BE KIND, BE CALM, BE SAFE Local artist, Linda Kuraoka, answered the call put forth by the Monashee Arts Council last month for pandemic art with her tribute to BC’s Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry. The artistic interpretation made using paper mache and a body form (typically used for sewing projects) is one of 25 pieces on display at The Village Gallery for the current art show “Beyond the Mask: A Collection of Pandemic Quarantine Art 2020”. Linda’s artist’s statement gives some insight into the impact our Provincial Health Officer has had on her during the evolution of these pandemic times: Title: BE KIND, BE CALM, BE SAFE “Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health officer for BC

You know you're a cat person if... • For you, “picking out new furniture” means going to our site and browsing the latest cat trees in search of a deluxe model for your precious fe-lions to climb, scratch, play and snooze on. • You own at least three lint- or hair-removal tools to get the cat hair off the sofa, your clothes, your car seat… • It’s 3 a.m., and instead of being tucked away in your bed, you’re stumbling toward the cat food bag on autopilot. • You chuckle about the idea of people subscribing to cat magazines, but you’ve flipped through a few of them “just to see” when no one was looking. • It’s an unwritten rule that if a cat is sleeping in your lap, you don’t move. The bathroom will just have to wait. • You know there is no such thing as “private time”. Bathroom, shower, nap, it doesn’t matter – they will find you. You rarely close doors because it’s just a waste of time. • Black (or white) clothing is no longer a functional part of your wardrobe because of the amount of cat hair that sticks to it.

How Do You Throw A Party In Space?... You Planet!!!!
The Petunia Another wonderful market filled with many new vendors and our wonderful clientele. Many new people were out shopping and all people respectfully followed the guidelines that have kept us all safe. The weather too was delightful, although there were many who suggested a fall like feeling especially first thing in the morning. Although the temperatures have been a little lower than norm and a respite from the mid thirty heat wave that we had previously endured, summer is far from over. A question brought to my attention certainly sparked some interest regarding one of the most popular summer flowers available. This delightful woman was concerned with a failure of the petunias in her hanging baskets and despite loving attention continues to plaque this poor hanging basket. Even research done by herself failed to point to a single culprit or a ready answer. Although the petunia is very hardy and has few pest and diseases there are a few things that can affect them. Research has provided me with a few ideas and of course a wealth of interesting information on this highly attractive and popular plant. The Petunia was first discovered by the French in the mid 1700s in South America but it was a far cry from the plant we enjoy today. It is a member of the family of the Nightshade family. This family also includes plants like tobacco, potatoes, tomatoes and the chilly pepper to name a few. The Incas believed that the fragrance of the Petunia wards off monsters and evil spirits and made a magical drink from the buds of the flowers. The Petunia became popular in Europe in the 1880’s and in the early 1900’s Japanese and German botanists created what we now know as the Petunia we know and love. With the advent of garden centres in the 1950’s the Petunia became a favourite flower in the North American market place. The Petunia as with all other flowers has meaning, if one is inclined to put stock in this other than it being a beautiful gift to receive and to give. It can mean that you are comfortable with the person you give it to and wish to spend time with them or it can mean anger
and resentment which I personally don’t think many people actually give gifts to people who invoke such feelings. It was also believed that they only thrive in positive energy and will not in a place of negative energy. The Petunia is also is a long lasting cut flower which I will be investigating immediately as some of the colours that have been developed are stunning! But back to the problems that can develop with the plants, one of the basic and most influential problems is the amount of sunshine that the plant gets. It needs at least 5 or 6 hours of full sun. If it does not receive this it will become spindly This will require a pruning and move to a place that will give it this basic requirement. Water, if it is in a basket should be frequent while if it in a border or as ground cover, a weekly deep watering should suffice. Watch for a drooping of leaves for guidance, once watered it should bounce back nicely as it is quite drought resistant. It should never become water logged, it needs good drainage. If planted in the ground it should receive a balanced fertilizer higher in phosphates that in nitrogen, that being the middle number. Bone meal is an excellent choice at it slowly releases the required feed, is organic, inexpensive and has the balance needed to ensure proper growth and flowering. Pruning is another matter as midsummer the plant may become spindly and should be cut back to encourage branching and new flowers. Some people tend to just pull off the spent blooms however I find that this will not encourage new blooms as the sole purpose of a plant is too produce seed and then its basic function is done. Removing the seed pod at the branch will be revitalizing to the plant. Few pests in the way of bugs will do damage or spread disease these being thrips, aphids, slugs and the bud worm caterpillar. This last one you

will not see but it will affect plants in late June and July and then disappear. The evidence of its being there will be black droppings and small holes in the leaves. As this woman and I have determined her problems plant if probably the cause of a viral or bacterial problem which was either spread by insects or earlier in its life by the soil it was planted in, soiled hands or infected cutters or surfaces that it came in contact with. Damage to the plant can allow it to become infected as well as the holes left by insects feeding upon the plant. Little can be done once the plant is infected. One can remove the plant or seemingly infected parts but by then the disease like mosaic or verticulum wilt. Do not put this soil or foliage in your compost. Soil that contains these pests must be sterilized if it is to be used again and try to keep the leaves and flowers dry when watering as this could spread it too if the Petunias are in boarders or are ground coverage. I hope this helps. Happy Gardening! Samantha Nason BS Ranch & Greenhouses 250 547 6567 samanthanason@hotmail.com

The Menopausal Years: Depression
by Donna Easto, C.H., H.C., M.H., Certified Herbal Educator Depression is defined as a depressed mood, loss of pleasure in activities (or life), or loss of interest in nearly all activities that has persisted for at least two weeks. It may be accompanied by sadness, feeling “down”, anxiety, agitation, irritability, anger, social withdrawal, guilt, helplessness, hopelessness, physical complaints, obsessive thoughts or fears, fatigue, loss of energy, and problems with sleep or appetite. That list is enough to depress you! Other factors associated with depression in menopause include hot flashes, sweats and insomnia. If you wake feeling “down” you may be experiencing a form of a depressive disorder associated with diurnal (your body’s daily clock) mood variation. A basic blood test for thyroid function, vitamin B12 and B6 levels, kidney function, blood sugar, and liver function might be in order. In my previous article we discussed hot flashes and
sweats. Today, let’s focus on insomnia. It’s not coincidental that many of the herbs used to treat insomnia also address other concerns related to menopause. For example, hops may be used to relieve anxiety and hot flashes. California poppy might help with restless legs. Note that iron-deficiency may be linked to restless leg syndrome, a simple test of your iron and ferritin levels will help rule out anemia. Adaptogens have a long history of use in restoring a healthy balance of life. Ashwagandha in particular is a gentle restorative that’s preferable for people with insomnia. It can be used singly for insomnia, irritability and anxiety and other nervous conditions, but is often taken along with a nervine supplement such as lavender, or an anxiolytic such as chamomile for maximum effect. Ashwagandha may also be useful in some cases of restless leg syndrome. Here’s a simple and tasty tea that you can drink Continued on page 8

BBQ - Healthy or NOT!
This is a topic that could’ve been touched on as early as April but it was a bit of a wet summer and it just seemed to come upon us all at once - just recently. Along with this brings the outdoors in all of us – even if it’s just cooking outside on the BBQ or over a camp- 9. fire. There are many social aspects around this way of 8. cooking and the fact that it takes places outdoors gives much pleasure. Not to be the bearer of bad news but there can be some disturbing downsides to our health 7. if precautions not taken. But let’s break it down. 6. Benefits: • Reduces fat in foods by grilling or BBQ • Tastes yummy! 5. Health Concerns: • PAH’s 4. • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons • PAH’s form when fat from the meat drips onto the hot coals or grill element. • HCA’s • Heterocyclic amines 3. • HCA’s are produced when red meat, poultry and fish are cooked using high-heat 2. So what’s the problem? Other than the loaded calories and highly saturated fats that can be ingested from firing up very-high fat meats like smokies or sausages, but even worse are the carcinogens formed when barbecuing. HCAs and PAHs have been found to be mutagenic— meaning, they cause changes in dna that may increase the risk of cancer. HCAs are not found in significant amounts in foods other than meat cooked at high temperatures. PAHs however, can be found in other charred foods, as well as in cigarette smoke and car exhaust fumes. Unfortunately, that yummy charring that forms on meat can contain PAHs But don't despair, grill lovers -- a new, healthy way to grill is possible. Top 10 tips for safer BBQ foods while still reducing fat, keeping the food yummy, heart healthy and fun! 10. Boil or microwave to pre-cook meat
prior to exposure to high temperatures this can reduce HCA formation by reducing the time that meat is in contact with high heat to finish cooking. Clean your BBQ before cooking. Avoid direct exposure of meat to an open flame or a hot metal surface and avoiding prolonged cooking times. Flip! Continuously turning meat over can substantially reduce HCA formation. Remove charred portions of meat and refraining from using gravy made from meat drippings can also reduce HCA and PAH exposure. Limit the amount of fat that drips, use lean cuts, trim visible fat and skin. Marinate with fat-free or low-fat marinades to limit the fat that drips on the coals. THE GUTTER GUY In some studies, this has shown to reduce Gutters, Soffits, Fascia.... the formation of HCAs by as much as 92% And more to 99% in some studies, but don’t baste. Skewer it – this will cut down on grilling Ph: (250) 503-7456 Jason Wadsworth time as you will have smaller pieces to cook. #3 - 1711 Kalamalka Rd Owner Substitute or add!

COLLEEN’S CORNER
www.lumbyvalleytimes.ca
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.
Let's Go Camping in Style When I was a kid, we would see this big wonderful machinery going by. I would ask my mom what they were. She would tell me "that they were for rich people to go camping." I thought "hey, that's what I want to do." I would ask my mom if we could get one. The answer was always "no, we are not rich." If and when we went camping, (which was very, very rare) it was in a tent. YUCK! If I went to a summer camp then I was usually lucky enough to get a cabin (hooray). But still sometimes going to the summer camps I had to tent it. As time passed and I was out on my own, I would go camping with my friends, again it was in a tent. (Double Yuck) I know some people like to go camping in a tent, but that is just not for me. Give me a cabin or an RV anytime and yup I am happy to go camping. Did you know that RV's were first thought of around 1901? The name " Motor Home" did not come into effect until 1959. Becoming very popular by around 1910. A motor magazine in 1909 showed a car pulling a trailer, this was equipped with beds, a kitchen with running hot and cold water. Eventually in 1910 instead of pulling a trailer they took a Packard truck which weighed 3 tons, and put a trailer on top of it. This make shift motor home which looked like the
something from the Beverly Hillbillies T.V. show was 28 feet long, 61/2 feet wide, slept 11 people, had an icebox, a toilet, and a salon. This mode, and others like it were used up until about 1924. In 1915 "the Gypsy Van" was created, this luxury model was built to look like an English Manor house weighing in at a whopping 8 tons. Refrigerators, Kitchenettes, Toilets, Running Water, Showers, and or Bathtubs, Telegraphs, and Electric Lighting were often found in these modernized motor homes. By the year 1917 the first 5th wheel came along. In 1923 the Ford company had built the Nomad House on top of the Model TT. 1927 Leonard S Whittier used an old bus chassis to make his RV. This RV contained wicker chairs, a couple of bookcases, a sink, an Eletric stove, and a septic tank. By the 1930ès Motor Homes were even more popular, from very tiny to very large. 1936 Glen Curtis an aircraft designer created the Aerocar. This magnificent machine that looked like an airplane slept 4 and could carry a great amount of supply water. In 1937 the Teardrop Shaped trailer was born this tiny motor home could only sleep 2. Every Woman. Every Occasion. Every Day. 1938 saw a company build the first 50-foot 5th wheel built from a semi- trailer, this large camper had an observation deck on the back, a wine cellar, electricity, toilets, running water, and everything else. Colleen Fielding World War ll, came along, productions on the Independent Distributor motor homes stopped as the trailers were needed for other things. Once the War ended production began 250-547-7942 again. lcolleen3@gmail.com Howard Hughes, had 8 luxurious RVs built to colleenfielding.gelmoment.com be used as dressing rooms for his stars. This contain Mahogany walls, full bathrooms, refrigerators, stoves, and even air conditioning. 1942 the US Military bought thousands of Motor Homes that had the name of Palace Expando, this 2611 Hwy #6, Lumby, BC was equipped with everything, it also expanded on Store: 250-547-1463 or Uwe 250-470-8276 both sides. and this would be where they house the OPEN Monday to Saturday: 9am to 5pm military men and their families. THIS WEEK’S SPECIALS (FRIDAY TO THURSDAY) 1946 saw an elaborate motor home-built by ChevSeasoned Beef Patties ......$5.99/lb rolet. This motor home would be stared at, and stopped by curious people where ever it went. It was Bavarian Smokies........$1.79/100 gr 30 feet long, looking like it was built out of a very Mediterranean Head Cheese ...$1.69/100 gr expensive wood. It had electric lights, and 3 rooms. The early 50's saw the motor homes becoming more DAILY IN-STORE BEEF SPECIALS and more larger in length and luxury. They all conAll our product is Gluten and Dairy Free tained bathrooms, some had an upstairs, kitchens, MADE IN HOUSE AND SMOKED THE OLD FASHION WAY and plumbing were a must. Some of them even had
separate bedrooms. 1952 saw the Executive Flagship. This went beyond luxury. The Flagship was 65 feet long, weighing 18 tons, had 10 wheels. This huge vehicle had 2 bathrooms, wall to wall carpet, a 21-inch TV, and it also had a portable pool with a diving board. Believe it or not, this Motor Home retailed for $ 75,000. (that was a lot of money in the early 50's wow! I wasn't born in the early 50's , but it is no wonder that my mom thought that you had to be rich to own one) 1955 brought out the two-story Motor Home. This had two bedrooms upstairs, the Master Bedroom was downstairs with a bathroom, kitchen, etc. this one slept 8 people. 1958 here comes the Winnebago. At first the company had only been designing furniture for travel trailers. The Actual first Winnebago was not made until 1966. This is where their name became famous for Motor Homes. They were also sold at half the price of other motor homes making them very popular. In 1959 the Shasta travel trailer was built. This little camper that you pulled behind your vehicle was a great hit. Do you remember the Volkswagen Camper vans? They came out in 1967. Already having the popular Volkswagen cars introduced in the early 60's, why not go with the flow and make a camper van. They had electrical hookups ready to be plugged in at a campsite. They had pop up tents; they were pretty cool looking. I remember my friend's dad had one, they went camping a lot in it, and when they were not using it, we used it for our playhouse. Some of there are still pretty expensive for me, but boy oh boy they sure are pretty. Now a days the Motor Homes have everything you could ever want. Some people live in theirs all year round. Whatever Motor Home you have, whether you live in it or not, enjoy it. Happy Camping Everyone

Vernon, BC, Dentist’s New High-Tech ‘Relaxation Suite’ Provides Sessions for Cancer Patients

NuCalm is a cutting-edge stress-relief system that Dr. Kalinski uses daily herself to decompress, and in her practice, Aesthetic Dental Clinic (dr@aestheticdentalclinic.com), to help patients deal with dental anxiety. She has four units in her office operatories. In the new suite, patients will also benefit from a lounging chair and an essential oil diffuser. The unit was donated by Solace Lifesciences, maker of NuCalm (www.nucalm.com). Because of Dr. Kalinski’s extensive use of the award-winning, patented system, she attained accreditation as a Certified NuCalm Provider (CNP), one of only three in all of Canada. In the past decade, the system has proven its effectiveness as over 2,000 dentists have used it successfully with some 1.5 million patients on four continents. The four-part system involves a topical cream, micro-current stimulation, neuroacoustic software/music, and an eye mask. There are no sideor after-effects. Cancer depletes the body’s resources, resulting in mental and physical stressors. Dr. Kalinksi says, “When a person learns they have cancer, often they become stressed, fearful and confused. They can’t relax. The body’s resulting stress response allows the cancer to take over, even accelerate the depreciation. The field of psychoneuroimmunology is now looking at alternative ways to target cancer with a bigger focus on mental and emotional factors. NuCalm can help alleviate some of the psychological and physiological effects and improve one’s quality of life by putting the brakes on the stress response, giving the person peace of mind, clarity, balance and improved sleep quality.”
An internationally renowned expert on the connection between psychoneuroimmunology and cancer, Janet Hranicky, Ph.D., has added NuCalm to her arsenal to help patients cope with and fight cancer. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Hranicky, has taught thousands of cancer patients how to cope and trained thousands of healthcare professionals in innovative therapies. She says, “The more we can help people down-regulate stress physiology, the more we can help up-regulate the immune system and other healing mechanisms.” Asked how her dental patients react to NuCalm, Dr. Kalinski says she asks each one if they would like to begin their appointment with a 20-minute free session. About 50% say ‘yes.’ Perhaps most telling, 90% of prior users request it on successive visits. Last year, upon learning of one patient’s health care job burnout and ensuing inability to function in normal daily activities (a form of PTSD), Dr. Kalinski arranged for her to receive – at no charge - her own NuCalm system. Months later, that patient said it was surprising to learn more about coping with stress from her dentist than from other medical professionals. Today the patient says, “Finally I was no longer totally shut down. I’m able to contribute to society – no longer locked in a ‘fight-flight-freeze’ cycle of paralysis.” More recently, an elderly woman who was distraught and depressed, stressed due to health and family issues, became a new patient and agreed to try NuCalm. After a few sessions, the woman experienced better self-esteem, is more relaxed and living life again, Now the woman comes to the office, not for a dental appointment, but for a NuCalm session. “She fixes her hair, puts on lipstick – she’s a different person,” Dr. Kalinski smiles. Word is spreading near and far. Dr. Kalinski says, thanks to a referral, a man drove from Vancouver for a NuCalm session – a six-hour drive -- to address his stress and health issues. In addition to treating cancer patients in the Relaxation Suite, to meet demand, Dr. Kalinski, for patients and non-patients, started a ‘Punch Pass’ program: One 30-minute session costs $55. A 10-visit pass costs $32.50 per visit. Dr. Kalinski, mother of two grown sons, graduated from the University of Saskatchewan and is an alumna of the world-famous LVI Global where she first tried NuCalm and bought one on the spot. She is continually upgrading her knowledge to offer patients whole-body care solutions. She enjoys walks, yoga, gardening, painting, and spending time with family and friends. Husband Scott is an industrial mechanic working for the oil industry in Alberta.

Submitted by Colleen Fielding Our feature vendor this week is a lovely lady by the name of Carla Rivere. Carla lives in Coldstream, and makes beautiful jewelry out of Crystals and Stones. When Carla was a young girl, she was fascinated by stones even then. She would go up into the mountains looking for the different Stones and Crystals. Finding the different ones was always exciting to her. She became a French Emersion teacher, from which she is now retired. The thoughts of the Stones and the Crystals never left her. She was drawn to them; at times she could hear them calling to her. After retiring from the French Emersion classes, Carla began to work in a Metaphysical store. Arriving in the store, she knew that she be- At the Metaphysical store Carla learned of the longed working with the Crystals and Stones Carla different properties that each Stone and Crystal can was right, they had been calling to her. provide.
Hello Pool Players; Our pool table is now open. It has changed a bit, but still fun to play on. We are now charging .50 cents a game; we have a little box in the pool room to put the money in. This will help to pay for a new pool table cloth, and other pool table repairs. Get the pool balls at the bar from the bartender. All players must bring their own cues, chalk, and wear a glove on the hand that touches the table. At this time, we are unable to have more than six players so there will not be any tournaments. Play with the people in your "Bubble" After each game the balls should be replaced with the spare set so that they can be sanitized. The pool table can be wiped down with a sanitized wipe. If you don't have your own chalk, you may purchase it at the bar.

LOCAL & REGIONAL NEWS
BC Schools NOT Opening on September 8th On Tuesday, August 11, Rob Fleming, B.C. Education Minister, reported that the date of September 8, 2020 for the students in grades K to 12 to be returning to school will be pushed back. A new opening date for the students to return to school has not yet been determined. Minister Fleming said that a formal announcement from the province
will be in about a weeks time. The idea is to get staff back together, whether it’s support staff, teachers and administrators, to finalize how the school operations are going to work, [undergo] a thorough review of the CDC health and safety guidelines and then start to accept students back later in the first week of school. Discussions are ongoing.
Applying for temporary layoff extensions reminder Workers and employers who need to extend temporary layoffs beyond the Aug. 30, 2020, expiry date are reminded to apply for a variance using the Employment Standards Branch’s new online application by Aug. 25. “I urge any employers who think they need to extend temporary staff layoffs further, to please read the information we have online and reach out if you have any questions,” said Harry Bains, Minister of Labour. “We have made the application process simple and easy to use and there are ministry staff available to help guide an employer through the process or answer any questions.” In July 2020, the Ministry of Labour launched a simplified variance application process to help businesses navigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic more easily. Employers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. An application deadline is set for Aug. 25, 2020, for workers and employers to jointly apply for an extension, to ensure that all applications will be processed by the Aug. 30 expiry date. “As one of the first employers to use the new online tool, I very much appreciated having the support of staff to guide me through the process,” said Stan Walt of Chances Kelowna. “The variance application has been easy to use and easy to understand. I feel well supported as we plan our path to
economic recovery.” The new two-step online application simplifies and streamlines the process for employers and workers to jointly apply for an extension by allowing documents and signatures to be submitted electronically. First, employers must reach out to their workforce to ensure they have more than 50% support from workers before applying. Workers will receive information about the variance, including their rights under the Employment Standards Act, and will be able to voice their support using the online tool. Once worker support is documented, employers can complete the online form and submit directly to the Employment Standards Branch. Under B.C.’s Employment Standards Act, temporary layoffs related to COVID-19 can last up to 24 weeks, or until Aug. 30, 2020, before the layoff becomes permanent. Government encourages employers to submit their variance applications now to avoid permanent staff layoffs and compensation for length of service to eligible workers upon the expiry of the COVID-19 emergency layoff period Aug. 30. BC’s Restart Plan is supporting business to safely reopen and get people back to work. Employers are also encouraged to make use of the federal wage subsidy to assist them in bringing workers back.
Be Vigilant - Stay Protected Our layers of protection reduce the spread of COVID-19 and help all of us stay safe – whether at work, at school or out with friends. “As we increase our time with others and restart activities, spending more time with others can be a source of anxiety for many. In particular, some parents and families may be worried about the restart of in-class learning this fall. “It is important to remember that the layers of protection we use at work, at the grocery store and in restaurants will also be used in our schools. Limiting time with others, using one-way pathways, cleaning more, washing our hands regularly and always staying home if we are feeling unwell are important mea-

something doesn’t feel right, then it isn’t right for you or for your friends. It only takes one person with COVID-19 to cause a surge in new cases and for hundreds of people to be in self-isolation. “You don’t have to go along to get along. Rather, invite your family and friends to instead join you to have safe social interactions this summer. “If you’re at a nearby patio and the location is crowded, keep walking and choose another spot instead. Now is not the time to bend the rules, but to stay safe by playing safe. “COVID-19 is going to be in our community for some time to come. And while it remains in B.C., we need to keep it low and slow. Now is the time do the right thing and help your friends and family do the same.”

A Guide To Virtual Tours
The need to implement social distancing measures has driven many businesses to find new ways to serve their clients. Realtors are no different. Here’s what you should know about virtual property tours. Different types of tours The term “virtual tour” can refer to either a tour of a property done via video chat or one conducted using 3D-modelling software. In a best case scenario, these two techniques will be used in tandem to provide homebuyers with the most complete experience possible. Tips for buyers Virtual tours are more flexible than in-person visits, especially because they’re easier to plan and less
intrusive for homeowners. The most important thing In addition to virtual tours, some realtors are ofto remember is that, in some ways, virtual tours offer fering virtual closing as well, adding another level of more than traditional visits. Make the most of them safety and convenience. by trying out various layouts and colour schemes. Tips for sellers Sellers should get their property mapped out in 3D if possible. The popularity of virtual tours is sure to keep climbing, even after the pandemic. Video chat visits are fairly similar to in-person ones, with the important caveat that any staging will need to take the technology into account. Kick up the lighting a notch and make an extra effort to declutter. Image quality can vary between visits, and any busy or messy areas will look worse on camera.
