Murray Rankin, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, and Selina Robinson, Minister of Finance, have released the following statement on marking the federal Truth and Reconciliation Day: “Over the last two months Canadians have been coming to terms with what survivors of residential schools have always known. Indigenous peoples are bringing to light the true history of this country and the atrocities of the residential school system. “We share the grief, the pain and the outrage and understand that we have a painful but necessary road ahead of us to walk together, to right wrongs and to support Indigenous communities who are carrying this ongoing burden with strength, resilience and leadership. The need has never been greater to listen and to learn about B.C.’s colonial history and to seek truth, justice and reconciliation. As government, we have an important
role in this process, and we know that non-Indigenous British Columbians throughout the province want to play an active part in this critical work. “In June, the federal government announced Sept. 30 as a new annual statutory day to commemorate the history and ongoing trauma caused by residential schools and to honour those who were lost and the survivors, families and communities who continue to grieve. “In recent years, Sept. 30 has been known as Orange Shirt Day, so called
because of the residential school experiences of the campaign’s founder, Phyllis Webstad. It is a day when we honour the children who suffered in the residential school system, and many residential school survivors and supporters have advocated for this to become a national day of commemoration, to respond to one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. “Over the coming months, the Province will work with Indigenous leaders, Continued on page 5

I wish to extend my most heartfelt apologies to Richard of RAP Welding and his family and friends. I erroneously reported that Richard had died due to complications of COVID 19. The additional pain I caused his family in this most difficult of times of a loved one being ill is beyond comprehension. Again I beg your forgiveness. I also wish to apologize to Andrew, the Editor of The Lumby Valley Times, as this was not his or his staffs mistake, it was mine and mine alone and it should not reflect on anyone but myself.
Why Didn’t The Cows Eat The Lemon Grass?... It made Sour Milk!
Lemon Grass
Every year I grow a small amount of Lemon Grass for myself and a few people who know of and enjoy this aromatic grass. Lemon Grass is a perennial in its native home of warm climates as in places like Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Jamaica however, in cooler climes such as ours it is an annual that will not survive our winter but can be grown in pots that can be brought indoors for the winter. It grows easily from seed, root division and cuttings placed in water until it has some roots sprouted. The seeds will sprout in 5 to 21 days after being pressed into a richly composted soil and kept moist and humid. It will grow to be a grassy tuft of about 1 foot in height with stalks of about 1/2 an inch in diameter and is very attractive in flower beds and borders. Lemon grass has a zesty lemon flavour and is used in many dishes from curries, soups to stir fries. It is wonderful in chicken and seafood dishes and the leaves can be used to make tea.
The most edible part of the plant is near the bottom of the stalk which you cut off just above the root. Remove the woody portions as well as the leaves which you can dry to make the tea. It can be used fresh or you can freeze it for later use. The tea should only be used in small amounts internally but has a hair rinse can help with hair loss issues and is very useful for toning pores of the skin and it is used to treat acne and oily skin issues. It has many health benefits as it is high in potassium and iron and also has anti fungal and anti bacterial properties as well as being a natural diuretic it can also promote weight loss. In Jamaica it is called fever grass and is used to treat fevers, stomach ailments, it can also be used as a pesticide and is quite affective in repelling whitefly, aphids as well as ticks and snakes. It contains citronella and therefore repels mosquitoes. It is also made into soaps and cleaning products.
4 Delightful Fall Activities
As the leaves turn shades of yellow, orange and red, it’s hard to deny that fall is a beautiful season. Here are just some of the ways you can make the most of the next few months. 1. Pick fruits and veggies Visit a farm, orchard or vineyard in your area to collect your own apples, cranberries, grapes, artichokes, beets, carrots, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins and more. Consider picking enough to make preserves for the months ahead. 2. Tend to your garden If you want beautiful blooms in the spring, be sure to plant crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths, tulips and other bulbs before the temperature drops. You can also take advantage of end-of-season sales to fill your gar-
den with beautiful perennials at a low price. 3. Watch migratory birds Depending on where you live, your area might be a prime location to spot flocks of geese, sparrows, ducks, shorebirds and other migratory species as they make their way to warmer climates for the winter. 4. Engage in outdoor sports Fall is an ideal time of year to enjoy the great outdoors. From hiking, biking and kayaking to rock climbing, fishing and horseback riding, there are plenty of ways to combine exercise with being outside in the fresh autumn air. Whether you’re looking for an activity to enjoy alone, with your partner or alongside your family, there’s no shortage of ways to have fun in the fall.

Recipes Past and Present
In days of yore, the local grocer stocked up to three hundred items usually grown, produced or processed within a radius of 150 miles. Today’s stores stock up to 33,000 items that can travel up to 1,490 miles or more. Unfortunately with the rise of choices comes the rise of unscrupulous players that exploit the complex supply chain required to move this much food this far. Food fraud is very real. We may be buying low-quality food at inflated prices, or eating food or taking supplements with undisclosed, often unsafe ingredients or allegens. More reason to buy locally grown, sourced and

Food Fakery Is Fraud
produced foods, and only purchase from known and reliable suppliers.. Food fraud is worldwide, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency suggests it affects 10 per cent of commercially sold food. Probably a very conservative figure – the sale of fake Australian meats alone totaled in the neighbourhood of $2.5billion USD. Consider that 12,800 kilograms of adulterated honey was blocked from entering the Canadian market in 2019, and 20% of sausages sampled from grocery stores contained unlabeled meats. The biggest targets of the fakers are olive oil, honey, dry spices, fish, fruit juices and organic food products. Olive oil, especially EVO, can be adulterated with soybean, canola, hazelnut, sunflower and colour enhancing ingredients such as chlorophyll and beta-carotene. Products labeled “bottled in Italy” or “produced in Italy” could mean it was only bottled there – not made in the country. HINT: Olive oil gelato is popular in Italy. Try drizzling a pure EVO on vanilla ice cream with a sprinkle of sea salt. Fantastico! Honey is doctored with the addition of sucrose syrup from sugar beets, maltose syrup, and industrial glucose and fructose obtained from the heat, enzymatic, or acid treatment of starch. If you want to avoid fake honey, buy local. One particularly troubling example of botanical adulteration is in the case of turmeric. Powdered turmeric (Curcuma longa) can be adulterated with yellow dyes often containing lead, starch, chalk and yellow soapstone, or substituted with synthetic curcumin. To avoid adulterants such as marigold flowers, corn silk,
chalk, dyed onions and strands of cotton or plastic threads in saffron buy the spice in whole threads. Pure saffron is expensive, but do you really want to eat plastic threads? In a recent survey of eleven CoQ10 dietary supplements available online, only 4 of the brands tested contained anywhere near the stated mg/capsule. In one sample there was no detectable trace of CoQ10. The colour of your CoQ10 supplement can help determine its authenticity, it is naturally a deep orange. Food fraud hurts everyone, it puts consumers at risk of ingesting unknown ingredients and unwittingly paying more for a low quality or misrepresented product. Ethical producers of high-quality products also suffer from being put at a competitive disadvantage by fraudsters. Become a savvy consumer by: • Reading the label to ensure that what you are buying is clearly identified on the product. • Being aware of common foods that can become victims of fraud. • Shopping at trusted retailers and connecting with your local community of producers and shoppers. • Choose brands and suppliers you know. If you suspect food fraud, report it to the retailer immediately. Do you have a favourite recipe, perhaps something that brings back memories of days gone by? Send it to the Lumby Valley Times. Mail your recipe(s) to: Box 456, Lumby B.C. or e-mail to: andrew@lumbyvalleytimes.ca, please indicate if you want your name to be used in the article, or would prefer to remain anonymous.

Health & Nutrition
How “Fit” Are You?
There are many “fit tests” that are recognized as markers to determine what “fit age” or how “fit” you are in general. For example, a test that says you should be able to do into your 50’s is the sit/rise test, which involves you to sit down to the ground from standing with legs crossed then stand back up without using any support – no hands, elbows, sides of legs, furniture, walls…. Another one is the sit-and-reach test, which is a way to measure the flexibility of the back of your legs, hips and lower back. This is done by sitting down with your legs out straight and spread out slightly in a V shape. You then lean forward as far as you can holding for at least 1 second and measuring your distance. Or there is the standard measure of BMI (body mass index) Your body mass index (BMI) is a calculation that indicates whether you have a healthy amount of body fat. It is basically to do with height and weight. I can tell you I have been physically active all my life, with many awards from track and field, to team sports, to fitness competitions and still in training, to where I have never been able to do some of these. I have had also many fit clients in the same boat as me and on the flip side many unfit clients that could do these! Also, BMI is so generalized to around a specific standard of woman and man that if you are taller or shorter or even more muscular than average, it does not take these things into account, making it a very unreliable measure. So, if these are some of the stan-
dard tests to see how fit or healthy you are may seem futile. But there is good news and much more realistic ways to test how fit or healthy you are, as follows: • Your heart rate is in a healthy range of between 60-100 beats per minute. This is best taken in the morning and should stay pretty consistent each morning. • You have no problem keeping pace with your peers on a walk or jog and your breathing feels in control. • You have a good recovery time. If your heart rate goes back into a healthy zone within 5 minutes, you’re in good shape. • You exercise consistently and in a healthy way, not too much, or too little. You are getting the recommended 150 minutes per week of aerobic activity (30 minutes per day) and at least 2 days of strength training. • You are a parent or even a grandparent and find it easy to pick up the kids, crawl around the floor with them, push a stroller, or able to use a child carrier in front or back of you with ease. • Stairs are not the enemy and you actually prefer them over an elevator • You are able to do a variety of different exercises or activities even if it is not routine without a lot of issue • You get enough sleep. This you know because you have good energy throughout the day and feel
rested not tired when you wake up. • Your mental health is in check - Exercise has been shown to improve mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, improved mood, cognitive function and better self esteem. • You are positive and laugh a lot As you can see there isn’t just one measure to indicate how fit you are! Fit also may be perceived by some as in how a person looks i.e. lean, toned or muscular, or how fast someone can run or lift. “Fit” can have many variations within its in meaning. But for general health the above points are a sure way to gauge how “fit” you are.

Reconciliation, from page 1
organizations and communities on the best and most respectful ways to mark Truth and Reconciliation Day here in B.C., followed by engagement with business and labour stakeholders for their perspectives on how the national day is commemorated in future years. “The national holiday will be observed this Sept. 30 by federal employees and workers in federally regulated workplaces. We have advised provincial public-sector employers to honour this day and in recognition of the obligations in the vast majority of collective agreements. Many public services will remain open but may be operating at reduced levels. However, most schools, post-secondary institutions, some health sector workplaces, and Crown corporations will be closed. “Our government is calling on all of us who deliver services to the public to use this opportunity to consider what each of us can do as individuals to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and to recommit to understanding the truth of our shared history, to accept and learn from it and in doing so, help to create a better, more inclusive British Columbia.”

Bugs, Bugs, and More Bugs! I go outside, there they are, I come inside, there they are. I went for lunch last week with a friend, we sat outside, and yup there they were again. There seems to be an over abundance again this year, I remember there were quite a few of them a couple of years ago when we went to Sugar Lake, my dog had a bright green life jacket on as she was riding in the boat, when we got back on land her jacket was so full of the bugs, that I took it off immediately. These tiny tiny little black bugs, with clear wings. They seem to be attracted to bright colors, especially neon green. When indoors you will see them hanging around on your white cupboards ( yuck) At the market the other day we were at the picnic table, and someone had a bright green bag, all you
could see was black from the bugs. Gross. These bugs go by many names: Biting Midge Flies, No See Ums, Punkies, Gnats, Annoying, Pesky, Nuisance, Etc. and yes they do bite. Their bites are not poisonous, they are just itchy. There are over 4000 species of the No See Um. Some people call them Fruit Flies, but they are not, as Fruit Flies have a tan colored body not black. No See ums live everywhere in the world except for the Antarctic way to cold there for them. These tiny little flies have very slender legs, black body, clear veined wings that seem to be in a Y shape when they are idle. They have two antennas, they are probably about 1/16" - 1/8" As adults both male and female will feed off of plant nectars, but the female is the only one that will bite, as she needs to have a blood meal so that her eggs that she will lay can develop fully. She will pierce your skin, with a sucker that is sharp like a needle, then she will inject an anticoagulant into the bite which keeps the blood flowing while she NORTH OKANAGAN-SHUSWAP feeds. Our bodies then has an allergic reaction to her bite which of course then can leave an itchy welt that can last for days. Tim is very allergic to them, when he gets bitten by them he has Employment Services huge welts, and extremely itchy in the areas where Power up your job search with they got him. the help of WorkBC. No See Ums like to bite you on the back of Access job search resources, career planning, training, work experience placement and more.

your legs, your arms and your backs, the reason for this is that there is less wind resistance when you are walking. They can bite you over and over, and usually will feed in large groups, so you might find a group of bites all near each other instead of just one. If there is little or no wind, they will be out even more. Try protecting yourself with some bug spray that contains citronella even try Avon's skin so soft, making sure you get all of your exposed skin as they don't go through your clothing. The funny thing is that they say No See Ums come out in May and June, but yet here they still are. If you get bit, I know it is hard to do, but don't scratch the bites as they could become infected, instead wash your skin where you got bit with an anti-bacterial soap and warm water. If the welts are very swollen use a cold compress or ice pack for a few minutes. You could also use a cream with Cortisone or Zinc this will help with the itch and swelling. If they are in your house put out small cups with Apple Cider Vinegar, with a little bit of dish soap. They are attracted to the ACV, but the dish soap will make sure they don't crawl back out of the dish. I put one out the other day by the sink as they like moist areas, wow there probably was like 15 or 16 in the dish. I now keep one in the bathroom, one by the kitchen sink, and one on my kitchen counter, hopefully pretty soon they will all be gone form my house, and outside.

Arts & Culture from the Edge
ArtKids! Now at the Village Gallery! iable to be used on any Art supplies in the Village Gallery or a future order. 'Every child is an Artists' -Pablo Picasso The ability to create is a human necessity it helps us define who we as a human being. For children it is part of learning and exploring our own human curiosity. From the moment we pick up a crayon and put it to paper it becomes an exploration of the world we live in. For children it is a chance to explore, observe and imitate, trying to figure out how things operate and how to control themselves and their environments. This unrestricted exploration helps children form connections in their brain, it helps them learn— and it’s also fun. Art allows youth to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning. We hope that you will join the Monashee Arts Council in supporting the art among youth by visiting the Village Gallery for the 2nd AnnualArtKids! 1975 Vernon Street. (Highway 6) we will be open 10am-4pm, Monday to Saturday. Art Supplies MAC will once again be putting in an order for Art Supplies Deadline; September 30th; this will be our last order until the New Year so now is the time to think about that special gift for the artist in your life!

shadow would give her plenty of time to skate to Town, sans-shades. Inhaling deeply, she made her way past the greenhouses and gardens to the Bessette creek riparian trail. The Hawthorne and Saskatoon branches were still a naked tangle but blow-down had been cleared from the trail by eager volunteers. She snapped on her blades and bent low, she pushed off . Gronk. Splsssssh! A heron coasted low over the trees; a beaver cut a wedge in the still water. Come September, fisheries would break careful passages in the beaver dam in the ritual hope for returning salmon. Naeve grinned. Fisheries, oh yeah. What a life! Last October, she'd gone to their recruitment salmon bake at Shuswap Falls. Her first taste of sockeye, red, succulent, steam baked in a pit. Federal contract work good way to get the old Basic Piketty. The riparian trail arched over the junction of Albers and Mabel Lake roads. Naeve paused and leaned on the railing, scanning the scooters and pedicabs passing below. An e-crummy competed for the crumbling asphalt; Tsuius Creek flags rippling out the windows; all the red and yellow LEDs flashing. “Got the whole wide world, in our hands...” The crummy was rocking. “Got the Green New Deal...”Hey, a loudspeaker? Too decadent! “Got the Monashee treees...” “n the birds'n the beeeeez....” Naeve checked her cell for signal and texted a quick message. Seconds passed and: Yip, yip and yip. I'll hang with Zizi today. Now she’s one good reason to go with Forestry. Grad this year and all her mother seemed to think about was: 'Got your plans figured out yet, Naeve? Know where you're getting your credits?' Army, shelter, wind and solar, hadn’t even made the short list. But it was still a toss-up: Forestry or Fisheries? I'll decide soon enough. What's the panic? A cart stopped at the intersection to let the crummy pass: Midi, mothering-friend, taking her Fjord, Tom to the market. Three year old, Gemma, was 'driving' with Midi's strong hands for back up. Midi never asks me what my plans are. Comfortable, that. Whoa, what's that coming? Ground level, the intersection was a blind corner but Naeve could see the approaching danger. A logging truck? The silent battery powered beast was heading to the auction for sure. 'Oh My Goddess!' Naeve gasped in horror and waved frantically, catching Midi's eye. Seconds later the truck let out an ear splitting blast. Tom shied away from the intersection, but alerted, Midi had already taken charge of the reins, calming him safely back. The truck thundered on. Midi waved a preoccupied thanks.
Eff! That was close! No excuse for driving that fast. Dad never - I'll lodge a complaint. I'll make a citizen's citation. Filled with righteous anger, Naeve slalomed across the overpass narrowly missing two cyclists. Racing rig. Hastily cramming on her mask, she pulled aside to let them pass. The usual gabble of scattered thoughts flooded her brain: Given the lockdown, where would the bikers spend the night? Reactions to her mother's spiritual search; (another session with the Ouija last night) Do I believe in the concept of life after death? Reactions to CBC blatting in her earbud: Will that Chinese animation teacher be at the market? Yada, yada- is that ditch apple budding? Whoops, muskrat skat! And a few more practical thoughts: It's going to be sure-fine hanging with Zi. Gawdess, I’ve missed her! When's Midi coming back? I could stay late and get a ride home. It took a klick but she calmed down. She had six klicks to go. The rush of Bessette helped soothe. Our spawning ground. if the salmon ever come back What's the Secwepemc name? Grant’ll know. Naeve had met Grant at the salmon bake. Cute! I'd like to get him in a water fight! Three klicks later, she crossed Bessette at Manuel Bridge. Someone with a mane of stark white hair was perched on the far side staring intently down at the water; an out of place tropical bird in the mist. Local spring gear was red-green plaid, like her own hemp jacket, not a neon billow of pink silk and - not “he” and not “she”; definitely “they” had an iPad. Serendipity! Synchronicity! Quantum entanglement! Fate!

Fatal Motor Vehicle Incident on Highway 6
Highway 6 was closed to traffic on Friday evening while police investigated a motor vehicle incident that claimed the life of a 55-year old man. On Friday September 24th, 2021 at 3:45 pm, front line officers from the Vernon North Okanagan along with the Coldstream Fire Department and the BC Ambulance Service responded to a report of a collision between a pedestrian and a pick-up truck in the 9500 block of Highway 6, east of Aberdeen Road in Coldstream. Investigators determined a vehicle travelling west on Highway 6 pulled over to the side of the road and parked on the north shoulder. As the driver exited the vehicle, a pick up truck travelling eastbound failed to negotiate a curve in the highway, crossed over the centre line and struck the driver’s side of the parked vehicle dragging the man several metres. This is an absolutely tragic incident, said Cpl Ta-
nia Finn, Media Relations Officer with the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. Even more compounded by the fact that the deceased man’s 12-year old son was in the parked vehicle when his father was struck and killed. Our hearts go out to everyone involved in this tragedy. BC Ambulance Service determined the 55-year old man was deceased on scene. The 88-year old driver of the pick-up truck remained on scene and was cooperative with police investigators. Investigators from the RCMP’s Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstructionist Section and the BC Coroners Service attended. At this time, investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol to be factors in the collision. BC Ambulance Service transported the 12-year old passenger of the parked vehicle to hospital as a precaution and the family of the deceased is receiving grief support.
The RCMP continue to investigate the incident. Anyone with information regarding this collision, who have not already spoken to police, is urged to contact Cst Steven McCarthy of the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP at (250) 545-7171.
