BC Hydro to decommission dam to allow fish passage
BC Hydro plans to decommission the Wilsey Dam and Shuswap Falls Powerhouse on the Shuswap River. This will allow salmon access to historical spawning habitat in the river. “After extensive community involvement and our own studies, we have selected decommissioning the dam and powerhouse as the best way forward to restore the river to its original channel for spawning salmon,” says Jen Walker-Larsen, Community Engagement Advisor, BC Hydro. The facility was built in 1929 and represents less than 0.1 per cent of BC Hydro’s total hydroelectric generating capacity. BC Hydro explored two options to restore fish passage in the area. The first option included refurbishing the aging facility and constructing a fishway channel. The second option was decommissioning the facility entirely.

After careful consideration and working closely with Indigenous groups and stakeholders to better understand their perspectives and input, BC Hydro has selected decommissioning the dam and powerhouse as the leading alternative. “Decommissioning instead of refurbishing will return that portion of the river to its original channel,” adds Walker-Larsen. “We expect this will provide a higher chance of achieving successful fish passage as it will create river conditions similar to what existed before the dam was built.” BC Hydro will advance planning for decommissioning and prepare an application to the BC Utilities Commission to obtain approval to cease operations at the facility. BC Hydro expects to complete both of these items within the next 12 to 18 months.

Ever Wonder Why A Piece Of Paper Never Wins A Race?... Its Stationary!
Papyrus
Papyrus is a member of the sedge family and has roots deep in Biblical stories as well as in our early days of communication. It grows freely in Egypt and other African countries and was believed to be the place where Baby Moses was hidden and the beginnings of what we now use as paper. It is an elegant, aromatic plant that is easy to care for and easy to grow except from seed. It is grown now for its decorative purposes although one can still buy paper made from this plant in the form of greeting cards and private stationary, although several companies have had to close due to the lack of use as society moved to email and texting. I wonder what these ancient Egyptians would have thought faced with this future while they struggled on with using this beautiful plant for things like baskets, matts, rope, blankets, sandals, clothing, medicine, perfume and rather unsuccessfully boats as Papyrus absorbs water and that led to sinking. It is easy to grow with no pests to attack it and very few diseases other than a rust. It is a striking looking plant and if you want to see an excellent example you need go no further than IDA Pharmacy here in Lumby! Judy has grown a fine selection of the King Tut and Baby Tut series which is a bit drought tolerant and with this hot summer and Papyrus being a moisture loving plant that does well in ponds and should not be allowed to dry out must have been a labor of love. Papyrus can grow from 18 inches to 4 feet in height in the King Tut series, taller with the plants growing along the Nile. Paper was made by taking the pith of the plant soaking then mashing it, then spread out to dry into thin sheets. It was durable and strong but not foldable, cut into strips of several inches in width then inscribed ,it was rolled and placed in cylinders to preserve it from moisture. A process of cold pressing the stems was used to extract oils for medicines and perfumes. It is non toxic to fish or pets and non invasive as it is very difficult to grow from seed. The rhizomes that are the best way to propagate the plant are also edible both raw and cooked. Optimally the plants should be moved indoors before the frost can damage it and kept moist and warm until spring when it can be
divided. It should be given plenty of light even if lights are used and it may go dormant and die back to the ground but it should recoup when the right elements are available come spring. As you may or may not know I have had an episode of Shingles. Episode my but! This last two weeks have been torture. This is a virus that lives in the neurones throughout our body. It is not contagious to those who have had Chicken Pox or the Vaccine, which is virtually everyone who has had their vaccines from infancy. As we age and our immunity weakens and events such as pandemics help to reduce our immunity though stress these hidden viruses in our body can reactivate and what you get is Shingles. This symptoms vary from headache (Migraine in my experience that leads to small lesions that usually stay to one area and one side of the body. It can, present around the head or face or around the eye area and can affect your vision and can even cause death and on some days that was a consideration. It if left untreated for too long can cause a neuropathy and the pain can last for months. There is a vaccine for Shingles and I will be getting mine as soon as possible after I am well! This Vaccine unlike the COVID vaccine which is about every one this one is just about you and if I may suggest. You're definitely worth it!

How To Spot An Online Hoax The next time an acquaintance shares a shocking article on social media, prompting an almost instant flurry of scandalized comments and polarizing debates, step back for a moment to consider what you’re reading. Hoaxes, rumours and other fake news stories travel at the speed of light these days, so it’s important to think critically before you react. The source The first thing to do when you read an article with a sensationalized headline (i.e. “clickbait”) is to check if the information is corroborated by a credible source (a trusted news organization, for example). If no recognizable news outlet has covered the story, chances are it’s made up or, at the very least, somewhat embellished.
presented. Written material that contains spelling and grammar mistakes, overuses capital letters or punctuation, or includes lots of superlatives should be taken with a grain of salt, as should shocking photos, incredible statistics or quotes from “experts” who may benefit personally from the propagation of the story. Always remember that real journalists who work for credible media organizations are held to a high ethical standard. They must rigorously fact-check their sources and, most of all, remain objective in their coverage.
Why create hoaxes? Hoaxes have been around forever, and are often created purely to mislead the public. They’re sometimes used to harm a particular person or organization, or to spread controversial ideologies. In the digital realm, some hoax creators The format do it to gain more clicks and views, driving up advertisAlso pay attention to the way the information is ing revenue for their website.

Exercising and Aging Woes Do you or someone you know say things like, “I am too old to exercise”, “I have too many aches and pains”, or “Exercise is for young people” …. Some of these may be real or just something we think we have to accept as a normal part of aging. There are valid reasons to why we slow down and become more sedentary as we age. One of the biggest reasons is health problems along with aches and pains. Another big one is worrying about getting injured or falling. Then there are some people who love to use age as an excuse not to exercise, as they simply don’t like it. The real deal is though, that all the reasons not to exercise, are going to be the exact reasons to exercise. As we grow older, exercise in the sense of an active lifestyle, becomes more important the ever. There have been numerous studies proving that physical activity is the pathway to longevity, even if starting in the senior years. Not only do you add years to your life but you have quality of life, you live - living, not live - dying. An active lifestyle will boost energy, protect against chronic disease, help with memory/mind, help manage pain or arthritis and most importantly for some people is, it allows for independence. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be crazy intense
workouts at a gym, rather movement in general. This would include functional strength exercises, stretching and balance. These may look like a morning walk, chair squats and easy side to side, corner to corner stretches. If you have even less mobility and are mostly chair bound there are still things you can do. There are numerous upper body exercises that can be preformed with light weights or soup cans, to leg lifts from sitting, to stretching and reaching for the sky. Whatever it is, just do it and if you do it in a way that it doesn’t feel like exercise then it will be enjoyable and something to look forward too. Some ideas are: • Listen to music or audiobook or even a favourite TV program while marching on the spot. • Walk and window shop • Walk or bike along a well-groomed nature trail and take in the nature around you, even stop to take pictures • Walk with a friend or fur baby – a dog makes a great excuse to get out • Walk the golf course instead of using a cart • Water aerobics – this is one of the best and most comfortable ways to get into exercise, especially if

there is existing pain or stiffness. • Do tai chi or yoga to incorporate balance and flexibility. Balance is imperative to create confidence as it helps maintain standing and stability, whether you’re stationary or moving around. Most importantly, it reduces the risk of falling or the fear of falling. • Try something new – pickle ball has become a favorite sport among people over 50 The most important thing is to start. Even if it’s only 10 minutes to begin with, or getting up every 30 minutes for about 3 minutes to do some sort of activity, can make all the difference. You want to make sure you don’t get discouraged, so start slow and build up from there. Look for next weeks corner on, how to figure out what defines if you are fit or not.

Autumn Drinks
Many distillers are now manufacturing flavoured alcohol, especially vodka. If you have a garden full of fresh herbs, or your favourite taste is something like lemon balm, there’s no reason you cannot infuse the flavours yourself. The procedure is pretty basic, make sure your herbs are free of moisture, put about ½ cup into a clean quart jar, add the zest of a medium organic lemon cut in wide strips, add one bottle of vodka (750ml, at least 80 proof). Put the lid on tightly and store ina cool dark place for 3 days (shake daily). Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter.

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.
Don't Believe Everything You See On Tiktok Or Other Social Media I don't usually complain about things in my article, but this time I am angry and disappointed so I thought I would bring this up. At the market this past Saturday when I was unlocking the bathrooms to get things ready for our market, I was very disgusted because inside the women's washroom someone had vandalised the inside of it. There was toilet paper everywhere including on the
ceiling. The bathroom doors needed to be repaired. When I called someone at the village about it, I was told that the bathrooms had been vandalised all week, and that at one point the women's washroom outside door had been ripped off by someone using a crowbar. They had to wait a couple of days before a new one came in. This is not only costly to the village, and the taxpayers, but it also leaves a bad impression to the tourists. The person on the phone I was talking to from the village had told me that people are getting the ideas from TIKTOK and other SOCIAL MEDIA that vandalising something is fun! Don't Believe Everything You See On Any Social Me-
dia, it is unlikely true. The village and the people that live here are constantly trying to improve Lumby, not just for the tourists but also for the people that live here, which by the way includes you. Show some RESPECT! Let me tell you this: VANDALISING ANYTHING IS NOT COOL! You might think it's all fun and glory, and you post the stupid things that you do on all social Continued on page 9

Ways to Reduce Stress for Senior Caregivers
Did you know that there is an actual term for the burnout that many senior caregivers experience? Wellknown in the healthcare community are the terms caregiver syndrome, caregiver fatigue and caregiver stress. Although these terms are used interchangeably, the condition is not yet outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. No matter what term is used, symptoms of caregiver stress are real and can include many physical and psychological issues. These include insomnia, depression, fatigue, emotional eating, lowered immunity, more risk of chronic illness like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other ailments. Assistance for senior caregivers is available in a variety of ways. Though it may feel difficult to ask for help, there are many programs and services available for the purpose of helping to relieve caregiver stress. Accepting help through others via respite care, transportation services, meal prep, social activities and other community services can reduce the burden and stress that caregivers experience.
Another way to combat caregiver stress is to improve caregiver morale through gratitude. Seniors receiving care, and their family and friends, can provide positive comments and feedback for the caregiver in-person or via emerging web-based platforms. Receiving gratitude can help the caregiver to feel appreciated and help alleviate negative emotions resulting from caregiver fatigue. “The concept is simple: if the reward for a healthcare worker, and in our case a hospice caregiver, is derived from helping people through hard times, then the best remedy for burnout or emotional exhaustion is gratitude from those who were helped.” In addition to receiving gratitude, community support and resources, it is important for caregivers to stay connected to their own family and friends. Many caregivers can feel isolated when consumed with caregiving. Regularly talking with a friend, family member, clergy, therapist, or fellow caregivers can offer helpful support and understanding. Often times, the health of a caregiver can too easily
be ignored for long periods of time. It is important to recognize the symptoms and to seek help. Check out more tips online @ Hospice Caregiver Burnout: How Can it Be Prevented? (1800hospice.com)
6 Tips To Reduce Fatigue Among Seniors Have you started to feel increasingly tired as you get older? If so, here are six tips to help you boost your energy level. 1. Get enough sleep. Getting the right amount of rest is the best way to recharge your batteries. Whether you go to bed early or take a nap during the day, making sure you get enough sleep is important. 2. Eat well. Both consuming heavy meals and eating too little can make you feel sluggish. Instead, try to eat light meals and small, protein-packed snacks to keep your energy level raised. 3. Move your body regularly. Doing a bit of light activity every day can help you increase the amount of energy you have available. In addition, if you regularly sit for long periods of time, you
should take short, frequent breaks to stretch your muscles. 4. Take nutritional supplements. You may be feeling fatigued because your diet is lacking certain nutrients. It’s a good idea to talk to your doctor to see if taking supplements or vitamins might help combat your low energy level. 5. Keep busy. Regularly taking on new hobbies and projects can help prevent boredom. Keeping busy can help you increase your energy level. 6. Use light therapy. Sunlight is a natural mood booster that can help rejuvenate you. In addition, light therapy lamps are beneficial for combating fatigue, especially in the winter. If you’ve tried everything and still feel tired, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

Belle from Gold Fox Acres Written by Norma Bouzek, photos by Hayley Bouzek and Kim MacGarvey In the summer of 2019, the farm was expecting 3 babies: one from, Isis, our llama, and two from our alpacas, Sari and Yuki. Also that summer, Hayley had planned a vacation. Yuki gave birth to a healthy baby boy (Brew), then on June 5, Isis gave birth to Belle, a huarizo (the offspring from a llama (mom) and an alpaca (dad)).
The 2nd day we saw no improvement, so we took Belle into our house. Belle could either hold up her head or stand, but not both at the same time. We came to the conclusion that Belle had been born prematurely. Hayley’s vacation was approaching and she was worried that Belle would not make it. For the first few days we fed Belle with a syringe, and when she got a little stronger we started bottle feeding her. Belle gradually got stronger, but still was not standing on her own when my daughter left. I persevered as this young creature deserved a chance at The birth and survival of Belle survival. When she was born Belle had issues standing up and The day after Hayley left, I awoke to the fact that nursing, so we held Belle up to assist her. The 1st night Sari, the other alpaca, had given birth to a baby girl my daughter slept outside in a tent beside baby Belle named Chardonnay, luckily she was healthy. and Isis. I kept bottle feeding Belle, and we marked the high points like when THE LUMBY & DISTRICT she could hold her head up to PUBLIC MARKET drink out of Open every Saturday until the bottle.

rounded the corner and that she would survive. At this point Belle was moved outside to a dog pen on our back porch. At 2 weeks old we took Belle back out to Isis and were blessed by the fact that Isis was able and willing to take her back and nurse Belle herself. Belle thrived and she still loved her human parents, as well as her real mom. Goat Yoga at Gold Fox Acres At one month old, Belle participated in a goat yoga class at the farm. Training to go on a new adventure. When Belle was about 8 months old, a Vernon senior’s residence asked if we could bring Belle in. To prepare Belle for this, we had to train her to get into the back seat of my car (Toyota Matrix), as the back of the truck was too high, and taking a horse trailer to downtown Vernon was not an option. I took the car out to the barnyard and we loaded Belle into the back seat, we got her settled and then took her for a drive down our road. When we got back home, we unloaded Belle from the driver’s side rear door in front of an unfamiliar building. Then we reloaded Belle again, went for another short ride, and then took her back to the barnyard.

Time
In Loving Memory
Photos and Memories From The Lumby Museum Ethel Mary Derry (nee Inglis) (1892-1976) came to Lumby from the United States when she was 6 weeks old. In 1912, she married Sam Derry and raised 6 children: Fred (Bunny) Derry, Novo Derry, Larrie (Parky) Derry, Robert Derry, Fay (Mrs. Mike Savoy) and
Maida (Mrs. Cyril Hopkins). In 1924, Sam built the "Derry" home at 2078 Park Avenue in Lumby. The Derry family operated a dairy farm on Shuswap Avenue (now part of Bell Pole & True Leaf operations) and Sam was well remembered as the "Lumby Milk Man" and owner of the Lumby Flour and Feed store.

media, hoping someone will like it. Well guess what? It is only the same kind of people with the same idiotic, stupid mindset as you that will think it's good, IT IS NOT GOOD, FUN, COOL, ETC. One day when you have something that you cherish, and you will. No matter what it is, it could be something that can never be replaced and someone steals it, breaks it, or does something so despicable to it that you can't believe or understand why it happened to you, think back to what you did. Don't bother to whine to anyone or try to get anyone to feel sorry for you. Because this is your KARMA! Whether you believe in karma or not it will happen to you, as what goes around comes around.
So, the next time you plan on doing something to someone or their things, think about what you are doing first, and what it could cost you down the road! When they find the uncaring,disrespectful, stupid people that did this, and by the way one day you will be found out. My thoughts to you are: they set you to unpaid work cleaning up the community, which includes the outdoor bathrooms, cleaning out the sewers, ditches, septic tanks, and other gross jobs for at least a year if not more, with a very hefty fine which you would have to pay, not your parents. You would have to get a job, with all of your income going to pay off the hefty fine with absolutely no money left over for you. Then you possibly would understand that VANDALISING ANYTHING AT ALL IS NOT FUN!

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 100
May 17, 2019 our visit to Vernon and the seniors When the day came for our visit to the seniors residence, 8 month old Belle loaded like a champ, we pulled up to the loading zone door and the coordinator was there to greet us. We took Belle in the elevator to the 3rd floor, and the residents and staff were over the moon to meet her. Belle was a little bit intimidated, but she did okay as long as my daughter was right beside her. But when Hayley handed me the lead rope and moved away to remove her sweater, Belle was not happy. We visited with some
of the residents on three floors and they all loved our little surprise. Before getting back on the elevator to leave the 4th floor, my daughter needed to use the washroom, and luckily they were wheelchair accessible, as Belle had to accompany her. We returned to the lobby, took Belle out to the loading area and loaded her back into my car, with my daughter to keep her calm. It was a wonderful experience to bring a smile to so many people’s faces and Belle was a CHAMP. Back at home on the farm Belle is still a very sweet and gentle soul, and she loves visitors who come to our petting zoo. She is always more than happy to greet people, and is very willing to give them a getting- to- know- you sniff.
