Patio, Service Area Expansions Support Safe Reopening
Government has taken action to support the province’s hospitality sector by temporarily authorizing the expansion of service areas, such as patios, to support physical distancing requirements and industry recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. “This pandemic has hit our hospitality sector hard. Our government has been working with industry on ways to support the more than 180,000 British Columbians who work in pubs, restaurants and other parts of the sector,” said David Eby, Attorney General. “Speeding up the process will help restaurants, pubs, breweries and other licensees, and give British Columbians more options for safely eating out this summer, while continuing to follow Dr. Henry’s directions.” To support businesses in their reopening efforts, the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation branch (LCRB) will now permit food-primary, liquor-pri-
mary and manufacturer licensees, such as wineries, breweries and distilleries, to apply through a simplified online process to temporarily expand their service areas until Oct. 31, 2020. The temporary authorizations are focused on expanding a licensed service area’s footprint only and will not permit an increase in an establishment’s overall occupancy. Licensees must comply with all local bylaws and liquor-primary and manufacturer licensees must also receive the approval of their local government. There are no fees associated with the temporary expansion applications, which will be reviewed in the order they are received using an expedited approval process for faster processing times. While there will not be a site inspection prior to approval of the permit, inspectors will conduct regular compliance inspections. “This is excellent news that will be welcomed by all of our members and by businesses throughout B.C.,” said Ian Tostenson, president and CEO, B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “This pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for all of us, and it has been invaluable for government and industry to work together as they have, as we take these important steps toward recovery. We thank the Province for its significant efforts and look forward to rebuilding together.”

Show Consideration for Local Businesses Reopening With many local businesses getting ready to reopen, ones that have already reopened or have stayed open, please show some common sense and consideration. Show some understanding that they may have just survived one of the hardest professional and personal challenges they’ve ever faced. The new and constantly changing procedures, rules and recommendations can be difficult to keep up with. While they’re excited to open, the owners and employees can be under some stress, keep this in mind when dealing with the new circumstances. Please don’t go to these business and complain about changes in new policies and protocols. They most likely cannot operate in the same way they did before the pandemic. Everything is different for them and as a customer, you may not be aware of all of the changes that have gone on behind the scenes. If you come across a situation where you feel that a business is not practicing these new protocols, do not
be a ‘Keyboard Quarterback’ and immediately go onto Facebook, or other platforms, and start complaining. Show some consideration and politely inform the business of your opinions. Then give them the opportunity and time to make necessary changes. Be considerate and have patience, these are new times for everyone. Support your local businesses!

Why Did God Make Rainy Days? So Gardeners Could Get Some Housework Done!
In The Beginning
While reading a book last evening a reference was made to the fact that most vegetables and fruits that we now grow in our garden actually came from Central America and of course this peaked my interest as to who, why and when. Not surprisingly this is true! Most of the plants we grow in our gardens and the foods we love came from South and Central America and were introduced by various means to Asia, Europe and then to North America. Here are a few of the most favoured and their history. The Tomato was originally from the Andes which encompasses Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Equador. It was domesticated by the natives there around 700 BC. Explorers brought it home and introduced it to Europe in the 1800’s where at first it was believed to be poisonous. This was because of its acidic qualities that caused lead to leach from the cutlery and plates that were used by the rich, however, the poorer Europeans ate off wooden plates and therefore were not sickened and killed by the fruit and it became very popular especially by the Italians that made it a food staple and brought it to North America when they immigrated here. It was made wildly popular as a staple on pizza and today over 12 million tons are grown worldwide.
Potatoes were originally grown in Peru and Sir Walter Raleigh was responsible for taking it to Europe, originally to Ireland in the 1500’s and 4 decades later to the rest of Europe. It is now the 4th largest food crop grown in the world after Rice, Wheat and Maize. Beans were originally from Mexico and although it did move north with migrating natives it arrived in 16th century Europe through explorers. Squash, Pumpkins and Gourds were first found in Central America and migrated north to Mexico. These were not only prized as a food source it also provided fishing floats and containers when dried out. They were domesticated about 8000 years ago and made it to Europe in the 16th century. Radishes are from Asia where the wild radishes were domesticated and then later came to the European world by way of the Greeks and Romans who loved them. In the 13th century German botanist were growing radishes that weighed up to 100 pounds. Cucumbers were grown in India 3000 years ago and were introduce to Europe by the Greeks or Romans. In the 16th century they were brought to the New World and introduced to the native Indians. It again is considered a fruit.
Peppers originated in Mexico and other Central American regions. Both hot and cold peppers were grown and were introduced to Spain in the late 1400’s by explorers. They too were considered fruit. Corn was introduced to the world by the Mexicans and was developed into what we now know as corn about 7000 years ago. It evolved from a grass that held a few and sporadic seeds. It was taken to Europe in the late 1400’s and to Africa in the 16th century. Today China is the largest producer of this staple. The South American natives were also the first to companion garden. This was called the 3 Sisters where corn, squash and beans were grown. Corn supported the beans and squash kept the weeds down and kept the moisture in the ground from evaporating. Happy Gardening!

COVID Constipation
By Donna Easto, C.H., H.C., M.H., Certified Herbal Educator Covid-19 has resulted in considerable changes to our day-to-day activities. The need to stay home and remain isolated from others is the main cause behind something being dubbed 'quarantine constipation’. Even if you didn't have constipation before the pandemic arrived, chances are you might be struggling now. Whether you're isolating or working from home, your daily routine of eating, sleeping, and generally moving your body has likely changed. You might be feeling anxious or stressed. All or any of these things can lead to the upset of your 24-hour sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). In particular, the colon's circadian rhythm is easily disrupted, resulting in the weakening of colonic motility (the process that moves food through by successive contractions). When food moves regularly through your colon, water is absorbed, and stools are formed. Irregularity occurs when the colon's muscle movements are too slow - too much water is absorbed, resulting in hard, dry stools. Essentially, constipation means stools that
are too hard; in very small pieces; pass infrequently (less than 3x/wk), or need too much straining to move along. If you've tried all the usual remedies: drinking more water; limiting caffeine; eating more high-fiber foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts...); cut back on high-fat food (cheese, milk, ice cream…); decreasing stress and increasing your exercise level, but you're still suffering, there are some safe, natural approaches. These are not a substitute for dietary and lifestyle changes, but they're safe and effective remedies…. Magnesium 350-450mg at bedtime. Look for citrate or glycinate (best absorbed but less laxative). If you have poor kidney function or are on prescription meds, speak with your pharmacist or health care provider before taking supplemental magnesium. Start your day with Flaxseeds (ground), combine 1 tbsp with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and a bit of cinnamon to pump up your fiber and probiotics and keep things moving. Dandelion-Yellow Dock Root Syrup (a favourite

of mine), simmer one ounce of each herb uncovered in 4 cups of water until reduced to 1 cup. Strain out herbs, add ½ cup blackstrap molasses, mix until well blended. Cool and store in the refrigerator (keeps up to 2 weeks) dose: 1-2 tbsps, once or twice a day. Note: If you are pregnant, avoid these botanical laxatives: Aloe, Cascara, Buckthorn, Castor oil, Chinese rhubarb, and Senna.

Some Good Things Can Be Contagious It is no big surprise that bringing a smile to another person’s face can help you just as much as them. In fact, a study done recently by Psychology Research Magazine found that the interaction between witnessing another person’s positive facial movements causes a perception of happiness in the viewer’s face. Therefore, seeing joy is a contagious sharing of happiness. What a great thing to catch from someone these days! “A smile cures the wounding of a frown.” – William Shakespeare “A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.” – William Arthur Ward “You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.” – Charlie Chaplin “We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.” – Mother Teresa “A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.” – Phyllis Diller
“Never regret anything that made you smile and remember that wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.” – Mark Twain Loneliness and depression can be quite common in the elderly population. It can make a huge difference in a senior’s day to simply connect with them; even if it is just a friendly hello and a smile. Bring some joy to a senior’s face and spread some contagious happiness. “Today, give someone one of your smiles. It may be the only sunshine they see all day.” – H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Health & Nutrition
Iron – Part 1
Iron is an important mineral that is stored by the body in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. It’s needed for red blood cells to form which are essential for carrying oxygen to all parts of the body. Iron helps maintain the health of red blood cells and muscle tissue. It supplies oxygen to working muscle cells by forming a protein called myoglobin in muscle tissue which also helps with muscle contractions. Iron also has many other jobs: helps make collage, helps in how the immune system works, is necessary for physical growth, neurological development, cellular functioning, and synthesis of some hormones. If you noticed from my last few corners, Vitamin-B12 and Folate deficiencies can both cause anemia, and they aren’t the only ones. Iron can also cause a type of anemia called microcytic hypochromic anemia, if too low. Unlike with Vitamin-B12 or Folate megaloblastic anemia, where blood cells are large; in microcytic anemia the blood cells develop smaller than normal and do not contain enough hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. This is also what gives blood its colour. Only a fraction of Iron we eat is absorbed by cells that line the gastrointestinal tract. Once absorbed the iron is released into the blood stream where transferrin, a protein, attaches to it and delivers the iron to the liver where it is stored as ferritin. It is released as needed to make new red blood cells in bone marrow. After about 120 days in circulation red blood cells are unable to function and are re-absorbed by the spleen.
Iron from these old cells can be recycled by the body. Iron can be toxic if you take or store too much. Most men will have enough stores if healthy. Women more than men, may need to supplement or will have lower stores, because of blood loss from monthly menstrual cycles. Other factors that can affect both genders are exercise intensity, diet, surgery, or gastrointestinal problems that can interfere with iron absorption. Below are certain populations that should consult with their doctor on their iron status. • Adolescent females and women of child-bearing age (due to blood loss from menstruation) • Women trying to conceive (deficiency has been linked to infertility) • Pregnant women (as they have to make up for their own increased blood volume as well as hemoglobin for the growing fetus - also a deficiency is linked to miscarriage, low birth weight and preterm labour) • Endurance athletes or athletes who train at high intensity (Athletes lose more iron due to heavy sweating as well as increased blood loss in the urine and GI tract. Red blood cells also break down more quickly in those who exercise). • Patients with a chronic disease (due to gastrointestinal disturbances) • Bariatric patients (less stomach acid due to surgery) • Older/senior patients 65+ (due to the lower stomach acid being formed) • *Vegetarians or people on dietary restrictions (non heme iron vs heme iron)
Non-heme iron. Food combinations to enhance iron uptake, what to avoid so as not to inhibit absorption, RDA’s, and the different supplements of iron, in next week’s corner. Make sure to follow DEEM Health Facebook Page. We are doing free classes for the month of May during this time of isolation. We want to help keep you healthy. Mikkie Nettles, Certified Personal Trainer/Holistic & Sports Nutritionist Follow DEEM Health on Facebook, or contact info@deemhealth.ca *Vegetarians, are vulnerable to iron deficiency, because the iron found in plant-based foods (called non-heme iron) is not as well absorbed as iron found in animal-based foods (heme iron). Even though vegetarians may eat many iron rich foods, there are many factors to those foods to whether or not the iron gets absorbed adequately. Many foods either bind the iron from absorption or other dietary sources inhibit absorption. Heme iron, on the other hand is pretty simple, absorption is high and it is not affected by other dietary sources, whenever it is eaten. Absorption of heme iron ranges from 15-35% whereas non-heme iron absorption is 2-20%.
RDNO Delays Food Scraps Ban to Offer Relief to Businesses
The RDNO Board of Directors has delayed the implementation of the food scraps ban for Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) organizations by six months to provide relief to North Okanagan businesses during this pandemic.
Diverting food scraps from landfills has many positive outcomes for our environment, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and the generation of valuable resources, like compost, that can provide benefits for our local communities. There are also opportunities for organizations to rethink their operations and find opportunities for cost savings in reducing the waste they generate. However, diverting food scraps is no small under-
taking for organizations. The process involves getting staff involved at every level of the organization as well as investment in collection equipment and developing logistics for transporting or processing food scraps to be composted. “While this is an important initiative to keep unnecessary waste out of our landfills, we acknowledge that businesses are facing complicated challenges from COVID-19. We hope this will be one less thing to worry about in the short term as we all adjust to the new normal,” said Kevin Acton, RDNO Chair. Another factor that led to this decision is that outreach and engagement with the affected organizations and is not possible with the COVID-19 restrictions. In addition to current delays for the ICI Food Scraps Disposal Ban Implementation, it is well understood that many organizations are facing immense challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to these concerns, a 6-month delay for the implementation plan and the expected initial enforcement period has been moved from July 1, 2021, to January 1, 2022.

Lumby adds new Bush Truck to Lifesaving Fleet The Lumby and District Fire Department has added a new bush truck to its fleet, which will serve the public in emergencies. The new truck is built to respond to wildland fires and is adaptable to other emergency calls. “This truck is replacing somewhat of a homemade solution for a bush truck. We had purchased a used pick-up truck quite a few years ago and added pumping capabilities to it. It wasn’t a permanent solution and wasn’t ideal, so we are happy to have been able to budget for and purchase a purpose-built bush truck,” said Tony Clayton, Fire Chief, Lumby and District Fire Department. The old truck will be sold once the firefighters are trained on the new one. “It’s important for us to be mindful of the equipment our Fire Departments require and to plan for years in the future. This truck was part of their long-term plan, so it’s always good news when a vehicle arrives after being budgeted and anticipated for years,” said Kevin Acton, Chair of the RDNO Board and Mayor of Lumby. “This new truck gives the Fire Department a versatile vehicle that is capable of responding in town, or out in the forest. It’s a great asset to add to their fleet,” said Rick Fairbairn, Director for Electoral Area D.

Laying The Groundwork For Tourism To Come Back Strongly
The tourism industry is a major economic engine and job creator for people in British Columbia. Despite the deep and sudden impacts of COVID-19 on the sector, B.C.’s tourism leaders were quick to put the greater good of our communities above anything else. To assist in the pandemic response, many hotels throughout the province swiftly transitioned from welcoming guests to creating safe shelter for frontline workers and people without a place to call home. Workers at the Vancouver Conference Centre sprang into action and transformed that facility into a temporary hospital. Destination marketing organizations pivoted to showcase their communities online and encouraged people to visit later. It’s this kind of leadership that has allowed our province to quickly get the pandemic under control and to start laying the groundwork for recovery. As minister responsible for tourism, I know that every corner of B.C. has incredible places to enjoy and explore – and that it’s the people who work in the
tourism and hospitality industry who make travel experiences so special. To help the industry be ready for recovery, we’re providing $10 million in grants to 59 community destination marketing organizations to support their efforts to show British Columbians the amazing travel opportunities available right here at home. In 2018, British Columbians spent an estimated $6.7 billion on international travel, excluding day trips to the United States. This is almost as much as the $6.9 billion international travellers spent in B.C. that
same year. Redirecting what we spend abroad toward the tourism sector in B.C. can be a strong first step towards recovery that will create jobs, support local economies and allow the sector to get back to being one of our province’s biggest economic drivers. Destination BC is also working hard to help the tourism sector recover through its three-phased marketing recovery plan: Response, Recovery and Resilience. Its #explorebclocal campaign invites people to explore local experiences and visit businesses close to home. We’re already seeing a groundswell of support from British Columbians to support local businesses – from choosing to shop main street via storefront pickup, to ordering made-in-B.C. products online, to cooking more at home using local ingredients. As we mark the beginning of Tourism Week, let’s all make a commitment and a plan to support B.C.’s tourism industry in 2020 and rediscover the beauty in our own backyards. You will be amazed at what’s right around the corner.
Most Campgrounds, Recreation Sites Opening Throughout The Province The 2020 summer camping season has arrived, giving people in B.C. more opportunities to get outside and connect with nature as most provincial campgrounds and recreation sites open June 1, along with more parks for day-use activities. To ensure British Columbians have access to camping opportunities close to home during the summer, new reservations can only be made by B.C. residents. People can now reserve a site two months in advance of their arrival date instead of four – a temporary measure to spread out the demand during the busy summer months. “Spending time appreciating nature is one of the

best things we can do for our health and well-being,” said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. “Camping provides the ideal opportunity to connect safely with family and friends in BC Parks beauty. We want to ensure British Columbians have access to summer vacation opportunities close to home, so we are limiting new reservations to B.C. residents. Our plan is to safely open as many parks as possible so that B.C. campers and day visitors can rediscover the wilderness beauty close to home.” Opening campgrounds safely to support public health guidelines means it will not be business as usual in some campgrounds. To allow physical distancing, fewer sites will be available in some campgrounds, there may be some changes to services and communal facilities, and some campgrounds will open at a later date. Hot springs, backcountry communal cabins and campgrounds that require visitors to use shared cooking facilities will remain temporarily closed, along with group campsites. As part of the ongoing campsite expansion program, the Province has also added 180 new campsites to BC Parks and recreation sites. Since 2017, more than 1,200 campsites have been added. “COVID-19 changed a lot of our travel plans this summer, but camping locally in BC Parks or recreation sites might be the break you need,” said Joss Penny, chair of the Camping and RVing Coalition BC. “I welcome the news of 180 new campsites in provincial parks and recreation sites to boost capac-
ity and to help ease some of the pressure of locating places to stay in high-demand locations.” As of May 25, the Discover Camping reservation system is back online to accept new reservations. Most existing reservations for dates after June 1 will be honoured, so campsites in popular campgrounds may already be booked. Some reservations may need to be cancelled due to reduced capacity at certain campgrounds. Those who are impacted will be advised of their cancelled bookings over the coming weeks. A list of changes to campgrounds will be posted on the BC Parks website. On June 1, additional parks will reopen for dayuse activities. Playgrounds, halls and picnic shelters remain closed in all provincial parks. The remaining parks that attract the largest crowds will only reopen when it is safe to do so, taking into consideration the safety of visitors and staff, impact on nearby communities and the protection of the environment. To ensure parks stay open and safe for everyone, visitors are expected to follow physical distancing requirements and will need to manage their own safety. If a park is too busy and physical distancing cannot be maintained, visitors using parks for dayuse activities are asked to find another outdoor space to enjoy close to home. Parks that remain temporarily closed are listed on the BC Parks website. People are advised to check the website often, as services and openings may change to align with the status of the COVID-19 response.

A LUMBY VILLAGE MYSTERY
The Case Of The Misplaced Murderer By Donna Easto The investigators regrouped over lunch to share what they'd learned. Sergeant Zander revealed that LaForest and Duggan weren't strangers to each other. Three years before moving to Lumby, they'd done time in jail for passing counterfeit money. The quality of the printing was poor; the money easily traceable. Their accomplice, the pressman, died suddenly before the police could arrest him. As near as Zander could determine, Sly and Albert, while not outstanding citizens, were now somewhat law-abiding. Constable Brown's questioning turned up no leads on the identity of the mysterious visitor in Sidney's room. Duggan was definitely not at the poker game. According to Pennington, he never joined in the games. Seems Albert had a regular business meeting Thursday evenings. John Wilson Murray reported his search of the Duggan farmhouse came up empty, but the barn was another matter. "I know I was only to investigate the house, but it kept nagging at me that we were missing something. In the barn, I found some nitric acid, pyrite crystals, and a small amount of what looked to be real gold. Our two victims were scheming fraud once again." Angus cut in, "That fits in with what the assay office in Vernon told me. Sidney LaForest brought in a small sample for assay about a week ago. He also registered his claim in partnership with Alfred Duggan. No surprise there. So, what can we surmise from all these threads, gentlemen...Zander?" "It's puzzling indeed. What we do know is that there had to be a third-person out there. But, who
There are a lot of different businesses opening up at this time. The Lumby Legion will possibly be opened at the end of June or beginning of July. Please keep checking Facebook, and or The Lumby Valley Times for the updates. You will see a lot of changes when you come through our doors, first of all there will be a hand sanitizer station when you first walk in the door please use this upon entering and exiting the building. We will be restricted of how many people at one time will be allowed. There will be no more than 6 people to a table, and no tables may be moved together as they are

and why? Was it his intention to kill both of them? Or, was Albert the target and Sidney, an unintended victim. Picture this: Sly hears a noise behind him, pulls his pistol, too slow - he takes a slug in the head. Duggan tries to reach the door and is shot in the back." "The assailant then takes the time to burn something. Betcha that paper is the key to all this." Angus added, "sorry, I couldna figure it out. Asked the stationer, he said it was medium quality. Like notepaper found in any hotel room." "There are three main motives behind murder," said John softly, "love, lust or loot." Constable Brown piped up, "my vote is loot. Probably already swindled some poor sap out of his money on their bogus gold mine. Trouble is, Maddie, not rising to the challenge, replied softly, nothing we've uncovered so far gives us a suspect." "Guarantee? Of course, I cannot. But, there's nothMaddie spoke up at last. "Don’t discount the ing to lose, is there? Oh Reggie, may I speak with you mystery visitor too easily. Some people know more privately after lunch? " than they're telling. You've not asked for my input, but NEXT: Conclusion: A Tangled Web I suggest we get everyone we've questioned together 1 Ton Dump Truck • Backhoe, at the hotel tomorrow. Further questions need to be asked”. Snow Plowing • Landscaping, Zander snorted, "pardon me, miss, but I think three Back Filling• Debris Removal police officers are better suited to decide how to solve this crime. After all, your most famous "cases" involve finding a pudding and a flock of turkeys." "Now, Sergeant, you underestimate Miss Arnold's FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED abilities. I support her suggestion. Mike Leach Zander sputtered, "This is highly irregular. You have no jurisdiction in this province. I asked you to witness the investigation simply as a courtesy to another law enforcement officer. Nevertheless, I will allow this most unusual request. It's not for you, Miss Arnold, but for Detective Murray that I do this. Can you guarantee results from such an unusual tactic?"
