Cherryville’s Community Forest Society's New Website www.crmc-Cherryville.ca CRMC holds and manages the Community Forest Agreement with the province of B.C.; totalling a 1080 hectares of community controlled not-for-profit forestry.

CRMC’s land stewardship practices put forest health first, with forestry proceeds reinvested into the forest and local community.

To explore interactive maps of the two Cherryville community forest blocks and to stay up to date on future CRMC plans, visit the new website! Online, you can read about CRMC’s history, volunteers, and community initiatives.

An affiliate group of CRMC, The Cherryville Water Stewards, have found a voice through this website launch too! The Cherryville Water Stewards is a community action and monitoring group devoted to

the Upper Shuswap River and it’s watershed. They have been preforming water sampling at many sites in Cherryville since 2008.

Lab certified water testing results are available online to view. This information is especially relevant to those drawing river water for drinking, animal use, or swimming, and those concerned with environmental stewardship.

CRMC hopes their new website will help build awareness and increase dialogue with the local community. Use the Contact Us tool to get in touch with CRMC Directors. They hope to see you at the next General Meeting!

Meetings are held at the Cherryville Community Hall at 7:00pm the second Wednesday of every month.

Following an impressive turnout at the General meeting on October 14th, the members are ready to get rolling on a new year. They attended the Volunteer Fair at the Community Hall with lots of information available.

Bingo is a very popular activity at the OAP hall, but the machine being used is getting old and temperamental, so it was decided to bite the bullet and look into purchasing a new one. The enquiries to date show a cost of a new bingo machine to be between $11,000 and $20,000. This is a huge cost, but as this is our main source of revenue, the OAP hall will have to look at financing! If any businesses and/or individuals in our community would be willing to assist us in purchasing a new machine, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Lovin from the Oven is hoping to start up again in November, once we find a cook and delivery drivers. Any volunteers?

Please be advised that memberships are coming due shortly – just $20.00 for a year –memberships will be available soon.

A short reminder, the Annual General Meeting is on November 4th at 2:00 p.m. at the OAP Hall.

We hope to see many of you there!

What Do You Use To Mend Jack-O-Lantern?... A Pumpkin Patch!

Fall Clean Up and Fire Mitigation

There is always so much to do in the fall with the yard and garden. With the unusual late summer weather I find that I’m no further ahead than usual and even with the promise of rain and cooler fall temperatures that should start by Friday I will be scrambling to complete all the chores that should be done.

The more that gets done now the easier it will be in spring and that is a reward in itself as spring brings its own list of to dos that need to be tended to. I am amazed at how quickly October is disappearing. The Lumby and District Public Market finished on the Thanksgiving weekend and although I wasn’t there as often as I should have been when I was it was so good to see everyone. While we are doing our fall cleanup we should also be thinking about what we can do to keep our homes and communities safe from fires. It is so hard to imagine that at this time of year nearly the whole province is still in an extremely high level of fire risk. So many have started recently and so many of them have been human caused. Here are a few tips that can help with that risk while we prepare for winter.

Although we know that covering vents such as in attics and crawl spaces with wire mesh can help keep rodents and other pest out of the house the use of wire screens this can also help with keeping airborne em-

bers from getting into your home during a fire. It should be 1/8 of an inch and no smaller as it can prevent good air flow in your home if it is any smaller. There is even some that will swell when exposed to heat and almost seal your home from flying embers.

Be sure to clean up all waste, vegetation and debris especially evergreen needles as these are heavy in resin and will burn very hot and for a long time, with the heat this summer there was a lot of trees that dropped large amounts of their needles.

The leaves and needles on your roof and in your gutters too should be cleaned out well and checked again during the hotter months starting in June.

Trees and vegetation should be removed from around the house and all bark mulch should be removed as well, although attractive it can be an issue in a fire, you can switch to rock mulch and only have small plants that do not reach up to the siding on your home and well spaced so fire can not devour these plants and lead directly to your home. Perhaps nice pots with plants can be placed along a fire proof band that surrounds your house. Trees should although

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Friday, November 4th, 2022

safer that bushes should be no closer that 6 feet from buildings and should have no limbs that are below the 6 foot mark as well. Plants that should not be near your home include Cedar, Juniper, Yew, Tall Grasses and Spruce. Any plant with aromatic leaves or needles have a heavy resin in them will burn hot and ferociously when ignited.

Fences can be a big fuel source as well so if you are replacing an old wooden fence consider metal fencing instead. If wood is being used there are fire resistant woods available and use thicker planks as the are more resistant to fire, be sure to keep grasses down under and along your fence and the supporting posts. Chain link can be very attractive with Ivy growing on it that will provide the privacy wanted.

Once these chores are completed all tools should be washed with soap and water with a splash of bleach before they are stored away. All plants being brought In for the winter should be carefully examined for pests and a mild soap and water spray would not be out of line. Leaves will hopefully start to turn green and fall in the near future and these can be used to cover garden beds as well as flower and shrub areas to protect bulbs from possible freeze then thaw episodes. They also are wonderful for weed suppression, fertilization and lightening of heavy clay soils not to mention how wonderfully neat and clean it makes the yard look. Trees and shrubs should be deeply watered now for protection over winter and a final mowing of the lawn can be done. Do not cut the lawn too short for the best results over the winter. Spray off the lawnmower and be sure its in good shape for its winter storage.

Happy Gardening!

Oct. 17 - Oct. 23, 2022 is Workplace Bullying Awareness Week

Bullying does not just occur in the workplace, it can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone.

In the year 2012 anti- bullying laws in Canada had become illegal, this started in Quebec then became federal. When it became federal, people that had been bullied were now suing the Bullys.

In 2012 a woman in Ontario was awarded $1.4 million for compensation by being bullied by her manager, this amount was then lessened to $400.000 So far this amount has been the highest amount awarded to the person being bullied.

There are many forms of bullying: harassment, imtidation, spreading gossip, rumors, or making innuendos, humiliation, aggression,excluding and or isolating a person or people, physical or threatening abuse whether it is mental, physical, or emotional.

Cyberbullying (on the news in last few days a person had been convicted for 13 years of the charge where a young girl had killed herself due to cyberbullying from this man.) Telling, emailing, on social media, or on the phone making jokes that are offensive to the individual, pestering, stalking, and spying on a person, yelling, swearing at an individual, belittling a person, and their opinions.

In the workplace actions like removing the areas of responsibilities without a good reason, changing the work guidelines constantly, creating deadlines that are impossible, that would be sure to make the person fail. holding back necessary information, and or giving the information on purpose, giving unreasonable duties and workloads that could create pressure that is unnecessary, making the person feel useless by taking away some of their work when it is not required, constantly criticizing the person or their work, punishment that is unwarranted, blocking the individuals applications for more training, promotions, or a leave of absence, even tampering with an individual's work equipment or their personal things this can also be a form of bullying in the workplace.

Bullying can have various effects on the individual that is being bullied, they can have shock, feel anger, have feelings of frustration, feel helpless, they may have an increased feeling of being vulnerable, lose confidence in themselves, their sleep patterns may be interrupted and not be able to sleep, they could lose their appetite, lose or gain weight, they might start to get stomach pains, headaches, feel panicked, have anxiety especially when going to work, feel stressed and have tension

with their family or friends, they could lose their concentration on even the simple tasks, have low morale and less productivity, phone in sick more often.

If you are an employer and someone comes to you with these complaints, do not ignore them. Work on them as quickly as possible all the while being confidential. Get resolutions as quickly as possible If you feel that you are being bullied, do not in any circumstance retaliate in any way, as you could be looked at as the bully instead of the person being bullied.

Before you think of bullying anyone in any form whether they are at work or someone in society , remember that with the laws protecting people from being bullied you could be sued, go to jail or both.

Anti- Bullying otherwise known as "Pink Shirt Day" is February 22 Whitevalley Community Resource Centre would like to thank their sponsors: Interior Health and The United Way.

Benefits of a Workout Buddy

Last week I highlighted the benefits of resistance training. This week is convincing you to do it! The great news is it doesn’t have to take a huge chunk of time out of your daily life or your week even. You can do a lot in 20-30 minutes all at once or breaking up exercises throughout your day in little chunks 5- 10 minutes at a time. Also, you only need to preform them 2-3x per week with 3 being optimal. Of course, more is great but for general health and keeping your bones strong 2-3x per week would do it! There is another big reason to implement resistance training that we may not relate it too, is our immune system. Since the “cold/flu” season is upon us, resistance training is one of the best things to help in keeping your immune system high. As muscles contract, blood, and lymph flow increases. This in turn increases circulation of immune cells allowing them to roam the body at a higher rate at higher numbers.

Although, it is always good to get some help in the beginning, just so you know how to do the exercises correctly and that you are getting the full benefit of the training. You want to make sure you are hitting the correct muscle groups and are given modifications or adjustments for any injuries or imbalances you may have. Local fitness classes can do this to a degree, but even more with a personal trainer. Personal training

is more expensive but also can have huge benefits; wanting to hit personal goals, or if very beginner to elevate the whole process for you. Add in a nutritionist and you have the whole package. Sharing a workout session with a buddy can also bring costs down so it’s 2-1 training. Sometimes this is a great option for several reasons 1. Accountability – You are less likely to bail out on a friend or workout buddy.

2. Social – if you are a social person this may be that time where you get to workout, laugh, and go for that coffee/ tea or walk immediately after for a visit.

3. Competitive – if you are competitive there is no way you’re going to let your workout buddy have 1 up on you.

4. Motivation/Support – seeing results together and cheering each other on – when it gets tough, having that other person to relate too or lean on.

5. Affordability – this can help allow for more longterm training or more days per week. This really lets you experience the benefits of staying at it, hitting goals and changes in the body, health wise and aesthetically.

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.

The Flower That Comes Alive In The Fall Here it is, Fall has officially arrived! Did I ever tell you that out of the four seasons Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons? But out of all four of them Fall is my most favorite. So my list would look like this: Fall, Spring, Summer, and of course Winter being my

least favorite.

The beauty of all the colors in the fall are amazing, there is Green, on the ground with some still in the trees and bushes. Blue is still very prominent in the sky. Yellow, Red, Orange are all around us on the trees, bushes, sky, and the ground. It inspiring to see all the wonderful colors. Also I was born in the fall, and got married in the fall.

Most of the garden beds have been cleaned up, and are resting until spring. But in the fall I have a beautiful flower that arrives. The Fall Aster. How beautiful this little flower is, light purple on the outside with a yellow centre. It is a great pollinating flower.

The beautiful butterflies that are still around at this time of year as well as the bees, and the Gothic moths can't get enough of the nectar from this plant.

tive to North America there are about 250 varieties of th Aster.

You can plant the Asters anytime during spring or early fall giving the roots time to develop before winter and the freezing temperatures come , but don't plant them in the heat of the summer as they may not survive. Any type of soil is good, but the more it is welldrained soil the better. This summer I could see the fall asters were starting to take over my garden with their growth, I cut them back a lot, and yet they still came back healthy and strong, possibly more beautiful than last year.

I like having flowers bloom in my gardens, spring, summer and fall. The winter is usually pretty hard getting out to my backyard, so even if I could find the flowers that bloom outside in the winter, and I know you can get them but I wouldn't be able to enjoy them.

So I will just stick to the blooms I have now and enjoy them as I take walks through my gardens in the 3 seasons that I like.

Jack & Caroline Ulmer (Circa 1928)

Jack Ulmer (1905-1985) and his wife Caroline (1907-1996) arrived in Lumby in 1932. They purchased Cassimir Bonneau's ranch in Creighton Valley and in 1948 opened the Lumby General Store (now the Whitevalley Resource Centre on Shuswap Avenue). Together, the Ulmer's had two children: Ruth (Miss Lumby 1944) and Don. The ranch was sold in 1950. The Ulmer's moved away from Lumby in 1959 after selling the store to Maurice Mawdsley.

Monashee Toastmasters Club in Lumby meets on Zoom every second and fourth Tuesday from 7:00-8:30. Fear of Public Speaking becomes LESS. That's a guarantee! For most of us, having been there, we support each other and laughter is not in short supply. Won't you come as a guest and see for yourself?

Our goal is to resume meeting at the White Valley Community

Centre while continuing Zoom meetings sometime in 2022.

For more information please contact Marena at 250-550-7124 or Mike at 250-547-9335. For more information here is the link to our club: https://1348085.toastmastersclubs.org/

Arts & Culture from the Edge

Happening now - Young at Art

“Creativity is Intelligence having fun” – Albert Einstein The ability to create is a human necessity; it helps us define who we are as human beings. For children it is part of learning and exploring one’s own human curiosity. From the moment we pick up a crayon and put it to paper it becomes an exploration of the world we live in.

The Monashee Arts Council is excited to bring the works of our local youth to the Village Gallery to share their work.

For more information or the application come into the Village Gallery or check out our website www. monasheeartscouncil.com, you can also send in a request by email; monasheeartscouncil@gmail.com
