What Is The Mexican Weather Report?… Chilli Today And Hot Tamale!!!

Oh Boy its a Girl

Well this week has given us our first taste of winter, a very early snowfall and a record cold. This is not only disappointing as to its earliness but also due to the fact that most of the leaves are not off the trees and this has lead to some considerable damage and an awful mess to clean up in spring. I have several trees that have hardly even started to turn but thanks to my husband using a leaf blower and a long pole to knock some of the snow off our damage so far seems minimal. I’m sure everyone remembers last years start to the New Year with outrageous amount of snow and a blackout that lasted 5 or 6 days for the luckiest of us and worse for some others. That was considered a neutral year in terms of El Nino and La Nina. This year we have moved into a 55 to 75 percent position of La Nina and there is the potential for significant snow, ice and cold. So ready your snow blowers and shovels. El Nino means the boy and is the most powerful climatic force on earth! It causes great changes in the trade winds which weaken and can change directions and causes significant droughts in countries that really don’t need it to massive flooding which again is in countries that really don’t need it. The last most significant El Nino affected over 60 million people with

death, disease, homelessness and starvation. El Nino occurs when ocean temperatures rise in temperature in the equatorial area of the Pacific Ocean. The outcome for Canadians is generally a warmer winter and drier winter here in BC. La Nina means the girl and is less destructive and occurs when the temperature in equatorial areas of the Pacific Ocean are a couple of degrees colder and that is what is occurring now. Although the overall affect is a reduction in cloud formation and therefore less rainfall this is more significant in the south western US of A and of course an increase in hurricane activity to the east. In our area this means cooler weather can be expected, and larger amounts of snow thing about it is it should dissipate in January some will fall especially in the mountainous areas with time and could mean an early Spring. Oh good, plenty more ice and a greater avalanche risk. La Nina will of time to clean up the dead leaves! Happy Gardening! also cause deep freeze temperatures for the prairies, Samantha Nason more snow for Ontario and Quebec, the Atlantic BS Ranch & Greenhouses area should be warmer than normal. Of course this can fluctuate somewhat with the Jet Stream and the 250 547 6567 fact that La Nina tends to fluctuate a bit too. The nice samanthanason@hotmail.com

What’s Cookin’?

For many, the pandemic has created a lot of obstacles; the aging population has been faced with a multitude of burdens over these trying months. It is no secret that older adults are at a heightened risk and the messages have been loud and clear: “Stay home, avoid groups and crowds”. While great advice, these recommendations fail to address the struggles that low to moderate income seniors face on a daily basis, such as food security. Being able to access groceries, consume healthy, affordable meals AND ensure adequate nutrition is a pretty tall order! Most elderly are on a fixed income and cannot afford to stock pile supplies, access transportation or risk going into bustling stores. In our community and surrounding areas, several organizations have recognized these challenges and have worked tirelessly to meet the needs of our golden age residents. Cherryville has recently launched pre-made food for their local seniors’; featuring balanced, nutritious meals at a low price. Please call Lynne Frerichs at 250-547-6540 for information on this exciting new

MIKKIE’S CORNER

Health & Nutrition

Phytonutrients

In other corners, I have talked about macro/micro-nutrients. Macronutrients being big nutrients our bodies need in grams, (carbohydrates, proteins and fats). Micronutrients being small nutrients our bodies need in milligrams (vitamins and minerals). Then there are other branches as such as phytonutrients. Phytonutrients or phytochemicals, are produced by plants to keep healthy. For example, some phytonutrients protect plants from insects and others protect from UV radiation. Phytonutrients have significant benefits to our health and are in many of the macro/micro-nutrients that we eat. Some of these benefits are their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory affects along with enhancing immunity, intercellular communication, reparation of DNA damage, detoxification of carcinogens and alteration of estrogen metabolism. Phytonutrient-rich foods are colourful, like in fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, tea, whole grains and many spices. Another is in wine made from grapes, particularly red. Grape bioflavonoids have been shown to be free radical scavengers, that are even more powerful than Vitamins C and E. Free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing illness and aging. This chemical reaction that occurs is called oxidation. Think of it as when you cut an apple if you leave it, it starts to turn brown. To stop this oxidizing effect just simply squeeze some lemon or lime juice over top and the vitamin C from that juice stops that aging or browning of the apple. There are more than 25,000 phytonutrients found in plant foods. Below are the prominent 6 that have potential health effects for humans:

and especially found in green tea. Hesperidin work as an antioxidant reducing inflammation, helping prevent chronic disease and found in citrus fruits. Flavanols may help reduce risk of asthma, certain cancers and coronary heart disease. Quercetin a well-studied type of flavanol, is found in applies, berries, kale and onions. radicals as well as converting alpha/beta carotene’s and beta -cryptoxanthin to Vitamin A. Vit A helps the immune system work properly and is needed for eye health. Yellow and orange foods like pumpkins and carrots are sources of alpha- and beta-carotene. These along with sweet red peppers contain beta-cryptoxanthin. Lycopene – has been linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer. It is found in tomatoes, watermelon and pink grapefruit giving them their red or pink colour. Lutein and zeaxanthin help with 2 types of eye conditions by helping protect from cataracts and macular degeneration that may come with age. 2. Ellagic Acid Studies done in laboratories have shown that ellagic acid, may help protect against cancer by slowing the growth of cancer cells. It may also help your liver neutralize cancer-causing chemicals in your system. It is found in berries and other plant foods, but especially in strawberries, raspberries and pomegranates.

3. Flavonoids Are found in a variety of plant foods and are bro1. Carotenoids ken out as follows: Act as antioxidants in the body taking care of free Catechins may help prevent certain types of cancer

October is almost over and we are now entering our chillier November. With November comes our Remembrance Day November 11 2020 Here are the changes that will be made for this Remembrance Day: There will not be a parade this year. There will not be any Cadets at the Cenotaph. We will only have a a handful people at the Cenotaph to perform the services for our Veterans. Because of the COVD19 putting people at risk, the Legion is following public health guidelines. We ask that spectators stay home and watch services on tv or online rather than in person. There are other ways to participate for November 11 2020, wearing your poppies once

they are available, and at 11:00 am on November 11 having 2 minutes of silence no matter where you are Wreaths will be laid before the service if you have your own wreath to lay, please wait until the service is done and the crowd has left. After the service, adults only may come to the Legion, (please reserve this space for our Veterans) as we are restricted on how many people we have at the Legion at this time. The upstairs will not be open. So this year the chlidren will not be allowed sorry for the inconvenice . Donations to our Legion are greatly appreciated It is time to renew your Legion membership

4. Resveratrol Acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which may play a role in reducing risk of heart disease, certain cancers. It is found in grapes, purple grape juice and red wine. 5. Glucosinolates Give, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale and broccoli, their sharp odor and flavor. Glucosinolates turn into other chemicals during the cooking process, that may help hold in check the development and growth of cancer. 6. Phytoestrogens Can exert estrogen-like effects and even block the effects of your natural supply of estrogen. One type is isoflavones found in soy foods, which may be linked to lowering the risk of endometrial cancer and bone loss in women. Lignans another type of phytonutrient is converted in your body into chemicals with some estrogen-like effects. Two good sources for this are flaxseeds and sesame seeds Mikkie Nettles, Certified Personal Trainer/Holistic & Sports Nutritionist Follow DEEM Health on Facebook, or contact info@deemhealth.ca

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.

Halloween Again 2020 Could be very scary BOO! This year Halloween will have a different look and feel. Some people are wondering if they should have their kids go trick or treating or not. Other people have come up with some brilliant ideas on having their kids trick or treat at home. Here are some ideas people have come up with: In their house they will have all the doors closed, the kids will dress up as usual and go to each closed door, someone in the family will open the door and give the kids their treats. Of course, the house will be very decorated inside, with all the scary stuff hung up. Some people have created a Pumpkin Patch in their yards, with hay bales etc. and have the kids go through there, gathering their treats along the way. Some of the people are hiding their candy in their yards or inside their house and having the kids look for the treats like they would for an Easter Egg hunt. (I like that one, it sounds like fun) I heard of one place where the adults are going to

dress up and go knocking on their doors at home, and the kids would give the adults the treats (of course this could backfire as the kids might want the adults to do tricks instead hahaha) As for treat giving there are so many inventive ways this year. If the kids are going outside in their own yard, or to people's houses one of the things I saw was to get some baby socks fill them with rice, put them in the microwave for a few seconds then give them to the kids to keep their hand warm ( great idea) If you are giving out treats this year think of the no touch way. I saw on tv where people made a long tube out of PVC pipe and put chocolate bars into the pipe so that it would go into the kids' bag. I have heard where people have just left the candy outside on a table, or decorated a tree in orange fashion filled with candies. Some people are staying home and having a zoom party (if my WIFI wasn't so hit and miss I could do this to, usually if I have to go on zoom, I have to leave the house)

So many cool ideas out there this year, if you don't have your own go on the internet, so many great things you can do for Halloween this year. But remember whatever you do stay safe, if you are taking your kids out trick or treating make sure to have them and you wear visible clothing, so that drivers can see all of you.

Two Lumby Volunteers Were Awarded Very Prestigious BC Snowmobiling Federation (BSCF) Awards This Past Week.

Coffee - Trick Or Treats?

By Donna Easto , C.H., H.C., M.H., Certified Herbal Educator It's a devilishly good drink; just ask Pope Clement VIII. It’s 1600, local clergy are worried. Is coffee part of a satanic plot by Ottoman infidels to capture Christian Europeans' souls? They petition the Pope to outlaw the increasingly popular drink. Instead, intrigued by the fragrance of the dark liquid, Pope Clement bravely quaffs a cup. He likes it so much, instead of banning coffee, he blesses it, outfoxing Satan. The Church's somewhat self-serving wisdom ensured the spread of the demonic brew throughout Europe. Nowadays, coffee is a wildly popular drink worldwide. Despite its popularity, there's still confusion about what coffee does to our body. Biology 101 tells us coffee contains caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant (the trick). It also contains antioxidants (the treats), a broad group of molecules that soak up dangerous wastes in our body. We'll leave talking about the positive effects of the antioxidants for another article. Let's focus on the buzz around stimulants (caffeine is the world’s most commonly used psychoactive drug).

Coffee has two faces, it can wake you up, it can keep you from sleep. Caffeine interferes with your body's natural ability to rest when it's tired. Too much coffee, you're jittery, jumpy and sleepless. Not everyone processes caffeine the same way. It can pose a serious health concern by deepening depression, increasing heart rate and intensifying arrhythmias. Unfiltered coffee (Turkish, French press or boiled) has been associated with an increase in serum cholesterol levels, while reviews do not associate this effect with filtered coffee. People with heart disease, liver disease, Type 1 diabetes, or take thyroid medications or echinacea should speak with their health care provider about caffeine consumption. Pregnant women should limit caffeine intake. Breastfed infants don’t metabolize caffeine well. Coffee for weight control. Rats fed instant coffee to the human equivalent of 70 to 80 cups of coffee daily were found to weigh less than a control group. Wicked! How much is too much? According to the Mayo Clinic, a robust adult can safely drink up to 400mg of caffeine per day. An average (8 oz) cup of coffee contains 75-130mg caffeine, a shot of espresso 55-76mg. Overdose/caffeine intoxication can be fatal. Symptoms to look for: restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, tremors, talkativeness, periods of undisciplined activity, irritability, racing or erratic heartbeat, diar-

rhea, seizures, abdominal pain, and mental confusion. These symptoms require immediate medical care. What's the good news about caffeine? It improves endurance sports performance, relieves tension headaches, and contains antioxidants that prevent or slow cell damage. In one study (rats again), caffeine triggered smooth muscle contraction, promoting bowel movements. Caffeine will definitely wake you up in the morning and by adding ashwagandha powder you’ll improve your stress response. Cutting back on caffeine? You can expect the following ghosts to visit you within 24 hours: headache, sleepiness, brain fog and irritability. If you’re staying indoors with family, you may want to reduce the severity of symptoms by reducing your intake slowly.

We have tried to create a Christmas store where that can happen: Over twenty local artists have set up displays in the Village Gallery (1975 Vernon Street) with samples of their products, bio, photo and business cards. People can come in, get ideas and contact the artists outside the store at their own and the artist’s convenience. The Monashee Arts Council is not charging for this community service. If you are in a hurry and see something you want and don’t have the time to contact the artists themselves... we will accommodate you. Items in the store are for sale. The show runs from November 2nd to December 24th and is open from 10 to 4 Monday to Saturday. The store will be closed from 12:30 to 1 pm each day for sanitization. Please do not shop if you are feeling unwell, wear a mask and use the sanitizer provided. We plan on enjoying this wonderful season!
