More Camping Tips

• You can compress the diameter of your rolled up sleeping bag by running over it with your car.

• Take this simple test to see if you qualify for solo camping. Shine a flashlight into one ear. If the beam shines out the other ear, do not go into the woods alone.

• A two-man pup tent does not include two men or a pup.

• A potato baked in the coals for one hour makes an excellent side dish. A potato baked in the coals for three hours makes an excellent hockey puck.

• You can start a fire without matches by eating Mexican food, then breathing on a pile of dry sticks.

• In emergency situations, you can survive in the wilderness by shooting small game with a slingshot made from the elastic waistband of your underwear.

• The guitar of the noisy teenager at the next campsite makes excellent kindling.

• The sight of a bald eagle has thrilled campers for generations. The sight of a bald man, how ever, does absolutely nothing for the eagle.

• It’s entirely possible to spend your whole vacation on a winding mountain road behind a large motor home.

• Bear bells provide an element of safety for hik ers in grizzly country. The tricky part is getting them on the bears.

Provincial news

B.C.’S COVID-19 Immunization Plan Continues With Fall Boosters

People in B.C. can look ahead to their next COVID-19 vaccine dose with the Province announcing a fall booster program as the next step in its COVID-19 immunization plan.

B.C.’s COVID-19 vaccination strategy has helped keep people protected from the severe illness associated with getting this virus. With the fall and winter respiratory illness season approaching, the Province is offering a booster dose to protect people 12 years and older and provide them with sustained protection over these difficult months when respiratory infections increase.

The Province first rolled out a booster program in October 2021. Since then, many British Columbians have received their booster dose, but ap proximately 1.3 million individuals still need to do so. Public health advises that everyone should get their first booster dose as soon as possible to strengthen and extend their protection.

Since April 2022, a second booster dose has been recommended and available to people living in longterm care facilities, people over 70, Indigenous people over 55, and those of all ages who are immunosup pressed, to ensure this group maintains a high level of protection against poor outcomes from COVID-19.

The most recent recommendation from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) is that people at increased risk of severe illness and those 65 years and older should receive a booster in the fall. For all other individuals between 12 and 64, NACI and the Province also encourage a fall booster. NACI also recommends that all fall booster shots should be done six months or more since the last one.

Health Canada and NACI have started evaluating new versions of the COVID-19 vaccines that have been adapted to the Omicron variant. The Province expects these vaccines to be available to people in B.C. in the fall.

Although the number of cases has recently gone down due to high levels of vaccinations, COVID-19 is still circulating in all communities in B.C. Public health is keeping a close eye on how the virus be haves to continue to provide the best advice possi-

ble to protect British Columbians, B.C.’s health-care system and communities. This is why a fall booster is recommended.

Although people are advised to wait until the fall to receive their booster, those under 70 who got their last shot six months or more ago and who feel they have unique or special circumstances, can make an appointment for a second booster through the call centre.

Vaccinations for children aged six months to four years are subject to Health Canada approval and are anticipated to be coming soon. Parents are strongly encouraged to register their child now online: www. getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca

Similar to the vaccine for children five to 11, the vaccine program for children aged six months to four years will draw on a separate supply of vaccine designed for small children and will be delivered in clinics appropriate for that age group.

People who have not had their first booster are not protected enough from severe illness related to COVID-19 and are not up to date with their pro tection. Those who have had COVID-19 still need a booster to ensure they are protected.

COVID-19 vaccinations are available in participating pharmacies and health authority clinics through out the province. People can make appointments through Get Vaccinated BC.

Quick Facts:

• As of July 6, 2022, 2,760,192 third doses have been administered in B.C. This is 59.5% of the 12+ pop ulation.

• All recommended booster doses are mRNA vac cines. Those who received AstraZeneca for the first or second dose are recommended to receive Moderna or Pfizer for the booster.

• Vaccine effectiveness data from early April through early May 2022, when Omicron variant activity was very high in Canada, shows that people vaccinated with a complete primary series plus one booster dose, had a risk of being hospitalized approximately

When Does It Rain Money?… When There Is Change In The Weather! Roses

I have heard from a couple of people regarding Black Spot on their Roses. This problem is a result of a spores that can affect the leaves and stem of Roses greatly reducing the blooms as well as the overall look of the plant. It is considered one of the most difficult to overcome of all the disease and pest that Roses will get.

This year with the wetter and cooler spring weather and increased humidity I’m sure many Roses are suffering from this problem. It presents as black circular spots on the leaves and can also appear on the stems of the plant. All leaves and stems should be removed and burned, you should also do a serious pruning to open up the plant for better air circulation.

Try keeping the foliage as dry as possible so water around the base and do so early in the day to allow the plant to dry off by nightfall.

Be sure to plant your Roses in the sunniest part of your yard. In the fall remove all leaves from the plant to keep the spore from overwintering in your soil cold temperatures will not kill it. A dormant spray is also recommended and should be applied very early in spring.

You should also spray the plant thoroughly with a foliar fungicide such as Neem oil, or a Copper or Sulphur bases spray. You can also use a tablespoon of Baking Soda in a gallon of water with a small amount of dishwashing soap. This can be used weekly and will also help your Roses with other viral or fungal issues as well as any pests such as Aphids, Mites and Powdery Mildew.

Some caution must be taken with this as it should not be applied if the air temperature will be above 30 degrees. If it is going to be this warm you can swap out the Baking Soda with Potassium Bicar bonate which is readily available and can be used in your household applications and cooking as Baking Soda is actually Sodium Bicarbonate. Apply this mixture weekly throughout the growing season be sure to get the underside of the leaves and the stem as well. As for pests that seem to adore Roses soap and water, Neem oil, pyrethrins (made from a member of the Chrysanthemum family) work really well.

You can also companion plant with plants that draw predatory insects into your garden, these in clude Queen Anne’s Lace, Parsley, Dill, Clove, Fennel and Yarrow. Beneficial insects can be purchased like Lady Bugs, Praying Mantis and Green Lacewing but that works best in an enclosed place.

Again I was away from the market last Saturday but I will be back for the upcoming weekend where we will be celebrating Christmas in July! Come down and join us for what promises to be a fun weekend!

Happy Gardening!

Do You Need To Get Your Head Examined?

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a brain cancer ous tumor that happens in adults. It is very rare that this type of cancer will spread to other parts of the body. Over 13,000 people between the ages of 45 -70 are diagnosed with this cancer every year. Although men are at a higher risk , this cancer can affect any gender.

There are a few factors that could increase your risk of this cancer: being exposed to chemicals, like pesti cides, synthetic rubber or vinyl chloride, radiation to your head. Sometimes it is genetic.

GBM symptoms can start quickly, putting pressure on your brain. Some of the symptoms could be:  Blurred or double vision. Headaches. Loss of appetite. You could have memory problems. Your mood and personality may have changed. You may feel more weakness in your muscles, or have more balance problems. Feelings of nausea or you may vomit. Start to have seizures. You may have speech problems, or feel

your sensations like numbness, tingling.

If your doctor thinks you may have  a brain tumor of any kind, they would prob ably order some tests like MRI, Ct Scan or even take a biopsy of a tumor.

Doctors use a system to grade your GBM, 1 -4. #1 tumors are slow growing, and not very aggressive. Once the tumor hits grade 4 it will grow very fast, and be very aggressive.

If you feel you have these symptoms see your health provider.

This disease is the same brain cancer that killed the lead singer of the Tragically Hip Gord Downie a few years ago.

Saddle Mountain is always looking for volunteers in different areas, if you have some time on your hands, come and talk to Sharon, our volunteer coordinator.

What’s A Continuing Care Retirement Community?

Are you considering a visit to a seniors’ residence or retirement home in anticipation of a move for yourself or your loved ones? Have you considered a continuing

care retirement community? Here’s what you need to know.

The concept

Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) are characterized by an abil ity to adapt from independent living and assisted living to memory care and nurs ing home services. It allows the residents to age in place, with supports varying ac cording to their shifting levels of mobility and autonomy. The accessibility options may be in a single building or in a complex depending on the establishment.

The advantages

CCRCs provide residents with plenty of flexibility and allow for adaptive support to meet them wherever they are on life’s journey. It ensures long-term care by enabling occupants to stay in the same facility even as their health and abilities decline. In conventional senior care, the resident must change

institutions as they lose their autonomy, further complicating their condition. The consistency provided by CCRCs minimizes this disruption.

Talk to a seniors’ residential consultant to find a suitable retirement home in your area.

Whitevalley Community Resource centre would like to thank our sponsors: Interior Health and The United Way.

Water Wars

We all know water is good and we should drink it. Our survival depends on it and we could only survive a few days without it. The body needs it for almost every process, including: regulating body temperature through sweating and breathing, aiding in diges tion by forming saliva and breaking down food, too moistening mucous membranes. It also lubricates and cushions joints and protects sensitive tissues. Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes 50% to 70% of body weight. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly.

8oz of water 8x per day is what is recommended. It is hard to nail down where this 8x8 rule came from, but the thought is it may be based on a fluid intake of 1ml per calorie of food consumed. Ex if on a 2000 calorie diet per day = 2000ml or 64 oz = 8x8

This is a good goal or starting place for most people to make sure they get enough. The truth is however, that this may not be required for some people and a little less is okay. For others it’s not enough. On a hot summer day or if exercising and sweating then more is likely needed.

Your fluid intake is probably adequate if:

• You rarely feel thirsty (there may be exceptions to this)

• Your urine is colorless or light yellow

To prevent dehydration and another way to make sure you are getting enough, is to drink:

• With each meal and between meals

• Before, during and after exercise

• If you feel thirsty Next is the debate of what is better to drink for our bodies, room temperature, warm to hot, or cold water. In the end it really comes to preference and as long as we are hydrated it doesn’t really matter.

Although different water tempera tures can help your body in different ways.

Warm to hot water can help break up phlegm and help clear sinuses when not feeling well. It also appears to fight bacteria better. Too hot of water ob viously can be damaging to burning esophagus and mouth and can lead to certain cancers if taking in too often. It should be cooled somewhat to be able to drink without having to blow to cool off with every sip.

Room temperature or warm water can be beneficial in the way of breaking down food, helping with constipation, and blood circulation.

Cold water can help burn more cal ories and aid in weight loss. More importantly it can cool down the body on a hot summers day or when exercising intensely. When we sweat it evaporates from the skin and ener gy is absorbed in the air, cooling the body. But if you add to the sweating with hot water, it’s a bit counter productive. Sweating to the point where it’s dripping on the ground and therefore not evaporating, then cold is best.

Best studied cases of this come from athletes. Cold water hydrated and cooled them down the fastest. It appears sweating stops before fluid can completely be incorporated into the body. There is some sort of reflex that acknowledges liquid intake and shows it kicks in more with cold water.

On the flip side in the winter and cold temperatures, warm to hot water, helps warm you up by reducing shivering; You watch any Everest documentary and you will find out a warm beverage is very important.

Basically, drinking water temperature to whatever is best or desired for you at the time, along with mak ing sure to get enough to stay hydrated, is what you should do.

Take note water in the form of herbal teas or plain flavoured waters all count as water intake. Even reg ular coffee and tea will give some hydration, although not as good as the latter options. We also get about 20% of water intake from foods we eat in a day.

It's a Jungle out there!

With all the rain we had, then the sun, then the rain again, the wild grass in my garden grew taller than me. We don't have a lawn, we have gravel down instead, so the grass was in my garden. How it got there I have no idea, as I only plant flowers not grass.

I had been very busy, I didn't have time to pull the grass out. When I finally had some time, I went out to the backyard. Yikes! I was standing beside the grass. It really was taller than me. It was like walking through a jungle, I was just hoping no wild animals or snakes that live in the real jungles wouldn't jump out at me. I started pulling out the tall grass. Holy Cow, the roots took forever to pull out, and when they did come out I swear the roots were just as long as the grass was tall!

That will teach me to just close the door and ignore the overwhelming grass!

grass had come back, and it looked like there was even more there. UGH!

I had no choice, on the days that it was sunny I started to go out to the garden in the morning before  going to work.

When the sun came out for a couple of days I pulled and I pulled. I only had Sundays to do this, but it got hot fast so I could only be out there for awhile. It seemed like it was never ending. Then it rained again for days. When I looked outside the

OBITUARIES

THOMPSON

December 27, 1946 - July 13, 2022

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Francis “Dewey” ompson on July 13, 2022 at the age of 75 years. He was born December 27, 1946 to Verna and Clarence ompson in Regina, SK. He moved to Lumby at age 4 with his mom and his sister Linda. He leaves to mourn his wife Ann Marie “Cookie” of 55 years; his son Tony and his wife Mel; granddaughters Ciara and Carly; mother-in-law Margaret; and fur friends Bubbles, Remi, Sailor and Baker. Predeceased by his mum Verna; dad Clarence; step-dad Elseor; sisters Linda, Shirley and Evon; brother Wayne; nephew Jeremy; brothers-in-law Butch, Lawrence and Lenny as well as father-in-law Bob Derry. He is also survived by his siblings Darryl, Ina, Leah, Mamie, Verna, Joe; sister-in-law Donna and brother in-law Don Rosin; nieces and nephews Tracey (special friend), Linaya, Shandee, Archiee, Drew, Garet, Aaron, Ayla, Ricki, Joey, Tara, Devon, Tanya, Dexter, Jenny and Trenton as well as numerous extended family and friends.

Dewey worked at Crown Zellerbach, DC Trucking, Leo’s Esso Service, Ohashi Brother’s Logging, Chaput Brothers Logging and NORD {Village of Lumby) as the Recreation Facilities Manager. He had spent hours volunteering at the re hall where he was the Chief at one time. He also volunteered at the River Ridge Golf Course, and was instrumental in the construction of the Royals Stadium in Lumby as well as the Lumby Curling Club. Dewey was a minor league coach and a driving force in the coordination of Funtastics in Lumby.

Special thanks to Dewey’s doctor, Dr Boucher as well as to Kyle & sta of Lumby IDA for their exceptional care and service over the years.

In lieu of owers, donations in Dewey’s memory may be made to Canuck Place https://www.canuckplace.org/faqs/donors/.

At Dewey’s request, there will be no service.

That is pretty tiring. Getting up even earli er than usual, weeding for about an hour and a half, showering, chang ing clothes then going to work for 6-7 hours.

Now I finally have some help, which is great for me.

OBITUARIES

One thing scares me though, I think it might rain today, as I hear the thunder cracking, so when it's sunny tomorrow, is there going to be more grass? And if so how much will there be, and how tall?

July 6, 1926 – July 7, 2022

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Elsie’s passing.

She was the daughter of William and Ruby Hilton.

Elsie was predeceased by her loving husband Colin Mooney. She leaves behind her children, Marsha-Lea (Ivan), Dayleen (Gary), Charla (Bubs), and James (Wanda). Elsie was predeceased by her siblings - Colleen, Luvera, William, and Robert. Elsie will be missed by her 10 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren, and 4 great great grandchildren.

Elsie was born in Cutknife, Saskatchewan and also lived in Unity, Saskatchewan and Guelph, Ontario before coming West, rst to Revelstoke, B.C. and then eventually settling in Cherryville, B.C.

Elsie lived a life of volunteerism. Whether with her church, as a piano teacher, choir director, or at Cherryville Elementary or Charles Bloom Secondary, Elsie was generous with her time and talents.

Elsie will probably be most well remembered for her piano lessons to the community of Cherryville. A woman who was always loved and respected by those around her, she will be missed greatly by those who were blessed to have known her.

e family would like to give thanks to Dr. Barss and the sta at Monashee Mews for their excellent care.

A Celebration of Life will take place at the Cherryville Community Hall on Friday August 26 at 1:00pm.

Join us in the exploration of small works of art star ing a favorite the Artist Trading Card!

Started in 1997 by Swiss artist M. Vanci Stir nemann He created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. This idea of “Art for the People” has been growing in popularity ever since.

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 pri or to the 15th century.

The wonderful thing is 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 (ATC will NOT be sold).

There will an ATC trading event at the end of the show. This will be a fun way to swap trading cards with other artists! There will continue to be chances to create your own ATC throughout the run of the show so we invite anyone to come create something to trade!

Other small works of art will be on display and sale as well with a maximum size of 8"x8"

Join us for this exciting new show! At the Village Gallery 1975 Vernon st. from July 4th – 30th www.monasheeartscouncil.com

Call for Artist – Fibre – Art of Life

August 1st – Sept 3rd

Fibre is familiar and surrounds us. We spend our days inside fibre; clothing ourselves with it. We also sleep beneath and above it; spending our nights with it too. This very familiarity can cause us to overlook the importance of the fibre we surround ourselves with.

William Morris, believed that the medieval craftsman with his inherited, traditional skills and high stan dards or workmanship was able to derive real pleasure

from his work – so different from the drudgery of the machine-bound factory worker – and thereby convey the same sense of pleasure to the user/viewer.

Many of our fibre arts are not only beautiful items; crafted by talented, local hands but are also functional pieces that can bring the pleasure of the artist to everyday activities…from the naturally- coloured gloves; spun, knit and harvested from local Shetland Sheep, which make every walk a little cozier…to the woven items made by weavers creating beautiful patterns to grace our tables, warm summer shoulder and even brighten up washing up afterwards.

Morris’s well-known maxim, ‘Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.’ Can be extended to all the Fibre Arts including Quilting, Embroidery, Macrame’, Felt ing, Sewing, Rug-making, Weaving, Spinning, Basket-making, Thread-Painting and Painting with Fab ric are all art forms in which the hand of the Artist can be readily appreciated.

Bring in your work to share at the Village Gallery 1975 Vernon St Lumby.

Runaway Moon

We are getting ready to bring you “The Miraculous (After)Life of Isidro, Patron Saint of Farmers”, a miniature operetta based on a generous farm laborer who lived in Spain in the 11th and 12th centuries. Many miracles were attributed to San Isidro, both during and after his life. Some were about bringing water to dry land, and feeding the hungry.

These are somewhat relevant to us, even here, at this time. We are curious to know if it makes sense to believe in miracles in this science- driven age????

In the time of Isidro, storytellers will have performed at market places, a long- lasting institution that is unusual in that it has probably changed very little over many centuries! So, we’ve decided to go to Farmers' Markets to tell this tale, where we can honor those who grow our food. We are also using the tradition of Victorian Paper Theatre, which was made

to bring operas and theatrical spectacles into people’s homes.

Molly March and Cathy Stubington are design ing the show; performers are both local and locally known: Sarah May Redmond, Aidan Sparks, and Christie Watson who we are welcoming to the valley. The play (Between 30 and 40 minutes long) is for all ages. We are performing at the Lumby OAP Hall at 1737 Glencaird St, Lumby on Thursday, August 4th with two performances at 2pm and 4pm.

Check our website for both outdoor and indoor lo cations on runawaymoon.org website.

Lumby Chamber of CommerCe

'Gangranch Moon' by Robert Gaites

Echo Lake Lodge is located approximately 23 km from Lumby on Creighton Valley Road.  Originally built by the Denison family in the early 1940's, it was sold to Ev and Ray Hodge who ran the lodge for 15-20 years.  The Lodge burnt down while the Hodge's owned the property.  They rebuilt the lodge and sold the property to Leo Simino who ran the resort for 18 months.  Richard (1932-2007) and Marie (1937-2021)

along with their 2 children Andy and Christine from Burnaby bought the resort in 1975.  At this time, the resort had 9 cabins and 40 campsites.  The resort had no power until 1979 and the shop burned down in 1975.
