Dear Lower Nicola Band Members,
This last month has been very busy at Lower Nicola Band. This past month Helder Ponte, our new
Executive Director and Barry Torgerson, our new Finance Manager started their employment at
LNIB. I am excited to see them both work at our band office, as they both have a wealth of experience that will assist us in moving forward.
One of Helder's first priorities is identifying our short and long term goals for each LNIB Department,
and ensuring that we take the proper steps in accomplishing them. As part of doing this, it's very important that ask community members what they would like to see in our community. If we don't
know what the communities concerns and priorities are, we will not be able to properly serve them.
The Council has also asked Helder to provide the Council with an immediate financial update of the
Lower Nicola Indian band, so we can identify the bands budget priorities. We will also be soon
providing a financial status update to the Band membership.
The Band also plans on getting community feedback relating to the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline
expansion. Its important that we do this immediately, as LNIB will be voicing our concerns at the upcoming National Energy Board hearings. We hope that the community feedback will give the Council
some direction on this important issue. We want to know what the communities concerns are, and
whether the community feels that these concerns can be addressed if the pipeline is expanded.
The band is also in discussions with Highland Valley Copper. This is also an extremely important issue, as there is potential to increase opportunities for the LNIB and its members. The Band is also
very concerned about the land, air and water relating to the ongoing mine operations, and have hired
an environmental consultant to assist us in addressing these issues over the short and long term.
I also recently visited the Chief Atahm School in Chase with the principal of the LNIB School Angie
Sterling. The purpose of the visit was to see their language immersion program. It was a great visit.
They have a language 'nest' for O-3 year olds. In the language 'nest' only Secwepemc is spoken. In
the school, we were able to see both teachers and elders teaching the children the Secwepemc language. Their immersion program goes up to grade 3. At the last Chief and Council meeting, the
Council agreed to do a feasibility study on whether the band could support a language 'nest' in our
own community. In the future it will be important for our community and school parents to decide
whether they would like to see a 1 00% Nlaka'pamux language immersion program at our band
school.
There are many other important issues that our community is facing, including land disputes, social
development, services to the youth and elders, housing and many others. The Band is also doing a
feasibility study on an Elders Care facility on LNIB lands. In the upcoming months I will provide the
community with further updates on these important issues.
I am happy to be living at home on the reserve. I look forward to visiting and getting to know everyone even better. I am available at 250.315.7563 or [email protected] if anyone would like to contact me,
or set up an appointment to meet in person.
Humelth,
Chief Aaron Sam

am trust that they placed on selectmg me for the positron of Exeaitm Director. It is an honor for me to svve you rod l
look forward to working mth ewryone, irduding electm leadership, progrim managers, ffaff, and members of LNIB?
This 4 my ftst report, for rriy first two weeks on the job. Accordingty, l concentratm my efforts in organminH my own
office and in learning about the organizatmn and operatcn of the dffierem programs offered by LNIB, and in meetinH
mth Council members and managers of most pmgrarns- To thm effect, l had Uie opportuntty to meet wh Chiei Aaron

dedicated some time from his busy schedule to meet wtth me and help me in the initial orientmon.
To date, l attended two weekly meetings of Chm and Council (April 1': and 8') and l met wmi most of the mariagers
and staff of LNIB. The purpose of the meeting wmi eadq manager am staff was muRiple- The meetThgs induded a

the businesses owned by LNIB.
Whenever possible, l ttarted reading the various reports and folders that are : my office, which have shed some light
on a number of current issues of interest to LNIB? l hope that soon l will m complete mth this task, as l need to be well

Basm on the information that I a>Imcted in the ormntmion process, and for discussmn wh Chief and Council meeting, l

Chief and Coun61 retreat in early May, and l haye been meetmg the managers of the programs and servioes, arid
managers of barn-ownm businesses on how they x use this tool to mpmw the efficiency of their sermces.
As part of the LNI B team {Councilor Harold Joe, responsib$e for tm Housing, Capml and Public Works Portfolio, and
Councilor Art Didr, fu 11-time oouncilor, Hyrum Peterson, M anager of Capital and Publi Works, and Joe Shuter, Housing
Manager, and myself), we met with Ms. Deborah Taylorr Director of the First NaUons Market Housing Fum (FNMHF), to
review and update the Letter of Agreement s:ed between LNIB and FNMHF about a year ago. We will likely rew the
engagement arid pursue the opportunity of securThg funding for comucting an energy audn for ewry house (Bandomed and indmidual Iy-owned, d tie owner ois merested) to assess what needs to be done to improw the enerHy
efficiency of each house, so monthhl electrical bills from BC Hydro am be reduced. Jt is ement that ttm is an importagm
issue to most, as we were made aware of the h4h energy bilb that some indmJuals and famil ies are paying- (n addnmri,
FNMHF will assist us in complming a feasibil$ sh.idy for dewloping a mutti-use {housir3g and Eklers' Horne} project.
We also contacted the Centre for Exa;l lence for Matrimonial Real Property to provme us some basic information
regarding the new federal Family Homes on Rtserves and MatrimoniaI mterests and RigMs Act. This Ad, recently
enacted by the F%irmmem of Canada, seeks to provide basic ridits and protections to indmduals limg on reserves

Teck Highland Valley Copper Dust Study - Community Update
Dave Caswell, Traditional Land Use Coordinator
April 15, 2014
In response to ongoing discussions with Nlaka'pamux communities, Teck Highland Valley Copper Partnership
(THVCP) initiated a study to evaluate the presence, extent and magnitude of dust escaping from mining operations,
and to develop and implement a plan to assess the effects of dust on traditional food plants. Integral Ecology Group
(IEG) is a team of consultants working with THVCP and the Nlaka'pamux communities to design and implement this
study. The study includes two parts:
Dust Mapping Study - examine the metals being carried by dust and assess where the dust is going by collecting and analyzing lichens, which are particularly sensitive to dust because they lack roots and get all of
their nutrients from the air.
Traditional Plants Study - develop and implement a plan to assess the effects of dust deposition on key traditional plants in the area.
Dust Mapping Study Update: In October 2012, a pilot study was conducted to refine the proposed design of the dust
mapping study. Lichen and below-surface soil samples vvere collected from 24 sites around the mine and the samples
were analyzed at a laboratory for the presence of metals that are common in mining dust. Results showed that metals in
lichens were higher in areas near to the mine, and that they decreased with distance. The pattern was particularly clear
for copper, which occurred most predominantly to the north and east of the mine, presumably due to wind transport of
dust. Metals in soil appeared to reflect levels naturally present in the soil, as they were not related to distance from the
mine operations.
The fieldwork for the full dust study was carried out in September of 2013. With information from the pilot study, we
modified the full study in three ways: (i) we extended the study area by 15 km to the north to capture a greater range of
dust deposition; (ii) we included key areas of concern identified in community workshops; and (iii) we added a reference study area near Lac Le Jeune, which was identified by community participants as free of dust and good for comparison to heavily dusted areas. Lichen were collected at 132 sites in the fall of 2013, and soils were collected from 83
of these sites. Samples of lichens and soils were sent to a laboratory and were analyzed for concentrations of metals.
For comparison, we also collected and analyzed samples from 10 sources of dust on the mine site, and two active logging roads. Analysis of this data has begun and results will be shared with Nlaka'pamux communities in June of 2014.
This will include presentation of maps showing the patterns of dust deposition and information on what metals are
highest in lichen compared to expected natural levels.
Traditional Plant Study Update: The design for the traditional plant study is nearly finalized, and field-work will be
carried out in the summer of 2014. The study objective is to look at the effects of dust on key traditional plants in the
area, and to do so in a way that addresses community concerns about mine dust. The proposed design has incorporated
results from the dust pilot study and from the guidance and la'iowledge offered by participants during three
Nlaka'pamux community workshops. It is important to note that information shared by study participants is confidential and will not be shared outside of this study. At the end of this study, all information will be returned to the ownership of each individual community and/or participating member, according to community traditional knowledge sharing protocols.

During community workshops, participants agreed to focus this project on the study of the soapberry plant.
Soapberry is important to the Nlaka'pamux for medicine, food, and other values, and because the plant is common across the Highland Valley, it is good for studying the effects of mine dust. To determine if we could detect metals in soapberry, we conducted a pilot study in September 2014 where soapberry (leaves/shoots) and
soils were collected at 3 7 sites around the mine and the Lac Le Jeune reference area, and then analyzed for metals at a laboratory. Berries were not collected as part of this pilot because they were not present during the fall
sampling event.
Results from the pilot study of soapberry show that concentrations of some metals in soapberry are higher at
sites within s km of the mine than at the Lac Le Jeune reference area, and they tend to decrease as you move
away from the mine. Washing of soapberry leaves also reduces the amount of metals in the shoots, but will not
remove all metals in the leaves and twigs. These results were presented to Nlaka'pamux representatives in Febmary 2014, and assisted in developing the final study design.
In February 2014, the final design study was outlined and revised based on input from participants. The proposed final design study plan will be to sample soapberry (shoots, berries) and soils at sites around the mine,
and sites in the reference area. The field work will start when the berries are ripe in the summer of 2014, and
we will begin by working with appointed Nlaka'pamux elders over the course of two days. The elders will
guide IEG field staff and HVC community researchers on how to harvest soapberry berries and shoots, how to
characterize plant health, and how to prepare juice from the berries. Some youth representatives from the communities will be engaged in this 2-day training so that they have the opportunity to learn from the elders and
participate in the project.
IEG field staff and HVC community researchers will then complete the field sampling, following the sampling
instruction provided by elders in the training. Following this work, all soapberry (shoots, berries, juice) and soil
samples will be analyzed for metals, and we will compare concentrations of metals in soapberry to concentrations in soils to determine if higher metals in soapberry are related to dust deposition or to uptake from the
soils. Final results will be presented to the community participants in a workshop and we will develop an approach for sharing the results of the study with the larger Nlaka'pamux communities.
Prior to starting the work described above, the proposed final design study will be presented once again to
Nlaka'pamux communities for feedback during the community workshop in June 2014, where we will also present results from the full dust study. If you have questions regarding this project, please contact Erin Weatherwax from Highland Valley Copper at 250-523-355 7 or [email protected].

nann tk ks6wt e l wikcn. My name is Marcel Shackelly, my father's name was Michael Shackelly, and my mother's name is Daphne Shackelly. Both of my grandmothers are from the Lower Nicola Indian Band (LNIB), Amy Mike and Delia
Shuter.
I have been hired as a procurement coordinator in the Economic Development
Department for LNIB. Since the last time I worked for LNIB, I've done a little bit
of acting, was the executive director for the Nicola Tribal Association, and my last
job was as a Forest Fuel Management Liaison with the First Nations Emergency
Services Society. I have a business administration diploma from the Nicola Valley
Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of General Studies Degree from Simon Fraser University. I am really excited about the objectives of my new job, and the opportunity to work for the LNIB again.
I will be collecting information from various companies doing business in LN?B's
traditional territory, regarding employment opportunities, and matching those with
LNIB membership's skill sets. This will help to highlight where potential training
dollars will be expended to maximize benefit to membership. Last time I worked
with LNIB under the development corporation, we worked on Forest Fuel Management projects, which helped to pave the way for people to become certified fallers,
and then we also become involved with Vegetation Control and Maintenance contracts with BC Hydro and the Ministry of Transportation.
One of the tools I will be working with is a database which I will fill with LNIB
member's skills, so I would like a copy of your up to date resume (contact info). It
can be emailed to marcel(?,lnib.net , faxed to (250)3 78-6188 (attention Marcel
Shackelly) or delivered to 181 Nawishaskin Lane Merritt, BC Canada VIK OA7
addressed to Marcel Shackelly. The metrics of my success, will be LNIB memberships success, I hope to assist in your exploration of new opportunities.

Hello to all,
Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! ! I want to update community members of some of the services we will be
providing and new services in town. There is a new daycare opening June 1. Pls see attached flyers. This daycare is open 6:00 am to 9:00 pro (great hours) and has a special needs focus. Also, just a reminder the
Jumpstart Program is open to community members. (see flyers).
We are having the Mobile Mammography Tearn coming June 19, from 10:00 am to s :OO pro. Please call Health
Center to register (earlier the better). Will need Care Card and Family Physicians name. It is recommended
women get mammogram every two years. Its available for women age 40 to 79 years old. Those with a family
history should be checked every year.
I will be doing TB testing for the community the first two weeks of May. It is required by TB control to offer to
community members every two years. Please call for an appointment and ask for Shirina.
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by germs spread through the air when an infectious person coughs or sneezes. The
germs attack the lungs and grow. TB infection (sleeping TB) is when you have breathed in the germ and your
body's defenses have stopped them from growing. TB disease (active TB) is when the germs in your body start
to grow and become active. Signs of active TB include weight loss, coughing, coughing up bloody sputum,
night sweats, and an overall feeling of being unwell. There has not been any active TB in our community for
the last five years. However, it is important to do screening so we can prevent an outbreak. Many people used
to die from TB, but now a days there is treatment available. TB still kills 3 million people worldwide and is the
leading cause of death in many countries.
All my relations,
Shirina Christianson, CHN

The study of 130.000 women in two communi(ies in Sweden showed 30 per cenk fewer women in the screening group died of
breast cancer and that (his effect persisted year after year.
Photograph by: Thinkstock. canada.com
The Iongest-running breast cancer screening study ever conducted has shown that regular
mammograms prevent deaths from breast cancer, and the number of Iives saved increases over time,
an international research team said on Tuesday.
The study of 130,000 women in two communities in Sweden showed 30 per cent fewer women in the
screening group died of breast cancer and that this effect persisted year affer year.
Now, 29 years after the study began, the researchers found that the number of women saved from
breast cancer goes up with each year of screening.
"We've found that the Ionger we look, the more lives are saved," Professor Stephen Duffy of Queen
Mary, university of London, whose study was published in the journal Radiology, said in a statement.
Dr. Stamatia Destounis, a radiologist at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care in Rochester, New York, who
was not involved in the study, said radiologists have been quoting results of the Swedish study for
years and the new findings show breast cancer screening is "even more of a benefit than we
understood."

She said sweeping changes in the u.s. screening guidelines two years ago that scaled back
recommendations on breast cancer screening caused a Iot of confusion among doctors and patients
about the benefits of mammograms.
"We've hsd to do a Iot of education of the patients and their doctors. This will help for that," Destounis
said.
Iri the study, women were divided into two groups, one that received an invitation to have breast cancer
screening and another that received usual care.
The screening phase of the trial lasted about seven years. Women between 40 and 49 were screened
every two years, and women 50 to 74 vvere screened roughly every three years.
"Our results indicate that in 1 ,000 women screened for 10 years, three breast cancer deaths would be
prevented," Duffy said, adding that most of the deaths prevented would have occurred more than a
decade after the screening had started.
"This indicates that the long-term benefits of screening in terms of deaths prevented are more than
double those often quoted for short-term follow-up."
The new data adds to evidence on the long-term benefits of regular mammography screening.
SCREENING CONTROVERSY
New breast screening recommendations issued in 2009 by the u.s. Preventive Services Task Force,
an influential advisory group, recommended against routine mammograms for women in their 40s and
said women in their 50s should get mammograms every other year instead of every year.
The guidelines contradicted years of messages about the need for routine breast cancer screening
starting at age 40, eliciting protests from breast cancer experts and advocacy groups who argued the
recommendation for fewer screenings would confuse women and result in more deaths from breast
cancer.
The changes were meant to spare women some of the worry and expense of extra tests needed to
distinguish between cancer and harmless lumps. But the latest results from the Swedish study show
the rate of false positive results was Iow.
"We saw the actual number of overdiagnosed cases was really very small - Iess than s per cent of the
total," Robert Smith, director of cancer screening at the American Caricer Society and one of the
study's authors, said in a telephone interview.
Many groups, including the American Cancer Society, have stuck by their Iong-standing
recommendations of a yearly breast exam for women starting at age 40, stressing that the breast Xrays have been proven to save Iives by spotting tumours early, when they are most easily treated.

"l think for anybody who was beginning to have their faith sha!?en in the value of mammography, these
data show mammography is quite valuable as a publie health approaeh to redueing deaths from breast
cancerl" Smith said,
Duffy said he thinks screening women 40 to 54 every 18 months and sereening women 55 and older
every two years would be a reasonable sehedule.
He said the new findings do not speak to the frequeney of sereening issue, but they do make elear that
sereening works,
"Everyone must make up their own mind, but eertainly from eombined results from all the sereening
trials, mammography in women aged 40-49 does reduee deaths from breast aaneer," he said.
Breast eaneer is the seeond-Ieading eause of eaneer death among u.s. women, after lung eaneer.?lt
kills 500,000 people globally every year and is diagnosed in elose to 1.3 million people around the
world.

Why exercise?
The Canadian Diabetic Association recommended guidelines for physical activity
is to aim towards a minimum of 150 min. to moderate to vigorous intensity of aerobic exercise each week spread over at least 3 days of the week. People with diabetes should strive towards performing resistance exercise 3X a week. Start slow
with s to 10 min a day and work your way up to about an hour a day.
Examples may include:
A brisk walk (with family, friends, co-workers) in addition to resistance training
(such as weight training)
Play street hockey or biking
The benefits can lower your risk to developing diabetes, and if you have diabetes
then being active helps:
Manage blood sugar levels

Faster healing
Lower blood pressure & Cholesterol
Reduced risk of heart attack & stroke

Healthy Eating Tips
Provided in conjunction with Diabetes Integration Project
*
*
*
Eat a variety of food! The food guide "Eating well with Canada's Food Guide, First
Nations, Inuit and Metis? is an important tool for individuals, families and communities
to learn about healthy eating. The food guide explains how traditional foods and storebought foods can be used to support healthy eating.
Eat three meals a day and space meals no more than 6 hours apart. Eating at regular
times can help you manage your blood sugar levels.
Try cooking methods such as baking, broiling and steaming food instead of frying. Frying food adds fat to it and can make it hard to stay at a healthy weight. A healthy weight
is healthier for your heart!
*
*
*
*
*
Choose wild meat and unprocessed meats such as skinless chicken, fish, lean ground
beef etc instead of bacon, bologna, and wieners. Wild meat is lower in fat and healthier
for your body!
Try wild rice, brown rice, whole grain macaroni, whole grain bread, oatmeal bannock
instead of the white types of grains. Whole grain breads and cereals have fiber that will
help you feel full and can also help with blood sugar and blood fat levels!
Choose fruit when you want to have something sweet! Food such as desserts, cookies,
candies, jam, honey and jelly can increase your blood sugar level. Fruit has fiber that
will help you feel full and can also help with blood sugar and blood fat levels.
Choose water to quench your thirst. Drinks with sugar such as cola, juice and drink
crystals may contain a lot of sugar. Too much sugar in your food can make it hard to
keep your blood sugar level in a healthy range.
If you have questions about your food intake and your health, contact a Registered Dietitian.

There are three types of diabetes:
1. Type l Diabetes
2. Type 2 Diabetes
Gestational Diabetes
Diabetes is caused when the pancreas fails to produce the right amount of insulin,
and your body does not use up enough glucose (also referred to as sugar).
Type l Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. With Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas makes little or no insulin, so you need insulin injections everyday and a carefully planned healthy way of eating.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. With Type 2 diabetes, the
pancreas is not releasing enough insulin or the insulin is not working, as it should.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy between the 24th and 28th week.
There are too many hormones made during the prepnancy and the body cannot use
the insulin properly. Sugar is not taken to the cells so there is a high level of sugar
in the bloodstream. It can be controlled 95% of the time just by eating in a healthy
way and if needed, with insulin.
Your blood sugar usually returns to normal after your baby is born but you have a
50% chance of developing Type 2 diabetes later on.
Pancreas: The pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach. The pancreas has
two jobs to do in the body, these are:
1. Make Insulin Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas. This hormone helps
our cells (basic living unit of all plants and animals) take in sugar from the blood to
give us energy to keep our body working properly.
2. Help Digest Food The pancreas makes enzymes to help the body digest food.
Enzymes breakdown the food we eat to take out and use the nutrients we need to
live.

Prevention
Type 1 cannot be prevented.
Type 2 diabetes can be prevented.
Prevention of Type 2 diabetes results mainly from healthy living, by:
- Managing your body weight through a balanced meal plan and a
healthy way of eating with regular physical activity/exercise
. Learning to mange your stress because it can cause your blood sugar to
rISe
* Lose weight if you are overweight
Good management of blood sugar levels can keep you feeling well, have
lots of energy and free from infections
How we keep ourselves healthy relates directly to our personal health. All
of the following points will increase the risk for developing Type 2 diabetes but these are things we can control and change.
. Little or no exercise
. High levels of stress
. Poor eating habits - high sugar, high fat diet
Smoking
