. Also to provide opportunity for Ementoring students to log on and connect with the ir

program.

Also, a Child Care Development Centre is being reviewed; (as funding is needed) for a expansion of Headstart program to Child Care Centre; Robyn has been very successful in obtaining grants for appliances, and equipment, playground and other equipment needed to improve Headstart or Child Care Development Centre. This is in feasibility stages and need to look at funding; what is needed and check the statistics are there enough children and do we have our people

ready to work in it etc. So stay tuned ...

Summer Student program is offered again; we do not have many applications!! Get resume done hand in to front desk. When no one from ALB applies then we offer to general community. This helps lessen the demand on parents pockets for starting school in fall. Also, provides opportunity for youth to learn employment ethics; job requirements, conflict resolution, communication, earn on way in life, and many other tools to become to rely on self...so calling all

ALB Students - apply ....

Tutoring is available: Catch up and Stay Caught Up! Get list of your child's courses, work required, work with tutor to catch up and stay caught up .... School has K-12 Education Worker is and will be knocking on doors including the schools to monitor closely the progress and attendance . Any persons missing more than 3 days per month will be contacted to catch up and stay caught up. The teacher does not wait for a student if miss school; they have 28 other students in class room to teach. Call your child's teacher weekly at the latest monthly to check on your child.

14 March 2013

Monthly sometimes is too late especially now since school is almost done. 65 more days or 13 weeks left of

school; then they will be home 24-7 for 9 weeks ..

Staying in touch with teacher shows your child that you are serious about their education; so they become more in­volved in their learning. We have such awesome athletes in our community; yet not too many of our students join the basketball, volleyball or other sports at school.

Reading and Recreation program is a program to promote reading for your child. In the morning will be reading and interaction amongst each other - peer reading or individual reading with assessments at beginning and end of pro­gram. In the afternoon will be recreation - outside doing various activities. We have applied for funding and will be letting you know when this is approved .

Ementoring program is going into its last year at ALB. So make sure you make time at home for the student at least 15 minutes per night to log on the Ementoring. This will help improve math and science in school ifthey log on regularly. grades 6-8.

ALB DreamCatcher Youth Conference is September 27-30, 2013 at ALB Gym, Chase, BC - if you would like to have in­put into workshops, or volunteer, or participate in any way let us know at ALB Education. General notices have gone out and last year's video is posted on U Tube now.

Dreamcatcher Shuswap Youth conference 2012.

Career and Job Fair is first Friday in December; this Career and Job Fair is for Adams Lake Band membership. To pro­vide opportunities' for students and parents and community members to visit with the vendors to see what jobs are available and what training is available; also what type of training is needed for a chosen career choice . Employment Counselors were on site last year but with change with Service Canada; each person is responsible for bringing their

own resume.

Grant Writing takes up a lot of time; sometimes its for small amount with a lot of information needed; so during the proposal calls I am generally away doing proposals for more programs and services trying to fill a gap in funding in Edu­cation . Just ask you do leave a message or put your request in writing with as much detail as possible and leave at

front desk with ALB Education on the information .

Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas

or stone walls.Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas.

Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard.

Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house.

Widen and maintain trails on your property.

If you find a tick on yourself, a family member, or pet, wear gloves and gently remove it. Be careful not to crush the tick as this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin. If you find a tick, check very carefully for others. Other tips to remove ticks safely in-

clude:

Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin.

Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out.

After removal, clean the area with soap and water.

If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or

visit a walk-in medical clinic.

City of Salmon Arm information

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Community input invited on Strategic Plan that will guide City's actions and spending for next 10 to 15 years

February 25, 2013, Salmon Arm -- The City of Salmon Arm is creating its first ever long-term Strategic Plan. When complete, the plan will be a guide to help City Coun­cil and Staff more effectively make decisions around infrastructure planning and im­plementation, prioritize projects and spending, identify revenue sources and con­sider taxation over the next 10 to 15 years.

liThe City has developed and implemented a number of strategies in the past, such as our Official Community Plan" says Mayor Nancy Cooper. liThe advantage we see in creating an overarching Strategic Plan is that it will provide greater alignment and efficiencies for all planning across City operations."

While direction for the plan will primarily come from City Council and Senior Man­agement, community members and organizations will be asked to participate at key times in the planning process, according to Mayor Cooper.

liThe City has undertaken extensive public consultation in the past on matters of community direction," says Mayor Cooper. "We intend to use strategies like our Of­ficial Community Plan and the community input that went into developing it to help inform this strategic planning process. But we also want to touch base with the com­munity as a way to check in on what specific opportunities they see as being impor­tant to achieving our vision and goals as identified in our OCP. "

The Strategic Plan is unfolding through a six-step process:

The City will undertake background research and identify key factors what will shape the City and its local government.

Municipal leaders, including City Council and Staff, will provide their input.

Residents and community organizations will be invited to provide input through on-line, targeted surveys.

City Council and Staff will identify priorities for inclusion in the Strategic Plan.

Task force teams will be created to refine and develop the strategy and action plans for each priority. Task force teams may consist of municipal employees, external advisors and community representatives.

A draft of the Strategic Plan will be made available for community input before the plan is approved by City Council.

22 March 201 3

Chief Administrative Officer Carl Bannister says the City has created two surveys to gather input from residents and community organizations.

"The residents' survey will allow all community members to communicate their pri­orities directly to City Council and Staff for consideration in the Strategic Plan," says Mr. Bannister. "A second survey for Salmon Arm community organizations will gather feedback on which

projects or initiatives the organizations are planning to undertake over the next 10 to 15 years and what alignment there may be with the City's goals."

Through past community engagement, Mr. Bannister says the City has identified sev­eral key goal areas that appear to be top-of-mind to community members and will be important in shaping the Strategic Plan. They include:

Parks and Recreation

Utilities and Public Works Infrastructure

Transportation Infrastructure

Arts, Culture and Heritage

Economic Opportunity

Natural Environment, Agriculture and Climate Change

Social Support and Housing Diversity

Sustainable Community Development

Partnerships and Relationships

The residents' survey and the community organization survey will be available on March 13,2013. The residents' survey can either be accessed and completed on line on the City's website at www.salmoncum.ca/strategicplan or residents can pick up a pa­per copy from City Hall at 500 2nd Avenue NE, Salmon Arm, BC, VIE 4N2. Commu­nity organizations will receive their survey information via email or mail before March 13, 2013 for completion by a representative of the organization.

All surveys will need to be completed and submitted prior to 4:00 p.m. on April 10, 2013 in order for survey results to be tabulated to meet the City's Strategic Planning timelines. Completed paper surveys can be returned to City Hall.

The City intends to complete the Strategic Plan by Fall 2013.

We want your used shoes~

A colossal shoe drive involving ten schools in the school district takes place April 2 to 26. All of the shoes collected will go directly to people in need in Nicaragua.

Students have been learning about a small community in Nicaragua and gaining an understanding of challenges that face these citizens each day. The small village of Jiquillilo has been ravaged by civil war, decimated by a tsunami, and plagued by extreme poverty. It is the

students' hope to make a change in the world and deliver much needed shoes to those in need. All of the shoe donations will be personally delivered by members of the Kamloops community bound for Nicaragua.

Promotion We will be making our drive for shoe donations as public as we can and would most definitely appreciate your support! Please individually network with people you know and donate as many shoes as you can get your hands on. Let's make this a huge success!

Classroom Collection In addition to publicity in the local community. students will be participating in classroom activities that focus on data collection and counting. Each week shoes from each classroom bin will be collected and tallied. We will be highlighting weekly class subtotals and tracking our progress!

Shoe Drop Off for the General Public t Haldane Elementarv School or at Big Steel Box, during business hours. 1370 Salish Road.

Any shoes. Any size. Any colour. Any Style.

Thank you in advance for your support in this exciting endeaVOUr!

Real World Dirt Bike Safety Tips To Keep A Rider Relatively Safe

One of the number one dirt bike safety tips that is also the easiest to remember is to never

ride alone, especially if you are riding off-road type of disciplines. Additionally, as men­

tioned below, "Don't Ride Over your Head" is another good one, and "Dress for the Crash,

Not the Ride"

Dirt Bike Safety Gear You Should Have For Every Ride

30

A Helmet - A good helmet is absolutely critical to have if you're

riding a dirt bike, as this is what protects your head, so be sure to

get a quality helmet that fit's properly and wear it with it properly

secured every time you ride.

Goggles - A good set of Goggles is imperative for eye protection,

as well as for keeping irritating dirt & dust out of your eyes but

when purchasing goggles, be sure to get some compatible Tear­

Offs , as these can provide you with a new field of clear vision in

an instant after getting pelted with a face full of roost.

A Neck Brace - Neck donuts were once the best option for protec­

tion against neck injuries but neck donuts have proven to be nearly

worthless , so a high quality neck brace is imperative as the current

neck braces can do a tremendous job of reducing the likelihood of

a serious and debilitating neck injury.

A Chest Protector - There are many different styles of chest protec­

tors available and the use of one is highly recommended as a

chest / back protector (also advertised as a "Roost Deflector") can

help dissipate the energy generated in a crash helping to protect

internal organs & other body parts from impact damage.

A Hydration Pack - Maintaining proper hydration is a must if riding

off-road, or cranking out long moto's, as a drinking system can

carry fluids that are eaSily consumable when riding and critical for

survival.

March 2013

The following items which are the Jersey, Gloves, & Pants can be purchased as a

Combo however, if you're interested in shopping for the items individually,

they are Jersey Gloves Pants

Undergear Shorts - Under gear shorts are good to have as they

help prevent chaffing and irritation when riding , as well as sparing

others the sight of having to see you running around in your un ­

derwear at the camp or pits when changing between riding gear

and street clothes or vice versa.

Knee Braces - Knee braces are a product designed for dirt bike

safety that anyone who rides a dirt bike should have, as most who

ride on a regular basis , won't ride without knee braces after a 1 st

use and although pricey, knee braces are an excellent piece of pro-

Moto Socks - Moto socks are a great invention and something to

have as they help prevent chaffing and irritation from use of knee

braces, as well as providing a little extra padding and comfort

around your foot while wearing motocross style boots.

Boots - A pair of quality motorcycle boots are highly recom­

mended as using these in place of a standard boot can offer a lot

more protection to your lower leg, ankle and foot area and should

not be left off of your list.

If you are planning on riding off-road type of disciplines or simply trail riding with friends

and / or family, be sure to stay on well marked, and / or frequently used trails so as to

prevent any occurrences with fencing and avoid any unforeseen surprises such as holes,

abandoned mines, well pipes, debris, ditches or drop offs, all of which could be disastrous

if encountered suddenly at speed.

This goes for riding ATV.

Another safety tip:

Let someone know your rout

Always carry a cell phone/radio
