Just for Fun Paraprosdokians
A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected. • Where there's a will, I want to be in it. • The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it's still on my list. • Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak. • If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. • War does not determine who is right - only who is left. • Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. • They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to tell you why it isn't. • To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. • I thought I wanted a career. Turns out, I just wanted pay checks. • In filling out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put "DOCTOR." • I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. • Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street...with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

Re-Introducing Bill C-22 Dear Editor: It is disappointing that Trudeau is campaigning on fear and hate. Trudeau and the Liberals hope that they can frighten the public against Canadians who own firearms. Just for votes. The Liberals believe they can trick ignorant voters into believing that guns somehow cause normal people to engage in violence, even abusing women. This is false. Hunters and sport shooters are some of the most responsible citizens around. Anyone who owns a firearm has been screened by the RCMP and must keep their nose clean or they lose their guns as well as go to jail.
Trudeau claims that by calling normal semi-automatic hunting rifles ‘assault style” military looking he can frighten ignorant voters. Trudeau thinks that blaming hunters and sport shooters for gang violence will allow the Liberals to keep their “hug-a-thug” policies. If the Liberals get back in power, they promise to re-introduce bill C-22 which reduces the penalties for using guns to commit a violent crime. That’s not right. Anyone who uses a gun to commit a violent crime should spend some time in prison. Respectfully yours, Gary Mauser Coquitlam, BC Submitted by Peter Aussem, Lumby, BC
Condition of the Salmon Trail Today on Labour Day, September 6, I decided to get my nature medicine by taking a walk on Lumby’s Salmon Trail, the one that starts from the Chamber of Commerce. I was a perfect day and I wanted to see if my post-surgery legs were ready for the bumpy surfaces. There were many things that kind of distressed me. I was hoping to see careful reconstruction
now that the Village council had purportedly taken an interest in fixing it. Apart from the fact that some of the metal fencing and aluminum were bashed in and distorted, I noted that the grounds outside the fencing were not appropriate to the ambience of the salmon trail. On the south side there were piles of logs that came very close to overshadowing the paths and looking threatening should they fall. On the north side further along the trail, the grounds were flattened and cleared of any natural shrubbery. No allowance for bio-diversity here. In other places piles of rubble or wood waste were left. Closer to the end of the trail, in the industrial park, machinery was left in grass and neglected territory. In short, it appears that the many owners adjacent to the trail (as narrow as it was) showed no consideration for the aesthetic values of this community asset. I am asking the Village council to look at the trail, and ask themselves is this the best we can do for it? Could a committee be appointed to address some of the concerns I have raised? All is not lost. There was a very tall, healthy tree. with a bat house, that appeared to be a very lovely specimen. Many walkers have used this park, but on a nice day like today there was almost no one. I wonder why? If people walk this trail on a regular basis, could they not give back by taking photos of the trail and reporting disturbances to the council. Maybe the council or regional district could get a grant to fund a student to look at enhancing the bio-diversity, and liaising with industrial owners to improve the transition between their area and the trail.

What’s A Postman’s Favourite Herb?... Parcel-y!
Harvesting You Herb Garden Tonight my beloved Saskatchewan Rough Riders lost their first game of the season but with the company of the first guests I’ve had in a long time at my home (3) it was still an enjoyable event. Snow has fallen in the higher areas of our province including Silver Star and now is the time to consider the harvest of some of our garden. Growing Herbs is easy and enjoyable. They are a great companion plant and many of them can help deter pest and attract pollinators. They enhance our food and many are high in nutrients as well. Unless you grow a window box herb garden in your home harvesting them and storing them in a climate like ours is a must. There are several methods to do this but not all herbs can be treated the same. Herbs like oregano, dill, lemon balm, lemongrass, sage and thyme are good for drying it actually enhances the flavour so when you use them you only need about a quarter of what you would normally use except for thyme. Oregano is actually better dried than fresh for flavour. These herbs are usually added early in your cooking and this allows plenty of time for them to release their flavour. Rosemary can also be dried it mellows its heavier pine flavour but the texture changes and it is best ground after drying. There are several methods of drying your herbs but before doing so they should be gently washed and then dried by spreading them on a towel before bundling to hang. Be sure to hang these bundles in a warm, dry, dark spot in your house. If you do not have a dark spot or are worried about dust you can cover the bundles with a paper bag. But be sure they still have good air circulation. Check them often to ensure no mildew. This method will take anywhere from one to four weeks. You can then strip the leave off the stem and put in air tight containers for storage again in a dark place. You can also dry them in the oven by placing the herbs on a cookie sheet and putting in an oven at 150 degrees for a few hours. Be sure to place parchment paper on your cookie sheets as the metal will detract from their flavour. Be sure the herbs are totally dry, they should crumble off the stem easily and are good for about a
year. Delicate herbs like basil, chives, mint, cilantro, tarragon, and parsley are best frozen although I freeze my dill as well. Of course there are several methods of doing this as well. Basil will loose some of its colour when frozen unless it is steamed first then the leaves can be spread on a cookie sheet and frozen. Place the frozen basil is freezer bags for future use. Another method of freezing herbs is to chop then pack the herbs in ice cube trays and top with water. Once the cubes are frozen transfer to freezer bags and keep in your freezer. They should be good for several months. You can also puree the herbs with olive oil or water before you freeze them in the ice cube trays. Use 1 to 1.5 cups herb to a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Use ice cube trays that are dedicated to freezing as it does stain them. Rosemary can also be frozen. Place it on a cookie sheet in sprigs then freeze for several hours and then transfer to freezer bags. This way it can be used for flavouring and garnish. With both drying and freezing be sure to label your herbs and put the date on the packages as well. COVID has reared its ugly little head in numbers that are concerning right here in our community, several businesses have had to shut their doors to help prevent further spread and I hear a few people are severely ill. I hope that this will outbreak will convince more people to do the right thing. As in getting their shots! I worry that if people that need to do this are still so selfish will they do the right thing like isolate as they should if they have possibly been exposed? Please consider the ramifications of what this could mean to people who cannot be vaccinated or have health issues and are vaccinated. Please stay safe and be thoughtful of others, to let our guard down now will mean more misery and loss for us all. Happy Gardening! Samantha Nason BS Ranch & Greenhouse

Soup!
Fall is in the air. It is that time of year when we start thinking of bringing out our crock pots or in general, a want for warmer foods like soups. Soups are great as they can be easy to make, affordable, filling, and sustainable, as it is a good way to use up veggies in your fridge, or boil that bone you had from a turkey, chicken, or roast. From broths, broth based, too thick creamy soups, there are many different types. They all have their advantages or disadvantages in some cases. Broths are great to help hydrate you when feeling a little off and broth=based are more substantial and thick creamy soups can be a full meal on their own. If you are watching your calories, then broth-based would be a better choice than thick creamy soups. Depending on if you purchase your soup from a grocery store or if you make homemade, can also make a big difference. Usually, thick creamy soups can be laden with high fat and not really that healthy. But if homemade you can control the type of fat and other ingredients to make it healthier, even if higher calorie. If not making homemade and purchasing from a store, there a few things to look out for. Soups high in sodium can cause you to retain water and high-calorie soups won't be as effective for reducing the total amount of calories you consume at your meal. For example, here are some ready-to-eat canned soups as per 100 grams. • Chicken noodle soup: 36 calories -143 mg sodium – 1.2g fat • New England clam 56 calories - 417mg sodium 1.4g fat • Ham and bean sou: 231 calories - 187 mg sodium - 1g fat • Pumpkin Soup: 121 calories - 517mg sodium 5.8g fat • Creamed potato: 104 calories - 416 sodium - 5.6g fat You can see some big differences in the above soups. It depends on what your goals are with the soup. If it is very nutrient dense being both higher in fat and sodium, but you are using that particular soup intended as a meal, it can be perfectly fine. Although there can be some big differences between the thick creamy soups amongst themselves ingredient wise. Healthwise, choose ones that have healthy ingredients as avocado, olive oil, plain yogurt and or different vegetable-based purees like mushroom, pumpkin
or butternut squash, compared to heavy starches as potato or heavy thickeners as cream, butter or cheese. However, if you are looking for soup to help with weight loss, then there is a pattern to what type and when to eat your soup. A broth-based soup 30 minutes before you plan to eat your main meal, will give you time to finish your soup and let your stomach register the food. This will help you feel a bit fuller before you eat your main course. It should help you eat smaller portions of the more calorie-dense foods on your plate. For even better results, eat other low-energy-density foods on your plate, such as nonstarchy vegetables, before you eat your protein or starchy foods. The fiber will bulk and also help fill your stomach a bit more. Although beware, adding soup to the beginning of your meal won't help you lose weight if you don't consume fewer calories overall. You need to create an energy deficit to lose weight. 3500 calories = 1 lb so you need to eat less each day or exercise more. This could be achieved by eating between 500 and 1,000 fewer calories per day to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week or expending that same amount of energy to equal those extra calories through exercise.

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.
Do you Believe? The Art Gallery in Lumby is doing a show this month on The Power of Storytelling. This can be of anything, stories from your families and friends passed down, myths, truths, or even made up . Being from Irish descent, I too heard stories. I heard of the stories of the great famine that killed some of my ancestors. I heard the stories of how Saint Patrick chased all the snakes out of Ireland, (in reality there never really were any snakes in Ireland, Antarctica, Iceland, Greenland, Hawaii, New Zealand, some colder parts of Canada, and Northern Russia.) Over time so many stories of different things, some I believed some I didn't. The stories of the Fairies have always stuck in my head, and yes like a lot of people of Irish descent I do believe in the Fairies. Throughout history Fairies are mentioned in many ways and forms. They go by many different names and spellings. Fairies can be good or evil depending on what kind they are and how they are treated.
If Fairy is spelled this way, the Fairies are probably good, maybe a little bit mischievous, in a fun way but still good. If the word Faerie is spelled this way, then be careful of how you tread, they are evil. They could be a Shee. These Faeries are not good at all. We would hear the stories how the Shee would kidnap young children and make them their slaves, or turn them into their pets. Fairies of many types have been displayed in books, movies, tv programs, songs etc. they have been around for thousands of years. In Greek mythology the Nymphs, Satyrs and River Gods were consid-

Arts & Culture from the Edge
Happening now; Storytelling Stories have always been an integral part of what it is to be human, whether in our own personal lives or through our history and culture. It is perhaps one of the things which make us human; we
have been conveying stories since before the written word came into being. Originally stories and the lessons they taught the future generations were passed down orally or through other forms of communication such as the arts. The Monashee Arts Council is happy to host ‘Storytelling’ at the Village Gallery join us to take a look into the stories behind the art. The Village Gallery is located at 1975 Vernon St. (Hwy.6), and opens Monday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

Call for Youth Artists “Every child is an Artist” –Pablo Picasso Once again we ask if you know any youth who enjoy creating October is their time to shine as the Monashee Arts Council hosts their 2nd annual ArtKids show. This show is open to all artists under 25yrs old to showcase current or past works of art. Submissions will be This poem was submitted by Dave Bosomworth from his 'Waiting due September 30th in the Wings: A collection of Poems, Volume XIX, 2020' as part of and is open to 2-D and the 'Storytelling' show put on by the Monashee Arts Council. 3-D (drawing, painting, photography, sculpting, Today I Saw A Grown Man Cry beading, wood carving, Today I saw a grown man cry, shaking sorrows and dark fears; sewing and so much because he loved, his wound was deep and his eyes bled; 'Storyteller elder' by Julie Wilding more!) as his courage wept, my heart was warmed by my own secret tears while all my hidden feelings, with the shadows, fled. How vulnerable he looked, as I eyed his broken, flowing form; for as a stranger to the river where he cried, I knew nothing of the rains that fell that day and brought this storm ‘til he spoke of early sunlight that had died. Stranger, ever judging, had to shrink back out into the gloom, ADVANCE POLLS ARE OPEN while Shadow crept back in, bringing softness to the waiting room. SEPTEMBER 10 - 13! Picked up his child, I did, and rocked him, kissed the bleeding from his eyes, carried him far from the river and the storm; wrapped him up in moss to keep him warm and safe from present lies, future secrets, drowning, and the sacred norm. O.A.P. Monashee 50 Plus Club Hall He was drowning in his tears and needed to escape the power of the ocean where the rivers run at last 1765 Glencaird Street, Lumby to join the mystic depth of all that is, no time to smell the flowers that bring pleasure to a muddied, washed-out past. I left this grown man resting in the softness of the forest bed, his journey just begun, its possibilities still swirling in his head. I left him in the tree stand, in the forest deep, where winds were light and flora dense, his form now standing tall and straight; Read our plan to secure the future with Paradox always at hand, his tears had washed him clean and bright, where weak is strong and sadness moves to banish hate. It’s not my place to show men paths to choose while on their living walk; it’s not my place to rescue them from frequent storms; www.conservative.ca/plan but it’s my special honour now, to walk beside this friend and talk of how his crying river made him strong in form. Today I saw a grown man cry and talk of dying as a choice; MEL4MP.CA (250) 463-4532 it changed me and I told him so, with quiet nod and gentle voice.

Do you believe, from page 6
ered to be of a Fairy sort. The Lady of the Lake, Morgana the great sorceress, often called Morgana Le Fay (Fay meant Fairy) in King Arthur's legend. Mermaids and Mermen called Merrows are also thought to be a form of Fairy. I remember my mom telling us the story of when she was a little girl, still living in Ireland and she went to one of her Aunties' weddings near the water when she looked around she saw some trooping Fairies dancing to the music. My mom was not afraid knowing that they would not harm her or her Aunties guest, as they had always been welcomed in my Mom's and her Auntie's homes. Trooping, sometimes called Social Fairies, are like a clan, they live and play together, they love to have a feast, sing and dance. If they are treated with kindness and respect
Moments
they will be the same towards you, but never cross a Social Fairy as they could become very hostile and mean towards you. Fairies did not always have wings, nor do they all glow. Some are very tiny, some are as big as a human. They are not Gods, or Goddesses nor are they mortal. Here are some names of different Fairies good and bad, each description is very long so I will just give you the names. The Changelings, The Banshee, The Leprechaun, The Pooka or spelled Puca, The Dullahan, Elves, Gnomes, Brownies, Sprites, The Fool, Goblins, Pixies, Korrigan, Etc. If I could afford it I would get married in Ireland, see some of my family that still live there that I have never met. Take in all the glory and beauty of the Emerald Isle, and maybe, just maybe the Fairies will come and dance at my wedding.
