Just for Fun British Columbians Urged To Camping Humour A Funny Camping Story • A young boy goes camping in the woods for the first time with his dad. After they set up camp he asks his dad where he can go to the toilet. “That’s the beauty of camping in the woods,” the father replies, “You can go to the toilet wherever you want.” After five minutes or so, the young lad wanders back to the campfire. “So, where did you go to the toilet then, son?” The father asks. “In your tent,” the boy replies. The king of camping one liners: • An adventurer was paddling on a river in winter. Feeling cold, he lit a fire in his boat, only to discover that you can’t have your kayak and heat it too… Camping humor summed up: • I went to buy a camouflage tent the other day. I couldn’t find any. One of the best camping puns I came across! • You can’t run through a campsite. You can only ran…Why? Because it’s past tents. Definitely a dad camp joke: • What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear.

Reduce Fire Risks At Home
People following the provincial health officer’s advice to stay home to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 are encouraged to take action now to prevent house fires and save lives. The Office of the Fire Commissioner has seen an increase in reported fire-related fatalities since January 1. Between January 1 and April 30, 2020 there were 15 fire-related fatalities in British Columbia. Over the same period last year, there were five fire-related fatalities. “My thoughts go out to the families and communities impacted by these tragic deaths,” said Jennifer Rice, Parliamentary Secretary for Emergency Preparedness. “We all have a role to play in keeping each other safe. This week is Emergency Prepardness Week, and as people remain close to home during COVID-19, it’s an opportunity to test our smoke alarms and practise our home fire escape plans. It could save a life.” “It’s up to each of us to make sure these types of tragedies do not happen,” said Brian Godlonton, Fire Commissioner. “In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to get out safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. There are simple things that we can do to prevent a fire from happening and be prepared to react if a fire starts.” Here are some tips to help keep yourself, your family and your loved ones safe at home: Reduce fire risks • Unattended cooking is a leading cause of home fires. Always stay in the kitchen when cooking. • Always extinguish candles before leaving the room. • Encourage smokers to smoke outside the home and outside the garage. Thoroughly extinguish all smoking materials in water or sand. • Avoid overloading electrical outlets. Make sure smoke alarms work • Test smoke alarms monthly by pressing the test button. Replace batteries according to manufacturer's instructions. • Only working smoke alarms can give you the early

Oh Mighty May
If April Showers bring May Flowers What Do May Flowers Bring?... Pilgrims! Samantha Nason BS Ranch & Greenhouses Mid May weather has not been anything typical for anywhere in our country. Snow in the East and I’m talking from Alberta to the Maritimes, while we experience record daytime highs in many regions of BC. Our nights have warmed considerably now too and the difference in the growth of my plants in the greenhouse is showing. Thank you for all who came out to the greenhouse over the Mothers Day Weekend! Notice how I’ve now taken it from just one day to an entire weekend. We should make it a long weekend! I’ve begun to see the onset of bug infestations. I had a spittle bug in the greenhouse and my right hand lady had never seen them before. She was not impressed and actually gagged when I dove in dragging the little
green monster from his frothy enclosure. I also have noticed a couple of wasps that I must follow to where they are probably building a nest. Then send in my husband to deal with them. Many people are anxious to get started on their garden and for the most part temperatures over the next two weeks are warm and even the evenings are 6 to 8 degrees. I would think that we could start with cool weather plants like lettuce, peas, radish and most of the bedding vegetables and flowers that are available. Beans need a consistent 60 degree temperature in order for a good consistent sprout if not that warm they may just rot in the ground. Moles, Voles have certainly been active in the yard this spring and I am seeing more holes in than normal. They can be a difficult to get rid of and can do considerable damage to you plants and seedlings. One suggestion made is to cut off the tunnel that leads in a direction to your garden this is done by putting a metal barrier about I foot deep across the tunnel. There is also traps that you can set up as well, be sure to wear clean gloves while doing so as I understand that they have sensitive noses and will avoid the trap if they can detect human scent. I have also found this recipe for a deterrent that I am going to try. Whip together in a blender till it looks like shaving cream • 1/4 cup castor oil • 2 tablespoons liquid detergent • 6 tablespoons water Use 2 tablespoons of this mixture in a watering can and sprinkle it over the areas of infestation just after a rain or thorough watering. I’ll let you know how I make out but would love to hear from anyone with other ideas short of dynamite. Happy Gardening, Stay Safe!

Small Acts Have Huge Impacts For the last while the headlines have been full of COVID stories and most of them are pretty disheartening. So I was extremely pleased when I read about single people making huge impacts. It also made me realize we have heroes right here in our own communities. Laura Schnell is a registered psychiatric nurse who does follow-ups with patients. Laura is also a wife and mother of three, whose biggest source of stress right now is that she could bring the virus home with her. Every day when she leaves work, she sanitizes her car when she can find wipes, showers as soon as she walks in the door and also does her laundry every day in an attempt to keep the virus out of her busy home. Two of her children are toddlers and her husband has underlying health problems that put him at higher risk. Once avid campers, the idea popped into her mind

MIKKIE’S CORNER
Health & Nutrition
Vitamin - B12 Cobalamin
In the last Mikkie's Corner, I mentioned Vitamin B12 and how extremely important this vitamin is (referred to as just B12, in this article). B12 is a nutrient needed by the body’s nerve and blood cells. It helps make DNA which is in all cells. Absorbable B12 is limited to animals’ foods and not plants, as plants neither make nor require this nutrient as it is only produced by certain bacteria and archaea. Plants only contain analogues meaning they are molecules that resemble B12 in structure, but appear biologically inactive. B12 production and absorption B12 is produced below the ileum in the intestines too low for it to be absorbed back into the body so it needs to be consumed. There are 2 steps required for the body to absorb B12 from food 1) hydrochloric
acid in stomach separates B12 from protein to which it is attached in food. 2) Combines with intrinsic factor a protein made in stomach then moves it through the small intestine to be absorbed by the bloodstream. Without intrinsic factor, B12 can't be absorbed and leaves your body as waste. People with endocrine-related autoimmune disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, may have an increased risk of developing pernicious anemia from lack of B12. Anemia and a B12 deficiency can also occur if your small intestine can't absorb B12 for other reasons, other than a lack of intrinsic factor. This could be from a number of

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.
Movement On The Water When I was a little girl, one of our special family days would be to get on the Ferry Boat in Toronto Ontario and this boat would take us over to Center Island. This was such a fun day for us, and how I loved the Ferry Boat rides. Sometimes my cousin would come up to our place, his home was about 150 miles away from our home. His favorite thing when he got to our place, was to take me to Center Island. Hooray! I got to on the Ferry Boat again. Center Island was fun too. It had a lot of fun rides,and lots of food vendors with picnic tables, it was a great day every time we went. I think Center Island was my favorite thing in Toronto. The first time the Toronto Island Ferry took it's first voyage was in 1833. When I first moved to BC I moved to Vancouver Island. This was kind of a culture shock to me as I had Left Toronto and went to a tiny remote area on Vancouver Island. To get there I had to take a Seaplane ( that will be for a another story.) Once there I found out the only way to leave or return to the Island was either to take a Sea plane or the Ferries. My choice had always been the Ferry. I love standing outside on the deck feeling the wind upon my face, and seeing all the wonderful sights that you can only see from the outside deck, not sitting inside reading a magazine.
The first BC Ferry ventured out in 1960. Ferry Boats have been around for a very very long time. Some Ferry Boats will only carry passengers while some of them might carry both vehicles and passengers, while others might just carry cargo only. In Greek mythology, it was said that the Ferryman by the name of Charon would take the Souls Of The Dead across the the River. His payment would be the coins that had been put in the mouth of the deceased. The Vikings would build their vessels to go back and forth across the oceans. On some Ferries horses would be used to walk a treadmill which was attached to a paddle wheel. (when I lived in Kelowna I would go on the Paddle Wheel Boat, it was always busy as it was a great party boat, but it was not driven by horses, it was motorized by the time I was old enough to go on it hahaha) In 1822 the Ferry Boat was called a Horse Packet, in 1830 it was known as the Steam Barge, in 1867 the name changed again to the Steam Packet. The picture above is the Needles Ferry, (taken in June 2019) The Needles Ferry has been in operation since 1913, it's a nice little ride standing outside but it does get a pretty windy sometimes. Although unfortunately right now during the Covid 19 all Ferries in BC
including the Needles Ferry requests that all passengers stay inside their vehicles, and all people walking on have to stay in a designated area, so no longer can we stand outside and feel the wind upon our faces, or see the wonderful sights that are in, on, or near the water.

MADE IN HOUSE AND SMOKED THE OLD FASHION WAY
The RDNO has multiple dams which function to hold water in reservoir lakes before the water makes its way to the treatment facilities and then to your tap. Reservoirs are vital to the health of our community by storing water for use in drier summer months, but they only hold a limited volume. In the spring, when the snow melts, the reservoirs commonly reach their maximum water levels and then overflow into the spillways. These spillways are designed to handle the spring runoff and protect the dams while keeping the lake at manageable levels. The Greater Vernon Water Grizzly Dam has reached its maximum capacity and is spilling into Haddo Dam. Haddo dam is expected to reach its maximum capacity today and start spilling into Duteau Creek. Aberdeen Dam is not yet full but is expected to fill in the next few weeks. The Aberdeen Dam flows to the Haddo dam and then into Duteau Creek. “Dams are designed to spill into the natural waterways once the reservoirs are full to protect against the dam overtopping. This is the normal function of dams and reservoirs, and our staff closely monitor this process,” said Zee Marcolin, General Manager
Grizzly Dam Spill of Utilities, RDNO. “A dam spilling is very different from a dam breaching. We know there have been some reports that the dam breached, but that is not true. A dam breach would be an emergency situation while the dam spilling is a routine function that occurs every spring when the snow melts,” said Marcolin. The spillways channel the water to creeks and streams, which causes the water to rise and move quickly at a higher volume. Persons living or working near creeks and streams should be aware that water levels may rise quickly during this time and should exercise caution around the fast-moving water.

Measured Approach To Phasing In A Return To Learning In Classrooms
The Ministry of Education is working with all 60 school districts, independent school authorities, First Nations schools, teachers, school leaders, support staff, public health officials and all its education partners to begin a co-ordinated and measured phased-in approach to resuming in- class learning, guided by strict health and safety guidelines. This measured approach will involve five stages leading to an eventual safe and full return of students learning in classrooms and provides flexibility to continue home learning even while in-class instruction is available. While face-to-face instruction is suspended for the majority of students, schools in the province remain open for some, including children of essential service workers and those who are vulnerable and need more supports. All 60 school districts and independent schools are currently in Stage 4 (chart below), where children of essential service workers and vulnerable students are currently being supported in the classroom, while online and remote learning opportunities are being delivered to most students at home. There are currently 4,700 children of essential service workers and about 300 vulnerable students and students with disabilities/diverse abilities being supported in public and independent school classrooms throughout B.C. Districts are making sure families learning remotely who do not have access to technology are getting the help they need by loaning out equipment – to date, more than 27,000 computers and devices are being loaned. School communities throughout the province also worked quickly to provide almost 75,000 meals and food supports on a weekly basis

Remote and online learning continues for most students. Stage 3 In-class learning for students in kindergarten to Grade 5 on a part-time basis. Access to in-class learning as needed for grades 6 to 12 on a part-time basis. Remote and online learning continues to be available for students. to over 16,000 families. Schools are operating under the guidelines established by the provincial health officer and BC Centre for Disease Control to ensure the safety of students and education professionals. These guidelines include controlling access to buildings, maintaining physical distancing amongst staff and implementing distancing strategies for students who are in schools, and maintaining good hygiene practices. The ministry will continue to work closely with all education partners. More information on the phasedin approach to resuming in-class instruction will be available in the weeks to come.

Covid-19 Kills Tattoo The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in another cultural casualty. The Organizing Committee of the Okanagan Military Tattoo Society has announced that the 7th annual production of the highly popular event has been cancelled. Tattoo president and producer Norm Crerar announced the cancellation in the following statement issued earlier this week: “Sadly, we must announce the cancellation of the 2020 edition of the Okanagan Military Tattoo. The Tattoo has been honouring the Canadian Military, First Responders and showcasing local talent since 2013 never missing a beat, but sometimes the show cannot go on. Public safety and the safety of our cast, volunteers, production team and crew are our first priorities. Although it may
seem premature to cancel at this time, a show as large and complex as ours requires plenty of lead time for planning and execution. Given the current unprecedented global situation and uncertainties that surround us, it is in the best interests of the Tattoo and our community to cancel the 2020 production. We very much looked forward to once again bringing our audience an awe-inspiring show. This year would have been our 7th annual production. Meanwhile, we will be working diligently from home with our trusted and valued partners including the Canadian Armed Forces, the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia and the City of Vernon to ensure a triumphant return in 2021.” Continued on page 12

A LUMBY VILLAGE MYSTERY
The Case Of The Misplaced Murderer
Check Out our Latest Deals Online at www.tutor-tech.ca
Part V: Murder Most Foul
By Donna Easto onstable Brown left for Vernon Saturday evening, promising to return to Lumby early Monday morning. On Sunday afternoon, Angus, Maddie and John set out on a brisk walk to put the unpleasantness of the previous day behind them. Several villagers eager to talk about the crime soon appeared. Theories were aplenty. Some thought it resulted from an argument over a woman, others a gambling debt, still others blamed longstanding “bad blood” between the two men. After listening without comment, the three friends escaped back to the security of Miss Arnold’s house for dinner and an evening of Bridge. Constable Reggie arrived Monday morning with his superior Sergeant Rufus Zander. It was Zander’s first murder and a double one at that! He politely invited
C
John Wilson Murray to consult on the case and was greatly relieved when Murray agreed. “Here’s what I learned. Seems Sidney LaForest was in Vernon Wednesday last - staking a claim on Cherry Creek. Maybe nothing, but men have been killed for gold before. Let’s start by searching Mr. LaForest’s hotel room. Angus, Miss Arnold, you’re welcome to join us.” Three lawmen in Lumby - this would get tongues wagging. Maddie was grateful for the early hour. Fewer people about on main street except the usual covey of local lads. The room disappointed, just the usual gear of a bachelor and some gold panning equipment. As they left, the door to a nearby room opened, and a grizzled older man motioned them inside. “And you are?” Sergeant Zander demanded.

“Tom, Thomas Coughlin. You’re looking into that matter with Sly. If I have information, is there money in it for me?” “If it leads to an arrest, there may be a reward. Can’t say for sure. Let’s hear it.” “Wednesday, Sly was boasting around that he’d struck gold at Cherry Creek. Thursday evening, I hear voices coming from his room. Got pretty loud - angry. The visitor slammed the door hard on the way out.” Zander clapped Tom on the shoulder, “This may or may not be of use. Can you identify the voice?” “Can’t rightly say, coulda been a woman. Kinda high pitched, screechy. Another thing, word is Sly lost big in a Poker game that night.” Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Coughlin. We’ll be in touch. Good day.” Zander, Angus, John, Reggie and Maddie headed to the hotel cafe for a quiet conference. Sergeant Zander began, “Let’s review what we have so far. Doc saw the bodies Sunday morning. He figures death at about 36
C LASSIFIEDS
hours earlier based on rigour Mortis. Saturday morning, some men went to the Duggan homestead and discovered the bodies. Constable Brown arrived at the house and noticed irregularities, asked Detective Murray to go back out there with him later that evening; Murray agreed the deaths were suspicious. An informant tells us LaForest lost money gambling Thursday night and earlier had an angry visitor in his room. That about covers it. Constable Brown, let’s start interviewing hotel regulars to learn if anyone saw the mystery visitor, or if Albert Duggan was at the Poker game. Detective Murray, Angus, have you anything to add?” “If it’s alright with you, Sergeant, I’d like to ride out and take a second look at the crime scene.” Zander agreed, a thorough search was needed before souvenir hunters arrived. “As for me,” Angus volunteered,” I’ll try to figure out where that scrap of paper found in the stove came from. High-quality paper isn’t often found around here”. “I’ll be off to practice hymns for the funeral,” Maddie said sharply. Next: More Questions Than Answers

Military Tattoo, from page 7 Crerar went on to say that the dates for the 2021 edition are July 24 and 25 asked the public to follow the Tattoo on Facebook and Instagram for cast announcements, updates and ticket sales information. All tickets purchased for the 2020 show will be refunded or purchasers can use the refund to purchase tickets for the 2021 production. The Okanagan Military Tattoo is also a registered charity. For those who are able, Crerar asks that ticket holders consider donating the value of their ticket(s) back to the Tattoo for a charitable donation receipt. The donation will ensure the Okanagan Military Tattoo can continue with its mission for years to come. Complimentary or promotional ticket vouchers for
the 2020 production will be honored in 2021. The Okanagan Military Tattoo is Vernon’s largest annual indoor event drawing an audience in excess of 4,500 each year. The Tattoo features over 500 performers and requires the assistance of 130 volunteers. Over the years, the Tattoo has taken on a decidedly international flavour with performances by the Korean Military Traditional Band, the Washington State Army National Guard Band and the Brentwood Imperial Youth Band from the UK. In his closing remarks, Crerar thanked the public, the partners, volunteers, cast and crew for their support and understanding. He also urged everyone to take the advice of the local authorities to stay safe and look after one another.
