Advertise in your local paper? YES, YOU SHOULD! THE POWER OF NEWSPAPER ADS IN 2021 Given the proliferation of digital platforms, the rise of geo-targeting and the constant stream of online news, you may be wondering if it’s worth placing ads in the Lumby Valley Times. In fact, the power of newspapers should not be ignored. Distributed regularly, community newspapers allow you to connect with your target audience in meaningful ways. In fact, studies show that consumers are more likely to be swayed by ads in local newspapers because they view these publications as credible. THE IMPACT OF YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER Whether published in print or online, local newspapers remain a top source of reliable information and local content for the public, particularly when it comes to issues affecting the community. Without a doubt, local papers are a relevant and in-demand source of news. And, when marketing dollars are spent wisely, they make a real impact. The takeaway? Make certain to advertise where you’re sure to get real results!

What Is A Grasshopper’s Favourite Sport?... Cricket!
Grasshoppers
It is amazing what a little rain can do to clear up the smokey sky although I’m sure the wind made a bit of difference as well and made the fires much more aggressive. It is good to know that most of Vernon is off evacuation alert now and hopefully this fire can be brought under control for the sake of Armstrong and area. One thing that I have noticed this summer is a larger population of grasshoppers, Armstrong has been particularly hit with an abundance of them but If you have been watching the news at all Lethbridge has become overrun with them to the point of nightmare. I would not be able to leave the house if we were to endure such an invasive amount but I guess there would be not need to leave the house because gardening would be futile with the damage that would be done by those kind of numbers of Grasshoppers. A friend in this area was telling me that their farm seems to have an abundance of Grasshoppers this year but the birds are gobbling them up rapidly and although I am experiencing some damage to plants, this year in our area it has been quite modest. The grasshopper population supposedly peaks in a 7 year cycle and that weather is the main factor in their successful numbers which is usually a few years of hot, dry summers and warm falls. Like are predicted and seem to be occurring in our area over the last few years. Dry weather allows both the nymphs and adults survive and warm
falls allows their numbers to multiply. They grow from egg to nymph and then to adulthood within a 5 month period, the adult laying eggs every three to four days. They feed mostly during the day but will dine at night as well if the need is there. Certain varieties that exist and under certain circumstances will forsake their solitary behaviour and create swarms that go through changes in size and colour to become locusts which can cause great damage to crops as has been seen in several countries over the years. This is not the type of Grasshoppers we have here, thank heavens. Although the populations we have seen this year( except for Lethbridge and area) it is far from the decimation Locusts can cause. It would be hard to see all your plants reduced to a stumps in very short period of time. There are a few companion plants that can help like cilantro and calendula but by the time the grasshoppers are a pest it is almost too late to put this into action. A spray of 1 cup cider vinegar to 3 cups water with a squirt of soap sprayed in the early morning on and around the plants will help to deter them. A garlic spray using 2 cups ground garlic with 10 cups water brought to a boil then cooled then added to a ratio of 1 part solution to 3 parts water can be used as well. This stored in a dark cool place will be good for a couple of weeks. One other solution that I particularly like is to sprinkle flour on the plants being af-
fected unlike the rye flour used to combat the cabbage moth, any flour will work. The flour will gum up the grasshopper’s mouth and it makes it impossible for them to eat and therefore it is their demise. Chickens will be delighted to gobble them up but then they will cause unwanted damage in their efforts. Stepping on them is tricky but I’ve found by the third jump I win!! Hopefully we will be back at the Oval on Saturday, this excessive heat and smoke make for a tough time getting ready and being at the market for vendors and clients as well. Happy Gardening!

Lumby Food Bank And The Kids Summer Program Says, "Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!" “It takes a village, and we are that village”! - Norma Bouzak
By Melody Bosk You do realize that without all of the donations we have from the community, businesses, and the generous outpouring of support we simply could not do what we need to do for those who need it! Here at our Foodbank, we share with other Foodbanks who in turn share with us when needed; we also regularly share to the Monashee 50+ OAP, especially during
these tough times. The unrelenting heat spell we had not too long ago sprung those ladies into action and into opening the hall to those that needed to cool down, guests were also invited to share in snacks while they were keeping cool.

Lumby Celebrates Its 130th Birthday In 2021!
In 1891, Louis Morand purchased 40 acres from Quinn Faulkner and dedicated the land to form a new frontier settlement called "White Valley". In 1893, a letter was sent to the Postmaster General to rename the settlement to "Lumby". Even though there was a development boom in 1912, there was no local government and no decisions could be made locally. All decisions came from Victoria or through the government agent in Vernon. However, in 1955, Lumby was incorporated and the first local council was elected. Left to Right: Louis Morand, Charlie Christien, Claude Bessette & Walter Jackson

Historically the applied arts were created at home to beautify the home, often (but not exclusively by any means) they were done by women. Consequently they were usually excluded from galleries and exhibitions for much of European art history. Times have changed. Exposure to other cultures broke that artificial separation wide open.

Storytelling has become a way of conveying events in words and images as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and to instill moral values into future generations.

Submissions are limited to three (3) pieces per artist and need to be delivered to the gallery with application form by August 30th.

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.
YUCK! So lately I have seen these ugly bugs hanging around my front door. I have seen them on the Salmon Trail, but not at home. The other day I had put something on the shelf. I have my front porch, next thing you know two of these ugly bugs are travelling with me in my car! Yuck! I looked them up on the internet the closest I can figure them out they are called Western Boxelder Bugs. Here's the thing: I don't have a Boxelder Tree, which is part of the Maple Tree family, nor do I grow fruit. But here they are, these gross critters with usually more than one hanging around my door. Apparently they don't bite, but they have a piercing sucking way that can be like a Mosquito bite, just like Stink Bugs. If you get a severe reaction from their piercing, it is advised to seek medical attention. When these bugs congregate they can cause a lot of damage to fruit in the later part of the season. Attacking the fruits we have here in the Okanagan, Ap-
ples, Peaches, Pears, Cherries, Plums. The Western Boxelder like to lay their eggs on the foliage and in the bark cracks in the tree of non-bearing Maple and Ash Trees. (As I am writing this I just remembered that across the road from me are a couple of Maple, Ash, and Apple Trees.) This is probably where they are coming from.) The eggs are red and will hatch within 10-14 days. The young ones called Nymphs are bright red in color, when they mature their color starts to get darker and grow their wings, the older they are the darker they become, from bright red, Brownish red, to Gray Brown then Black. They are about 3/8-5/8" in length. The Western Boxelder can look like similar bugs like the Small Milkweed Bug, or the Red Shouldered Bug. Western Boxelder Bugs are found in Arizona, Nevada, Texas, some states on the Pacific Coast, and here in British August 2021 Community Update Columbia on my door I’m Rick Fairbairn, Director for Electoral Area “D”. frame.

other way is to get rid of the seeds under the host trees, and or get rid of the Boxelder trees close to my property. Yeah, like my neighbours would like that HAHAHA. Here is a simpler solution that the internet has suggested to stop the adults from coming into the home for the winter: fixing torn screens on the doors (nope don't have that) place caulking on the cracks around doors and the windows, that I can do. I know they can't really hurt me, but I am disgusted seeing them on my front door frame, not being a bug person, unless it might turn into something beautiful I seriously don't want them near me, or traveling in my car with me either.

HOME ARTS: More than a gift shop
Nina Westaway “Home Arts”, the current show at the Village Gallery, has brought many people in exclaiming that it looks like the pre-pandemic gift shop run by the Lumby Arts Co-op. However, the inspiration for this show is much broader. During the pandemic, people have revived traditional skills that were done out of economic necessity: sewing handmade clothing, preserving food, knitting warm winter sweaters and mittens, quilting bed coverings for insulation and beauty, and making bread or cheese. The current show celebrates these domestic arts, which have been largely considered “women’s work”. This is not to denigrate the contributions of men to
were lost forever. In England, artists and artisans lamented the loss of these arts due to industrialization, making objects cheaply but without long lasting value or aesthetic merit. New objects had come from imperial colonies and were collected for their novelty and exoticism although Victorian homes were overstuffed. A revolt against the industrial age called the Arts and Crafts Movement tried to infuse the production of ordinary household goods with artistic integrity. William Morris made beautiful furniture and wallpapers and was the most famous exponent. The induction of women in the Arts and Crafts movement was revolutionary, their wonderful influence in not only fabric arts but pottery, stained glass, sculpture, landscape design and book design. This movement spread all over the world and is still reverberating with women and culture. In my mother’s heritage, Ukrainian collections of folk costumes and crafts are now found on Pinterest that celebrate older traditions as well as using them as a foundation for new beauty and celebration. When I was a child, my mother had some small hardbound books approximately 4 x 6 inches, that had Ukrainian or Romanian embroidery patterns for the domestic fabric artist; but no matter what culture you Louise hand spinning wool come from, there is a satisfaction of being able to make things that have design integrity.

However, in the European art tradition, women were excluded from training in “fine” arts and relegated to domestic arts. But in the sphere of ordinary, indigenous people, many skills by women in particular were practiced as they had been for many centuries. This body of life, creativity, and history later became part of ‘Folk Art’.

Notes From the Lumby Public Market
www.lumbyvalleytimes.ca
Please Note: The Directors of The Lumby And District Public Market have made the decision that we will be closed on certain days because of things that are beyond our control, like very poor air quality from all the smoke, or it is too hot because this year is hotter than usual, and there are a lot of fires, if the air quality level is 8+ which means we are at high risk and the air is hard to breathe in we will be closed for the day. (You can find the levels out on the website of BC Air Quality or on the local news) If the forecast says it will be 35 degrees Celsius or higher we will be closed for the day. This helps to protect our vendors from heat and or sun stroke, also it helps to protect them from breathing in all the smoke. As the vendors are out in the park for 5 -6 hours each Saturday. We do not like to close down our market, and we usually don't, but this year has been an exception with the extreme heat waves, and the fires and smoke all around us. We hope that this will change soon. With the cooler weather coming, hopefully that will mean less fires and smoke which of course would mean we would be open every Saturday. Thank You For Your Understanding. Last Saturday at the Market it was raining as I was setting up, but that was okay, as it wasn't too hot and there wasn't any smoke, by 8:30 am the rain had stopped and the sun came out. We had a smaller market this past week, due to a lot of our vendors and customers being on Evacuation Alert. I hope that this rain has helped them, and they can now be able to come off the alert, and for
those that were Evacuated, it will be great if they can would like to enter your Butter Tarts of any kind, and any flavor email us at btfvendors@gmail.com We will have Commercial entries, and Non-Commercial entries of any age may enter this. One year we had Smarties Butter Tarts, Bannack Butter Tarts, Bailey's Butter Tarts, etc.(not all of them had been entered in the contest but boy oh boy were they ever good) The Lumby and District Public Market is at the Oval Park every Saturday from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm We have a good assortment of Vendors at our Satnow return home. urday Market you will find things for all ages.

Thank You, from page 3
a load of their amazing natural products to help evacuees and those less fortunate! The OAP has a supply on hand as well for those that need it. Back to Earth is located in Lavington and has always helped with community spirit and support! Thank you guys! Hunger Free Summer for Kids I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear the feedback lately regarding our little program we have for school-aged kids that are home for the summer. These youngsters are very appreciative and enjoy all the little special things we send to help them with a balanced healthy diet. We have been so fortunate to have Zelaney Farms on our team donating whatever they can; they go out of their way to send beautiful produce our way. I do want you to know that they have the biggest best cauliflower heads available anywhere! You can cut one up into 4 meals and still have leftovers I’m sure, and the price CANNOT be beaten. Try some out; you won’t believe your taste buds! This past week we received another awesome donation from our Telus family to our children’s program. With a variety of snacks and handy pop-it-in-yourmouth types of treats, the kids are going to be thrilled. Just remember that every little bit helps and means so much to every child in our program! Registrations are still trickling in, which makes me happy. If any of you witnessed Robert doing summersaults across our fresh pavement at the food bank, I’d love photos! If you happened to see him with some yellow
paint up and down his arms it’s probably from doing those summersaults over the fresh yellow lines that were just put down on the pavement! A huge thank you to Ed Farley for donating his time and materials to finalize the last installment on our new parking lotgreat job Ed! Next up—the new Cover/Canopy slowly gets set in place-and in saying that- we could use a couple of strong men to lend Robert a hand if anyone would like to put their strength to the test! Watch for strongman requests on Facebook! That’s it for now-See you next week!
Norma & Alf Canuel noticed this little sunflower growing in their beautiful flower box and decided just to let it grow. That little plant is now approximately 12 Feet Tall.

Norm Adams’ First Texas Cook Book
In 1883 when Houston was a city of 16,000 the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church collected hundreds of favourite recipes that had been handed down for generations. That was how the FIRST TEXAS COOK BOOK was compiled. Thanks to Norm Adams, who shared his 1977 reprint of the original cook book, the Lumby Valley Times is pleased to pass along some of these recipes to you over the next few weeks. This week’s menu: Baked Fish, Scalloped Parsnips, Corn Batter Cakes and Eve’s Pudding. Baked Fish Stuff the fish with mashed Irish potato and onion stuffing, then put in a deep pan and bake, cut up three or four large onions, put a tablespoonful of lard in a frying pan, as soon as hot add two tablespoons of flour; when brown put in the onions; as soon as they are brown add half a can of tomatoes and a pint of hot water, a few allspice, salt, black and red pepper; let cook for a quarter of an hour and pour over the fish abut ten minutes before serving so as to flavor the fish. Scalloped Parsnips Mash one pint of boiled parsnips, add two tablespoons of butter, one teaspoon of salt, a little pepper, two teaspoons of cream. Mix all the ingredients well, put over the fire and stew until the mixture bubbles then turn into a buttered dish, cover with bread crumbs, dot with butter and brown in the oven. Corn Batter Cakes One pint cornmeal, three-fourth pint of flour, one even teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon of salt, one and a half quarts of sweet milk, two or three eggs. Have a very hot griddle, and grease with a piece of fat middling. Keep the cook in good humor, have a hot fire, and turn quickly. One quart of water can be substituted in scarcity of milk. Eve's Pudding If you want a good pudding, mind what you’re taught: Take of eggs six in number, when bought for a groatThe fruit with which “Eve” her husband did cozen, Well pared, chopped and cored, at least half a dozen; Six ounces of currants, from the stems you must sort, Lest you break out your teeth, and spoil all the sport; Six ounces of bread (let Moll eat the crust), And crumble the rest as fine as the dust; Six ounces of sugar won’t make it too sweet; Some salt and a nutmeg will make it complete. Three hours let it boil, without any futter, But “Adam” won’t eat it without wine and butter. NEXT WEEK: MORE FROM NORM’S FIRST TEXAS COOK BOOK.

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.

Local & Regional News Support Available for Businesses Impacted by the 2021 Wildfires
For hundreds of small businesses in dozens of communities across rural British Columbia, the devastating impact of this season’s wildfires are just one more blow to an economy already struggling from the effects of the pandemic. Since the start of the wildfire season on April 1st, more than 557,459 hectares of area have burned, displacing thousands of people and forcing many businesses to curtail their operations. To help businesses deal with the effects of the wildfires on business stability and continuity, Community Futures British Columbia has launched a dedicated website and toll-free number (1-800-670-9058) to provide businesses with quick and easy access to information, resources, and support. The Community Futures Wildfire Business Support website (https://cfwildfire.ca/) provides a list of links to a range of resources and support available to assist with disaster recovery and mitigation, as well as the latest information on wildfire activity in British Columbia. Among the resources provided are a Business Continuity Workbook and an Agriculture Emergency Preparedness Workbook, both of which were developed by Community Futures following the 2017 wildfires. Disaster Readiness 101 Community Futures is also providing free, online workshops outlining the steps businesses can take to prepare for and recover more quickly from disasters. Disaster Readiness 101 covers the seven things your business can do immediately to avoid being caught off guard. Developed by Colin O’Leary, an expert in economic recovery and business planning, the workshop focuses on several key lessons learned following the 2017 wildfires. The following is a schedule of upcoming online workshops with registration available through the Community Futures Wildfire Business Support website: Friday, August 20, 2021 12 – 1 p.m. Tuesday, August 24, 2021 12 – 1 p.m. For more information call toll free, 1-800-670-9058, or visit the Community Futures Wildfire Business Support website at: https://cfwildfire.ca/resources/ workshops/ About Community Futures Established in 1985, Community Futures is a community-based, economic development program designed to help strengthen and diversity rural communities by providing access to financing and other services to support the start-up and growth of small businesses. There are 34 Community Futures organizations across British Columbia. Following the 2017 wildfires, Community Futures offices in British Columbia established the Wildfire Business Transition Program to provide targeted support to affected businesses.
