The District of Coldstream would like to take this op portunity to remind all residents, visitors, and users of local infrastructure of the current and increasing fire risk in our community. The fire risk is currently high for our area and is anticipated to intensify with higher temperatures in the coming days.

Effective Friday July 15th, the Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes Coldstream and surrounding areas, prohibited open fires and equipment and activities; including Category 2 open fires, Category 3 open fires, fireworks, sky lanterns, and burn barrels or burn cages. This would also include flares.

Within the District of Coldstream boundaries, the dis charge of fireworks or flares is expressly prohibited without a permit. Failure to comply with the Provincial or Local fire

prohibitions can result in fines of up to $10,000.

In the early morning hours of Sunday July 24th, the careless and thoughtless actions of a few could have had disastrous consequences for our community and area. If not for the quick action of the Coldstream Fire Department we could have been faced with a massive interface wildfire today.

Ignorance is no excuse when dealing with fire risk and prohibitions in our community. Everyone is expected to know the rules and abide by them in order to protect our community.

We all play a role in the prevention of wildfires. To report a wildfire or burning violation, call 1-800- 663-555 toll free of *5555 on your cell phone. Within Coldstream you can also call 911 to report suspected fire activity as well as the discharging of fireworks or flares.

‘Make The Employer’s Job Easier’

Community Futures Team, Services Grow

Community Futures North Okanagan has a new support system to help local employers combat the national labour shortage.

“Many employers are focused on just making it work right now,” says Johanna Currie, Community Futures North Okanagan’s new Business Services Advisor with WorkBC Vernon specializing in employer support. “It’s my job to help business owners identify needs and get back to work on the business instead of working head down in the business.”

Through WorkBC’s employer support services, Currie offers tools, resources and one-on-one coach ing that supports small businesses throughout the employee experience. Currie brings to the team more than 20 years of management experience across a variety of industries and a background in adult education.

“There has been a shift in the market, and we realized we needed to elevate the employer support that comes with that,” says Currie. “Gone are the days of multiple applications. Instead, employers are looking to attract the same candidates and need support creating engaging job postings and an HR toolkit built to keep employees happy and engaged.”

According to the City of Vernon’s 2020 Communi ty Profile, 52.8% of Vernon residents are employed. For local employers looking to hire, whether to fill vacancies or grow their business, Currie says selling your business’s culture and benefits is critical to finding success in today’s labour market.

“We have to get creative with the demographic pockets we don’t normally target, such as seniors sup plementing their pension income and stay-at-home parents, and ask ourselves how we can encourage flexibility. There are people out there that we need to support, and it’s a great opportunity for employers

willing to make the shift,” says Currie. “Employers need to ask how they can give the job seekers what they need. It’s not about finding the right person for the right job anymore. It’s about creating the right job to fit the right person.”

And, once employers have found the right person, Currie’s customized retention programs can help small business owners keep current employees happy and motivated.

“I’m passionate about helping people,” says Currie. “For me, it’s a win when I can help people make connections. It’s my job to make the employer’s job easier, and any time that happens, it’s a big win.”

About Community Futures North Okanagan Community Futures North Okanagan is a not-forprofit organization that supports economic development projects and helps our business community, job-seekers, and employers succeed. As a community-based organization with roots in Vernon dating back to 1984, Community Futures acts as a leader to create opportunities for growth and success across the North Okanagan.

Doctor Charged With Sex Assault; Police Reach Out To Other Witnesses

File # 2022-4337

An ongoing investigation by the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP has led to sexual assault charges against a Vernon doctor.

The initial investigation began when a female victim reported to police she had been sexually assaulted by her treating physician. Following a full and comprehensive investigation, the findings were submitted to the BC Prosecution Service who have approved two charges of sexual assault against the accused in relation to two victims.

from custody on conditions to have no contact with the victims. Mr Inkpen is next scheduled to appear in a Vernon court on July 28, 2022.

Due to the accused’s profession, investigators believe there may be other individuals with in formation about these incidents, states Constable Chris Terleski, Media Relations Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. We are releasing the accused’s name to assist us in fur thering the investigation and are encouraging anyone who may have information about these or other incidents to please contact police at (250) 545-7171.

I don’t know why this highly invasive, perennial weed is given the status of ‘Canadian’ when its true origins are from the Mediterranean area of Europe and was introduced to North America in agricultural seed shipments in the 1600’s.

It is now widespread throughout North America and it is difficult to control and it reduces pasture capacity, wildlife habitat, hinders reforestation and landscaping efforts. It displaces native vegetation and is prickly and nasty to step on if it decides to make your lawn it’s new home. It grows in patches and does best in low fertilized open areas and loves disturbed soil areas in high moisture areas and with our cooler wet spring have had a good environment to grow.

Canadian Thistle has an extensive root system that can have a spread of 20 feet and can be down as far as 10 feet. It reproduces by seed that will start to develop about mid July and each plant can produce 1500 seeds that can lay dormant and viable for 3 to 6 years. These seeds will appear 8 to 10 days after flowering and somewhat resemble dandelion flowers when they turn to seed and will spread with the wind. To help control this pest you should best prevent them from producing

seed by repeatedly clip the plant off at ground level.

As well as growing from seed they will also grow readily from the root system and any little piece of that root system will grow into another Canadian Thistle which can be problematic if you choose to dig the plant out. Also if you try to pull out the plant when first germinating in an area like your lawn it may split at the root and then will cause two to grow. It will take a concentrated effort to rid an area of Ca nadian Thistle.

Fertilization and planting plants that will choke it out and cutting it down to soil level continuously are the best methods to keep it in control in your yard however that can be difficult in a crop field.

Tilling the plant under and planting a cover crop of Alfalfa or Sweet Clover is a method that will help choke it out over several years.

Be sure to use good sanitation practises by cleaning your machinery well as the smallest piece of the root can easily be spread to unaffected areas. Systemic Herbicides can be used and organic options include Bonide Weed Beater, Natural Armour Weed and Grass Killer are both Glyphosate free.

Materials

It is illegal to transport, propagate or sell Canadian Thistle.

Well it is summer and the heat is upon us. I’m not looking forward to the heat we will be experiencing over the next little while although we will not be ex periencing the extreme heat that we had last year or that parts of Europe and the States are suffering. Stay cool and hydrated!

Aluminum edging is sleek, durable and flexible. Moreover, it can withstand the changing of the seasons without warping. 2. Concrete edging is available in a variety of styles and sizes. You can also choose from several shades to perfectly match your landscape. Al though durable, concrete borders are semi-permanent, making it difficult to change the shape of your flowerbeds on a whim. 3. Plastic edging is affordable and can be made into virtually any shape. How ever, it’s not as durable as other edging options and may need to be readjusted from one season to another.

Eating - Sitting Vs Standing

There is often the argument that sitting is better for you than standing and well, forget about lying down. Although, if you look back in history you will see in ancient Rome and Greece, lying down while eating was quite fashionable.

The truth is, your eating position can influence your ability to digest food. Food empties from the stomach more slowly when a person is sitting or lying down, compared to when they are standing. Although lying down is discouraged all together on the most part, as choking can be a big factor.

If looking to digest quickly and burn a few more calories then standing is your answer. Although, if looking to lose weight the calorie deficit is only about 50 calories which doesn’t make a significant difference. Where standing is really beneficial, is if acid reflux is a problem. That’s because when we sit, we are not sitting super upright and our posture is slouched or reclined and this increases pressure in the stomach, making it more likely that food will be pushed back up into the esophagus. Also, while eating standing and moving around helps food exit the stomach more quickly, furthermore lowering the risk of acid reflux or heartburn.

This may sound like eating while standing is more beneficial, but its not so cut and dry. When you are sitting, studies show that food is eaten with more intention and mindfulness, which both slow down eating speed. This can reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, both of which may result in almost 88 fewer calories eaten per meal. Sitting down may also help your brain register that you’ve consumed a “real meal,” also reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Your body has several different ways to determine whether you’re hungry or full. One of them is sensing how much food is present in your stomach. The degree to which your stomach stretches after a meal

can let your brain know whether you have eaten enough. The more your stomach stretches and the longer it remains full, the less hungry you’re likely to feel. Research has linked quicker stomach emptying to increased feelings of hunger after a meal.

Thus, those who stand up and move about while eating may feel hungrier after a meal than those who simply sit. This is good to note for types of food too, no matter what position you are eating in, there are foods that digest quickly. These are in the form of processed or simple carbohydrate “empty calorie,” foods. They tend to leave you feeling hungrier and often make you overeat, than those that take longer to digest like those of high fiber or protein.

Another important note about your eating position is if you experience gas and or bloating from undigest ed carbs, in particular for those who are lactose intolerant or sensitive to FODMAPs – foods that cause gas. If you find that you experience gas or bloating then it is better to eat while sitting, so as not to digest food as fast.

Taking all the above into consideration, you should be able to determine what’s best for you. However, if you find that you are a busy person and tend to eat standing, then food preparation and timing is important. This will help ensure you do not overeat.

Finally, in this fast-paced world, it is healthy to slow down. Having a sit-down meal with intent and without technology at some point during the day with a friend or family, helps not only to slow us down, but also grounds us, and lets us connect within our circle.

Thank you to a local Lumby resident for the question on this topic. If you have something you are won dering about, please let me know and you may see it

featured in an upcoming corner.

Interior Health Encourages You To E-Scooter Safely This Summer

Summer is here and, for many of us in the B.C. Interior, it’s a time to enjoy actively moving around in our communities. Many people are enjoying alternative low carbon ways of getting around. E-scooters are a convenient, fun alternative to driving a car.

Two Interior communities – Kelowna and Vernon – are currently participating in a three-year provin cial pilot project, allowing residents and visitors to use electric kick scooters (e-scooters) under similar rules as bikes and e-bikes. In addition, many individuals across the region have access to their own e-scooter.

As this newer form of transportation is sharing the road with other modes, Interior Health is commit ted to working with all partners to ensure injury prevention remains a top priority. Evidence from 2021

suggests an increase in the number of scooter-related injuries as compared to the previous five years. The most affected age groups were young individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, and the most common types of injuries were fracture of the upper extremities and open wounds to the head and neck. More than 90 per cent of individuals injured did not wear a helmet at the time of injury.

“Road safety is everyone’s business,” said Dr. Silvina Mema, medical health officer, Interior Health. “It’s important that everyone plays their part to prevent transportation-related injuries and associated impacts experienced in our communities. There are significant health-care costs as well and personal impacts for people who experience serious injuries.”

Interior Health is reminding anyone who uses a privately owned or shared e-scooter to keep safety top of mind and follow the e-scooter pro vider specifications. Here are a number of steps you can take to ride safely and reduce the risk of injury to yourself or others:

• Wear a helmet

Accelerate Okanagan’s (AO) mission is to give entrepreneurs the mentorship, connections, and community they need to build technology-driven ventures. We were founded in 2010. We are most known for entrepreneurs and technology. Our mission is to give entrepreneurs the mentorship,

connection, and community they need to build technology-driven ventures.

Something we would like people to know about us is, that Accelerate Okanagan is for more than just tech companies. We elevate leadership teams, main-street businesses, students, and job seekers located in the Okanagan Valley through our membership, programs, and events.

• Don’t carry passengers (e.g., doubling)

• Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol

• If you are a less experienced rider, start slow

and in areas of low traffic

• Ride at a safe speed and in designated areas such as protected lanes and quiet streets

• Remember you must be 16 or older to ride an e-scooter in B.C. (Kelowna-based operators currently require you to be 18 or older)

• Know the rules - familiarize yourself with where you can and cannot ride

• Ensure your e-scooter is equipped with a braking system and added safety features, including a bell, lights and reflectors

These tips also apply to other types of active travel, such as cycling, skateboarding, non-electric scooters and roller skating/blading.

Interior Health supports alternative modes of trans portation and will continue to partner with communities to monitor health-related impacts.

Information on the shared e-scooter pro grams operating within Interior Health, includ ing their safe use and designated areas for riding, are available on the City of Kelowna, City of Vernon and the Ministry of Transporta tion and Infrastructure's websites.

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 standards 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’, Felting, Sewing, Rug-making, Weaving, Spinning, Basket-making, Thread-Painting and Painting with Fabric are all art forms in which the hand of the Artist can be readily ap preciated.

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

Application Deadline July 30, 2022

Runaway Moon

We are getting ready to bring you “The Miraculous (After)Life of Isidro, Patron Saint of

Arts & Culture from the Edge

Farmers”, a miniature operetta based on a gen erous 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 in stitution 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 designing the show; performers are both local and locally known: Sarah May Redmond, Aidan Sparks, and Christie Watson who we are wel coming 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 locations on runawaymoon.org website.

Mask Making with Cara Nunn MAC will be hosting a dra ma workshop at the Saturday Market on August 20th with presenter Cara Nunn with a focus on Mask and Body Lan guage on the stage. Create your own mask and learn how body language is used to convey a story.

This is a pre-registered workshop with a minimal cost of $5/participant as space is limited. The workshop will run from 9am-1pm at the Saturday Market at Oval Park.

Extension of Implementation Date

The Society has been granted a one-year extension to September 2, 2023 in order to allow time for the Society to complete fundraising for the transmitter and

Further details are published in CRTC Decision # L2022-30. Both the Society’s application and the CRTC Decision are published on the VCRS website, www.vernoncom munityradio.ca

The VCRS application for an extension cited a combination of obstacles created by the pandemic and wildfire environmental events in 2020 and 2021 as factors.

VCRS President Gord Leighton said, “We are grateful for the extension in the implementation deadline. Our Board is confident that we will be on-the-air well before the new deadline of Sept 2, 2023. In the meantime, the VCRS will be launching a streaming service before the end of summer.”
