Just for Fun Little Johnny Jokes

• Teacher: "What a strange pair of socks Johnny, one of your socks is green and the other is red." Johnny: "Yes, it is very strange. I have another pair at home exactly the same." • Little Johnny's teacher says to him, "Johnny! your essay on My Dog is exactly the same as your sister's!" Did you just copy hers?, she asks. Johnny says, "No, teacher, it is the same dog!" • Little Johnny is sitting in church and getting extremely bored and restless as the preacher's long and dull sermon as it drags on and on. Not able to take it anymore, he leans over to his dad and whispers in his ear, "Hey, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?" • Little Johnny was struggling with his school grades. One day he surprises his teacher with an announcement. He walks up to her and says, "I don't want to scare you, but my daddy says if I don't start getting better grades, somebody is going to get a spanking!" • Teacher: "Now Little Johnny, be honest, do you say your prayers every night before dinner?" Johnny: "No miss, my mother is a really good cook." Teacher: "Little Johnny, how do you spell "elephant"? Little Johnny: "E-L-E-F-A-N-T" Teacher: "No Johnny, that in incorrect."

Local & Regional News A Barn Dance for Cole

It’s been a long two years with covid and many are ready to get outside, socialize and get back to some sense of normalcy. As the Team Leader of Kraft Hockeyville -Lumby 2016 it was Angie Clowry's goal to have a dance in the Pat Duke Arena affectionately called ‘The Barn’ when renovations were complete. Funds from the Regional District of the North Okanagan, a Telus Grant, many donors, the winnings from Kraft Hockeyville and federal gas tax grant all went into the 3-million-dollar upgrade. And then Covid hit. The RDNO commissioned an incredible video showcasing the updates, Clowry says "it's time to invite everyone out to have a look inside the rink with all ages by donation Lumby Barn Dance which follows up with a ticketed 19+dance in the evening." This isn't her first rodeo or dance at the Pat Duke Arena. Clowry says she wanted the event to benefit someone or something as well, and with Lumby resident Cole Derry needing a 2nd kidney transplant and currently doing dialysis, Clowry says "it's Divine Timing." Cole along with his wife Karen have been very open about their journey on facebook: Cole's Kidney Journey Following Cole's kidney transplant in 2020 various challenges saw them heading to Vancouver a number of times for infections and treatments. Now, doctors are saying that a 2nd kidney transplant is needed. Cole recently posted "When the transplant failed it crushed me. I couldn't ask for support because everyone gave me so much before." Clowry says "Cole & Karen aren't asking for help, the community is offering it and we plan to have a great time doing it. We are gathering silent auction items with the hopes of creating a solid fund for Cole & Karen. Auction items can be dropped off at Trail Tire Lumby." Clowry says “Another task is signing people up to be an organ donor, as it is no longer attached to our drivers licenses. Grab your health care number and log on to www.taketwominutes.ca to register your consent for organ donation. We have a great Lumby resident, Grandma Joan Barker who received a liver over 25 years ago, I remember her before and after her surgery and the impact her and her family has made in the community. We are so grateful for the person

and their family who chose to donate it. And we hope that in a tragedy that we all pay life forward with organ donation to help others." Clowry is challenging friends of Cole's and anyone who's family member has received an organ donation, “please consider becoming a living donor. We each have 2 kidneys, if we can find a living kidney donor this would be the best outcome for the event as well as for Cole.” Anyone willing to consider a Living Kidney Donor it would be graciously appreciated. Cole has a less common B+ blood type, and while you may not be the correct blood type match for Cole, you may be for someone else. And a paired exchange of kidney donors can happen. For those wanting to support financially with an e-transfer or willing to consider live kidney donation please email kidney4cole@gmail.com Lumby Barn Dance Sat April 30th Live Music by The Young'Uns, Lost N Found Band & DJ Bonneau 4p - 5:30p All Ages Dance by donation to Cole's Kidney Journey 9p - 2a 19+ advanced tickets $40 at Jitterbeans, Trail Tire Lumby, Antlers and at Farm Bound’s Warehouse sales on Thursday & Saturday while they last.

Anyone Can Use My Lawn Mover At Any Time... Provide That They Don’t Leave My Yard!

Your Spring Yard

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. It’s been unseasonably cold so far this year and although we aren’t suffering through a blizzard and three feet of snow like Manitoba there has been frost on the ground every morning this last week. I’ve even had a touch of frost in the greenhouse. Night time temperatures should remain above freezing for the rest of the month but one shouldn’t be fooled into getting too far along in the yard work or planting. I have gently raked part of my lawn to remove fir cones and twigs and limbs that have come down over the winter. I’m amazed how much debris there was and how nice it looks. The lawn looks like it had a easy time of it over the winter and I will be treating it to a nitrogen rich but balanced fertilizer very soon as the spring feed (one of four) is probably the most important feed you can give it. There is a bit of moss growing which means it will need a dusting of lime soon as well. May will be the time to treat your lawn to a pre emergent like corn gluten meal that will prevent seeds from weeds like crab grass from being able to put down roots. It is too early to aerate the lawn, that should be done in early June and then followed with a treatment of 2- 4D which is a hormone treatment that will rid your lawn of broadleaf weeds. Results from this treatment will be evident in about 10 to 14 days. Both these treatments need to be applied under strict wet and dry conditions so weather watching will

be required to be successful. It is still too early to plant grass seed in any bare spots and do not do this before you use a pre emergent. Lawns absorb carbon dioxide CO2 through photosynthesis and give off oxygen so it is good for the environment however lawns also require a fair amount of work and water so a balance should be considered. When watering your lawn do water deep, to a depth of 6 inches and only once a week unless it gets extremely hot. This should be done early to mid day allowing for the grass to dry before nightfall to prevent fungal and mildew issues. A good measure of watering depth can be obtained by putting a coffee can out in the area being watered and when it is filled to a depth of 4 inches you have watered deep enough. Mowing the lawn will not be too far away and it is better to mow more often leaving the clippings on the lawn that to allow it to grow too tall and have to take too much off to be able to leave it on the lawn. This will only smother the lawn in spots and the rest will be tracked into the house. Be sure to sharpen the blades on the mower to make a nice clean cut and be sure to change directions to the way you mowed your lawn the previous cut to prevent furrowing. Happy Gardening!

How Much Sugar A Day?

Easter is over but lots of candy and chocolates, may still be hanging around. Most people know a lot of sugar isn’t good to eat, while at the same time not even sure of daily limits. The World Health Organization recommends that we should reduce the amount of ‘free sugars’ in our diets. Free sugars are any sugars that are added to food or drinks, or present naturally in unsweetened fruit juices, fruit purées, pastes, as well as honey or syrups. Free sugars do not apply to “natural sugars” found in whole fruits, vegetables and milk. Free-sugar foods tend to contain fewer vitamins, minerals and fibre, and often replace nutritious foods.

know when to fit in simple carbohydrates or “Free Sugars.” The best time to fit them in is when there is an immediate energy needed (ex, when exercising). Other than that, fitting them in when eating other high fiber, protein or healthy fat foods. Basically, nutrient dense foods are the goal, simple carbohydrates can be fit in and are a better choice as there really is no need for “free sugars” in our diet.

Daily sugar recommendations are as follows: • Women: 6 teaspoons or 24 grams/day • Men: 9 teaspoons or 36 grams/day • 11 years and up – 7 teaspoons or 30 grams/day • 7-10 years old: 6 teaspoons or 24 grams/day • 4-6 years old: 5 teaspoons or 19 grams/day • For children under 4 years of age it is recommended they avoid sweetened drinks and added sugars in foods. Also, to throw in another wrench, is fast converting sugars that may not directly show sugar on their label. Foods like; a pealed potato, white bread, wheat bread, white rice, rice cakes, crackers, pasta, and rice milk. These foods would fit in better than “Free sugars,” but still convert into sugar quickly in your body. The reason for this is because they are considered a simple carbohydrate and not complex, meaning they have little to no protein, healthy fat or fiber consisting in them. The goal is to try eat complex carbohydrates and

Effects of Non-nutrient dense foods • Rapid effect on blood sugar levels: Highly processed foods are high in calories and low in vitamins, minerals, and fiber so they break down quickly in the body and cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. • Inappropriate portion size: Junk foods are usually not very filling and we can eat copious amounts – sugar is also very addictive • Weight gain: With the abundance of energy, the body needs to either expel that energy or store as fat. Most of us are not running around like a 2-year-old or have a metabolism of an endurance Olympian, that we will instead, store it as fat. • Lifestyle Chronic Diseases. Excess weight and body fat are the highest major risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes, and accounts for 90-95% of incidences. Leading up to this there could be other signs as high BP and cholesterol levels. These other 2 factors are also from the high sodium and saturat-

ed fats that usually accompany “junk foods” Tips and Simple Swaps • Instead of cakes, pastries, biscuits or sweets: • Whole grain high fiber bread or English muffin with some natural peanut butter and banana or with cheese or hummus • Plain yogurt or cottage cheese with berries • Instead of pop or sugary drinks: • Sparkling water mixed with a small amount of unsweetened fruit juice. Or blend fruit with ice and milk. Herbal tea chilled is nice too Finding yourself struggling and want some support to get your health on track, then contact DEEM Health.

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.

Pretty? Yes. Invasive? Yes In my garden, and on the lawn every year there is this little tiny flower, it doesn't last a long time, but every year there are more of them. I didn't ever plant them, one day they just started to grow. I never pull them out, or anything else I just let them be there making my yard look colorful. They are tiny little blue flowers that have a white center. The colors also come in white and pink, but in my yard I have only seen the blue ones. They dry nice for your art and craft projects, and make good cut flowers as well. Many people have told me they are called different names like Star of David, Star of Bethlehem, Jack in the Pulpit, Jack Pop Up, etc. and when I looked them up today, none of those answers were the same as what I found. The name for them apparently is Glory of The Snow.(Chionodoxa, this name is from the words from the Greek language Chion means Snow, and Doxa means Glory) Imagine, being so spectacular that your name is Glory of the Snow, MEL ARNOLD

they are called this as even though they are an early spring flower, they can at times be seen peeking up through the snow. These little flowers can handle drought, sun or shade, mine are under the Lilac trees right now, but I have seen them grow through the gravel as well, they are so versatile they can even grow in the forests and on the mountains. Keeping your pets and small children away from these plants is a good idea as if the flower is ingested it can bring some irritation in the stomach. Although there are some flowers

that you can eat, the Glory of the Snow is not one of them. Glory of the Snow can grow from about 4-6" high. I like these flowers in my yard, they are so bright and cheery you can't help but smile, even on a dreary or rainy day.

Arts & Culture from the Edge

Extended - MAC Local Arts and Culture Grant – Call for Applications MAC is putting out the call for applications for the 2022 MAC Local Arts and Culture grants. Application forms and guidelines will be available at the office and via email. Deadline: May 30th /2022 Silent Auction Join us for our auction through the month of April, just in time for Mothers day, we will have lots of wonderful items from around our wonderful community. Funds raised from this event will help fund Art classes and events around our community. The Auction will run from April 6th to April 30th at the Village Gallery. Call for Artists “Farm and Field” “Being a farmer means shaking hands with nature”Unknown With April coming up quickly and many farmers and ranchers in our area already tending to new calves and lambs, the Monashee Arts Council couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate those who help put food on our tables as they work tirelessly tending the land. Theirs is a job that does not end when they clock out of the office, from repairing the broken fence, checking on expectant mothers in the middle of frigid January nights and drying a new born calf, to sowing seeds in the fields after a long sleepy winter, cutting and baling the hay in the heat of our Okanagan summers. It is a life that begins before the sun rises and well until after it has set. It is a respect for life in all its forms from the first tender blooms on the fruit trees that will become some of our favorite treats, the first gasping breaths of a new born lamb to the final harvest and all the moments in between and beyond that keeps the wheel turning.

Join us as we celebrate all aspects of the life on the farm and in the fields of our community in our favorite artistic mediums. Applications are avaliable at the Village Gallery, 1975 Vernon Street, Monday to Saturday 10 to 4 or on the website: monasheeartscouncil.com.

Wine as Medicine

Donna Easto, C.H., H.C., M.H., Certified Herbal Educator Wine may be the oldest of all drinks. The consumption of fermented fruits began when enjoyed by insects such as bees, butterflies, and birds, and mammals such as bats and chimpanzees, long before man walked upright The earliest evidence of wine as medicine comes from the ancient city of Nippur in the Iraqi desert. A tablet from that city bears what may be the first ever medical prescription for wine as medicine. The tablet contains a number of recipes for salves infused with wine. One such prescription states ``Pound together: dried wine dregs, juniper and prunes, pour beer on the mixture. Then rub [the diseased part] with oil, and bind on [as a plaster].” Grapes and wine are mentioned more often than any other plant in the Bible. The Talmud lists wine as curative for problems of the heart, eyes and bowels. As the Black Plague ran rampant in the mid 1300s, desperate people turned to measures such as blood-letting, and rubbing onions or a chopped snake directed on the boils. One popular recipe for a winebased cure called for “flesh of vipers, wine, opium, rhubarb, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and 65 other ingredients. It seems the mixture was considered appropriate for treating stomach weakness, laboured breathing and even the plague itself. It took until the middle ages to realize that the com-

pound was not highly effective. • Over the years, wine has been used as an analgesic, antiseptic, sedative and water purifier. Today, it is considered that drinking one or two drinks per day of wine reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, hardening of the arteries, and heart attack. • Elderly men who drink one glass of wine (or other alcohol) per day seem to maintain better general thinking ability during their late 70s and 80s when compared with non-drinkers. • People who drink moderate amounts of wine might have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Not all research agrees that wine improves blood sugar, blood pressure, or lipid levels. • Helicobacter pylori/H. Pylori is a digestive tract infection that can lead to ulcers. Research shows that moderate (75g per week) from wine or beer can reduce the risk of the infection. • Wine, when included as a moderate addition to the diet may help ward off certain cancers as well. • Red wine is generally considered a better choice because it contains more powerful antioxidants (Resveratrol), polyphenols (fight premature ageing), and higher levels of silicon (helps increase the density of bones and reduce the chance of osteoporosis).

• Of course, drinking alcohol of any kind can have negative health consequences, especially if you drink too much. Not a big fan of wine or alcohol? No problem, the latest studies show you can get all the same benefits from grape juice as you can from wine. The reason? Purple grape juice contains the same powerful disease-fighting antioxidants, called flavonoids, that are believed to give wine many of its heart-friendly benefits. The flavonoids in grape juice, like those in wine, have been shown to prevent the oxidation of bad cholesterol LDLs, or low density lipoproteins that lead to formation of plaque in artery walls.

Provincial News

Friday, April 22, 2022 9

British Columbians Urged To Prepare For Floods, Wildfires To prepare for this year's spring freshet and wildfire seasons, the Province is urging caution and encouraging people to prepare for these hazards. British Columbians can take steps to better protect their homes and financial security by buying flood and fire insurance, and can take further action to minimize the potential for damage when flooding is forecast or wildfire threat is high. "As we've seen in recent years, from wildfires to floods, many households in the province are uninsured or underinsured for the hazards we face in British Columbia, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change," said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. "The Province is working hard to support those affected by recent disasters, but ultimately flood and fire insurance is one of the best ways you can protect your family." Home insurance is widely available in every community throughout the province and provides coverage for fire damage and losses. While residential flood insurance can be limited in areas of higher risk, insurance representatives can help determine if residential flood insurance or sewer-backup coverage is available for your property. Disaster Financial Assistance is not available for losses due to wildfire because of the availability of fire insurance, which is why it is important to discuss coverage with an insurance company or representative. People can also contact the Insurance Bureau of Canada at 1 844 227-5422 for information regarding home insurance. "As our climate changes, we're seeing a dramatic increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events like floods, storms and wildfires in British Columbia," said Aaron Sutherland, vice-president, western and Pacific, Insurance Bureau of Canada. "Insurance is a critical tool to help individuals and families prepare for - and recover from - these risks, should the worst occur." Those who have already purchased insurance should review their policies to ensure their coverage best meets their needs. This is particularly important to do outside of flood and wildfire season, as homeowners may face challenges obtaining new policies or coverages if their property is under evacuation alert or order. If you are placed under evacuation alert for any reason, you should immediately: • Get prepared to leave your home on short notice. • Get your grab-and-go bags ready (which should include several days of clothing, toiletries and medications), your emergency plan, copies of important documents and important mementos. • Listen to local emergency officials for further information on the situation. If you are placed under evacuation order for any reason, you must:

Cleaning, Draining, And Drying Watercraft Can Prevent The Introduction Of A Deadly Fish Disease Rainbow trout infected with whirling disease which damages the backbone of the fish causing them to swim in a “whirling” pattern. (Photo: Sascha Hallett, fishpathogens.net) Boating season is quickly approaching! As we welcome the arrival of spring and warmer weather, we are hoping invasive hitchhikers keep away for another season. With more visitors and watercraft travelling across the province, there is an increased risk of an accidental introduction of invasive species, including whirling disease, an invasive species often overshadowed by zebra and quagga mussels. Whirling disease is caused by a microscopic parasite called Myxobolus cerebralis and causes young salmonid fishes, including whitefish, trout and salmon species, to die prematurely. As the name suggests, infected fish are often found swimming in an abnormal whirling pattern as the disease causes damage to the cartilage in the backbone. This makes it difficult for young fish to feed and avoid predators. In the U.S., whirling disease has been present since the 1950’s and caused significant decreases in many salmonid populations. In Montana and Colorado, some

populations of rainbow trout declined by 90% after the disease was introduced. Whirling disease was first detected in Canada at Banff National Park in 2016 and has since spread across Alberta through infected rivers. There is no treatment for the disease and extreme measures, including lowering water levels and removing fish from a lake, have been used to prevent the disease from spreading further into Banff National Park. There are currently no known occurrences of whirling disease in B.C. It is still a mystery how the disease first arrived in Canada but the occurrence in Banff National Park highlights the high potential for humans to serve as

vectors for transporting invasive species. The disease can also be transmitted through dead infected fish, so discarding any part of a fish, alive or dead, in lakes or rivers could contribute to the spread of the disease. The spores of the disease can also survive waste water treatment systems, so it is very important to ensure that all fish waste, including unused bait, is disposed of in the garbage and not down the drain. To help prevent the spread of whirling disease into B.C., boaters and anglers should be particularly vigilant about cleaning their equipment after visiting Alberta or the U.S. Travellers bringing watercraft into B.C. must stop at any watercraft inspection station. As a routine practice to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, all watercraft and fishing gear should be thoroughly cleaned, drained and dried between waterbodies. Members of the public are encouraged to report any suspected invasive species using the provincial “Report Invasives BC” smartphone application (available for download from www.gov.bc.ca/ invasive-species) or, if invasive mussels are suspected, to call the Report All Poachers and Polluters hotline at 1-877-952-7277.
