As students in the North Okanagan head back to school, the RCMP want to remind everyone that speed restrictions in school zones are back in effect this week.

Vernon North Okanagan RCMP officers and the City of Vernon RCMP volunteers will have an increased presence in school zones throughout the area making sure drivers are aware and paying attention.

It’s an exciting time as we kick off the start of a new school year, states Constable Neil Horne, School Resource Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. The roadways around our schools are going to be incredibly busy as thousands of kids make their way back to classes this week. With all the excitement of going back to school, kids might not always be thinking about safety which is why it’s particularly important for motorist to use caution, pay close attention, and obey the speed limit when driving through these areas.

Drivers are reminded that a 30km/h is in effect in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Vernon and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Armstrong and Enderby, when school is in session. In playground areas, the 30km/h limit is from dawn until dusk, unless otherwise posted.

Police are also asking parents to talk to their kids. Teaching our children the rules of the road and to pay attention to their surroundings is essential to their safety, adds Horne. After a long summer break, children of all ages, even older ones, can benefit from a refresher on

Dear Members and Community Residents; We hope you have all enjoyed the summer – much better than last year, eh?

Now that organizations, schools, and other entities are getting back into the swing of get togethers, the Monashee 50+ Club will be doing the same thing.

As in the past, General membership meeting takes place on the second Friday of each month. These meetings are called for at 2:00 p.m., at the OAP hall on Glencaird Street (under the red roof). The month of September will be the first meeting since June 2022 and will take place on Friday, September 9th. You do not have to be 65 years of age to become a member.

This organization has just celebrated 50 years of being in Lumby. Over the years, they have contributed so many pancake breakfasts to the community, it’s been beyond counting. They have hosted many “Miss Lumby” celebrations, participated in a lot of parades, and provided numerous meals to seniors and other organizations.

The hall provides a meeting place for social get-togethers for area seniors, rentals for community organizations (meetings, markets. Weddings, birthdays anniversaries, other family celebrations); host bingo and card night as well as pool. There has also been healthy, home cooked meals prepared for those who find cooking for themselves a chore or just want something new for a change. These meals were sitdown for a lot of years and recently have been pre-

pared as take-out, which was implemented due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Herein lies a dilemma! Throughout the summer, this organization has lost 2 executive/volunteer members due to health issues and one executive member has gained employment. There have been 3-4 other people (not necessarily members) who volunteered their time with the meal preparations. The “Loving From The Oven” would like to resume the meals in September, but to date do not have any prep volunteers or any cooks.

Not just volunteers for the meals, but are in need of these well appreciated people for other functions, such as setting up chairs/tables for booked events, for running the bingo, for cleaning the hall after events, organizing hall rentals, and just being available when needed.

The General meeting in September will determine a decision as to whether to continue as a non-profit organization in Lumby or whether to start the process of dissolving the establishment. The Annual General Meeting will be held in November and at that time, if it is determined that we will continue, a number of nominations will be needed. There are 4 positions that need to be filled.

See you all on Friday, September 9, 2022 at 2:00 pm – 1765 Glencaird Street (under the red roof).

How To Pick The Right Leash Almost every pet supply store carries a large selection of dog leashes. Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice for your pet-walking needs.

Length If you walk your dog in the city or by the side of the road, opt for a short leash.

By keeping your dog close at hand, you can better manage dangerous or unexpected situations. Additionally, short leashes are especially appropriate if your dog is young and in training.

On the other hand, a longer leash is perfect for walks in the countryside or the woods, as it provides greater flexibility for your pooch to explore the grounds at will.

Type While dog leashes are meant to secure and ensure the safety of your dog, each different type comes with its own pros and cons. For example: • Lasso leashes can strangle a dog that suddenly takes off running.

• Retractable leashes should be avoided in the city.

• Metal leashes are strong but particularly heavy.

• Leather leashes are durable but require regular maintenance.

• Nylon leashes are light but could slice the palms of your hands if your dog pulls too hard.

Size It’s important to choose your leash in relation to your dog’s size. A Chihuahua and a St. Bernard, for example, have very different dimensions. Consequently, thick leather leashes and chain leashes should be strictly reserved for larger dog breeds.

Where Is The Best Place To Get Bugs?... A Flea Market!

Whitefly and Other Garden Pests This week has been uncomfortably hot for this time of year and with the shortening of daylight it makes it difficult to do the fine tuning that needs to be done at all times in the greenhouse. I have also had a two and a half year old to tend to. I am shocked and amazed to learn that you cannot duct tape them to a chair. I am overwhelmed with the amount of unfocused energy that a person of that size has. A good friend told me to get him a puppy, well, that would amount to two things with boundless energy, do not understand the word no and would piddle on my floor. She, and I thank you Donna, said it would at least allow him to have company while he does so To amuse him (and punish myself) I suggested that we take him to the Armstrong Fair.

the most annoying and destructive garden and greenhouse pests. Whitefly can be found in your outdoor garden it can be a real problem in a greenhouse if left unchecked they are also very fond of hanging baskets.

It is easily identified by its rapid flight into the air when the leaves of a plant are disturbed and although there are a variety of whitefly they are all similar in their habits and the damage that they can cause.

They become most apparent when the temperatures start to climb and fortunately our winters do not promote their overwintering although this can occur. The adult whitely likes to lay its eggs on the underside of leaves of plants like tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, egg plant, cucumber, pumpkin, sweet potato, strawberries and many flowers like petunia and I’ve found they are especially fond of gerbera daisy and roses.

They do harm to the plants by sucking the juices from the leaves causing leaves to shrivel and yellow to the extent that left unchecked they will kill the plant.

They also will stunt the plants growth and affect the yield of your plants and if that isn’t bad enough they are also vectors and can spread around 100 different types of diseases that will infect your plants.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition all over your body that will cause pain. This type of pain can be called widespread pain. Fibromyalgia can also cause problems with your sleep, constant fatigue, headaches, migraines, depression, anxiety, thinking, memory, concentration, and could also cause emotional and mental distress.

Some people even can feel a tingling in their hands and feet, pain in the jaws or face. There could be digestive problems like abdominal pain, some bloating, and constipation.

This disease affects more than 4 million adults, mostly women. Anyone at any age can get Fibromyalgia including children. People that have Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis will more than likely also have Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is not always easy to diagnose, as symptoms can be similar to other conditions, the doctor could ask you questions about how you think your symptoms could be affecting your daily life. The doctor will check your body looking for swollen joints to rule out Arthritis. There will also be other examinations done on your body and blood and urine tests,

possibly an X-ray and other scans to rule out things like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, or Multiple Sclerosis.

Once these are ruled out the doctor will then ask you questions if you have had severe pain in areas of your body in about 3 -6 different places. Perhaps you have a milder pain which would be about 7 plus different areas. The symptoms that you have had stayed around the same level for about 3 months or so. There is no other reason the doctor can find for your symptoms.

Some treatments include medications, prescription and over the counter pain relievers, yoga, tai chi, massage, aerobic exercise, muscle strengthening, education classes, better sleep habits. Getting physically active for about 150 minutes per week could help, walking, biking, swimming, all of these can also help in reducing your risk of heart disease, and diabetes.

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.

One of the Taller Flowers The Hollyhock is a stunning flower that can grow Blooming from June -August with a wide variety of anywhere from 3-8 feet, with a width of 1-2 feet wide. colors to choose from Pinks, Blacks, Blues, Purples, They like the sun, but can also grow in part shade. Reds, Whites, and Yellows. Some varieties are biennials, their life cycle is complete after 2 years, the first year is used to grow their leaves and store energy. The second year is when you will see the stalks get taller, flowers and seeds begin to grow.

Other varieties are annual and perennials. These wonderful flowers do not need a lot of maintenance, except for cutting back the stalks once the flowers are finished, but they can get different types of insects and fungal diseases like leaf rust.

DUE TO BRIDGE UPGRADES, Hollyhocks are great for Painted Lady Butterflies, THE INCHES FSR WILL BE CLOSED at 7km being a host plant for their caterpillars, and they are th also a great attraction for Bees and Hummingbirds.

when they are well established they will be pretty drought tolerant. Once the flowers and leaves have started to grow be sure to water from beneath the leaves making sure the foliage does not get wet because then you could have leaves that will have disease.

Hollyhocks are one of the very few plants that can be planted near a Black Walnut Tree even though the soil of this tree has a chemical that goes into the soil.

Place them on a trellis, long stake, wall, or fence as they grow very tall they need some kind of support so they don't topple over.

If you don't want your Hollyhock to reseed itself then remove the faded flowers and cut back the stalks at the base once the flowering is complete for the season. Cutting them down so that the stalk down to the base will help diseases overwintering like rust disease.

Snails, Slugs, Japanese Beetles, and Spider Mites can also be attracted to the Hollyhock plant.

Hollyhocks also seem to be Deer resistant.

Artbeat

Happening now - Patron show This September the Monashee Arts Council wanted to thank those who have always supported the Arts in Lumby with our new show at the Village Gallery, dedicated to patrons of the arts: those who love and collect works of art, seek out particular artist, follow them and encourage them often by comments on Facebook pages or by purchasing the art work and adding it to their collections.

Sometimes people inherit works of art that have great family significance; or they are part of a dear friend's bequest; or patrons may commission works by a favorite artist.

You do hear of art investors who have made significant profits from savvy art purchases.

Yet for every one of these, there are many others who just love to have original art on their walls.

This show will run from September 5th to October 1st

2022 GENERAL LOCAL ELECTIONS

Dilts

June 5, 1934 – August 29, 2022

It is with great sadness we share the passing of Irwin Dilts, at the age of 88. He passed away peacefully at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Irwin is survived by his wife of 70 years Jackie (Red), 5 Children: Jack, Brenda, Kalvin (Gwen), Sherry (Matt) and Dwayne (Tina); 12 Grandchildren, 22 Great Grandchildren and 2 Great Great Grandchildren.

Irwin and Red raised their children in Lumby B.C. where they were a huge part of the community.

Irwin came to Lumby mill as an electrician in 1953.

He became the maintenance superintendent in 1964 and was later promoted to plant superintendent in 1968. He retired from Fletcher Challenge in 1989. Irwin was also the Chief of the Lumby Fire Department for 16 years although we was an active member for 36 years, just one year short of it’s inception.

After retirement, Irwin spent his time with Red travelling to the Baja and spending the summers at their cabin on Okanagan Lake surrounded by his family. He spent his hours Golfing and Fishing, both activities he loved.

The family will celebrate his life privately at the cabin as he wanted.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Lumby Fire Department.

Notes From the Lumby Public Market Did you come to the market this past Saturday, September 3? Did you notice that no one was hanging onto their poles to help hold down their tents? It was a better day, the wind and the rain held off. Hooray, it makes our lives so much easier when the weather works with us instead of against us.

Do you like Garlic? Well we have Garlic vendors, and some other vegetables.

We have so many wonderful items at our market come and check us out.

Wooden items with great sayings, Popcorn, Young Living, Flowers, Jams, Jewelry, Watkins, Photography, Popcorn, Quilts, Knitting and Crochet items, Tupperware, Epicure, Victorian Lace, Resin Work, Gel Moment, Butterfly Clips, Bannock, don't forget to stop by the Monashee Art Councils tent as they always have great free classes and demos.You will also find Books, Pottery, Tarot Card readings, and so much more.

If the heat reaches 35 celsius or higher, or if there

is a lot of smoke, or other circumstances beyond our control we try to find other ways to keep the market open, this could include possible shorter hours . If we can go indoors somewhere, then we will.

Don't forget our famous Buttertart festival will be September 24, 2022.

If you would like to be a vendor at our market email us at lumbymarket@gmail.com

Minister’s, Provincial Health Officer’s Statement On Approval Of Bivalent Vaccines

VILLAGE OF LUMBY NOTICE OF ADVANCE VOTING PUBLIC NOTICE IS GIVEN AS FOLLOWS: ADVANCE VOTING DATE AND LOCATION ONE ADVANCE VOTING OPPORTUNITY will be HELD between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.,

Wednesday October 5, 2022 Lumby Museum – Meeting Room 1785 Glencaird Street ELECTOR REGISTRATION

You may register at the time of voting by completing the application form available at the voting place and making a declaration that you meet the requirements to be registered as set out below: RESIDENT ELECTORS: To register as a resident elector you must: • be 18 years of age or older on general voting day October 15, 2022; • be a Canadian citizen; • be a resident of British Columbia for at least 6 months immediately before the day of registration (at time of voting); • be a resident of the Village of Lumby on the day of registration (at time of voting); and • not be disqualified under the Local Government Act or any other enactment from voting in an election or assent voting and not otherwise disqualified by law.

“Over the past few months, we have been hard at work to prepare for the rollout of the fall COVID-19 booster. Now that Health Canada has approved the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, we are ready to deliver it to people in B.C. as soon as we get it.

“These booster vaccines cover the original and the Omicron variants, so are better adapted and more effective at protecting people against the Omicron variant, which is the most common right now in our province.

“Moderna is providing 12 million doses to Canada, and as always, we will work with the federal government to ensure a stable supply of the bivalent vaccine for British Columbians.

“Once the supply arrives, we are all set to begin distribution. We expect the vaccines to come over several weeks and most people should be able to get one in September or October. As before, the vaccines will be available in health-authority clinics and pharmacies.

More information about timing and eligibility will be presented to the public on Sept. 6.

“With the start of the respiratory illness season, it is especially important to make sure that people are up to date on their vaccines. Our COVID-19 immunization strategy has been effective in protecting people from the virus, and we must stay diligent in continuing to do so.

“We encourage everyone to get up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines to keep themselves and those around them safe.”

Learn More: • For more information about COVID-19 booster shots, visit: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/ covid-19/vaccine/booster • To register with the provincial Get Vaccinated system: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/ vaccine/register • To learn more about COVID-19 vaccines for children: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/ vaccine/children
