Fall Gardening: Best Bulbs To Plant With the arrival of fall, gardeners should start preparing their yards for winter and spring. For most, an important task is to plant their spring-blooming bulbs. Here are some of the hardiest types. • Crocuses. This will be one of the first to bloom in your spring garden. Choose from a variety of species in different colours and sizes, and plant them in a spot that gets partial or full sun. • Daffodils. These spring flowers will grow back year after year with little help from you. Plant them in partial shade or full sun for best growing results.
• Alliums. This ornamental variety of the onion family produces big purple balls of blooms. They love the sun and will return every spring. • Tulips. These blooms come in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes. They do best when planted in areas with partial shade or full sun. They’re perennials, so you won’t need to plant new bulbs every year. To ensure they take, bulbs should be planted before the ground freezes but only after the weather is reliably cool. For a spring garden that’s continuously in bloom, be sure to plant bulbs that flower at different times during the season.
and these changes are examples of that evolution.” Learn More: View the LCRB policy directive here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/employment-business/business/liquor-regulation-licensing/ liquor-law-policy/liquor-policy-directives Visit the Selling it Right homepage here: https:// www.responsibleservicebc.gov.bc.ca/

A weekly feature for Lumby, Cherryville, and area seniors. For more information about any of the following please contact Colleen or Jenny at (250) 547-8866 Whitevalley Community Resource Centre Office (250) 547-8866, Saddle Mountain Drop In (778) 930-0509. Funding support provided by the Province of British Columbia (Community Gaming), Interior Health and United Way North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap.
Paramedicine Program The Community Paramedicine Program is a relatively new service in British Columbia that was designed to help improve senior health care in rural areas. Community paramedics can provide basic health care services in a non-urgent setting, in patients’ homes and in the community. Community Paramedicine is intended primarily for older patients, living independently, with on-going medical conditions such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes, or those who are at risk of falls. Many aging adults often struggle with less home support and could definitely benefit from someone checking in on their wellness. Regular contact with a community paramedic can assist with seniors living longer in their own homes, reduce the
reliance on unnecessary 911 calls and help ensure they stay connected with their primary care physician. Patients are referred to this program by their doctor or other community health provider. The current paramedic providing this service in Lumby is Tara Lightfoot. Tara is local to the Okanagan but new to our area. She is passionate about helping people and loves this community and being able to support and help whenever possible. If you would like more information on this complimentary program please call Whitevalley Community Resource Centre (250) 547-8866.

De-stress and Breath
A Couple of corners ago I mentioned stress in regards to fertility. Stress however, relates to everyone and their health, no matter what brings it on. Bits of positive stress are healthy and leave you feeling euphoric. Healthy stress is short term like during exercise or a deadline for work or school. But when stress is long term you will experience adverse affects; as chronic fatigue, loss of interest or motivation in things you enjoy, irritability, headache, stomach-ache, or other pain…. You may have heard the word cortisol thrown around relating to stress. Cortisol is known as the "stress hormone" it is released in the body during times of stress or when using stimulating substances like caffeine. Cortisol is released along with other hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine – the "fight or flight" response we get when we sense danger. Normally after the danger or threat or whatever is creating the stress is over, epinephrine and norepinephrine levels return to normal. Cortisol on the other hand can remain high for a period of time. The trouble is when you are subjected to chronic stress and never get a break from it, then cortisol remains high never having a chance to dip back down. Cortisol is important however, and has many actions in the body. The main goal of cortisol secretion is a production of energy for the body. Cortisol stimulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism for fast energy, as well as insulin release and steady

blood sugar levels. The goal or result of this = an increase in appetite. You can see if cortisol remains high, how weight gain could be an issue as appetite is consistently stimulated. Not only weight gain being a problem but how what this gain is turned into

Child Pose and how it is stored. This gain turns unfortunately to dangerous fat and storage in the abdominal area which is toxic. This leads to cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes. Ways to destress are to laugh lots, exercise, eat well, practice positive thoughts and certain targeted stretching exercises like in yoga or slow controlled exercises as in Taiichi. Below are a few examples of exercises you can do to destress and calm your hormones. While doing the following exercises breath long and slow. In through your nose and out through your mouth is best for a count of about 3-5 seconds each. Lie on back with your buttocks to wall or closest to the wall as you can get. Start on your side get in close then lift one leg at a time up onto wall as you roll onto your back. Using a pillow, bolster or rolled up blanket under pelvis may be easier on the back for some. You can also move legs apart for a mild inner thigh stretch. Women should not do this exercise with bolster or any type of lift during menstruation. This pose calms the nervous system and helps reduce blood pressure and helps balance endocrine system, which is a huge hormonal regulatory system. Practice this pose with knees apart to allow belly to relax.

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.
More Depth
A little while ago I showed you a black and white photo that I had added color to. It had been my first time working with a Black &White photo while adding color. I have done a lot of black & white photos and a lot of color ones as well but had not added them together. (I have done a lot more since then) If you missed it in that issue it will be displayed at the Lumby Art Gallery next week for about a month. Now I would like to talk to you about Black & White photos. I like doing photos in Black & White. I see more depth in my photos. I find them to be more beautiful and stunning than most photos in color. Don't get me wrong color photos are brilliant and beautiful too. Before color photos were invented there was Black & White, the only time you would have seen colored portraits of people, pets, landscape etc. would have been in paintings. I have found that taking portraits of people in Black & White tends to soften the skin and the texture, making your eyes stand out more. While
I have seen colored photos of people where every wrinkle and pimple are visible. Joseph Nicephore Niepce invented the first camera photography in the early 1820's. This was a great invention until he tried to make copies of his photograph. Joseph continued to work on his project constantly trying to make copies of his photographs, finally by 1825 he was successful, making a black & white photo of a window. As years went by and his invention was well regarded by other scholars, Lipmann Gabriel took this great idea even further, in 1891 Lipmann had learned a process on making colored photographs. This process was done by optical light wave interface. Creating this phenomenon earned Lipmann the Nobel prize for physics in 1908. Yes, there was colored photos that had been born. But black & white still ruled. It was a lot less costly for people to use Black & White instead of color. Black & white also tended to have a classier look than the color photos. Did you know that the word Photography came
NOTES FROM
THE
from the Ancient Greek language way back before photography was ever thought of? Phot meant light, and graph meant write. The words were combined to say photograph. WRITE WITH LIGHT Pick up your camera take a photo of a person in color, now take the exact same photo in Black & White. Do you see the difference? Beautiful right!

Service BC Goes Digital With Video Identity Verification British Columbians now have more virtual options to set up their mobile BC Services Card. These options make it easier to access online government services during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the future. “We’re using innovation, technology and mobile options to improve the way we deliver services and programs to British Columbians,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Citizens’ Services. “Our new Send Video feature within the mobile BC Services Card gives people the choices and tools they need to connect with government supports and services quickly, safely and securely.” During the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people need online and telephone access to crucial government services. This is resulting in high call volumes to Service BC and an increased demand for alternative ways to verify a person’s identity in order to activate a mobile BC Services Card. To address this demand, the Province has launched Send Video, a remote identity-verification option for British Columbians. People can use Send Video within the BC Services Card app from their iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet to send Service BC a photo and a short video of themselves at any time, day or night. A Service BC representative reviews and verifies the person’s identity and activates their mobile BC Services Card for online use within just a few hours. This service eliminates the need to visit a Service BC Centre for in-person identity verification. Seventeen government services are available online with plans underway to bring more on board. British Columbians, including health professionals, businesses, government employees and students can use their BC Services Card to access these services. One of the most popular services is StudentAid BC. As students begin to apply for StudentAid for the fall semester, they will be able to take advantage of this new service to begin and track their applications. “With all the stress that COVID-19 has put on students, this new video service helping them verify their identity online makes it especially quick, easy and secure for them to apply for StudentAid BC,” said Bob D’Eith, MLA for Maple Ridge-Mission, on behalf of Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. “It’s a service that couldn’t have come fast enough, especially as students prepare to continue their education in the fall during these challenging times.” The BC Services Card Verify by Video service, which launched in June 2019, allows people to use the service to launch a live video call with a Service BC representative within the BC Services Card mobile app. During the call, the representative verifies their identity and then activates their mobile BC Services Card. Send Video adds another identity verification
option to the Verify by Video service. British Columbia is the first jurisdiction in North America to use an identity-verification solution using video. These services are another step forward in government’s work to help British Columbians conveniently, safely and quickly access services online. They also support B.C.’s new digital framework, which aims to (flickr.com) improve the experiences and interactions people have with government. Quick Facts: • The BC Services Card, which launched in 2013, allows British Columbians to access government services, both online and in person, with confidence their privacy is respected and their data is secure. • To date, about 4.7 million British Columbians have a BC Services Card. • To be ready to access online services with a BC Services Card, a citizen must go through a verification step, where their identity is confirmed by a Service BC customer service representative. • The BC Services Card mobile app was launched in 2018. To date, more than 125,000 mobile BC Services Cards have been activated for online access to government services. • More than 53,000 B.C. post-secondary students have already used the Verify by Video service to verify their identity and activate their mobile card to access StudentAid BC, since it launched in 2019. Learn More: The Verify by Video service is available through the BC Services Card mobile app. More information is available online: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/government-id/bc-services-card/log-in-withcard/setup/verify-by-video Watch a video of the easy-to-use identity-verification options here: https://youtu.be/lxN25INroXg For a list of online government services available with a BC Services Card, visit:

Living Gluten-Free
Doughnuts By Donna Easto In my very British family, not finishing your meal was considered scandalous. After all, there were starving children out there who’d love that toadin-the-hole! My suggestion to mail the poor things my dinner was icily ignored. I still believe making children feel guilty without speaking a word was an essential skill learned by Victorian women. Otherwise, being raised by my Victorian Great-Grandmother and Edwardian Grandmother and Great Aunts - outstanding. Trying to explain my aversion to gravy, English fish and chips, Melton Mowbray pie and Yorkshire pudding - not so much. My Grandmother visibly cringed when introductions came around to me. Various aunts, uncles and cousins snickered, “The fussy one,” staring at Gran as though it was entirely her fault. Long after my Great-Grandmother died at 105, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disease to which some folks have a genetic predisposition. If not correctly managed, usually with a gluten-free diet, it can make the body receptive to other conditions such as “celiac” rash (DH), anemia, diabetes, osteopenia, and T cell lymphoma. I didn’t miss most things excluded from my diet. But, the smell of mini-donuts at fairs drove me near mad with longing. Recently I began experimenting with creating gluten-free doughnuts. Baked, not fried. I mentioned this on “Around the Block Lumby,” and a few folks asked for the recipe. Here it is. As with most GF baking, the magic begins with the right blend of flours:
mix. Preheat oven to 400F, lightly grease doughnut pan(s). Ingredients: ¾ cup granulated sugar mixed with the grated zest of 1 lemon. ¾ cup of almond milk, stir in 1 ½ tsp of lemon juice (or use buttermilk). ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter. two large eggs. 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. 1¼ cups GF flour mix. ¼ cup GF cornstarch. 2 tsp GF baking powder. ½ tsp kosher salt ground fine Directions: 1. Whisk sugar, milk, oil, eggs & vanilla in a large mixing bowl. 2. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Add to liquids and whisk until you have a smooth, fluid batter. 3. Fill doughnut cups ¾ full. Bake 8-10 minutes until doughnuts spring back to the touch, but are not browned. Cool for 10 minutes in pan. 4. Tip out of the pan and coat while still warm.
Coatings: Lemon: coat with ¾ cups granulated sugar to which finely grated zest of one lemon has been added. Chocolate glaze: 2 tbsp almond milk, 3 tbsp pure cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (increase for thicker glaze). Vanilla glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup coconut or heavy cream, 1 Basic Flour mix: tsp pure vanilla. Cinnamon: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) 2 cups white rice flour, 1 cup tapioca flour, 1 cup unsalted butter melted, mix together ½ cup sugar, potato starch, 4 tsp xanthan gum. You can add 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon. Dip doughnuts in butter, cup of Quinoa or Amaranth flour for a 5 cup flour then in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Here are a few apple varieties to look for at your local orchard: As you stroll among the trees, take some time to fill your lungs with the fresh country air. Remember to pack a camera, or make sure your cell phone is charged, so you can capture the precious moments you share with family and friends. Apple everything There’s no shortage of ways to enjoy freshly picked apples. Before you leave, remember to stop in at the orchard’s market for a selection of specialty products including apple sauce, cider, donuts and vinegar. Alternatively, you can bring your harvest home for an afternoon of baking pies, crumbles and tarts.

Thank You To the Lumby Ambulance Crew and Lumby Fire Crew I wish to thank all who helped me get out of my basement bedroom and into the waiting Ambulance August 20 2020. You did a wonderful job, and although I was in so much pain and couldn't move on my own. I didn't feel any pain in the move. All my special thanks to each and everyone of you. Sincerely Mrs. Elaine Robinson.

Travel Restrictions To Canada Remain In Place For September Long Weekend
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is reminding all travellers ahead of the upcoming Labour Day long weekend that travel restrictions are still in place at all Canadian international border crossings. The Government of Canada remains committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadians and reducing the spread of COVID-19 in Canada. All travel of an optional or discretionary nature, including tourism, recreation and entertainment, is covered by these measures across all ports of entry in all modes of transportation: land, marine, air and rail. With the travel restrictions still in place, foreign nationals, including United States (U.S.) citizens, will not be allowed to enter Canada for any of the following examples of discretionary/optional travel: • opening or checking on a cottage or seasonal home • sightseeing and hiking • boating across the border • fishing or hunting • visiting friends or partners (outside of spouses or common-law) • attending a party or celebration Asymptomatic immediate family members, spouses or common-law partners of Canadian citizens and permanent residents who meet the immediate family member definition and are coming to Canada for a minimum of 15 days will be exempt from the prohibition from entering Canada for a discretionary/optional purpose. Read more about foreign nationals who are immediate family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Unless exempt, boaters cannot enter Canadian waters (territorial sea and internal waters) or boundary waters for discretionary or optional reasons. These reasons include: touring, sightseeing and pleasure fishing. Read more Information for foreign boaters. Foreign nationals may be permitted to transit through Canada to Alaska for a non-discretionary/ non-optional reason, but must follow stricter rules and meet additional entry conditions. Read more about requirements for transiting through to Alaska. Quick facts • The temporary restriction on all discretionary
travel at the Canada-U.S. border put in place on March 21 at 12:01 am EDT continues. This restriction has been extended until at least September 21, 2020, and may be prolonged for public health reasons. • Canadian citizens, permanent residents and Registered Indians under the Indian Act continue to enter Canada by right, and are subject to COVID-19 entry screening measures. • The CBSA has temporarily suspended or reduced service at certain small vessel reporting sites, small airports of entry, ferry terminals and to the Remote Area Border Crossing program. Travellers should review the list of CBSA locations that remain open during this temporary service suspension. • All persons entering Canada, unless exempted – no matter their country of origin or mode of entry – must isolate themselves for 14 days if they have symptoms of or confirmed COVID-19 or quarantine themselves for 14 days if they do not have symptoms of COVID-19. Foreign nationals who are displaying symptoms of COVID-19 will not be permitted to enter Canada, regardless of their reason for travel. • Travellers should consult the respective provincial/territorial websites to ensure that they are aware of the provincial/territorial entry, quarantine and public health requirements and can abide by those requirements. • As of March 31, 2020, anyone arriving in Canada in any mode (air, land, marine or rail) must provide their contact information to a border services officer when seeking entry. This information is collected on behalf of Public Health Agency of Canada to support the compliance to, and enforcement of, the 14 day quarantine or isolation requirement outlined in the Order in Council. Travellers are encouraged to download the mobile ArriveCAN App prior to arrival to reduce wait times and limit contact at the border. The App is available on the Apple App and Google Play stores. • For the latest on cross-border programs and services, travellers can call the CBSA’s Border Information Service at 1-800-461-9999.
