Dad always had a love of music and can play almost any instrument, but his main love would be his Gibson guitar. Dad is an excellent marksman and has always had a love of guns. His yearly hunting trips were shared with family and friends and his two sons were taught at an early age to appreciate this as well. He worked on guns and made many beautiful gun stocks. Always willing to help, Dad would never say no to anyone in need. We are very thankful for our Dad's long and blessed life. Please join us in wishing him a very Happy 100th birthday. We love you Dad (Pa)! Submitted by the family,

Why Did The Tomato Blush?... Because It Saw The Salad Dressing!!!!
Blossom End Rot
With such a rainy start to our growing season many people are finding that the foliage on some plants is pale and that some of the early tomatoes are showing signs of Blossom End Rot. It is evident by a patch of dry sunken decay at the bottom of the tomato and is caused by a calcium imbalance in the plant. Tomatoes are not the only garden vegetable that can be affected by this condition, Peppers, Egg Plant, Cucumber, Squash and Melon fruits can also be affected. The damage begins when the fruit is about half its mature size and although it does not spread from fruit to fruit or from plant to plant, all affected fruit should be picked and discarded. Most of our garden vegetables require constant levels of moisture throughout the growing season and that is usually a good deep watering to a depth of about 6 inches twice a week. Fertilizers should be low in nitrogen and high in phosphorous and using mulch at this time with the increasing heat, will prevent rapid evaporation which will help maintain consistent soil moisture. Even if you are seeing the beginnings of this condition it doesn’t mean that the plant and its crop are a total loss. It is not a disease and can be remedied and the plant and future fruit will become productive. The PH of your soil may need to be adjusted at this time and may need to be boosted from an average of 6.2 to 6.5 to 6.5 to 6.8. This will assist the plant by
Valley First,
freeing up more calcium and is done by adding lime to the soil. Do use a soil test kit to ensure the PH of the soil first and then adding some lime to raise it. In a pail of 2.5 gallons of water add about 6 or 7 handfuls of pelleted or powdered lime and mix well. If you are growing in pots 2 to 3 cups of this mixture to each pot, if you are growing directly in the soil, use the 2 to 3 cups per square foot. This will ensure that the PH is not raised to high. You can also use a mixture of 1 cup Powdered Milk in a gallon of water and pour it around the drip line of your plants and then water in well. The calcium in the milk will help. Eggs Shells contain a lot of calcium but you will need lots and the effect takes some time. Its best to add the crushed egg shells to the planting hole when initially planting. Molasses is also high in calcium so a mixture of molasses and water can be used as well. Pelleted lime contains molasses and is easier to work with than the dusty, powdered lime you can get. Bone Meal also contains Calcium and is high in phosphorous which helps promote flowering. It also takes some time to break down in the soil so will provide relief over a steady period of time. You can sprinkle it into the soil at a rate of 1 tablespoon per square foot or 1 tablespoon per container. Be sure to work this into the top 2 inches of the soil so you won’t attract pets and or pests to dine on the bone meal. Epsom salts is good
for your plants but must be used in moderation, 1 to
2 teaspoons per gallon once a month is more than adequate. It will not help with blossom end rot and should be skipped if the rot does not clear up quickly. Epsom salts contains magnesium sulphate and that will compete with uptake of calcium ions to the plant. These are a few easy remedies for this condition there is also dedicated organic fertilizers available that can be purchased at gardening centres. I am pleased to announce that the Lumby and District Public Market will be opening on July 25th. We look forward to seeing you at the Oval here in Lumby. Happy Gardening!!

Make a Splash, Seniors It comes as no surprise that exercise is good for us and helps keep a body healthy and strong but for those of us that are aging, finding the right exercise that is beneficial and does not aggravate existing health problems, may not be as easy as it seems. Swimming is often the recommended exercise by physicians for aging adults. Many activities put strain on bones and joints that could lead to fractures or injuries. Exercising while partially or fully submerged does not put stress on bones and joints because the buoyancy of the water provides a cushion for movement. This buoyancy factor makes swimming one of the most injury free that suffer from osteoporosis or arthritis find that swimsports and a popular choice for seniors. Many people ming allows them to exercise longer and with less pain.

Affordable Housing Project Coming to Lumby
The Village of Lumby has partnered with Habitat for Humanity on an affordable housing project. In keeping with our Affordable Housing Strategy, adopted by Council in November 2017, the Village re-zoned Village owned property on Shields avenue adjacent to the OAP hall to allow for affordable housing. Since then, the Village has been in discussion with a developer, Habitat for Humanity Okanagan, on the site plan and the servicing requirements. Once an agreement was made, the non-profit housing organization announced the project. The first three units may be ready as early as next year and the servicing and roadway would be improved at that time as well. The community garden, which is used and valued by many residents, wouldn't need to be moved right away. Village representatives have discussed the development and rezoning with the WCRC (Whitevalley Community Resource Centre manages the plots for the garden) and they have provided input on a
couple of options including moving the community garden across the street beside the tennis courts or into a small parcel of agricultural land that the Village owns. We'll continue to explore those options with the stakeholders. Ideas, comments and suggestions can be forwarded at any time to the Village office. Habitat for Humanity has said they their next steps are community engagement, local fundraising, project financing and the process of family qualifications. We hope the community will continue to support the development of affordable and attainable home ownership in Lumby. Mayor Kevin Acton says, “I am pleased that affordable home ownership is one step closer for Lumby residents.”

Cravings
Although there is no exact explanation for cravings, there are some valid reasons to why we have them. Anywhere from conditional reasons too many theories. Some of the conditional reasons are being low or an imbalance in a certain vitamin or mineral. The triggers for this could be hydration or hormonal, as with pregnancy or menstruation. Another condition is called pica, which is referred

Personal Testimonial
Ask yourself some questions first: 1. Am I really hungry? 2. Did I eat nutrient dense foods today? 3. Did I eat in timed intervals or waited too long to eat? 4. Did I drink enough water today? 5. Am I getting enough exercise? 6. Am I lacking in a certain mineral or vitamin?

to as an eating disorder for non food sources as; dirt, chalk, paint chips, hair, ice…. Sometimes it is believed to be a mineral imbalance when linked to pregnancy or malnourishment, where iron is lacking. Sometimes cravings for certain types of food are linked to their ingredients. Chocolate for example, contains the neurotransmitter phenylethylamine, which is important for the regulation of the body’s release of endorphins. Another release of endorphins comes with glucose (sugar), a very prevalent craving for many. The reason for this is that the opioid receptors in the brain are a very addictive area, much like how alcohol or drugs are on the brain with addiction. Sugar has the same affect, hormones - specifically dopamine are released when glucose is present and it makes you feel good/happy. The trick is to have enough glucose to feed the brain but not overwhelm other systems of the body that control sugar. Another common craving is for savory foods, like in chips or movie popcorn. In these types of foods there is little to no nutritional density, just a rapidly digested source of energy that the body thinks it hasn’t got enough nutrients from, so you tend to be able to eat copious amounts. We don’t tend to eat this amount of vegetables in a sitting as they don’t get the same explosive-rapid response and because they are nutrient dense, our body tells us to stop eating. This is critical, you want your body to work for you, not against you. Once you move away from overly processed foods your taste buds will start to sense the natural sugar, salts and fats in foods, hopefully staving off cravings. All overly processed foods negatively overwhelm our body’s systems in one way or another, over time they create chronic disease; high bp, high cholesterol, dia-
Things you can answer to yourself or implement. 1. Yes, I am hungry I will try eating nutrient dense clean food first 2. I will drink a big glass of water then wait and see if I am still hungry 3. I really am going to blow it, I need to give in, but I will take only a serving size and make a more nutrient dense choice depending on the craving, such as: Dark chocolate, fruit, seaweed, multigrain tortilla chips, snack peas, low fat cheese…. 4. I will implement more variety of vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and clean proteins so I have satiety. 5. I will journal triggers to try rule out if I may be
The 2019 Annual Report for the Village of Lumby is now available to interested members of the public. This report includes the audited Financial Statements for 2019, a progress report on 2019, goals and objectives for 2020, as well as other financial reports.
I used to ask myself this question, that would often trouble my mind, what is the meaning of life, why am I so blind? Do we live and die and thats it, or is there a reason why I’m here, I didn’t do this very often, cause it would lead me into fear. I had an aunty name of Laura, when I was twelve years old, wrote a letter to my father telling him she got saved, saved from what, I wondered, maybe I need saved too, but I didn’t know what it meant, or what I had to do. At seventeen I got married and had two children with my wife, but at twenty one I divorced her, had no stability in my life. One day my ex-wife called my new wife to say our youngest daughter died, she had passed away, this really broke my heart And I just sat there and cried and as I sat in teary silence a voice came to my heart, saying, your daughter is here with me, and so can you, if you will only do your part,if I show you what to do. It comforted me and troubled me at the very same time, what must I do I wondered, why am I so blind. I got a job running skidder for a sawmill near our town, the crew were really nice guys who didn’t fool around. You could see the joy they carried and feel it in the air, and one day the foreman told me the reason I was there. He asked me if I’d like to get saved and receive eternal life. I said I’d think about it if I knew what to do, what was my part, I had to be true. He said it’s not church or religion or keeping certain laws but asking Jesus to come into your heart. He died on the cross, shed his blood for all my sins and they would be forgiven, if I would only let him in.
In accordance with Section 98 of the Community Charter, Council will be receiving submissions and questions from the public on the 2019 Annual Report at its Regular Meeting on Monday August 17, 2020 at 6:00 p.m.
I did it as he told me, within a couple of days I could sense his life in me, I knew that I was saved and now could really see I was no longer blind like I used to be.
Copies of the report are available for inspection at the Village Office, 1775 Glencaird Street, Lumby, BC Monday to Friday between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. We are closed daily from noon to 1:00 p.m. for lunch.
This is really good news, when they know what to do. We have a free will and are free to do our part, it’s really very simple, just ask Jesus into your heart. Now that you’ve received him, you have the father too, and the holy spirit now dwells inside of you.
Now I’ve had the privilege of leading others to new life, when they learn that god is love, and wants to save them too,

COLLEEN’S CORNER
By Colleen Fielding Welcome to Colleen’s Corner. This is a column meant for fun and some information About myself: I am a Freelance Photographer you often see me on the side of the road or in various places taking photos of different things animals, birds, places, people etc. l have lived in Lumby just over 8 years,you have seen my photos in the newspaper (Lumby Valley Times) and once in awhile in the Vernon Morning Star, and the Lumby Art Gallery. Photography is my passion. Disclaimer: The information on some of my photos that I write about a lot of times come from the Internet or books I research them, hopefully the facts are as close to the truth as I can come.
Welcome to the New World When we were kids, washing our hands constantly was not what we did. We played outside for hours, touching everything. If it was raining, we would stay inside, and played. When it was dinner time we came in and washed up before dinner, or after using the bathroom (that was a must). My mom cleaned the house all the time, once a week you would walk in and smell the very strong smell of bleach obviously it was laundry day. While doing the laundry she would use a cloth to wipe down certain things with bleach mixed with water. Was she doing this to sanitize things? Nope, she was just doing this to clean the kitchen. (Bleach called Chlorine in 1774 was created by a Swedish chemist by the name of Karl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1785 a French Chemist by the name of Claude Berthollet showed the world the Bleaching Properties of this chemical called Chlorine.) We rarely got sick, sure we had some colds, flus, chicken pox and other childhood things, we got well again and went back to what we were doing before, playing in the rain, dirt, mud, riding our bikes, playing tag, etc. We would go our neighbor's houses and they would come to ours. Sometimes it was for just a visit, a dinner, a party or whatever. Everyone would hug, or shake hands. The parents would be in one room and we would be in another. Sometimes, there were card games and other board games to be played, sometimes there was dancing, and sometimes it was just a movie night, but whatever we did there was never social distancing. There were times when we went to the stores, sometimes for food, if we went to the grocery store our list would be, meat, eggs, bread, butter, milk, etc. Sometimes we went for clothes or whatever. Still
we touched everything. Nowhere were we ever told to wash our hands constantly, or to sanitize our hands, as we never even heard of hand sanitizer at that time. (Hand Sanitizer was created in 1966 by a student nurse that had lived in Bakersfield California his name was Lupe Hernandez) When coming home from shopping we would just put the groceries away, not once did we ever think to wipe them down with a Lysol wipe (Lysol is a bigname brand that has been in households for what seems like forever. Lysol was first introduced in 1889 by Gustav Raupenstrauch. Lysol wipes did not appear on the scene until 2000.) People of all ages, race, and cultures, would be shopping beside you and talking to you. No one wore a mask or gloves (unless it was winter then everyone was bundled up.) How things have changed since we were kids! Now before we leave the house, we are washing and sanitizing our hands. We carry sanitizer, masks, and gloves in our car (I also have some in my purse.) We enter or exit stores and we sanitize our hands. We use Lysol wipes to wipe down the carts just in case they have not already been done. Our shopping lists now contain the words Bleach* Lysol Wipes* Hand Sanitizer* Household Sanitizer* then farther down on the list is the food we need. When we return to our car, we use our little sanitizer bottle to sanitize our hands again just in case we touched something else on the way to the car. When we return home, we use our Lysol wipes to wipe down the groceries before putting them away.
We no longer do our favorite things like visiting our friends without social distancing. We don't shake their hands, or give them a hug, even though sometimes they or us may need one. We don't go out dancing with other people (I really miss that) or go to the movies. We no longer go where large crowds will be even if it is a Wedding, a Funeral, or a Celebration of Life. It is a very different world we live in now, and although some things have changed, we can still go out into our backyards, on our porches, or where ever and we can still enjoy the sunshine, or watch the birds fly high in the sky. We can still see the moon and the beauty of nature in all its glory. One thing to remember in all of these changes that we now live by is we are definitely becoming more respectful of others around us, and a very clean, society.

The attached piece was done by 14 year old BriannaSue Arsenault (Anderson) who had posted the image on "a World of Hearts" Facebook page. As BriannaSue says, "Hope among Sadness". Robin Ledrew painted the above art because she was really missing her friend. The flower crown represents the hope and beauty her words meant to me that day, the tears represent the sadness I was feeling. She hopes BriannaSue inspires others to enter their works of art in this show.
New relief fund helps non-profits & ‘all the other businesses’
North Okanagan small businesses & non-profits can apply for Regional Relief and Recovery Fund’s loans of up to $40,000 to cover expenses incurred during COVID-19 The rent while doors were closed. The cleaning supplies. The fees to create an online store. These are just some of the COVID-19 operating expenses some small businesses and non-profit organizations can now receive lending for through the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF). The federal fund provides loans of up to $40,000 to non-profits and small and medium-sized businesses that were negatively impacted by COVID-19, and have costs that have not been covered by other COVID-19 supports. Expenses incurred during this period that are eligible include lease payments, rent, salaries and benefits, property taxes, utilities, bank charges and interest, office supplies,
vehicle supplies and more. The RRRF repayment terms include no interest and no payments through to Dec. 31, 2022. If 75 per cent of the loan is repaid by Dec. 31, 2022, the remainder is forgiven. Payments begin January 2023 and loans must be repaid by Dec. 31, 2025 and there are no prepayment penalties. Scot McNair, Business Loans Advisor at CFNO, says he’s looking forward to helping local organizations and ‘mom and pop’ stores get back on their feet. “The RRRF really targets many of those family businesses as well as non-profits that are a big part of our community, and we’re glad to be able to bring them this support,” says McNair, adding he encourages businesses to apply soon as they are expecting many applications and the RRRF funds are limited. To learn more about the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund, and to apply, visit https://www.futuresbc.com/ regional-relief-and-recovery-fund/ For more information, contact Scot McNair at 250-545-2215 Ext. 249.
Spilled Load at FreshMart
Photos by Kimberley Hutton With a loud bang it all came tumbling down. Some damage to the curb, lamp post, possibly one or two cars and of course the trailer, but with some skill and a little luck, that seems to be the extent of the damage. Thankfully there were not any shoppers or pedestrians in the immediate area when the reach on the logging truck’s trailer broke.

RDNO Offers Free Irrigation System Check-ups that could Save you Money July is a great time to get your irrigation system tuned up in preparation for the summer heat. To help residents match their irrigation efforts to their yard’s water needs, Greater Vernon Water, a service of the Regional District of North Okanagan, is introducing its WaterWise Yard Check-Up program. Greater Vernon Water customers can book a FREE Yard Check-Up with our Water Ambassador. She will run through your irrigation system with you, map out your hydrozones, test your soil, and help you program your irrigation controller. Our Water Ambassador can also provide suggestions on WaterWise plant choices and maintenance techniques that can help you use less water. In the Okanagan, 24% of the water we use each year goes onto our lawns and gardens. Using water more efficiently outdoors will help prevent summer watering restrictions by adapting our yards to our naturally arid climate.
You could be saving hundreds of dollars on your water bills annually by taking the time to get to know your controller and cutting back during the cooler, wetter months. It’s easy to forget to re-program irrigation controllers once they’re set up in the spring. Many controllers are set to provide the water needed during the hottest days of summer, to protect your plants, but this isn’t necessary every day. Check-Ups are a great time to test out sprinklers and hunt for leaks. During last year’s WaterWise Yard Check-Up program, an appointment with one irrigation system revealed three leaks and an extra sprinkler head hiding underneath a hedge. Another customer found out they were running their system every day when they thought it was only going once a week – their water use dropped by 75% after their Check-Up. Book today or find out more about the program by contacting our Water Ambassador at 250-550-3798 or emailing waterwise@rdno.ca

Am I Crazy?!
What do Howie Mandel, Steve Young (former NFL QB), Donny Osmond, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Lady Gaga all have in common? They have all come forward about their mental illness. Many people run from this subject like their hair is on fire! When they hear the term ‘mental illness’ they think of ‘crazy Bob’ who walks alone down the street giggling hysterically, yelling or talking to himself. The social stigma of mental illness is real but let me be blunt - it is wrong. The world is experiencing some challenging times right now… Have you been sad and struggling to
manage day-to-day? Have you ever felt anxious and unable to sleep because of racing thoughts? Well who hasn’t? Are YOU ‘crazy’? The American Psychiatric Association (APA) states that “Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or behavior (or a combination of these). Mental illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities. Mental illness is common.” It affects one in four Canadians. But where are all these people you ask? They live next door, they drive beside you, and they may even be a family member at some point. They look and act like anyone else. If you found yourself saying “I’m not going to any counsellor - I’m no nutcase!” First of all – you just admitted that Welcome Back to the Lumby and District Public Market. We are delighted to see you all again: It is finally happening, our Lumby & District Public Market will be opening this Saturday July 25 2020 at the Oval Park. Our Hours will be 9:00 am - 1:00 pm I know it has taken awhile, but you know what they say: Good Things Come to Those That Wait. We will have Fruits, Vegetables, Crafts, Flowers, Bannock, Photography, etc. Some of the Vendors that have been there before, and you will see some New Vendors as well. Hand Sanitizing stations available for your use, please use these when entering and exiting the Market Grounds. Ropes and pylons in places, to help you pass through our market safely. Signs about social distancing, at the sanitizing sta-
you do talk to yourself and second if you feel you need help then why hesitate? “But what will people think!? This is a small town and people talk you know!” I was living in a small town many years ago when the stigma was huge in my own head, leaving little room for clear thinking. I sweated for weeks about seeing the town counsellor. Visiting the dentist for a root canal without freezing sounded more appealing. But my depression stuck like gum on my shoe for months and I could not shake it. I had no energy, could not concentrate and felt like a wet sack of hammers buried in a ton of mud. My hope and joy for life had long evaporated. People quipped “get over it!” They were clueless. Guilt tormented me. It was decision time. So, I mustered my muddied mind and I stealthily drove to the counsellor’s office. I parked down the street and prayed fervently that no one would recognize either me or my car. Walking as panicked as to a toilet paper sale during COVID, I arrived and darted inside the office doors breathing a sigh of relief. My chin dropped to the floor as I stood face to face with my pastor’s daughter - the counselor’s receptionist Busted! So I get it. What others think and say about us may affect our decision to get help. But if you are drowning emotionally wouldn’t a real friend throw you a lifeline instead of a rock? Caring means compassion not criticism. Helping yourself means you can eventually throw a friend a line because you’ve been there. Mental Illness is just as treatable as heart disease or diabetes. There is hope for you if you struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma, PTSD, grief, addiction, abuse, anger or so many other issues. At Whitevalley Community Resource Centre where counselling is free (yes free!), you can speak to nonjudgmental, qualified professionals who are bound ethically to confidentiality. Our doors and our hearts are open. We are here to help… You can contact us by calling 250 547-8866, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm. tions and at each vendors booth. Interior Health states you will not be able to taste test any food or drink of any kind. If you do not feel well, please refrain from coming to the market.

OBITUARIES
George Raymond Cover January 29, 1938 - July 9, 2020
On July 9th, George Raymond Cover (Ray) also known as Gorgeous George by many, departed on a fishing adventure to join his buddies Reay, John and Rattlesnake Jim. Ray was born in Vernon and spent the majority of his 82 years in the Lumby area including childhood homesteads in the hills above Lumby and the Kedleston area. Ray worked as a saw filer for 30 years at the Weyerhaeuser mill property in Lumby. Many good times were had rescuing people out of mudholes with his winch and trusty old red ford as well as searching for secret lakes that the “big one” could be hiding in! He enjoyed driving the many logging roads in search of huckleberries and firewood with his family. He leaves behind his wife Dawn, children Donald Cover, Debbie Cover (Dominique), Laurie Rawlek (Ritchie), Heather Dutcher (David) and his grandchildren Tracy (Vince), Amber (Eric), Jeremy (Lauren), Melanie (Kevin), Kyle, Brenten (Shelby), Perry, Ryan (Karinna), Sidney (Mittchell) and his great grandchildren Emil, Anna, Isaac, Everest, Rauri, Maeva, Raegan, Jameson, Macy, Nash, his sister Marjorie French, brother Darwin Cover (Fuji), many nieces and nephews and his ice fishing buddy Tony Gutenberg. He was predeceased by his father Fernando (Ferd) Cover and his mother Verna as well as his step father Engel Ganzeveld and brother Jerry. In memory of Grandpa, we will be sure to pass down the humorous riddles and jokes for the future generations. No service is to be held at the request of Gorgeous George.

WANTED - CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
(still need more help in conquering the world!)
I live in the trailer park 4 miles out Mabel Lake Rd. I’ve been a Christian over 45 years. I’ve attended many different churches and denominations but found that home fellowships are the most uplifting. Romans 16:3 - 5 says, “Greet Priscilla & Aquila and greet the church that is in their house.” The church is where two or three are gathered together in the name of Jesus. He says, “there am I in their midst”. This is an invitation to anyone who would like to fellowship with me at my place. Contact me, Ed Watson, at 250-547-1484
