Resources for cancer patients and their loved ones
Each year, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recognizes April as Daffodil Month. This annual campaign raises funds to support cancer research and treatments for the hundreds of thousands of Canadians living with the disease. When facing cancer, it’s all too easy to feel hopeless and alone. That’s why the CCS has created two free, confidential hotlines to let you connect with people who have the information and experience to support you through difficult times. S U N D AY
Information service The CCS Cancer Information Service is a nationwide, toll-free service available to cancer patients, caregivers, health-care professionals and the general public. Experts provide information about cancer treatments and their side effects, clinical trials, emotional support services, prevention methods and complementary therapies. The service is available Monday through Friday, in English and French at 1-888-9393333. For service in other languages, interpreters can be accessed. Peer match program If you’d like to talk to a cancer survivor or someone who’s cared for a cancer patient in the past, the peer

match program is a confidential, phone-based service that lets you speak one-on-one with a trained volunteer who’s gone through a similar experience. These volunteers are available to listen, offer support and share ideas for coping. To register, go to match.cancer.ca. Visit the CCS website (cancer. ca) to learn more about resources for cancer patients and what you can do to help during Daffodil Month.

Lumby Community Thrift Store... The Heartbeat of Lumby with Guilt Free Shopping
Hello Fellow Thrifters! Spring is here! Yeah! Are you heading out for your first game of golf this year? Then come on down and take a look at some of the golf shoes we have on sale for the super price of only ten dollars a pair. They are near the back door and you’ll also find some golf clubs there as well. Golfing bags are in the “Man Cave”. We have a selection of bike helmets just in time to start your cycling program. They are by donation only. Hoodies are a popular choice of outerwear now that the days are warmer. We have a hanging rack and three huge tubs of hoodies underneath the rack in all sizes and colors to choose from. The hoodies range from being a light-weight cover up to a fleecelined garment. Last Fall a young woman purchased a Cowichan sweater and had us replace a zipper in it for her. Please come and claim it. We have been holding it for you for quite some time now. Well I have something to “rant” about! Some inconsiderate person dumped their household garbage behind our two dumpsters. And just to add to the mess, the cats that prowl around at night have ripped the bags apart and there is now garbage and litter strewn all over the place. The volunteers that give hours of there time, day in and day out, week after week, month after month, should not be using their volunteer hours to pick up your garbage!!! Do the right thing and come and collect it!!!! In addition,
we end up using our funds to pay to have your garbage hauled away rather than using it to help those in need. If you think you need a few extra toys for your child or your grandchild then we have the toys for you. We have so many that we could open our own toy store if we put our mind to it! Take a look at the beautiful things we have that are very reasonably priced and in great condition. Thank you to the Moms that ask their children to “tidy up” the toy area once they are done playing there. One beautiful young lady, “Tai”, picked up all the toys and put them back on the shelves last week all by herself!! Thank you, Tai,!!! Have you noticed how clean our floors look lately??? We want to especially thank two men, Storm and Dakota, for coming in and sweeping and then washing the floors for us. They worked right alongside our volunteers and did an amazing job in record time!! We sure appreciate the extra help they kindly donated to the Thrift. 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!

Plant Division
Samantha Nason, BS Ranch & Greenhouses Last week I covered new planting of your perennial plants. For those who already have an abundance of perennial plants well established may use this time to divide some of these plants. This will definitely rejuvenate the plant. There is a general rule of thumb regarding most plant division and that is that the perennials that bloom in spring till mid June you should divide in the fall. Perennials that bloom after mid June are best divided in spring, this will allow it enough time to settle in and bloom in its appropriate time. Although of course there are always exceptions. The Day Lily can be done either fall or spring and Peonies should only be done in the fall. The classic sign of the need to divide a plant is a dead centre, decreased flowering, weed infiltration and just poor condition or parts of the plant like the Iris actually being pushed out of the ground. In such conditions you may chose to transplant out of its approved season as they will not be enjoyable anyway. It will survive and be truly stunning the following year. Be sure to enrich the receiving area of planting with some compost and bone meal. Work this in well to loosed the soil to encourage good root development. Plants with fleshy crowns like Hostas, Astilbe and Yucca should be lifted when the first signs of new growth appear. Lift the entire plant and shake off as much of the soil as possible then wash the remaining dirt off in a bucket or with a hose. Use a sharp knife to cut the crown into desired size pieces sprinkle a little cinnamon on the roots to prevent fungal growth and plant immediately into your prepared bed or pots. Rudbeckia, Scabiosa and Bee Balm after they have flowered. Cut the plant back to 6 to 8 inches above soil level then lift the plant and either break or cut into the desired size chunks and transplant immediately. Plants that have offsets like Agave, Yucca, Potentilla and Strawberries should be snipped from the plant and planted so that they do not overcrowd and it should be done sooner than later so less damage is done to the young plant. Irises should be divided about 6 to 8 weeks after
blooming unless they are actually pushing themselves out of the ground. Lift the whole mass when possible or in clumps when not. Then divide into pieces 3 to 4 inches long with a minimum of one fan leaf per division. Cut the leaves back to about 6 to 8 inches to minimize the plants loss of moisture as well as having it put all energy back into root development. Calla Lily should only be done when the plant is in decline about every 3 to 5 years. Use a spade to cut through the plant once you can see some new growth. This can be done spring or fall. The same with the Day Lily. Most other Lillies do not like to be lifted but the tiny bulbils that grow at the base of the plant can be collected and replanted in the Fall. Some interesting news the other day Bayer who bought out Monsanto has been ordered to pay the estate of the poor man who died of cancer last year after repeated exposure to Round Up, Attention all Members: We need to 80 million dollars this have a Quorum, this month, the Legion was decreed by the Suis need of a Defibrillator, the only way preme Court in the U.

“Good Citizen of the Year” The Lions Club is looking for public nominations for 2019
was first implemented in Canada, in 1943, to show gratitude for women donating their time on the home front during World War II. It is currently estimated that the number of volunteers in our country is growing faster than Canada’s population. Approximately 47% of Canadians, 15 years and older, are doing some type of volunteer service. Not only does volunteering greatly enhance community organizations but studies have shown that volunteering can also benefit the volunteer both psychologically and physically. Our wonderful, local volunteers come from differ-
social inclusion. Whitevalley Community Resource Centre would like to say a huge, “THANK YOU” to each and every volunteer that supports businesses, charities, non-profit agencies and fellow residents by contributing their time and energy. The role a volunteer plays is essential to many and continually assists in creating a successful community spirit.

Time To Talk Ticks
Spring has arrived and people across the Interior Health region are spending more time outdoors. This can mean an increase in tick bites. Ticks are small bugs, about the size of a sesame seed, which feed on the blood of humans and animals and, sometimes, transmit diseases. Ticks are prevalent throughout the Interior and are typically found in tall grass and wooded areas. They are easiest to spot on a person or pet when they are actually sucking blood. Ticks burrow part way into the skin, bite, draw blood, and then drop off. The feeding tick’s mouth will be under the skin, but the back parts will be sticking out. When they are full of blood they are usually blue-grey in colour. This is called an engorged tick. Tick species and symptoms General symptoms of tick-borne infections include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash. The species of ticks most commonly found through Interior Health are Wood Ticks (Dermacentor andersoni). These ticks do not carry the Lyme disease bac-

teria; however, they can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ixodes ticks (Ixodes pacificus or Ixodes angustus) are the species that transmit Lyme disease. They are more common throughout coastal B.C. but may be present in some Interior Health areas. While less than one per cent of Ixodes in B.C. carry Lyme disease, it is important to recognize the symptoms. In addition to fever, headache, and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s eye” target which expands from the site of the tick bite. Certain ticks may release toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if left attached for several days. Once the tick is removed, symptoms fade. What to do It is important to remove ticks found on people and pets. To do so, wear gloves and use needle nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Pull the tick straight out without squeezing it. After it is removed, clean the area with soap and water. If the tick is alive (live ticks can be tested for Lyme disease), you can save it in a sealed container with a cotton ball soaked in water. Record the date of the bite on the container. If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic. Although most tick bites are harmless, it is important to watch for signs of illness and see a doctor as soon as possible if you notice a bull’s eye rash or other

symptoms. If you saved the tick, bring it with you to your medical appointment. Fortunately, a number of precautions can be taken to prevent tick bites and tick-related illnesses. For example, you should: • Walk on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas. • Cover up by wearing a hat, long sleeves, and pants. • Wear light-coloured clothing to help spot ticks easily. • Tuck pant legs into socks or boots. • Apply insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin. • Check clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live. Ask someone to help check hard-to-reach areas. • Have a shower after returning from areas where ticks may live. • Regularly check household pets for ticks. To help keep ticks away from your home and yard, you can: • Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds. • Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas. • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. • Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house. • Widen and maintain trails on your property.

Winter Tire Extension Reminder On Many B.C. Highways
Drivers are reminded that winter tire regulations have been extended to April 30, 2019, on many highways to account for early spring snowfall. Winter tire regulations are currently in effect for most B.C. highways, and people should ensure their vehicle is equipped with tires with the mountain/ snowflake or mud and snow (M + S) symbol when travelling on designated routes. The tires must be in good condition and have a minimum tread depth of 3.5 millimetres. For rural highways and mountain passes, tires with the mountain/snowflake symbol provide the best traction and handling. This winter, the regulations have been extended to April 30 from March 31 on select highways, most of which are located in the interior and northern parts of the province. Road conditions can change quickly and snowfall is still possible in these regions. While maintenance crews strive to keep routes safe and in the best possible condition, people must use caution and slow down when they encounter bad weather or limited visibility. Driving to current conditions will improve safety for everyone on the road. Crashes can be prevented when people are prepared. Here are some helpful tips for travelling in winter driving conditions: • Check the weather forecast and adjust travel times to more favourable conditions, or choose alternative routes. • For current road conditions, check DriveBC before leaving, as well as the nearly 800 highway webcam views available at more than 400 locations throughout B.C. • Wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement while driving, but bring warm clothing (winter boots, coat, gloves and hat) in case getting out of the vehicle is required. • Have an emergency plan and ensure the vehicle is equipped
with a windshield scraper and snow brush, food and water, a first-aid kit and other emergency supplies. • If stuck or stranded, do not panic. Stay with the vehicle for safety and warmth and if a cellphone is available, call for roadside assistance. If there is an emergency, call 911. Heavy snowfall or rapidly warming spring temperatures can increase the risk of avalanches in some areas. This can cause temporary highway closures while ministry avalanche experts ensure safe conditions. During these times, obey all traffic control personnel. The Sea To Sky Highway in the Lower Mainland and Malahat on Vancouver Island have not been included in the winter tire extension, and will see the regulations lifted on March 31.

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.
Flying High One of my favorite events at Lumby Days or other places that has this sport is watching the people on the Motor Cross Bikes (the first name was Motocross, which came from the French name Motocyclette and the combined words of cross country) flying high in the sky. I find this sport amazing, and I think to myself how brave these people are. They always make me say “WOW” sometimes in my head, and sometimes out loud. They fly over the trees, not in a Plane, Helicopter, Hang Glider,or anything else, but on a Motor Bike of sorts. This sport just amazes me, how they can be so high up in the air and do tricks, sometimes they only hang on by one hand sometimes no hands! This is not something for the weak at heart, nor is it something that they just decided to do one day, nope it takes a lot of practice and skill. Motor cross racing has been around for a very long time, starting in the UK. in the early 1860’s Pierre Michaux was the creator of the Velocipede (a bicycle reinvented with iron and wood with no springs) it In 1906 the evolution of this phenomenal sport began. At first it was just racing, but they were using was first called the “Bone Shaker” their own street bikes, not the specially made ones, making the races very dangerous. So with new technology the bikes were made to be safer, and faster more suited for racing.

More Pro-D For Child Care Staff Means Better Care For Young Children
British Columbia families and their children will soon benefit from the latest methods in early years teaching and learning, such as using play-based learning to help children build speech and language skills. This is part of an investment that will give early childhood educators (ECEs) and other child care providers more professional development (pro-d) training. This is the first investment in pro-d for the child care sector in more than a decade. The Province is investing $6.3 million into a variety of programs through its three-year, $153-million Early Learning and Child Care Agreement with the Government of Canada. “The first years of life are the building blocks for language, reading and sound development,” said Jean-Yves Duclos, federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development. “That is why I am pleased that the Government of Canada and the Government of British Columbia are working together to better support early childhood educators who have an extraordinary opportunity to help children in their earliest stages of life.” Six organizations – the Aboriginal Head Start Association of British Columbia ($500,000), BCcampus ($250,000), BC Family Child Care Association ($750,000), Early Childhood Educators of BC (ECE-

Canadian Black Book Annual Research Reveals Changing Demographics and Behavior of Car Buyers New Services Taking Hold as Over a Quarter of Young Drivers Rely on Car Sharing and 3 in 10 Canadians Would Buy Completely Online
Canadian Black Book is releasing results from its annual car buying study, conducted by Ipsos. The study breaks down the differences between various Canadian demographics, in how they shop, what they expect and overall knowledge gaps when it comes to vehicle shopping, buying and ownership. Vehicle ownership (or leasing) as a primary example, demonstrates a wide gap, where 48 per cent of those 18 to 34 years old surveyed own or lease, while 77 per cent of those 55 plus do. Nationally across all demos, the survey suggests that 47 per cent of the vehicle owning population is ready to buy a new vehicle in the next 24 months (down 4 points from last
When it comes to the idea of purchasing vehicles fully online, without going into a dealership, three in ten (29 per cent; two points increase from last year) of all respondents suggested they would likely do so. Males are much more likely at 36 per cent compared to females at 24 per cent, who would purchase online. Households with kids are at 40 per cent where those households with no kids are only likely at 24 per cent. The most probable demographic to conduct end-to-end online vehicle purchases are the youngest (18-34) at 43 per cent, where 30 per cent of those 35-54 would and the 55 plus group are least likely at just 16 per cent.

year). The group most likely to buy in that timeframe are those aged 35-54 at 53 per cent; those 18-34 sit at 51 per cent; and the oldest group is much less likely at 37 per cent. A partial explanation to the ownership (and leasing) and intentions to buy numbers by age group, is reflected in the growing trend to rely on ride sharing. Twelve per cent of respondents in total, said they rely on this evolving service. More than double that number (27 per cent) are in the youngest age category, compared to nine per cent of those 35-54 and only 4 per cent in the 55 plus age range.

“As we dissect this research we are finding some very telling statistics that we monitor from year to year, which help us understand developing trends and allow us to offer this information to the auto industry in Canada,” says Brad Rome, President at
Canadian Black Book. Also, when asked ‘how likely are you to reduce the number of vehicles in your household over the next two years’ two in ten Canadians said they would be likely to do so. When asked the same question, 35 per cent of the younger generation responded to be likely; while 19 per cent were likely in the middle age group; and only 12 per cent of those over 55 were likely. As for other online car shopping tools, specifically trade-in value calculators, surprisingly older Canadians are more likely to use these tools to research values at 65 per cent of those 55 and older, compared to 55 per cent of the 18-34 age group. At trade-in time, only 21 per cent of younger car buyers had a good idea of the value of their vehicle, while of those over 55 40 per cent suggest they had good knowledge of what their trade-in was worth. Sufficed to say, the older generation (55 plus) are far more likely to have traded-in a vehicle at 63 per cent of those respondents compared to only 29 per cent of those youngest group. “This directly correlates to experience in the market and why the industry needs to treat these consumers differently, in how they market, sell and service them along the ownership journey,” says Brian Murphy, VP Research and Editorial at Canadian Black Book.

Gender and age also bear some major discrepancies as it relates to the acceptance of alternate energy vehicles. If fuel prices were to increase $0.25, males are more likely to consider an alternate energy vehicle at 58 per cent, while only 38 per cent of females would be likely to choose the greener option. The younger a vehicle owner is the more likely they would consider these vehicles, where 58 per cent of those 18-34 would; 48 per cent in the 35-54 age range; and 40 per cent of those who are over 55 would. When it comes to financing, we see a similar storyline where younger vehicle owners are more likely to hold a loan at 32 per cent of those 18-34, 37 per cent of those 35 to 54 and only 23 per cent of those over 55. From a gender perspective, 34 per cent of males hold auto loans compared to 28 per cent of females. As expected income range and level of education

directly influences the purchase decision of whether to buy new or used. 65 per cent of those with university educations and the same number of those in a household making over $100k per year, buy new vehicles. Conversely, only 36 per cent of those surveyed in households making less than $40k annually, intend to buy new. In terms of gender, six in ten (60 per cent) males are likely to buy new versus 52 per cent of females. “Many of these trends might be what you would expect to see, however, seeing the actual numbers could serve as an eye opener and help determine strategies for OEMs and dealers moving forwards,” Murphy adds. About the Poll: These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between 21-24 December 2018, on behalf of Canadian Black Book. For this survey, a sample of 1,250 Canadians aged 18 and over was interviewed. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within ±3.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadians aged 18 and over been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error and measurement error.

Nutritional Supplements Timing With Your Circadian Rhythms
By: Donna Easto A wholesome diet of real food, grown organically and locally is undeniably the best way to get all the nutrients you need. Yet, North Americans still spend more than $30 billion a year on dietary supplements, and while supplements are sometimes needed for specific purposes, many are being taken that are of little benefit or lack proof of efficacy. We simply can’t supplement our way out of a poor diet. How do you know if you’re taking the wrong supplement or too much for your body? Digestive symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, or stomach pain are often the first indication of overuse. Our bodies flush out extra water-soluble vitamins like B-complex vitamins and C, so toxicity tends to be less likely an issue. On the other hand, fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K2 can be toxic if you take too much for your body. An excess of the mineral selenium, can cause hair loss, fatigue, and joint pain, and over-supplementation of iron can fuel inflammation. It’s a good idea to talk with your doctor, naturopath,or pharmacist about any supplements you’re taking on a regular basis, especially if you have dietary restrictions, or are on any type of medication. How do you know if you need supplements? Dietary supplements can be beneficial if you know or suspect you have a particular deficiency. Vegans and vegetarians are among the few who must pay close attention to their nutritional needs, as many critical nutrients are only found in animal-based foods, such
as omega 3 fats DHA and EPA. As for the rest of us, there are lab tests for vitamin D, B vitamins, iron, selenium, and magnesium that can all be done through basic conventional blood tests. That being said, if you are taking supplements when and how you take them - such as in time with your circadian rhythms or with or without food - can greatly impact both their safety and efficacy. Generally, the timing can be divided between daytime and nighttime, with food or without food. Some examples: Daytime with food: vitamin C; Daytime without food: probiotics; Nighttime with food: digestive enzymes, vitamin E; Nighttime without food: Magnesium, eye health supplements (with Lutein and Zeaxanthin). If you’re taking iron, the best time is mid morning or mid afternoon without food. When taking nutritional supplements you also need to pay attention to possible interactions with other supplements and medications. For example: don’t take zinc with calcium or iron - they may impair your body’s absorption of the zinc; don’t take your calcium or vitamin E with iron - they’ll interfere with the iron. Many of us take magnesium, which is best taken in the evening with or without food. And, if you’re taking calcium take them together. Vitamin B12 is poorly absorbed and is best taken on an empty stomach. It also can interact with a number of medications so before embarking on any B12 supplementation be sure to check out the contraindications. NEXT: Recipes for using herbs and spices
Flying High, from page 8 had a 500cc engines, in 1962 they were reinvented once again and the engines were 250cc. Greeves and Husqvarna had come up with the concept of 2 stroke engines which were now more lightweight and more agile, making them more faster and longer then they ever were before.. These were also more cheaper to maintain then their 4 cylinder cousins. Japanese companies like Suzuki in the late 60’s jumped on the band wagon and started manufacturing motorcycles. By 1972 in the Los Angeles Coliseum the first motocross race happened. Now it is not just racing, but Freestyle Motocross (known as FMX) which is riders impressing judges and audiences with jumps, and stunts. The other name for Freestyle Motocross is called Big Air (known also as Best Trick) where riders can cover more than 75 feet from a dirt covered ramp (this is the one that thrills me, and makes me say “WOW”.) There is also the “Back Flip”, the Cliff Hanger, The Front Flip, No Footers, Heel Clickers, One Handed Back Flips. But don’t think that any of these are easy, they can be very dangerous stunts that sometimes even the most skilled can get injured in. In 2008 at the Summer X games Jim Dechamp broke his back after a crash during a Front Flip, he made a comeback with the same Front Flip three months later at the Guin-
ness World Record Event. In 2009 Jeremy Lusk tried to do a Hart Attack Indian Air Back Flip he crashed and hit his head on the landing, he died of head and spinal cord injuries. There are also some people that did fantastic stunts and were not hurt, in 2015 Josh Sheehan did the first triple Back Flip, in 2016 Greg Duffy got the first Double Front Flip at the Nitro World Games. So when you see these people out there make sure you applaud them as they deserve to be appreciated for the wonderful, but dangerous stunts they put on for you. Well I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for Lumby Days this year, so that I can go and watch my favorite event, and hey don’t forget the the theme for Lumby Days this year is Medieval. See you there!

OBITUARIES
Brian Jones
July 19, 1942 - March 20, 2019
Brian Jones was called home to be with the Lord on March 20, 2019. Brian was born in Calgary on July 19th, 1942 to William and Magdalena Jones. He was the middle of 3 brothers. He grew up in Osoyoos and enjoyed reminiscing of his adventures there including climbing the mountains, hunting rattlesnakes, collecting carp for fertilizing his Mom’s garden, making wine (at a young age) and many other fun times. The adventures continued when he married his soulmate, Penny, in September 1964. Brian was a Mister Fix It All and pushed himself to the max to fix anything and everything from grandfather clocks to home renos to Skidders and everything in between. Brian and Penny bought 5 acres in Lavington with a little 1 bedroom log cabin. They were so excited to welcome the additions to their family, Kirt, Troy, Trevor, and Rachelle. He then built a unique log house for the family on the property where many fun times were had. After the children moved out, Brian and Penny bought acreage on Shuswap River Road where Brian loved to listen to the birds, enjoy the nature, and loved his spectacular flowering succulent rock gardens. He spent a major part of his life, especially after retirement, fixing his families cars. One of his favorite pastimes was working in his large shop while listening to country music. He loved when he discovered the internet as then if he had troubles with the newer cars, he could google it up! He would spend hours on-line following his stocks, investments, world news, and studying the Russian language. Brian looked forward to making coffee for his sweetheart each morning and him and Penny would sit and talk and enjoy the beauty of their place. Brian had an immense love for his family, he was patient, understanding, full of wisdom and was a spiritual man open to all new ways of looking at life. He will be fondly remembered by his wife, Penny, sons Kirt, Troy (Cheryl), Trevor (Violet), and daughter Rachelle (Greg) Lowe as well as his grandchildren Sarah, Hanna, Parker, Coleman, and Ever. He leaves behind 2 brothers, Dan and Frank. Brian loved to laugh and everyone who met him, loved him. There are many friends who will miss his dimpled smile. The family invites you to celebrate this amazing man’s life on Saturday, April 13th at 2:00 P.M. at the Lumby Curling Rink. In lieu of flowers, please plant one in honor of Brian, think about this special man, and listen to the birds with a smile on your face.

12 Hours That Can Change Your Life Want to know how to feel happier, more confident and worry less? Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Vernon & District Branch is offering Living Life to the Full classes to help community members make a positive difference in their lives. Through interactive sessions, participants learn to understand their feelings, thoughts and behaviors, and discover new ways of dealing with the myriad of challenging situations encountered in life. Living Life to the Full is suitable for individuals experiencing low mood and mild to moderate symptoms of depression. “Classes would benefit those who feel like they are being less social and are experiencing a decline in the quality of their relationships,” said Julia Payson, CMHA Vernon Executive Director. The course is not recommended for people who have been diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder. “In those circumstances, a more intensive approach would need to be taken,” said Payson. Each session is moderated by a trained facilitator and includes a booklet, handouts, exercises and discussions. CMHA Vernon has three certified facilitators with a combined 10 years’ experience in leading the course.
The next Living Life to the Full course takes place Tuesdays from 10:00 am to 11:30 am April 9 to May 28 at the CMHA Vernon Conference Centre at 3100 28 Avenue. Cost is $225 per person with subsidized rates available. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. For more information or to register, contact Tasha at 250-275-8062 ext. 4.
How to Start Your Geneology The Lumby Branch of Okanagan Regional Library is excited to announce that the Vernon Historical Society will be holding 3 genealogy sessions in our library. The sessions will be from 10:00 am to 12 noon. The first session on April 6th is: “Where do I begin?”, Session 2 on April 27th is “What Do I Do Now?” and the last session on May 11th is “Going Forward and Wrapping Up Your Family Tree.” Please register at the library for one or more of these sessions, 250-5479528. The library thanks the Vernon Historical Society for making these sessions possible.
