BEWARE OF MAIL THIEVES DURING TAX SEASON The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP are reminding residents to be diligent during tax season as mail theft tends to increase. During this time of year, residents will begin to receive confidential documents in the mail and as a result thieves begin to target mail boxes to steal your personal information and even your money. “With tax season upon us, we tend to see an increase in mail theft, just as we do during the holiday season,” says Cst. Kelly Brett of the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. “Over the past few months, officers have received reports of Canada Post super boxes being damaged and possible mail that has gone missing in some of the more rural areas. We want to remind everyone to collect their mail daily and if you will be away for an extended period of time, have your mail collected by a friend or family member or put your mail on hold with Canada Post.” The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP and Canada Post recommend the following to reduce the likelihood of your mail and/or your identity being stolen: •• Collect your mail frequently, at least daily; •• Have someone collect your mail, newspapers or parcels while you are away;

Lumby Community Thrift Store... The Heartbeat of Lumby with Guilt Free Shopping
Hello Fellow Thrifters! Wow…this Spring weather is wonderful! Easter is only a month away and you can pick up some really colorful Easter baskets, gift bags, Easter grass and decorations to complete your Easter celebration right here at the Thrift. Do you need a few extra serving dishes for your celebration dinner? Our houseware section is full of nice crockery and you will be amazed at the beautiful cut glass serving plates and bowls just perfect for salads and vegetables. All these items are priced so reasonably! The cutest Easter dresses for little girls and suits for little boys can be found at our Thrift. We have featured a couple of these outfits right beside our Easter display. Also, if there is a baby christening in your future, we have some precious little dresses for christenings hanging beside the display as well. Our jigsaw puzzles and board games continue to be on sale for the low price of 50 cents each. We have so many puzzles that they are in two places…. on the table in the hallway, and just inside the doorway on the left side. Help yourself! Shopping at the Thrift is like being on a treasure hunt. Unexpected bargains and purchases just happen!! You never know what special treasure you might find. One thing that always makes us laugh is when people try to leave the store and see that “one extra thing” they simply have to buy. They come back to the till and usually start laughing about how they can’t get out the door without spotting something else! That’s just great and
it all adds to the humour we enjoy here. Thank you to everyone that supports the Thrift. Some days we have over seventy-five paying customers and that means we have an even higher number of shoppers because often only one person in a couple will pay for both people shopping. It’s amazing to see our little store bursting at the seams...both with loads of stock and also with so many shoppers of all ages. Simply wonderful! It’s a fun place to drop in and take a look around. We now have a lot of shoppers coming from Vernon and the Nakusp area because they love our Thrift! March 29th is the last Friday of the month…so you know what that means!!!! We will be having our infamous $10 garbage bag sale! This includes a $5.00 pair of shoes and a coat with a value up to $10 which are included in the bag as well! Start the car…see you there! We always put out as much stock for this sale as we can possibly fit in the store! This is what makes our monthly sale so much fun! Our regular sales are Tuesdays - a shopping bag of clothing and a regular priced pair of shoes for $5.00, Wednesdays – 50% off most items for seniors and the last Friday of the month – a garbage bag of clothing and a regular priced pair of shoes for $10.00. Items with price tags attached are not included in our bag sales. Phone 778-473-3003. Store hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10 am to 3 pm. We are located in the Arbor Park Shopping Mall. Happy Thrifting!

Ah, Spring is Here! I’m so Excited I Wet My Plants
Spring Planting
Samantha Nason BS Ranch & Greenhouses Well it’s finally arrived! Spring is Here! The snow is rapidly disappearing and many of the perennials are showing signs of survival. I have a tendency to start cleaning up my flower beds too early. More damage than good can be done in this haste. Many plants like Lamb’s Ear grow on the old vegetation and should be left to get a good start without any clean up. Crocuses are In full bloom and Daffodil are well advanced along the side of the house and starting in what little snow is left around my pond. Tulips are just beginning to show as well as several other’s. Its an exciting time of the year, so much promise of beauty to come. If you are intending to plant Lily’s or other summer bloom-

When selecting your bulbs buy only plump, healthy looking bulbs. Lilies should be firm and the scales closely packed and dense root systems. Although Lilies are best planted in fall, early enough to develop a root system, Spring planting is very much an option. Be sure to read the planting guide as depth of bulb is important. Lilies should be planted 3 times as deep as the bulb is tall.

Seniors’ Corner
A weekly feature for Lumby, Cherryville, and area seniors. For more information about any of the following please contact Colleen, Linda, or Jenny at (250) 547-8866 Whitevalley Community Resource Centre Office (250) 547-8866, Saddle Mountain Drop In (778) 930-0509.

Jetta the Guide Dog There is a new face living at Saddle Mountain Senior’s Complex in Lumby and gosh, this face is pretty darn hairy and really adorable. It is Jetta a 56 lb. black Labrador and what is different about Jetta is that she is a certified Guide Dog trained and provided by the Lions Foundation of Canada. Jetta now belongs to and guides Alice Ponting, a long standing resident of our community. Alice began losing her eyesight in 1985 and since then her vision has progressively deteriorated. Her brother, residing in Vernon, suffers from the same disability. He received a guide dog to assist him in his day to day routines and he strongly encouraged Alice to apply for a dog for herself, before her eyesight became any worse. Alice took her brother’s advice and completed the application process

to request a service dog. She soon found out that she had been accepted as a successful candidate for a canine. On February 19th , Alice flew to Ontario to begin an intensive three week training course in Oakville. When Jetta, the three year old Labrador, first saw Alice she ran to her out of all of the others in the room. It was an instant match and Alice likes to proudly say, “She picked me!” Jetta is a working dog and her main focus is on her master’s safety. When a service dog is wearing a harness, only the owner should touch or communicate with the animal. Guide dogs are placed with foster parents at eight weeks old and are in rigorous training by the 14 month age mark. The Lions Clubs across Canada began developing this national project in the early 1980’s to enhance their services to Canadians with visual impairments. There is no cost for the dog or the training even though the Foundation relies solely on donations and does not receive government funding. This program has grown in leaps and bounds over the years and now includes dog guides for hearing impairment, seizure response, autism assistance and diabetic alerts. Alice is Jetta’s third owner and the dog is extremely well trained in guiding and assisting the visually impaired. Alice does allow Jetta to have alone time and some much needed play time on a daily basis so this canine does not always have to be on duty working; sometimes she can just be a dog that can be happy to have a new life here in Lumby. SADDLE MOUNTAIN SENIOR’S DROP-IN PROGRAM Whitevalley Community Resource Centre would like to remind all local seniors that the Seniors
Drop-In Program, held in the Dogwood Lounge (1751 Glencaird Street) at Saddle Mountain, is still

AWESOME! I can still feel the steering wheel in my hands, and the power beneath me, and yes when ever I get the chance I also sing back up to Mustang Sally! The Ford Mustang was first thought of by Ford employees in 1962, but the final production of this classic car did not actually happen until March 9 1964, the day it rolled off of the assembly line, some lucky people had already bought it before it was complete. At the New York World’s Fair on April 17 1964 the public finally got to view this beautiful car, the people were ecstatic about this little beauty. In September 1964 it made it’s first movie appearance in the James Bond movie Goldfinger. In 1964 The Mustang also made another appearance this was at the Indianapolis 500, the Mustang came in first and second at the Tour DE France International rally (way to go Mustang!)

BC Liberal Elites Make You Pay More The BC Liberals siphoned money from ICBC. And now they want us to pay even more by privatizing ICBC. Andrew Wilkinson put B.C.’s interests aside when he lobbied for big tobacco and when he sided with big pharma companies. Now he wants to fool us with his privatization scheme. Andrew is an out of touch elitist who doesn’t care if you pay more. British Columbians deserve reliable, affordable public auto insurance.
Say NO to privatization

5-7am Large Intestine: symptoms of imbalance include constipation, dry stools, skin rash, and feeling emotionally ‘stuck’ . 7-9am Stomach: imbalance symptoms may include acid reflux, stomach ulcer, and bad breath. 9-11am Spleen: spleen supporting foods include cinnamon, yam, dates, and lentils. Imbalance may show up as loose stools, bloating after meals, craving sweets, and low energy. Continued on page 9

New Freshwater Fishing Guide Now Available
The Province has released the new, updated guide to freshwater fishing in British Columbia. The 2019-2021 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis is available online and will soon be available in hard copy at FrontCounter BC, Service BC and stores that sell fishing licences. This synopsis is a comprehensive guide to the regulations, policies and practices that guide freshwater fishing in B.C. The Province updates the synopsis every two years and regularly posts updates online. The synopsis also includes important angling-related articles, including information on catchand-release best practices, preventing the spread of invasive aquatic species and tips on how to help keep aquatic ecosystems intact and healthy. Quick Facts: •• Freshwater fishing generates almost $1 billion annually towards the provincial economy. •• The Province collects $10 million each year from licence fees — money which goes directly to the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. The society supports angling-related research, conservation, education, stocking and improving angler access. •• Under the federal Fisheries Act, the Province is

B.C. Government Gets Ready For 2019 Wildfire Season
In the wake of two of the worst wildfire seasons on record, the British Columbia government is stepping up with more fire prevention strategies, programs and funding to help keep British Columbians and their communities safe this summer. “We’ve taken a hard look at additional steps we can take to not only prevent wildfires, but also enhance our response on the ground during wildfire season,” said Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. “Our base budget for wildfire spending has increased by 58%, and we’re accelerating prevention and prevention awareness programs.” As part of Budget 2019, wildfire management funding has increased by 58% to $101 million annually. The additional funding will help the BC Wildfire Service add to its fire response capabilities – adding more crews, enhancing aerial capacity and including innovative technology – and spending more on fire prevention activities, including a more comprehensive prescribed burning program backed by an initial $10 million. New technology, including night vision goggles to better aid in early detection and response, will also be piloted this summer.
Other important advances over the past year include building stronger working relationships with communities, First Nations, the forest industry and other stakeholders. The changes support the recommendations of the independent Abbott-Chapman report.
of B.C., of which nearly $180 million has been allocated.
Wildfire prevention funding initiatives include the following: •• The $50-million Community Resiliency Investment program was established in September 2018 to help local governments and First Nations lower wildfire risks around their communities. As part of Budget 2019, an additional $10 million has been added, for a total of $60 million. Results from the first application intake will be announced by the end of March 2019. •• The B.C. government has increased funding under the Forest Carbon Initiative by $13 million over the next three years, allowing it to take advantage of matching funding from the federal government. This money is used for reforestation and restoration initiatives that not only capture carbon, but also reduce wildfire risks. This funding is in addition to the $235 million provided to the Forest Enhancement Society
