Lumby Days 2022

Well, with the closure of the first Lumby Days we have experienced in a couple of years I can honestly say I Survived! It was extremely busy and exhausting but I met so many new people from as far away as New Found Land and so many from our area and parts of BC and the many new comers to our area and also had a lot of fun.

Thank you to my dear friend Bonny who came with her truck and helped me set up and then the much easier packing up at the end your support was greatly appreciated and also Thank You to several friends who stopped by giving me a couple of much needed breaks and for filling my water bottles to hydrate me and my plants. I heard that on Saturday we had about 30 thousand visitors to our wonderful event and oh my heavens it certainly was busy!

So many people are still planting their gardens and although for some plants it is too late to plant from seed, bedding plants were in high demand and will make up for the time delay that was caused by our extremely cool spring. I had so many compliments on the health and vigour of my plants, the progress of this years purchases and the years of dedicated shopping with me were so warming to my heart!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful time this last weekend and am so glad the weather cooperated as we are normally faced with rain and rising water levels. A few people came with descriptions of damage done by deer and other regular garden pest and I hope that I was able to give some sympathy and constructive advise as to possible solutions.

This coming weekend at the Lumby and District Public Market I will bring lots of Chilli Pepper grounds that can be used to mix a solution that will help deter Deer, Rabbits, and some flying pest that are doing some damage. Please come and grab some samples and give it a try. I will also be bringing some beautiful perennials for your yard at excellent prices and will also have companion plants that will beautify and assist you in keeping deer away from your pre-

cious plants like tomatoes that I hear have been high on the list of plants destroyed.

It is definitely warm enough In most places to plant although some higher elevations and tucked away places are still being watched closely for weather that still does not want to cooperate although row covers and other methods are being used to ward off small disasters. I have planted very little in my garden so far but my major concern at this time of year is supplying everyone with what they need and want and I am not worried at all about getting planted over the next couple of weeks.

Many people enjoyed learning about edible plants that one can plant in the garden and enjoy in salads, soups and deserts. My favourite is the Nasturtium with its spicy, peppery flavour, there is nothing like picking a Cherry Tomato from the vine and wrapping a leaf from the Nasturtium around it for an uplifting treat. Although the Cherry Tomato is not available several plants were devoured in samples to show everyone what the possibilities will be. It is a fast growing and stunning plant either in baskets or planted in the ground amongst other plants. Hardy and beautiful!

There are many other flowering plants that are edible and extremely healthy to eat that we rarely think of as edible. Pansies, Violas, Chive Flowers, Lavender, Dandelion, Begonia a pleasant citrus flavour that should be consumed in moderation especially for those with kidney stone tendencies, rheumatism or gout.

There are also many plants that should not be consumed like Hydrangea, Daffodil, Lilly of the Valley, Fox Glove, Dahlia, Alyssum, Holly and Tulips. These can cause simple stomach problems or discomforts such as skin irritations or lead to some serious medical conditions that can happen with the ingestion of the flowers of plants like Dahlia and Morning Glory.

Happy Gardening!

Mikkie’s Corner

Health & Nutrition

Cooking Methods and Nutrients in Foods A continuation from last week’s corner in healthy cooking with Barbequing, this week is how to cook other foods to get best bang for nutrients. There’s no best one way for choosing the best cooking method for nutrition. With vegetables, nutrients react differently to various types of cooking methods and their reactions also vary across the different types of vegetables.

These variations are caused by the cellular structure of vegetables. Depending on where in the cell a nutrient is stored, cooking can do the following: • Make the nutrient more readily absorbed (as the cell wall softens) • Break down the nutrient itself • Kill off oxidizing agents that would otherwise reduce the quantity of that nutrient Vitamin C - aka ascorbic acid, is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues.

When many people hear Vitamin C, citrus fruits like oranges, lemons and limes come to mind. Although there are many vegetables rich in Vitamin C as well, and you are more likely to cook with these as opposed to the citrus fruits mentioned. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, and spinach are all great sources of Vitamin C, but how you cook them matters to whether the Vitamin C is retained. Boiling is one of the most popular ways to prepare these vegies, but unfortunately not great for retaining vitamin C content.

Because vitamin C is water-soluble, it seeps out of the vegetables and into the water and down the drain.

It can reduce the vitamin C content of vegetables by more than 50 percent!

Vitamin C is also heat sensitive so heating for too long will do same thing. To optimize vitamin C intake, think low heat cooking as, sautéing, microwaving, or, better yet, eat them raw.

Vitamin K – think blood & bones. Vitamin K helps with blood clotting and maintaining healthy bones.

Vitamin K is primarily found in leafy greens, spinach, chard, beet greens and kale. It is a less finicky

vitamin, when it comes to cooking.

Spinach, for example, retains most of its vitamin K content regardless of how you cook it. Chard is another one where most cooking methods will actually increase the levels of available vitamin K. Beta-Carotene (Vitamin A) - is a phytonutrient which the body coverts into Vitamin A. It supports the immune system and optimizes healthy retinal function (eyes) Beta-carotene is what makes carrots and yams orange and are excellent sources. To absorb more, lightly boil or steam carrots along with spinach and chard.

Although spinach and chard contain slightly less beta carotene, they are still great sources.

Vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant that neutralize free radicals that are highly reactive molecules that are harmful to cells. Vitamin E also helps maintain our immune system. Vegetables that contain vitamin E are root vegetables like potatoes, carrots and leafy greens like spinach, chard…

Depending on the vegetable, cooking method matters. When root vegetables are cooked no matter what the method, levels of vitamin E always decrease.

Leafy greens, however, when cooked, available vitamin E increases significantly.

Onto meat, yup meat has vitamins too, specifically B vitamins. Meat also contains important minerals and certain fats. Of course, meat has to be cooked, but how long, temperature and how you are cooking the meat matters to what you retain.

Unfortunately, when cooking meat, there are other concerns you should take into consideration that can be worse than trying to retain majority of the nutrients. As mentioned in last weeks “corner” harmful chemicals HCAs (heterocyclic amines) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can become part

of the meat from the smoke that is created when cooking at high temperatures.

To minimize your intake of PAHs and HCAs, avoid grilling and searing your meat. Instead opt for baking or broiling!

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.

Trains, Trains, Trains

Did you go to Lumby Days this year? What a very busy place indoors and outdoors. Cars were lined along the highway, up Miller Street, Catt, and just about anywhere they could find a parking spot. Someone told me that on Saturday there were over 40,000 people there, WOW! Outside there were food vendors, entertainment of all kinds including music, the car show, and the beer gardens.

Inside the buildings was the gun show, Monashee Arts Council, the silent auction, the vendors and the North Okanagan Model Railway Assoc.

Every year that we have Lumby Days, the model railroaders are there. These guys were right across from me with their great display. There were a lot of people that would stop by and watch the trains go by. Some would ask questions, some would just watch the display. The men running the trains would gladly answer any questions the people asked. It was very interesting hearing what they had to say.

In 1976 The North Okanagan Model Railway As-

sociation was established. In the beginning a group of local model railroaders would meet in a member's garage, as the club grew they moved to what is now their permanent location on the second floor of the Greenhow building which is at the historic O'Keefe Ranch in Vernon BC a local tourist attraction which is owned and operated by the city of Vernon, and also funding from RDNO. The railroader club pays a nominal fee per year, which then allows them to provide a historical and well maintained piece of history in the operation of the railway display. This display at the O'Keefe ranch runs every season from May to October, with the push of a button there is full sound. Every year this display will be seen by about 30,000 people. In 1996 the layout that measures 36 feet by 18 feet which not only has the model trains, but also very scenic local topography and industries had been in the May issue of Rail Model Craftsman. When travelling to various events like Lumby Days the size is brought down to 34 feet by 16 feet, and has 3 show loops that are continuous. Each layout is Digital Command Control (DCC.) When go-

Pictured from left to right: Mike, Jim, Dave, George, John, Sandy, Dave and Jason ing to events in Vancouver, Edmonton, and other places the display was transported by a dedicated trailer.

The talk around the table is to look for a new portable layout that will have revised and improved technology to display the model railroading to the public.

Check the model railroaders out on their Facebook page, or their website: http://vernonmodlerailroaders.com/

CITIZENS OF LUMBY We celebrated Our 65th “Finally”

Wow oh wow!!! Our 65th celebration of Lumby Days was just amazing. We have to say our village was pretty darn full all weekend! We just know how to celebrate!

It takes an entire community to pull a show like this off and you people did just that.

Too numerous to mention are the hours of volunteers who prepare, plan and fund raise for this event. We have a terrific Lumby Days Committee who worked hard to co-ordinate their events but also make it fun and enjoyable during the months of preparation. You did such a great job again!

visitors, entering contests – all these things make Lumby Days a success.

To the Clubs, Organizations and Vendors who participated during Lumby Days, thank you for contributing your long hours.

Knowing you were successful in your fund raising efforts makes it all worthwhile.

To the RCMP and Volunteers who were visible all weekend giving us guidance and keeping our fair safe, thank you.

Thank you businesses for all your donations, sponsorship, in kind gifts and participation.

To the volunteers, who sold buttons, participated in set-up and clean-up, security, info booth, Community Pride students working with committee members and all the various tasks, you did a great job.

Without your generosity, Lumby Days as we know it, would not be possible. There are so many behind the scene things happening, parade traffic control, the helping hands during activities, being friendly to our

One of the highlights of Lumby Days has become our parade. This year was a record for entries in the parade. Such a big thanks to all the co-coordinators and especially the entrants who prepared the floats and

those participating and having fun. If you were one of those who joined the crowds to watch the parade – thank you as well.

Highlighting Lumby Days this year was the car show hosted by Cruising the Okanagan.

This was a huge crowd draw as well as the Stage performers..... to the organizers, congrats on awesome job! Shooting Star Midway came in with expanded rides and continue to be the main force that keeps our youth attraction to Lumby Days. There were attractions in every corner of our Lumby Days event and they all add to the success of our weekend.

It came together so well and it was a wonderful promotional weekend for Lumby and its 65th Family Festival. I think there was a little something for all ages and I hope you all had a good time.

Congratulations everyone and thank you.

In a lead up to boating season, officers from the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP and RCMP West Coast Marine Services held some refresher training sessions out on Okanagan Lake this past weekend.

With warmer weather on the horizon, we’re anticipating another busy summer on the water here in the North Okanagan, states Constable Chris Terleski, Media Relations Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. Like many people, we’re excited to be back on the lakes. These proficiency checks are a great way for us to make sure our officers and equipment are ready for the patrols we will be conducting on our local waterways throughout the summer.

Police want to remind everyone that safety starts well before you hit the waves and are offering some tips to ensure your day out on the water will be safe and enjoyable.

Remember, alcohol and boating don’t mix, adds Terleski. Not only is operating a vessel while impaired a criminal offence, it’s incredibly dangerous for you and everyone else. We want everyone to have a safe and fun summer. Make responsible choices and whatever activity you are enjoying, do it safely.

3 Tips For Having The Perfect Prom Night

Though it’s natural to want to share highlights from your prom, there’s a limit to what you should be posting online. Here are some do's and don’ts for making the most of social media on prom night.

• DO use your prom’s designated hashtag when posting photos online. This will help your classmates easily find them.

• DON’T forget that what you post on the internet can never entirely be erased. If you wouldn’t want your grandma or future employer seeing a photo, don’t share it.

• DON’T make nasty comments about other people. It’s also best to avoid posting videos or pictures that could potentially embarrass a peer. Not only are these actions hurtful, they make you look mean.

• DO take your photos early in the evening, when your hair and makeup are perfect.

• DON’T spend the whole night on your phone.

You’re at prom to make memories, not stare at a screen.

You shouldn’t be afraid to share your most prom-tastic moments on social media, just be sure to use your common sense to avoid any unwelcome repercussions.

LUMBY RESIDENTS

VILLAGE OF LUMBY

You’ve been planning prom for months, but have you thought of everything? Here are three tips to make sure your prom is truly perfect.

1. Break in your shoes.

There’s nothing worse than wearing shoes that give you blisters. Let nothing stop you from dan­cing the night away by breaking in your new footwear before the big night.

2. Try on your clothes.

Be sure to try on your outfit and accessories a couple of weeks before prom. If you need to make any last minute alterations, you’ll still have time to do so.

3. Don’t forget to eat.

Make it a priority to pack away a healthy breakfast and lunch on the day of prom.

You’ll ensure you have enough energy and stamina for the party to come.

The last prom tip we have for you is to have fun. The night will be over before you know it, so make the most of it.

Arts & Culture from the Edge

A wonderfully Artistic Lumby Days After being on hold for the past few years Lumby Days was back as a resounding success. MAC started Friday evening with the setting up of the Hometown Pride Photography contest, as well as Home is Where the Heart is Art Show.

The amazing vibrant showcase continued into Saturday with a day full of Artistic Hands On events such as: Raku with Larry MacGregor and Monica Brown; demonstrations and showcases from the Monashee Spinners and Weavers, The Vernon Carvers, Monashee Quilters Circle and Michelle Goode from Basket Case Studios.

On Sunday MAC was excited to announce the winners of this year's Photography contest and Art show including the People's Choice where over 670 people put in their ballots for each!

Happening Now - Hometown Pride Art Show Join us as we celebrate Hometown Pride in this wonderful collection by Local Artists from our amazing community. For some people Lumby and its amazing surrounding area, has been home since they were born and for some it became home after a move. This collection of Art captures all the elements that make up the places we call Home.

Call for Artists; Join us in the exploration of small works of art staring a favorite the Artist Trading Card!

Started in 1997 by Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann the ATC project as it is often called builds on different traditions. Miniature art has been in existence for centuries tracing its heritage back to the illustrated manuscripts of scribes in the Far East and Europe prior to

the 15th century.

Everyone can make Artist Trading Cards! It’s a great way to work on developing your art skills. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches and they are to be traded only, as such MAC will be hosting their 1st trading event at the end of the show.

Other small works of art will be on display and sale as well with a maximum size of 8"x8" or perhaps you create other forms of miniature art. We want to see it!

Join us for this exciting new show!
